The first book in this popular fantasy series follows thirteen-year-old twins Meghan and Colin Jacoby as they are whisked into a world of magic and mystery, and in the process, free their own fates and ignite a prophecy made long ago. They find new friends, fun and adventure as well as deadly enemies and a dangerous mission in this spine-tingling supernatural saga. Colin Jacoby loves a trip to fantasyland. It's so much better than real life-which mostly consists of hiding from bullies. Or worse, his twin sister, Meghan. Nearly impossible to do when they can read each other's minds and she knows when humiliation is inevitable-his of course, never hers. Colin's favorite thing is to get lost in a good fantasy or sci-fi novel, but he never expected a free book gifted from a grizzled flea market owner to change his entire future within an hour after taking it out of the market. The giver of the book insists that Colin take good care of it-easier said than done when the book starts talking to you! And-is rude! And seems to have a mind and agenda of its own. But it's mostly rude to Meghan. Which Colin finds funny, and leave it to his sister to find a way to insult a book! But talking books, even rude ones, should not exist. Not in the real world, at least. Unless the world they've been living in isn't the real world, or the right one? But it's a world and a life that Meghan loves. It's predictable. And therefore, somewhat controllable. But for Colin, it's yet another day he has to rely on his twin sister to come to his rescue. But the book changes all that and gives Colin an incredible gift which he uses to stand up for himself, his friends, and much larger more frightening foe that should most definitely not exist in the real world. And the oddities don't stop at rude books! There's the new strangers in the campground who dress in fancy shoes and too warm overcoats for hiking in the woods. And the unnerving sounds echoing high over the treetops. Or the talking cat that jumps out of a fire. Or a bird that seems to be following them. And the hushed whispers of those they've always called relatives, or friends. And just when they think things can't get any crazier or more unbelievable, and that life is about to return to wonderful (according to Meghan) and boring (according to Colin) old normalsville, a series of unbelievable events leads to an unfortunate and shocking twist, and the real fantasy adventure begins....

Awaken (the Witches, the Spell Book, and the Magic Tree)

Get the girl. Get the prize. Get out alive. In the valley of Eidolon, magic is strictly forbidden--at least, that's what everyone's been told. Regardless, it doesn't stop Colin Jacoby from breaking the rules to try to find his dream girl who is a prisoner running out of time. Simultaneously, his sister and now Firemancer in training, Meghan, is mortified to learn she'll be working alongside the forever irritable Ivan Crane when the Queen sends them on a dangerous, but life-saving quest. For brother and sister, this means dual secret missions into the heart of Eidolon Valley. Where devilish creatures come to life after dark and the landscape changes each morning. Where deadly obstacles lurk at every turn and questions and mysteries pile up faster than they can be answered or solved. But when the quest goes terribly wrong and war breaks out, it becomes a race to get out alive for everyone. Colin's magic surprises all, but in the process, he awakens something inside of himself that might lead to the destruction of the entire magical world.

Embrace (the Shifter, the Magic Map, and the Goblin King)

A ghostly intervention-the past will come back to haunt you... Jae Mochrie is Juliska Blackwell's prisoner. She's tasked him with a simple request, one he refuses to do and the price for his defiance is exactly what he expects. But he sees an out, a possible solution, or at least a temporary solution which might win him more time before she orders the inevitable-kill the people he loves. His friends. His family. Or innocent strangers... Unfortunately, his solution does not go as planned and Juliska's reaction is not what he expects, at all. It sends her into a fury. And to top it off, she sees a ghost from her past. A face she never wanted to see again. These events set off a chain reaction leading to Juliska's first real vision in years. Just how did Juliska Blackwell go from lost girl found and raised by the Svoda, to a Firemancer, to being their Queen? You might think you know her motivation...there's been a few hints along the way. But what really happened when she was kidnapped by Jurekai Fazendiin-the first created and most powerful of the Immortal Grosvenor? And what tragedy ruined what should have been the happiest day of her life? Her wedding day... And who exactly is "Uncle Eddy" otherwise known as Colin Edward Gillivray, and why did he take his own life? Forcing himself to straddle the world of the living and the world of the dead, for all eternity? It's time for a trip back in time... The Seer's Apprentice, The Pearl Dragon, and The Devoted Ghost-Forsaken

Forsaken (the Seer's Apprentice, the Pearl Dragon, and the Devoted Ghost)

Blood is the most powerful sort of magic there is-a gift, and a curse... "This is what you've been searching for, Ivan. This is the treasure your mother left for you. You couldn't find it because you thought it was lost, but it wasn't. The treasure your mother left behind..." Meghan couldn't say it aloud. It dumbfounded her that this revelation made her so happy. Giddy, even. Like fate had just slapped her in the face with a happy spell...and all Ivan could manage was a befuddled stare. His mother had left him something truly priceless...a gift like no other.
