Flash Fire

It is 1704. Mercy Carter lives in Deerfield, Massachusetts - an English settlement in a divided continent. Death is always close at hand - death from the weather, from the French, and from the Kahnawake Indians. It is a brutal place. And it's about to get worse. When a group of Kahnawake raids Deerfield one icy night, Mercy is captured, with hundreds of other settlers, and dragged by the Indians on a long, long trail to the unknown north. They walk until their feet bleed and their spirits are bowed. They walk with little food, for forty days and nights, three-hundred miles to a Kahnawake village. Some of them don't make it that far - and many of those who do would rather have died on the way. A new life lies in wait. But is it slavery - or a kind of freedom? Mercy, along with her fiercely religious, fiercely English family, had always thought of the Indians as savages. But as she begins to live their life, she becomes one of them...

Twins

Anaxandra is taken from her birth island at age 6 by King Nicander to be a companion to his crippled daughter, Princess Callisto. Six years later, her new island is sacked by pirates and she is the sole survivor. Alone with only her Medusa figurine, she reinvents herself as Princess Callisto when Menelaus, great king of Sparta, lands with his men. He takes her back to Sparta with him where Helen, his beautiful wife, does not believe that the red-headed child is Princess Callisto. Although fearful of the half-mortal, half-goddess Helen, Anaxandra is able to stay out of harm’s way—until the Trojan princes Paris and Aeneas arrive. Paris and Helen’s fascination with each other soon turns to passion and plunges Sparta and Troy into war. Can Anaxandra find the courage to reinvent herself once again, appease the gods, and save herself? In Caroline B. Cooney’s epic tale of one girl’s courage and will to survive, Anaxandra learns that home is where you make it and identity goes deeper than just your name.
