For Talia has certain awakening talents of the mind that only a Companion like Rolan can truly sense.But as Talia struggles to master her unique abilities, time is running out. For conspiracy is brewing in Valdemar, a deadly treason that could destroy Queen and kingdom. Opposed by unknown enemies capable of both diabolical magic and treacherous assassination, the Queen must turn to Talia and the Heralds for aid in protecting the realm and insuring the future of the Queen's heir, a child already in danger of becoming bespelled by the Queen's own foes.

The Memoirs of Lady Trent by Marie Brennan (2013-2019)

You, dear reader, continue at your own risk. It is not for the faint of heart--no more so than the study of dragons itself. But such study offers rewards beyond compare: to stand in a dragon's presence, even for the briefest of moments--even at the risk of one's life--is a delight that, once experienced, can never be forgotten. . . .

All the world, from Scirland to the farthest reaches of Eriga, know Isabella, Lady Trent, to be the world's preeminent dragon naturalist. She is the remarkable woman who brought the study of dragons out of the misty shadows of myth and misunderstanding into the clear light of modern science. But before she became the illustrious figure we know today, there was a bookish young woman whose passion for learning, natural history, and, yes, dragons defied the stifling conventions of her day.

Here at last, in her own words, is the true story of a pioneering spirit who risked her reputation, her prospects, and her fragile flesh and bone to satisfy her scientific curiosity; of how she sought true love and happiness despite her lamentable eccentricities; and of her thrilling expedition to the perilous mountains of Vystrana, where she made the first of many historic discoveries that would change the world forever.

Entwined by Heather Dixon Wallwork (2011)

Just when Azalea should feel that everything is before her—beautiful gowns, dashing suitors, balls filled with dancing—it's taken away. All of it. And Azalea is trapped. The Keeper understands. He's trapped, too, held for centuries within the walls of the palace. So he extends an invitation.

Every night, Azalea and her eleven sisters may step through the enchanted passage in their room to dance in his silver forest, but there is a cost. The Keeper likes to keep things. Azalea may not realize how tangled she is in his web until it is too late.

Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor (2011-2022)

Soon she's part of a quartet of magic students, studying the visible and invisible, learning to change reality. But will it be enough to help them when they are asked to catch a career criminal who knows magic too?

Serafina by Robert Beatty (2015-2019)

Serafina has never had a reason to disobey her pa and venture beyond the grounds of the Biltmore estate. There's plenty to explore in her grand home, although she must take care to never be seen. None of the rich folk upstairs know that Serafina exists; she and her pa, the estate's maintenance man, have secretly lived in the basement for as long as Serafina can remember.

But when children at the estate start disappearing, only Serafina knows who the culprit is: a terrifying man in a black cloak who stalks Biltmore's corridors at night. Following her own harrowing escape, Serafina risks everything by joining forces with Braeden Vanderbilt, the young nephew of the Biltmore's owners. Braeden and Serafina must uncover the Man in the Black Cloak's true identity before all of the children vanish one by one.

Serafina's hunt leads her into the very forest that she has been taught to fear. There she discovers a forgotten legacy of magic, one that is bound to her own identity. In order to save the children of Biltmore, Serafina must seek the answers that will unlock the puzzle of her past.

The Children of the Red King by Jenny Nimmo (2002-2009)

His scheming aunts decide to send him to Bloor Academy, a school for geniuses where he uses his gifts to discover the truth despite all the dangers that lie ahead.

One day, September is met at her kitchen window by a Green Wind (taking the form of a gentleman in a green jacket), who invites her on an adventure, implying that her help is needed in Fairyland. The new Marquess is unpredictable and fickle, and also not much older than September. Only September can retrieve a talisman the Marquess wants from the enchanted woods, and if she doesn't . . . then the Marquess will make life impossible for the inhabitants of Fairyland. September is already making new friends, including a book-loving Wyvern and a mysterious boy named Saturday.

World of the Five Gods by Lois McMaster Bujold (2001-2005)

Lord Cazaril has been in turn courier, courtier, castle-warder, and captain; now he is but a crippled ex-galley slave seeking nothing more than a menial job in the kitchens of the Dowager Provincara, the noble patroness of his youth. But Fortunes wheel continues to turn for Cazaril, and he finds himself promoted immediately to the exalted and dangerous position of secretary-tutor to the Iselle, the beautiful, fiery sister of the heir to Chalion’s throne.

Amidst the decaying splendour and poisonous intrigue of Chalion’s ancient capital, Cardegoss, Cazaril is forced to encounter both old enemies and surprising allies, as he seeks to lift the curse of misfortune that clings to the royal family of Chalion, and to all who come too close to them...

But when the confused and curious boy discovers that a mysterious virus is spreading through town, he decides to enter an otherworldly house to stop it. After meeting Suzy Blue and the first part of "the Will" (a frog-looking entity that knows everything about the House), Arthur learns that he's been selected as Rightful Heir to the House and must get the other part of the clock hand in order to defeat Monday. That means getting past Monday's henchmen and journeying to the Dayroom itself. Thankfully, Arthur is up to the challenge, but as he finds out, his fight seems to be only one-seventh over.

Hired by an old wizard, they must steal a treasure that no one can reach. The Crown Tower is the impregnable remains of the grandest fortress ever built and home to the realm's most prized possessions. But it isn't gold or jewels that the wizard is after, and if he can just keep them from killing each other, they just might succeed.

His Brother

Catching his reflection in the mirror seemed about as astonishing as falling in love. Mirrors were unwelcome in his home for simply the fact was most vampiric people couldn't see their reflections or had a superstitious belief. However, Sebastian, his eldest brother, and his brother's children had reflections. They were all half vampiric, plus they had different DNA strands combined. Didn't necessarily mean mirrors were welcome in his eldest brother's house. Elona, Creedence's wife despised mirrors, cause she had no reflection. She was born without her reflection.

But since Elona's suicide, Creedence had implemented a couple of mirrors into the bathrooms for he liked to have his children experience their reflections. Sebastian wasn't too keen on them though.

He cringed every time he walked into the bathroom and saw himself staring back at him. His eyes were silver now, had been for a year and a half. After the Great Blood War, Sebastian's appearance changed and so did Ben's. Most presumed the couple's transformations were a gift by the God who granted them life. Though Sebastian suspected his transformation was because he unlocked his final power; the power to change time. It's how he saved his beloved's life.

Ben, on the other hand, was more complicated. Sebastian would never knew why he changed. Ben had no idea himself.

Sebastian still became shook everytime he caught a glimpse of who he is. His eyes were gleaming especially underneath the soft shining light of the moon. His hair was silver, similar to his twin brother's except Sebastian's hair had a glow. Sebastian missed the darker locks and the pale blue eyes he possessed a year ago.

Sebastian stared at himself for what seemed the longest amount of time. He wanted to punch the mirror, but of course his brother would replace it. He decided to ask Ben whether or not they should make a home elsewhere and together.

As of now, Sebastian lived in Cahya, the vampire City located in the heart of Glessica and Ben lived in the mountains of Golnessa with the Wild Clan. Though distance would seem a problem to most, Sebastian always teleported to Ben and Ben could run faster than any wolf or vampire alive. They were inseparable most days.

Ben had chosen to remain with the Wild Clan after Callista officially appointed him the Leader of his clan and announced Ben's daughter, Chanae would train as his apprentice til he retired from the duties.

Sebastian decided to continue to live peacefully in Cahya and continue his own apprenticeship under his brother's mentorship. Creedence would be retiring from Kingship in no less than a year. Sebastian figured without a Queen or someone to really share his Kingdom with, Creedence wouldn't stay fit for the responsibility.

Sebastian broke off his gaze on the mirror and shook away his thoughts of a new living situation and his brother's withering state of mind. He grabbed what he came into the bathroom for and headed straight back out. He'd forgotten his shoes next to the tub when he showered earlier and had to come back for them. He headed down the spiraling staircase of his mansion, looking forward to see Creedence and his niece and nephew before he left for Richica. He was meeting with the Queen's children to discuss the next Queen and King since Misty had died in battle and Rolan gave up the title. So far no one had come forward to take the place of their parents so Ben, Callista, and Sebastian would help make the final decision with Anazul and her new Beau's help.

Sebastian caught sight of his blond spunky niece gazing through the shutters watching the rain splatter the cobblestone road and listened to the musically sound of rain pattering the roofs. Her dark silver eyes were unblinking and completely focused. He wondered what was going through her bright, intelligent mind. She had become less talkative and bubbly since her mother's untimely and unfortunately suicide. She wore her corn silk straight blond hair in a messy, unbrushed bun instead of down and brushed. Sometimes, Sebastian wondered if she'd ever come out of the depressed shell her mother's suicide caused her to be trapped in. But Sebastian knew grief and mourning took a long time to dwindle.

He noticed she had on a dark blue dress that had once belonged to her mother. She probably wore it because Elona's scent still clinged to the material. It was no secret Caereli loved her mother's scent. Most children loved their mother's scent like an adult loves wine.

Sebastian was about to stride over to his niece when his nephew collided into him and sent Sebastian sprawling onto the living room floor. "Crescent, what have I told you about running in the house?" Sebastian heard his brother's voice call down to his son as he walked down the staircase. His dark mahogany wooden cane clicked on the iron steps. Sebastian lifted his head to see Creedence step down onto the steady living room floor. He saw the red ball with the porcelain fang inside at the top of his cane. He winced, remembering who's fang that belonged too.

He tore his eyes from his brother's cane and looked directly at him. Creedence looked sicker than the previous day. Around his wide, dark gray eyes, dark circles bruised the pale skin. His skin sunk over his cheekbones causing his cheeks to look hollow. His lips lost all the pink color Sebastian was used to seeing.

And Creedence had visibly lost tons of weight. He appeared nearly as skinny as Ben and Ben was skinnier than anyone Sebastian knew. Creedence's appearance began to raise alarm and questions in his subjects, so Creedence isolated himself from the rest of the world. Sebastian had done the same once upon a time. Different reasons of course, but still didn't mean Sebastian wasn't worried about his brother.

Creedence had on a tight soft touch Aegean blue sweater and some loose fitting white jeans and a giant black cloak with a red gem to fasten it around his neck. His feet were bare save for the socks. He glanced over at his son and Sebastian. "Will you say something for yourself? Crescent?" He looked tired of having to scold his fifteen year old son.

Crescent pushed back his black locks, revealing his extremely bewildering pale blue eyes. Sebastian's used to match. He stared at his father frightened and slightly angered. "I'm sorry. But I didn't want to miss Bash on his way out." His voice matured in the last year. It got deeper, but not to the point where he lost his kid voice entirely.

"I wasn't leaving just yet." Sebastian gently shoved his nephew off his legs. "I wanted to talk you lot before I left." He shot Caereli a glance who had not taken her eyes of her father the second he stepped into the lighter part of the living space.

Sebastian sighed, heaving himself off the floor as Creedence glowered at his son. "There you have it. He's not leaving just yet. Now, get off the dirty floor." He demanded weakly.

Crescent followed orders quietly and brushed off his bright white pants making sure no dust stuck to the material.

"Dee, are you going somewhere? You're wearing your cloak." Sebastian pointed out, looking suspiciously at his brother, examining his body language.

Creedence adjusted his footing, leaning his light white onto his left leg and the cane. "Actually, yes. I wanted to ask you if I could come along for the meetings. I think it'd help our sisters and their lovers if their eldest brother was there and gave his opinion. Don't you agree?"

Sebastian raised an eyebrow. Creedence never showed interest in these kinds of affairs nor his siblings except the one he raised and that was Sebastian. Creedence never failed to surprise Sebastian.

"You want them to see you like that?" Caereli asked, not meanly, but concerned.

Sebastian made a huge effort not to snarl at his niece and Crescent shot her the meanest glare he could muster up.

Creedence shrugged nonchalantly, staring at his feet. "What I appear to be should be no one's concern but my own." His voice was still weak and heavily hoarse.

Caereli snarled, but said nothing else on the matter.

Sebastian stepped closer to his brother and cocked his head to the right. "I am all for you going, but what about your children? I mean you can't leave them for two days. Not by their selves.. Not since-"

"My wife died?" Creedence fixed Sebastian with a silencing expression. He shut up. "I wouldn't dare leave my rugrats alone. Our grandmother is coming to look after them, along with William. She's got their wellbeing covered. I swear." Creedence added, after seeing the hurt look in Sebastian's bright metallic silver eyes.

"Do we really need a babysitter?" Crescent popped up at Sebastian's shoulder. His nephew was just beginning to stand up to his shoulder. "I mean me and caereli are pretty responsible." He added, seeing Creedence's eyes narrow in annoyance.

Creedence opened his mouth to reply, but Sebastian intervened cautiously. "Julissa needs to be here for two reasons other than looking after you; William is getting old enough for socialization and to help run Cahya while your father and I are away. Besides, Julissa is better than Mila, right?"

"Julissa is definitely better than Mila." Crescent mumbled, heading to his little sister's side.

"She'll be here in a few minutes. Please behave and welcome your young uncle into our home. I don't want him to feel like he doesn't belong when does. Do you understand?" Creedence asked, his voice stronger this time.

Sebastian watched his brother slowly walk to the door. He slipped his feet in some slip on sneakers Sebastian had custom made for him since Creedence barely could lift his left leg after his fatal injury where his leg connected to his hip. He nearly lost all use of his leg.

His children mumbled yes's letting him know they would obey and agreed.

Sebastian glanced over at his niece and nephew. "See you soon Reli and Cres." He waved, heading for the door.

He opened the door and helped his brother into the dim lighted porch. He heard the siblings call out byes and good lucks.

Sebastian looked at his brother. "I'm actually glad you're gonna be with me this weekend. I miss you and the things we used to do together." A sadness rose in his voice. He felt as if Creedence died all over again. Sebastian never felt so at loss.

Creedence put a thin, bony pale hand on Sebastian's shoulder and squeezed with his weak strength. "Elona's death has bled me dry of life. I stayed for you and for my children. I would've given up a long time ago if it weren't for you and them." Creedence's voice broke at the end and Sebastian's heart broke once again.

"But eventually in time, I have to let go and so will you three." He added, briskly.

Sebastian didn't want to let go. "No-" He began but Creedence shushed him. "I love you and I will always be with you. Maybe not physically, but in here." Creedence lay a hand over Sebastian's racing heart. "That's a promise."

Sebastian blinked his tears away. "I love you so much and this breaks my heart. Please tell me this isn't soon?"

"When God calls me home, I will say my goodbyes first. May not be right now, or tomorrow, but one day it'll come and the time will be right."

Secretly, Sebastian knew Creedence wouldn't be alive for very much longer and join the ranks of Heaven. Nothing would prepare Sebastian or Creedence's children for that day, no matter what anyone did. "What if I'm not ready?"

Creedence kissed Sebastian's forehead gently and started down the steps towards the horses who stood in wait of their riders. "No one's ready when a beloved goes." Creedence ominously said.

Sebastian followed speechless. He couldn't say anything else as the words weighed on his shoulders. He sighed, untying the reigns of his gray mare before climbing on her saddled back. He chewed his lip as he commanded her to gallop towards the forest beyond. He didn't wait for his brother as he would always catch up on his white stallion.

Tears flowed down his cheeks as he got lost in his thoughts. The only bright thing to the devastating news, was the fact he had Ben to guide him out of depression and darkness if Sebastian falls into it's depths. Sebastian had hope flare in his chest and he halted his mare. He heard the loud hooves of his brother's stallion pounding behind him and glanced over his shoulder. He smiled, seeing Creedence fly past him, looking as valiant and great as he used to be.

"You still live, so we must make the best of our time together, brother." Sebastian whispered a promise, before commanding his mare to follow in pursuit.

Together, the brothers rode their final ride.
