Book Description
Veronica crash landed on earth all alone with her new found powers. She does a lot of self-reflecting and then goes on her journey to find Celsta. Jessica is guiding Celsta and planning her wedding with Stephen. An intensely dramatic love triangle ensues where Veronica and Jessica fight for Stephen’s love since he is dying soon from the virus. Everyone is concerned because of Veronica’s powers and the desperate desire the Pope has for finding her. This could be a danger to Celsta. Ally and Luis, who are the contacts from Australia trying to keep everyone around the world alive, are not to be fully trusted. It is also believed that Ally is another prescient character with superpowers. The love triangle escalates to people getting physically harmed and dissension dividing the town into factions. After Veronica wins over Stephen’s heart once again, Sheva and Shaddrach convince Jessica to calm down. Karishma and Reve (who is one of the leaders of Celsta) begin making biological weapons using spider venom. When Celsta is attacked, they learn that their contacts from Australia could be working with the evil pope. They assemble together, hoping to use Veronica’s powers over the elements and Karishma’s bioweapons to make a last stand against the Shermanites. They take out an Aargon ship using arrows with the spider venom and use the ship to their advantage to fight against the villains. In an all out brawl of vengeance and violence, Veronica finds a way to trigger her powers and save the town by doing incredible things that are never before seen in any sci-fi or fantasy adventure novel or movie to this day. Unfortunately there is nothing that she can do about Stephen’s mortal condition. Stephen is dying slowly with no cure.

Book Description
Slowly the long line of robed figures made their way toward the end of the huge antechamber that featured the ornately patterned high arching doorway carefully positioned at the rear of the cobblestoned pathway, offering only one way to approach its uniquely stylized threshold. Each figure stood silently awaiting their turn. Each harboring their own thoughts of grandeur. Yes, for each had spent centuries in constant study. Blood, sweat, and tears expended often, and freely, in their ever-pressing efforts to learn what it meant to be counted amongst the chosen. Years spent learning through trial and error the arts that would ultimately prove them worthy of the trust that came along with such daunting responsibility. The prestige allotted to those who sought to become a member of The Order of Truth. Priscilla Whitestone stood ready to embrace the challenge. Ready, for she knew that she was destined for greatness. She and Benjamin Arcanus Trueth were the best of their class. The strongest ever. They were rivals. They had also been lovers once. Lovers whose mutual arrogance would not allow such an emotion as benign as love to take root in their callous hearts. No, for their one true love was power. Power that could only be had as a result of their mastering the sacred arts detailed within the Tome of Shades. Then and only then could what they both desired most be fully realized. They both would have the chance to show their mastery today. Today, all would be revealed for everyone to see. Yes, for today, all the robed figures assembled here would take part in the Ritual of Binding. That most sacred of rituals that would forever bind them to the land of Samarq. Today they would either become one of its guardians, or they would perish. Measures had been set in place to see to that. To each side of the robed acolytes was another group present. Those whose job it would be to ensure that none of the assembled peoples turned back. Not all those present were human. Still, the law was the same for everyone. Everyone must proceed. Yes, for the point of no return had been reached. None of them could turn away from this. To do so now meant certain death one way or another, or worse: madness. Even if one were to survive in that debilitated state, such one could not be allowed to live. That was the law. The throng of hard-eyed observers was here to enforce it. They would not allow any of them who had not completed their trial to live. Unless they were to exit through the door to the left. The door with the drawing of the all-seeing eye encased within the swirling crystal ball upon it. It was well known amongst them all that once one had learned the lore necessary to become an Acolyte of Truth, that one was forever marked. Marked for either greatness or marked for death. There could not be any in-betweens. She knew this for a certainty, for two of their number had fallen already.

If you had the power to do practically anything, would it be enough to outrun your destiny? Shar is just a regular twenty-five-year-old guy still trying to figure out life. With an unreturned crush on a childhood friend, a simple banking job, and a set-in-stone daily routine, his life is simple and predictable-that is, until a car crash and a lightning strike lead him to discover that our world is not the only one out there, that there are other races besides just humans, and that magic is very real, sometimes with horrifying consequences. With the discovery that the lightning has awakened something equally beautiful and deadly within him, he finds himself at Brenerra, an academy built to teach mages of all ages how to control their magic without destroying themselves. What the mages choose to do after their training, though, whether they decide to use it impartially or for good or evil, is entirely up to them. As dark plots unfold and hidden enemies make their move, Shar quickly discovers that nothing is as it seems, that even his own powers and memories cannot be trusted.

Book Description
In his magnificent new novel, Charles McCarry returns to the world of his legendary character, Paul Christopher, the crack intelligence agent who is as skilled at choosing a fine wine as he is at tradecraft, at once elegant and dangerous, sophisticated and rough-and-ready. As the novel begins, Paul Christopher, now an aging but remarkably fit 70ish, is dining at home with his cousin Horace, also an ex-agent. Dinner is delicious and uneventful. A day later, Paul has vanished. The months pass, Paulís ashes are delivered by a Chinese official to the American consulate in Beijing and a memorial service is held in Washington. But Horace is not convinced that Paul is dead and, enlisting the support of six other retired colleagues—a sort of all-star backfield of the old Outfit—Horace gets the "Old Boys" back in the game to find Paul Christopher. They start with a photo found in Paulís study: a womanís hand holding a centuriesí old scroll, once in the possession of the Nazis and now sought by the U.S. government and Muslim extremists alike. Harassed by American intelligence, hunted by terrorists, Horace Christopher and the Old Boys travel the globe, from Xinjiang to Brazil, from Rome to Tel Aviv, Budapest to Moscow, in search of Paul and the unspeakably dangerous truth.

Book Description
After the epic battle with the Shermanites at the end of the previous novel, the Pope Sherman is after them. They have to head out of the country and make it to Australia which is the only safe place. Their first stop is in Britain where they hold a funeral and collect survivors with no memories. Then they head to Spain and collect more survivors and have to face storms made of ash and soot. They soon head to Peru where they meet Shaddrach’s former lover, Michal. She will be the new villain with her secret power of subtle mind-control. They adventure to Africa where they get trapped fighting Bleeders. Dangerous creatures that bleed a cement-like substance and melt in sunlight. After surviving all of this, Veronica is betrayed by Michal, and she ditches them to stay in Korea in a giant castle where she has to overcome impossible obstacles, tests and mazes by using her knowledge of religious history and getting inside of the Pope’s head to uncover clues, which lead her to magical gems that she can use to enhance her powers or help the others. Meanwhile, the rest of the characters settle down in Australia, assuming political roles over this last makeshift excuse for a civilization. The Pope threatens to make his way to Australia to capture Veronica and use her powers to get stronger. Everyone must join together for this epic battle, and their only hope is that they are all left in the dark about the tasks of their friends. The only way this plan works is if everyone is given their assignments in secret whilst being ignorant of the other people’s assignments and missions. If one fails, they all fail and that means Sherman will win.
