Book excerpt: Jonothon Wyer trembled beneath his desk as the sirens blared their dreaded warning: Magic is coming! His entire life, he had been told to fear the wizards from across the Dawn, but never did his small town expect to be the epicenter of the next world war of machines against magic! Sickly and friendless, Jono's only hope was to enlist into the mechanized army of the Dark End. He was promised that machines will make him strong enough to be the hero he read about in books. Jono never questioned his fate until his discovery of an ancient relic revealed that a wizard was living with them all along! What is a true hero to do, when good and evil depended on which side of the border you were born? Caught between the politics, prophesy and prejudice of a fantastical world drowning in fear, Jono must dare to question everything he was raised to believe in order to prevent the key to controlling the sun itself from falling into the wrong hands. As living shadows of the Dark Empress hunt to gain the key's terrible power and the Sage of Ages rallies spell-casting knights to prepare for war, Jono must race for answers across a planet mired in a rusting history, from the shimmering towers of Caer Midus to the dank caverns of the Windom Academy. With the help of a chipper mechgineer and a chemix caster, Jono must use all his wit and courage to reveal the horrible truth that lurks behind the mask of blind faith before the stories both sides tell themselves lead to their own destruction. Dark & Day is a journey of discovering and defining who you are and what you believe in, even when the world around you has already made up its mind.

Book excerpt: In Shadow Moon and Shadow Dawn, George Lucas, creator of Star Wars, and Chris Claremont, author of the bestselling X-Men adventures, created a new world of myth, magic, and legend unlike any before. Now they bring their epic trilogy to an unforgettable conclusion in a novel of blazing imaginative brilliance... Elora Danan has done the unthinkable. She has slain the dragons that were the embodiment of the soul of Creation. It was a desperate act--the only way to save the dragons from the Deceiver, who would have used them to rule the Realms. Yet in Elora's possession are two last dragon eggs. To protect them, Elora spellbinds herself to her faithful companions Thorn Drumheller, the Nelwyn sorcerer and her sworn guardian, and Khory Bannefin, the long-dead woman warrior whose body is inhabited by a demon's offspring. It is a dire spell that ensures none of them will betray their cause...even at the cost of their lives. And if one of them dies, the magic of the eggs is lost forever. Pursued through a land of shadow predators by the dreaded Black Rose, the Deceiver's commando assassins, Elora and her allies must reach the free city-state of Sandeni. There they will be reunited with old friends: the brownies Franjean and Rool, the eagles Anele and Bastian, and the young warrior-scribe Luc-Jon. But Sandeni is besieged by mighty armies fueled by the Deceiver's sorcery, warrior wizards, and engines of evil magic. With defeat all but certain, Elora must convince the Sandeni people to continue the fight. What she doesn't tell them is that the greatest enemy lies within her. For the Deceiver is her own dark twin from a potential future of unimaginable evil...an evil that lies dormant in Elora's soul. And the only way Elora can stop the future is to befriend an enemy whose insatiable appetite for destruction could destroy all of Creation. Or is that, too, part of the Deceiver's plan? Seamlessly weaving together the many strands of this rich tapestry, Shadow Star is guaranteed to satisfy its many fans...and leave them breathless.
