New Nigeria is a good, clean, all-American town. The husbands are smiling and handsome, the wives are strong, rich, and powerful, and Nat Turner High is the best public school in the state. Yet, the citizens of this idyllic community find themselves in a rapidly changing country and, to be perfectly honest, some of them are a teeny bit uncomfortable with it all.

Walking down the aisle is only the beginning of your story. When spouses get bored, fail to communicate, or struggle to balance parenting and marriage, marriage can feel like an impossible challenge, and spouses think the only solution is to end their story. You are human, and having marital issues is far from uncommon. Rather than feeling like a failure or rushing straight toward divorce, step back and think about what you can do to make things better.

The list of reasons why Lexus Wren is the last girl any guy would be interested in is mercilessly long: Her dad’s in prison for murder, her mom drowns her sorrows every night at Dave’s Dive, and Lexus is just trying to survive the cruelties of high school as a painfully shy bookworm with a bad wardrobe and a collection of nervous habits. Never in a million years did Lexus expect to draw the eyes of two hunky transfer students, Phoenix and Griffin Easton.

Her dad's in prison for murder, her mom drowns her sorrows every night at Dave's Dive, and Lexus is just trying to survive the cruelties of high school as a painfully shy bookworm with a bad wardrobe, and a collection of nervous habits. Never, in a million years, did Lexus expect to draw the eyes of two hunky transfer students, Phoenix and Griffin Easton.

As if lousy parents, a plethora of social inhibitions, and a complicated love triangle weren't enough problems, Lexus Wren just discovered she's a powerful Catalyst, capable of commanding Conduits to do her bidding. Pretty heady stuff for a 15-year-old who can't control her own urge to bite her nails. When another Catalyst invites Lexus and her twin would-be boyfriends to leave behind their new family and enroll in a school for "gifted students" or risk permanent separation, Lexus is forced to make a choice, and she's never been very good at that, either.

After years of being an outcast, Lexus finally has a chance to reinvent herself at Magna Virtus Academy, a school for students with special powers. But she never dreamed she'd go from social reject to the star of the school. When Lexus develops a unique ability no one else has, half the students envy her, and the other half are fighting to be her new partner. Add in not one but two hunky boyfriends trying to share her affections, and Lexus is definitely in over her head.

You'd think after solving the mystery of eight missing Specials and reuniting her friends with their family, Lexus could finally settle into her new life as a Catalyst.

With no leads to follow, Lexus' boyfriends think the search is a lost cause, but Lexus isn't willing to give up yet. When the twins leave the academy to spend time with the parents they thought were dead, their frenemy, Jaxson, is all too happy to take their place.

Sophie lives in a most peculiar cottage at the center of the Forgotten Forest, its inside much larger than its outside. You see, the house must be large, for it holds a great troll as well as a little girl. As one might expect, working for such a creature is rather frightening to a seven-year-old, but the endless expanse of black trees outside is even scarier. She’s afraid to make even the slightest sound, for the troll abhors loud children. He’s not terribly fond of quiet children either - unless they’re in his stew. Sophie’s precious light offers comfort in her darkest moments.

And in this seemingly unsolvable case, only one thing is certain: Heather finds herself in a dire situation with time running out...
