Collection: Fantasy

#1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Briggs invites readers to follow her into the seductive realm of the Alpha and Omega series...

Anne Latham didn't know how complicated life could be until she became a werewolf and was mated to Charles Cornick, the son--and enforcer--of the leader of the North American werewolves. She didn't know how dangerous it could be either...

Anna and Charles have just been enlisted to attend a summit to present Bran's controversial proposition: that the wolves should finally reveal themselves to humans. But the most feared Alpha in Europe is dead set against the plan--and it seems like someone else might be, too. When Anna is attacked by vampires using pack magic, the kind of power only werewolves should be able to draw on, Charles and Anna must combine their talents to hunt down whoever is behind it all--or risk losing everything...

It's not easy for Danny Dragonbreath to be the sole mythical creature in a school for reptiles and amphibians?especially because he can't breathe fire like other dragons (as the school bully loves to remind him). But having a unique family comes in handy sometimes, like when his sea-serpent cousin takes Danny and his best iguana friend on a mindboggling underwater tour, complete with vomiting sea cucumbers and giant squid. It sure beats reading the encyclopedia to research his ocean report . . .

Using a hybrid of comic-book panels and text, Ursula Vernon introduces an irresistible set of characters with a penchant for getting themselves into sticky situations. It's perfect for both the classroom and fans of Wimpy Kid and Bad Kitty.

Quintessence is an extraordinary story from Jess Redman about friendship, self-discovery, interconnectedness, and the inexplicable elements that make you you.

Find the Elements. Grow the Light. Save the Starling.

Three months ago, twelve-year-old Alma moved to the town of Four Points. Her panic attacks started a week later, and they haven't stopped--even though she's told her parents that they have. She's homesick and friendless and every day she feels less and less like herself.

But one day she finds a telescope in the town's junk shop, and through its lens, she watches a star--a star that looks like a child--fall from the sky and into her backyard. Alma knows what it's like to be lost and afraid, to long for home, and she knows that it's up to her to save the star. And so, with the help of some unlikely new friends from Astronomy Club, she sets out on a quest that will take a little bit of science, a little bit of magic, and her whole self.

This title has Common Core connections.

A forgotten door on an abandoned railway platform is the entrance to a magical kingdom--an island where humans live happily with mermaids, ogres, and other wonderful creatures. Carefully hidden from the world, the Island is only accessible when the door opens for nine days every nine years. When the beastly Mrs. Trottle kidnaps the Island's young prince, it's up to a strange band of rescuers to save him. But can the rescuers--an ogre, a hag, a wizard, and a fey--sneak around London unnoticed? Fans of Roald Dahl, Lewis Carroll, and E. Nesbit will delight in this comic fantasy.

From Erin Hunter, #1 nationally bestselling author of Warriors, comes the third book in the action-packed Survivors animal fantasy series. Full of "wild and wonderful adventure" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review), Survivors will thrill fans of Spirit Animals and Wings of Fire.

The Wild Pack's ruthless Alpha has reluctantly agreed to allow the Leashed Dogs to join his Pack--but not before learning of Lucky's role as a spy, and casting him out of the Pack forever. Lucky tries to be happy to have his freedom again, but this new world is treacherous for a Lone Dog. For the first time since the Big Growl, Lucky is desperate to have other dogs by his side . . . but it might be too late.

The paperback edition also includes a teaser to Survivors #4: The Broken Path!

After a life of hiding and laying low so as not to end up trapped in the Underworld, that's exactly where Reagan finds herself.

It could be worse, though. She could've had a hostile father as her jailor instead of a man eager to teach her magic. She might've been trapped with someone other than the steadfast Druid.

She could've gone her whole life without riding a dragon!

When push comes to shove, maybe the Underworld isn't so bad.

Or maybe Lucifer is doing what he does best - deceiving her to get what he wants.

Reagan must walk a razor-thin edge to keep her independence.

She must battle wills with the lord of the Underworld.

The Grim Reaper can bite me.

I'm bound to Grim by blood now, making me his vampire slave for all eternity.

But he'll find out there is only one will I abide by. Mine.

Now the rest of the immortals know I exist, and they want a lookey-loo at the only living vampire.

Except half the immortals want to possess me as their own vampire slave, while the other half wants to kill me outright.

Grim swears he won't let anyone harm me, but he's been absorbing tainted, dark souls to the breaking point.

How can he protect anyone when his power is compromised?

This is fine, right?

Asking for a friend.

Read Kissed by Death: Book Two if your dying for an immature yet kickass heroine, alpha hero, cheeky humor, and a slow burn to steamy series.

*Make sure to read book one: Bitten by Death first, before diving into this second installment. You won't regret it.*

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Not every dragonet wants a destiny ... Clay has grown up under the mountain, chosen along with four other dragonets to fulfill a mysterious prophecy and end the war between the dragon tribes of Pyrrhia. He's not so sure about the prophecy part, but Clay can't imagine not living with the other dragonets; his best friends. So, when one of the dragonets is threatened, all five spring into action. Together, they will choose freedom over fate, leave the mountain, and fulfill their destiny -- on their own terms. The New York Times bestselling Wings of Fire series takes flight in this first graphic novel edition, adapted by the author with art by Mike Holmes.

In this sequel to the New York Times bestselling, "pulse-pounding" (Publishers Weekly) A Door in the Dark, Ren's intellect and cunning are stretched to the limit in her quest to take down the system that stole her father's life.

Ren Monroe is a wolf among lions. After infiltrating one of the greatest Houses in Kathor through her successful bond with Theo Brood, she finds Theo's father is two steps ahead. He exiles Theo and isolates Ren, strategically working to break her unwelcome grasp on his son--and foiling Ren's first step to enacting the revenge she's been planning her whole life.

Ren might have more resources than she'd ever imagined growing up, but she'll still get nowhere without allies. Enter House Tin'Vori. Years ago, House Brood led an unprecedented raid to destroy a fellow House of Kathor. But a few siblings survived, and they haven't forgotten the horrors waged against their family. Quietly, they've plotted their own revenge, waiting for the right moment to strike. And Ren Monroe might be their best chance.

Like fire, the Tin'Vori siblings are as dangerous as they are useful, both gifted in rare magics. Ren must decide how to unleash them against House Brood without hurting Theo in the process. Her feelings for Theo are growing past the boundaries of their bond, and Ren finds herself balanced on a knife's edge, a breath away from immense power or utter ruin.

En el primer año algunos pierden la vida. En el segundo año, los que sobrevivimos perdemos la compasión . --Xaden Riorson

Todos esperaban que Violet Sorrengail muriera en su primer año en el Colegio de Guerra de Basgiath, incluso ella misma. Pero la Trilla fue tan solo la primera de una serie de pruebas imposibles destinadas a deshacerse de los pusilánimes, los indignos y los desafortunados.

Ahora comienza el verdadero entrenamiento y Violet no sabe cómo logrará superarlo. No solo porque es brutal y agotador ni porque está diseñado para llevar al límite el umbral del dolor de los jinetes, sino porque el nuevo vicecomandante está empeñado en demostrar a Violet lo débil que es a menos que traicione al hombre que ama.

Aunque el cuerpo de Violet es más frágil que el de sus compañeros, su fuerza radica en su ingenio y voluntad de hierro. Además, los líderes están olvidando la lección más importante que Basgiath les ha enseñado: los jinetes de dragones crean sus propias reglas.

La voluntad de sobrevivir no será suficiente este año, porque Violet conoce el secreto que se oculta entre los muros del colegio y nada, ni siquiera el fuego de dragón, será suficiente para salvarlos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTON

"The first year is when some of us lose our lives. The second
year is when the rest of us lose our humanity." ―Xaden
Riorson.

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at
Basgiath War College―Violet included. But Threshing was only
the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the
unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and
Violet's already wondering how she'll get through. It's not just that
it's grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it's designed to
stretch the riders' capacity for pain beyond endurance. It's the new
vice commandant, who's made it his personal mission to teach
Violet exactly how powerless she is, unless she betrays the man
she loves.
.

Although Violet's body might be weaker and frailer than everyone
else's, she still has her wits―and a will of iron. And leadership is
forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath has taught her:
Dragon riders make their own rules.
.

But a determination to survive won't be enough this year. Because
Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War
College―and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to
save them in the end.

In a world of perpetual shadow, a boy is born wielding remarkable power over fire. Amos is seven when he kills a Shadow Wolf and becomes a legend in Shiloh. Everyone is amazed by him . . . and afraid that his father may be a madman. His father tells stories about a world beyond the Shadow, a time before the Shadow. People who tell those stories usually come to unfortunate ends.

The year Amos and his best friend, Simeon, turn twelve, they are itching to prove themselves. An impetuous plan to steal a beautiful lantern goes miserably awry, and the lantern's owner prophesies that Amos will be devoured by the Shadow. For the first time, a seed of fear is planted in Amos's mind, and when his father is killed by a Shadow Wolf on the last day of the Great Hunt, the fear takes hold. If so great and brave a man as his father could fall to the Shadow, what hope does he have?

Does anyone ever truly escape the Shadow?
