Book excerpt: Ragnarok.A thousand years ago, the Nine Realms burned and the gods were driven to the brink of annihilation. To save themselves, a deal was struck with the Fates of Asgard: every hundred years, their powerful magick and unique gifts would be removed and gifted to others so that the worlds could live on. And so, every hundred years, fifty mortal boys and girls become the Favoured who inherit and wield each gods' power in service to the Nine Realms. It has been this way for a thousand years. So when Amanda West is claimed as the fifty-first Favoured, neither god nor mortal can answer why. And who has the time? There are runes to decipher, spells to memorize, and vile creatures to defeat in battle. Even worse, Amanda's parents have been turned into mice, and it is up to her to save them. And that's when things are going well. But all is not well in Asgard. An outbreak of deadly, fell magick is spreading throughout the realm, bringing with it rumors of an invasion. Lord Odin, ruler of the gods, cannot be found. Lady Freyja, the warrior-goddess who trains the Favoured in the art of war, suspects Amanda is the reason for their troubles. At first, Amanda finds solace in her Favoured friendships. There's Cassie, her roommate, whose magick can charm anyone to do what she tells them. The brave-hearted Sean, Favoured of Prince Thor, whose shocking blue eyes match his electricity-fueled magick. And then there is Tess, Prelate of Asgard, last of the Valkyrie; she sees something in the newest Favoured that gives her hope. But there is still the deeper mystery of what Amanda's claiming means. What is her connection to the wild, mysterious enchantress sealed away in a hidden tower? The Nine Realms have tried to forget her because once, a thousand years ago, the lone goddess that shares Amanda's magick tried to burn them all.

Book excerpt: Roger Griffin's lifetime dream lay before him. He stood within an immense interstellar vessel that had lain beneath the Wyoming mountains for millennia. It had remained a virtually impenetrable fortress to the scientific teams that prowled its two-mile-long exterior-until they managed to pry open the door. Then the dream of scientific discovery became a horrific nightmare as an earthquake awakened the long dormant brain of the malfunctioning spacecraft-and rocked the door shut. Griffin and his fellow survivors frantically tried to escape, but the ship's computer took steps to rescue itself and exterminate the humans in board. Suddenly, the newly awakened control room displayed a clock for its terrified inhabitants to see. Its lights blinked in and off, but the message was clear: Six hours until lift-off. Six hours to live. Six hours to die.
