Book Description
So Gourry and I agreed to escort Sylphiel to her family in Saillune City, but she didn't tell me her uncle was hiding the most wanted man in town--P-P-Prince Phil. (Ugh! Blech!) We thus get drawn in to some noble family drama that, you guessed it, blows up royally. Good thing Princess Amelia is every bit as plucky as she is powerful! Wait, she's traveling with us now? Turns out we might need the help! We're just minding our own merry business one minute, and the next, some lady shows up and seals my magic! You'll never guess this one, because we'll be dealing with a cult, some possessed armor, a magical beast, and one mysterious priest before we get to the bottom of things ourselves. Then we receive an invitation from our old pal Zuma the assassin, who wants me to come to Vezendi. I'm guessing he's not interested in catching up over tea, huh? As if that wasn't enough, there's also skullduggery afoot between Xellos and some other shadowy figures. What gives? I mean, I know I'm good, but I swear! These demons just can't get enough of me!

Book Description
Dragons exist. They're ferocious. And they're smart: Before they were killed off by slayer-knights, they rendered a select group of eggs dormant, so their offspring would survive. Only a handful of people know about this, let alone believe it – these "Slayers" are descended from the original knights, and are now a diverse group of teens that includes Tori, a smart but spoiled senator's daughter who didn't sign up to save the world. The dragon eggs have fallen into the wrong hands. The Slayers must work together to stop the eggs from hatching. They will fight; they will fall in love. But will they survive?

Book Description
“Will get Buffy fans up in their feels.” —Entertainment Weekly A New York Times and Publishers Weekly bestseller From bestselling author Kiersten White comes the first novel in a series set in the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer that introduces a new Slayer as she grapples with the responsibility of managing her incredible powers that she’s just beginning to understand. Into every generation a Slayer is born… Nina and her twin sister, Artemis, are far from normal. It’s hard to be when you grow up at the Watcher’s Academy, which is a bit different from your average boarding school. Here teens are trained as guides for Slayers—girls gifted with supernatural strength to fight the forces of darkness. But while Nina’s mother is a prominent member of the Watcher’s Council, Nina has never embraced the violent Watcher lifestyle. Instead she follows her instincts to heal, carving out a place for herself as the school medic. Until the day Nina’s life changes forever. Thanks to Buffy, the famous (and infamous) Slayer that Nina’s father died protecting, Nina is not only the newest Chosen One—she’s the last Slayer, ever. Period. As Nina hones her skills with her Watcher-in-training, Leo, there’s plenty to keep her occupied: a monster fighting ring, a demon who eats happiness, a shadowy figure that keeps popping up in Nina’s dreams… But it’s not until bodies start turning up that Nina’s new powers will truly be tested—because someone she loves might be next. One thing is clear: Being Chosen is easy. Making choices is hard.
