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

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.
