TERESA DEL BOSQUE is a genius aerofighter pilot. Unfortunately, her career is on the verge of being stamped out of existence by the desires of her proud, overbearing family. She is, however, given the opportunity for one last adventure when a haughty young girl seeks her help in finding her missing father. Over the course of this quest, Teresa not only learns that there is more to herself than aeroplanes and dogfights, but also that her family isn't as exemplary or morally correct as it seems.

An island of sorceresses. A living ghost. An epic that spans generations. Fifteen-year-old Cordelia Parades and her friends find new wonders and horrors in the tale of one of the Seerish world's greatest families. The saga continues in the sprawling fourth chapter of A SEASON OF CLOCKS.

A house full of ghosts. A well full of bones. An assassin full of tales. Fifteen-year-old Cordelia Parades starts to realize the frightening, fantastic potential of her true power in the gripping third chapter of the SEASON OF CLOCKS saga.

A vengeful sister. An unexpected visitor. An orphanage without children. Persie Van Houten reigns as Shadowkeeper of Blackgale Forest; all beings and beasts within are subject to her whim. For an entire year, she lords over the ancient trees, punishing any and all who challenge her authority. Her best friend, fifteen-year-old Cordelia Paredes, who had, a year previous, risked her life to ensure Persie's safety, has decided to hang up her adventuring boots. Her mission is accomplished; there is no more need for danger. She spends her days relaxing, reading books, traveling, and relaxing some more. Things are wonderful. Things couldn't be better. And then, unfortunately for her, her leisurely routine is suddenly and violently interrupted when an earth-shattering event reduces Blackgale Forest to a war zone. Cordelia cannot, of course, sit idly by while Persie's life becomes fraught with danger. Once again, she finds herself dashing to the rescue, but her gung-ho attitude is soon tempered when she discovers that the source of Persie's woes is capable of an evil far greater than anything she could have ever imagined....

An idyllic town. A mysterious forest. A sinister pact. Deep in the heart of greenest Pennsylvania lies the town of Blackgale. It is a place of great wealth, rustic charm and natural beauty, as well as diligent, hardworking citizens. Bright, inventive girls are especially prized, and are molded into brilliant young women at the world-renowned Blackgale School for Girls. One day, fourteen-year-old Cordelia Parades's best friend Persie just ... vanishes. Poof. Gone. No warning whatsoever. And if that isn't bad enough, all of Blackgale's residents - from teachers, to local officials, to Persie's own parents - are oddly unconcerned. Consequently, Cordelia must take it upon herself to find Persie, digging not only into Blackgale's mysteries, but into the personal stories of the little town's most mysterious residents. As more secrets are uncovered, formerly affable friends and neighbors start to turn hostile, and, in some cases, even murderous. Will Cordelia be able to discover what happened to Persie, or will her efforts lead to nothing more than a premature demise?
