Synopsis: Augustus Tomlin was found floating in the waters of the Florida Keys as an infant after a mysterious undersea explosion. Not long after turning sixteen, following an attack by creatures right out of a nightmare near his adoptive parents' seaside cabin, he is pulled away from the only family he has ever known back into the one thing that scares him the most – the ocean.

Augie reluctantly follows his new friend Mira and her drac to the centuries old underwater city of Grim's Peak where he must overcome his overwhelming phobia of water and adapt to his new surroundings quickly because it is clear that someone is hell bent on trying to kill him. The only clue he has to his origins is the small medallion he was wearing on the night he was found.

Augie's quest for the truth about who he is and what happened to his parents leads him and his friends to secret underground caverns, a dead undersea lake called the Hel-mir, and to several encounters with a dangerous species of half-human/half-fish hybrids called Mers who will seemingly stop at nothing to reclaim the territory now occupied by Grim's Peak that they say was stolen from them by the town's founders almost a thousand years ago. It isn't long before Augie discovers he is part of a centuries old mystery that began with a single lie - a lie so powerful that were it to ever be exposed it would bring everything crashing down around him including the amazing new world he has been introduced to.

Time is running out, and to uncover the truth Augie must face earth shattering revelations about his past, survive against incredible odds, and discover the identity of the traitor in his midst who has been living right under his nose all along.

Book description
Mixing the paranormal, romance, mystery and action, Soren: The Angel & The Prize Fighter tells the tale of female friendship and first loves, of an unbreakable bond between mother and daughter, and how some destinies are just too big and terrifying to accept.

When some of her friends start acting weird, and a mystifying new boy turns up outside the school gates, Beau is told a life changing secret: that not only are her friends angels, but she is going to become an angel too.

Synopsis: For one boy and his friends, the path to Paradise comes at a cost—one they may not be prepared to pay.

When a biking accident leaves 17-year-old Joss Kazdan with the ability to hear things others can't, reality as he knows it begins to unravel.

A world of legends exists beyond the ordinary life he's always known, and he is transported to the same Paradise he's studying in World Mythology. But the strange gets even stranger when his new friends build a device that delivers people through the gates of the Garden of Eden.

Now Samael, the Creator God, is furious. As Samael rains down his apocalyptic devastation on the ecstasy-seeking teens, Joss and his companions must find a way to appease Samael—or the world will be destroyed forever.

Synopsis: For all readers who have ever lent an enthusiastic ear to a wonderfully well told tale, or tumbled gladly into pages that could transport them anywhere, now comes novelist Peter David’s enchanting new work of fantasy. Action-packed and suspenseful, heart-tugging and wise, it weaves a spell both hauntingly familiar and utterly irresistible for those who have ever surrendered themselves to flights of fancy, and have whispered in their hearts, “I believe.”

Paul Dear is a good and clever boy, doted on by a father who fills his son’s head with tall tales, thrilling legends, and talk of fairy-folk, and by a mother who indulges these fantastic stories and tempers them with common sense. But Paul is special in ways that even his adoring parents could never have imagined. For by day, in London’s Kensington Gardens, he walks and talks with the pixies and sprites and other magical creatures that dwell among the living–but are unseen by most. And at night in his room, a boy much like himself, yet not, beckons to Paul from the mirror to come adventuring. It’s a happy life for Paul, made all the more so by the birth of his baby sister.

But everything changes when tragedy strikes, and Paul concludes that there’s only one course of action he can take to dispel the darkness and make things right again. And like countless heroes before him, he knows that he must risk everything to save the day.

Thus begins a quest that will lead Paul down the city’s bustling streets, to a curio shop where a magical ally awaits him, and launches him into the starry skies, bound for a realm where anything is possible. Far from home, he will run with fierce Indian warriors, cross swords with fearsome pirates, befriend a magnificent white tiger, and soar beside an extraordinary, ageless boy who reigns in a boundless world of imagination.

Brimming with the sly humor and breathless excitement of a traditional Victorian bedtime story, deftly embroidered with its own unique wisdom and wonder, Tigerheart is a hymn to childhood’s happiness and heartbreak, a meditation on the love, courage, sacrifice, and faith that shape us and define our lives, and a splendidly rendered modern fable–for readers of any age–that brilliantly proves itself a worthy brother to the timeless classic that serve as its inspiration.
