Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In book four of the award-winning Austin Family Chronicles young adult series from Madeleine L’Engle, author of A Wrinkle in Time, Vicky Austin experiences the difficulties and joys of growing up. "This wasn't the first time that I'd come close to death, but it was the first time I'd been involved in this part of it, this strange, terrible saying goodbye to someone you've loved." These are Vicky Austin's thoughts as she stands near Commander Rodney's grave while her grandfather, who himself is dying of cancer, recites the funeral service. Watching his condition deteriorate over that long summer is almost more than she can bear. Then, in the midst of her struggle, she finds herself the center of attention for three young men. Leo, Commander Rodney's son, turns to her as an old friend seeking comfort but longing for romance. Zachary, whose attempted suicide inadvertently caused Commander Rodney's death, sees her as the one sane and normal person who can give some meaning to his life. And Adam, a serious young student working at the nearby marine-biology station, discovers Vicky, his friend's little sister, incipient telepathic powers that can help him with his experiments in dolphin communications. Vicky finds solace and brief moments of peace in her poetry, but life goes on around her, and the strain intensifies as she confronts matters of love and of death, of dependence and of responsibility, universal concerns that we all must face. The inevitable crisis comes and Vicky must rely on openness, sensitivity, and the love of others to overcome her private grief. Once again, Madeleine L'Engle has written a story that revels in the drama of vividly portrayed characters and events of the spiritual and moral dimensions of common human experiences.

Book excerpt: She’s a soldier, a killer, and a Demon King’s obsession . . . This fifth Nightwalkers novel from the New York Times–bestselling author is “sure to enchant” (Karen Marie Moning). For more than six centuries, Noah has wielded the power of fire while ruling over Demonkind. He is steadfast, responsible, and—for the past six months—plagued with red-hot dreams of a daring and dangerous woman. With the madness of the full moon approaching, Noah is desperate to find her, and he turns to a matchmaking Druid for help. What Noah finds out about the woman is more than he bargained for. Kestra Irons is a human with military skills who has no idea she is part Druid, much less the destiny of a Demon King. But her lust for danger will soon be replaced with a different kind of yearning, one for the immortal who will break the laws of time to possess her. Their explosive union is the weapon the Demons need. Rogue Vampires are on the hunt for blood—and they’ll kill every Nightwalker to quench their thirst for power . . .
