A new girl comes to the school and it's not too long before the fabled tree of Thicket Hall is turning against Sophie and her friends and no longer trusts them. Someone new has stepped up, but who? Something's not right and Sophie and her friends are going to have to figure out what's going on or it just might be the end of the school and the old oak tree—permanently. Is the new girl behind this? Is she the new Marcus? Can Sophie figure out what's going on and get her friends to work together to stop it in time?

A monster that doesn't exist in any mythology or any of their ancient lore has suddenly appeared. A creature so monstrous, they have no idea how to fight it. The beast can even take on the form of anyone they know and love. Well, that's just wrong. There's more trouble on the horizon. Has the Order of Skrár been an Order of blood humans this whole time? Were they recording all the history of magicals and monsters without a single elemental catching on that they couldn't be trusted?

Norah tries to get to the set to locate Frondle but is barred at the gate and given an unceremonious exit. Someone doesn't want her getting too close. Good thing she's not the only one trying. You knew our favorite witch had more than one plan. Will Cleo get in and get the answers? Is there something sinister going on with the movie? Norah needs to prepare for whatever is coming their way from this film. It hasn't gone unnoticed that even the magical community is going onset and coming out brainwashed.

A battle is won but the challenges for Winland Underwood and the residents of East Calico Rock have just begun. Can the old Fixer's daughter keep the hidden magicals safe? It's not easy relocating to a ghost town in Arkansas. It's even harder when the city sits on top of a forgotten underground lair. But even that can be handled as long as the town remains a secret. A magical gem is discovered by the teens that can give them everything they desire. That can't be a bad thing, right? For a city that's trying to stay hidden, it can be.

Norah Wintry is juggling movie stars with special skills, like shifting into tiger mode, at her Los Angeles talent agency with sinister backlot treachery. Projects in the Hollywood pipeline aren't what they seem, and Norah wants to protect her very special clients. That's not easy when she can't give a good reason to prevent them from signing on to the very lucrative job.

The truth behind the creation of the mother of all monsters has to come out at some point. It always does. The only question is whether or not you survive it. Halsey Ambrosius just didn't think it would be revealed to the other elemental clans before she could tell Brigham. She might be the Alpha Hunter, but she has no idea what that means, other than fighting crazy powerful monsters that are new on the scene.

Everything is changing. It's the last semester of junior year for the Elemental, Sophie Briggs and her friends at The School of Roots and Vines. But will it be for better or worse? Classes take a priority for the teenagers but work and figuring out how to be a Defender is a close second. Both Marcus and Sophie's mysterious new tutor at the EBI have secrets to hide. Will Sophie harness a new curiosity in pursuit of the truth about them both?

All families have their secrets. The Ambrosius Clan has more than most and they're keeping information from people in their own family. Halsey and Brigham have just about had enough. So has Greta. We're only as sick as our secrets. It's time for some truths to be revealed, no matter who doesn't want the cousins to find out what's really happening. Will they be able to put all the pieces together and figure out what role the Order of Skrár is playing in all of it?

Halsey and Brigham Ambrosius' task in the English countryside isn't quite over. The barghest may have been slain, but they have one task remaining. Figure out what happened to the people in the abandoned village of Coningsby. Frankly, the mission isn't over until they clean up the barghest's mess because we all know, Halsey always completes her missions. It's a good thing the copper orb can help heal the locals from what was a deadly monster poison. But how to do it covertly without letting civilians know who or what Haley is? What else can the orb do?

Things are finally looking up for Winland Underwood. East Calico Rock is safe, Erickson and his thugs are behind bars, and Hector Fang is turning out to be exactly what she needed. For the first time in her life, all her training with the Old Fixer may not apply. Until it does . . .

The rules for monster hunting are changing fast and that's not the only thing that's different. The Ambrosius Clan militia are taking on paying clients. What happened to taking down monsters for the sake of humanity? Halsey and Brigham aren't sure, but that isn't going to stop them from taking on this mission and heading to the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, Turkey.

Sophie Briggs will have to fight her way out this time but without her elemental gift of life. It's the spring semester of Year Two at the famous School of Roots and Vines. The National Elemental Skills Trials are coming up, and Sophie and her friends are called to represent the school in faraway Colorado. Dark forces and powerful, all-too-familiar enemies are out to kidnap Sophie and steal her elemental powers. They'll stop at nothing to get their revenge.

Winland Underwood wasn't gone long from East Calico Rock, but a lot has changed. The least of which is the citizens were able to capture the Silver Griffin traitor, Erickson, without her. But more refugees keep arriving, and the town is expanding. Erickson wasn't the only threat to everyone's safety. Can the young witch leave them alone while she searches for her mother? Or will a hidden menace move in while she's gone?

It's time Halsey and Brigham to travel back to where the changes all began—the Cliffs of Moher, Ireland. At the very least, the monster hunters should be able to find out what happened to the stolen silver coffin if they follow the clues in person, right? If you have to get something done, sometimes you have to do it all yourself. Even if that means operating outside your Council's orders without permission. The Ambrosius cousins seem to hit one dead end after another. But when one magical door shuts, another always opens.

In Hollywood it's not about what you know, but who you know. Norah Wintry is finding that out. You try running a talent agency full of wizards and shifters. Oh my. Who she knows is starting to pay off when she goes looking for answers about who, or what, is trying to sabotage her clients. But LaLa Land operates on a pecking order. Will anyone tell her what she wants to know, or will they run her in circles? One thing is for sure. No one wants to reveal who UrbanWurm is or where he is. Too risky. And it's more than a juicy role that's on the line.

Winland Underwood may have met her match. Is Fang a friend or foe? Even his arctic fox is more than she seems, and Winland's getting mixed signals. From everywhere. Now she's one step closer to tracking down the warrior witch, and the good-looking Wizard at her side is only too eager to help. But can the young Light Elf sense the danger creeping toward the wards around her town—from three states away?

Winland Underwood is trying to hide in plain sight. Not easy for a witch with a storied past. The wards and the crystal are back up and running. The residents of East Calico Rock are protected, and the town is safe once again. What does that mean for Winland Underwood? Next on the to-do list is to look for the Custodian, Hector Fang. And if she finds him, ask about her long-dead mother. Like, is she really dead? What else does he know about the magical history of the town?

Things are heating up in LaLa Land. Nothing makes tongues wag faster than rumors of a cursed movie set. These aren't special effects. Someone or something magical is at play. The attacks on suppliers of Pink Fairy continue. Norah needs to track down who's responsible and put an end to the problems for good. Domenico is safely hidden away deep below the surface of the Ocean, but Norah can't shake the feeling that something is wrong. She needs to get information about what's going on and the best way to get information about Domenico is to ask a bunch of criminals. That's easier said than done.

In East Calico Rock, there's always one more emergency to be handled by Winland Underwood. Unfortunately, this time the emergency is her mother. Just when Winland thought her mom was starting to settle into life in the refugee town, danger strikes once again. This time, Winland and the crimson heart are strong enough together to deal with it themselves. But are the consequences of Winland's new power too much for Leeland to handle?

Sophie Briggs has made it to her junior year at the School of Roots and Vines, but it isn't all fun and games for the Defenders. Change is coming. Some good and some . . . not so much. Friends are breaking up—will Sophie have to take sides? Sophie and Marcus are struggling, too. Marcus is pushing Sophie and the rest of the gang away, worried that being a Templeton will put them all at risk. He thinks he needs to do this by himself. Does he have to go it alone?
