It's the final year for most of the Defenders at the School of Roots and Vines. It's hard to imagine that Sophie is beginning her senior year and planning her wedding to Marcus the following summer. The group still needs to find their 6th Defender in order to save Thicket Hall and prevent the Serpent from being unleashed.

The fight for the survival of the entire Elemental Race is here and despite his worry, Brigham is taking the monster slayer, Halsey Ambrosius to the airport. She's going to face whatever awaits her at the Order of Skrar's headquarters. The fate of the world is hinging on what happens at this meeting. No big deal, right? Halil Aydem, or the creature masquerading inside him, has something to show Halsey. Something he claims will change everything she knows about the world.

Skharr DeathEater, the Barbarian of Theros, has not only gotten married, but he also has a child on the way. Unfortunately, the lands he and his wife acquired are rife with issues. Skharr doesn't know how to do anything except take matters into his own hands. Will he be able to do that when his wife is as deadly as he is and not in a good mood? Eventually, someone must figure out what is going on in the north and Skharr is the right Barbarian for the job.

With her name cleared and an impressive rep building around her, Mia thought things would get easier. No such luck. She can't even go shopping at her favorite used starship lot without assassins emerging from the woodwork.

Wenn du dich mit diesem Mädchen anlegst, bekommst du einen Arschtritt. An manchen Tagen trete ich dem Leben in den Hintern. An anderen Tagen tritt es zurück. An guten Tagen stürzt mich das Fianna-Zeichen in brenzlige Situationen. Es ist ein Durcheinander, aber ich schaffe es, es mit der Hilfe meiner wunderbaren Familie und Freunden zusammenzuhalten: den mythischen, den magischen und den sterblichen.

Cora gave up everything to stay alive. Her relationship, her home, and her actual life. She didn't even get a t-shirt to go with her ethically murky career path and the two foster kids who crash landed in her life. Parenting the powerful comes with growing pains no one could prepare Cora for.

The last semester of classes for Sophie Briggs at The School of Roots and Vines is racing to the end. A confrontation and battle with the Serpent, Azdaja, is fast approaching. The legendary Thicket Hall is dying and no matter what the Defenders do, they can only slow the ancient tree's death, not stop it. Could its end lead to a new beginning?

A monster that doesn't exist in any mythology or any of their ancient lore has suddenly appeared. A creature so monstrous, they have no idea how to fight it. The beast can even take on the form of anyone they know and love. Well, that's just wrong. There's more trouble on the horizon. Has the Order of Skrár been an Order of blood humans this whole time? Were they recording all the history of magicals and monsters without a single elemental catching on that they couldn't be trusted?

Cheyenne Summerlin sought answers about her condition from the Banebreaker, but the answers she got weren't what she was wanted. What is a Drow to do when things aren't going her way? Fight harder. Cheyenne and Bianca are running out of options. It's time go across the portal to Ambar'ogúl or die trying.

The secret contained the heart of Ambar'ogúl and a coin placed on the Crown's altar. But not without her father's help. Will L'zar Verdys risk everything for the daughter he just met and the throne he never wanted? Cheyenne will have to take a trip to the other side to see the destruction in L'zar's world and learn more about him and the rebellion. L'zar's rebels are ready to fight to stop the coming war and the creeping blight, and they need Cheyenne to join them. Will her halfling blood be the edge they need?

A puzzle box continues to stump Cheyenne. Time to look elsewhere, but will the Goth Drow find the answers she needs without it? Classes continue, and the FRoE is finally taking the hint that her work has to be extracurricular activities. She has just as much to learn from them as she does from college. Their lessons are just a lot more dangerous and deadly. Who can Cheyenne trust while she learns to control her growing powers? Then there's her father. Can she give him another chance?

What does a Drow do when the Crown doesn't want her to complete the trials? If you're Cheyenne Summerlin, you work with your allies and try even harder to complete them. Just for fun. That's how a Goth Drow does it, anyway. Finishing the trials may be key to stopping a hidden war that's bubbling to the surface. Being a Drow halfling just got a lot more complicated. Random portals are popping up, and they may put Cheyenne and her family and friends in danger. Then there are the innocents...can Cheyenne put a stop to this madness before things go horribly sideways?

More magic, more mayhem. Things are going BOOM in unexpected way for Cheyenne, including her car. Cheyenne's life is changing, but is it for the better? She's learning how to control her magic, but still has a long way to go before she can complete her trials. Will she have enough time to master her powers and learn new spells before she takes on the trials? And what is big, bad daddy L'zar keeping from her? She's going to find out one way or another. She has work to do, and nothing gets in the way of a Goth Drow.

Cheyenne Summerlin is a Goth Drow with a lot of secrets. She just doesn't know it yet. And they're all starting to spill out. First, there are more halflings just like her. More magicals equals more problems. Then there's her father. L'zar Vendys is a complicated Drow who makes enemies way too easily. And then there's the truth her mother has been hiding from her. That little bomb may be the worst of all. Will Cheyenne be able to handle everything she learns? Will she be able to gain more control over her powers?

Cheyenne's come face-to-face with her jailbird Drow dad. She has to come to terms with the whole picture of her family. Mom was a political operative, and Dad likes to plot anarchy. Can L'zar Verdys help her reach her true potential from inside a Chateau D'rahl cell? Cheyenne's Goth grad student world and her magical role as a Drow halfling is blurring. Family history can be the hardest kind to bear. The rebellion she's battling was started by L'zar and has become an endless O'gúl war that has fallen to her to end. Can you walk away from family? Not if you're Cheyenne Summerlin.

The Crown has been forcing people to move into the city. Easier to control. They've even been ruining the Outers to make life outside the city difficult at best, impossible at worst. Cheyenne needs to do something about it - fast.

Even magical families have their share of secrets. And Drow Royalty's secrets run even deeper - with a hint of danger. Cheyenne Summerlin's finding that out firsthand. Can anyone in her family tell the truth and avoid the mayhem? That doesn't seem likely.

When friends are enemies and enemies are friends, it's hard for Cheyenne to know who to trust - especially within the FRoE. Things are changing with Cheyenne's mom and not for the better. A new rune appears on Cheyenne's skin, and they know they have to do something.

The clock is ticking. Cheyenne Summerlin has two weeks to find someone else to take her place on the throne. Better search fast because the Crown isn't keen on waiting. And the Crown isn't the only one Cheyenne is having problems with. Tensions are rising between Nightstalkers and the Raug as they journey in search of a hidden prince.

The end to the fight is nigh. Cheyenne has accepted who she is and she's done playing nice Drow. Time to find Corian and stop the spell L'zar is casting before he creates portals between two worlds that could be wide open forever. Can you believe he's really doing this? Or is he being controlled by someone with darker intentions?
