Ruby non può permettersi di guardare indietro. Il quartier generale della Lega dei Bambini è stato raso al suolo. E ora lei e i giovani sopravvissuti all'attacco del governo a Los Angeles stanno viaggiando verso nord per riunirsi. Insieme a loro, c'è anche un pericoloso prigioniero, con le stesse incredibili abilità di Ruby. Per questo solo lei può tenerlo sotto controllo: un solo errore e si scatenerebbe il caos. È una sfida difficile da vincere ma, seppur distrutta da una perdita insopportabile, Ruby sa di non poter mollare adesso. Non quando è così vicina al suo obiettivo: far cadere il governo e liberare le migliaia di ragazzi che ancora soffrono nei campi di riabilitazione governativi sparsi per il Paese. Non tutti però sono dalla sua parte e le tensioni non si faranno attendere. La resa dei conti è vicina, e allora anche i segreti più oscuri verranno a galla, e i sentimenti più forti saranno messi alla prova.

Quando Ruby si sveglia il giorno del suo decimo compleanno, qualcosa in lei è cambiato. Qualcosa di abbastanza preoccupante da costringere i genitori a mandarla a Thurmond, un brutale campo di riabilitazione gestito dal governo dove sono rinchiusi i giovani come lei. Ovvero, i giovani che sono riusciti a sopravvivere alla misteriosa malattia che ha decimato la popolazione e che da allora sembrano aver acquisito poteri speciali. Ci sono i Verdi, dotati di un'intelligenza eccezionale; i Blu, di telecinesi; i Gialli, che controllano l'elettricità; i Rossi il fuoco e gli Arancioni, come Ruby, la mente umana. Ora Ruby ha sedici anni ed è riuscita a scappare da quell'inferno, ma per lei l'incubo non è ancora finito. Durante la sua fuga, però, incontra un gruppo di ragazzini evasi come lei: Zu, Ciccio e Liam, carisma da leader e decisamente carino. Ma Ruby non può rischiare di avvicinarsi a lui. Sarebbe troppo pericoloso. E, in viaggio verso l'unico rifugio sicuro, ci sono già fin troppi pericoli da affrontare...

Sono passati cinque anni, i campi di riabilitazione governativi sono ormai un ricordo, ma la battaglia è tutt'altro che finita. Suzume «Zu» Kimura è diventata la portavoce del nuovo governo e ogni giorno combatte per i diritti dei bambini Psi, un tempo perseguitati per i loro poteri. Sebbene non siano più imprigionati, infatti, i pregiudizi, la diffidenza e la disinformazione nei loro confronti sono ancora una piaga difficile da arginare. Quando Zu viene accusata dallo stesso governo di un atto orribile, è costretta a fuggire di nuovo. Determinata a dimostrare la sua innocenza e ad arrivare alla verità, Zu si imbarca allora in un viaggio pieno di insidie, nel corso del quale dovrà stringere pericolose alleanze e guardarsi dai nemici, nascosti ovunque. Capire di chi fidarsi è impossibile. Ma con il suo futuro e quello di tutti gli Psi a repentaglio, Zu è disposta a correre qualsiasi rischio per salvare se stessa e gli amici che un tempo l'hanno protetta. E che ora hanno bisogno di lei.

Passeggera a sorpresa su una nave nel bel mezzo dell’oceano, e disposta a tutto per ritornare al proprio tempo, Etta inizia una straordinaria avventura attraverso secoli e continenti, in compagnia di Nicholas, il capitano della nave. Ma i suoi tentativi per trovare la strada di casa non fanno che trascinarla sempre più a fondo. Per sopravvivere dovrà imparare a navigare tra spazio, tempo, tradimento e amore.

Three hundred years ago, fate bound Prosper Redding and Prince Alastor of the Third Realm together. Now the human boy and fiend heir to the demon kingdom must put aside a centuries-old blood feud to save everything they love. Alastor will guide Prosper through the demon realm-under one huge condition: Prosper must enter into a contract with the malefactor residing in him, promising eternal servitude in the afterlife. With Prosper's sister in the clutches of the evil queen Pyra, Prosper has no choice but to agree. But when they arrive in Alastor's deliciously demonic home, the realm is almost as alien to Alastor as it is to Prosper-the lowest fiends have dethroned the ruling malefactors, while an unfathomable force called the Void is swiftly consuming the realm. The desperate fiends cling to the one person who says she can stop it: Pyra. As Prosper embarks on a perilous rescue mission to the Tower of No Return, he can't help but feel for the demons losing their home-even Alastor, who lives by a set of rules that have vanished in a new world. With the fates of humans and demons at odds, the battle lines are drawn. Long ago, Prosper's ancestor Honor Redding proved that humans and demons could never be friends. But is Prosper like his ancestor? And is Alastor the same demon who was betrayed by the one human he cared for?

So, when he discovers that an 800-year-old demon called Alastor is responsible for their luck - and that this demon is currently living inside him - he's more than a little surprised. Alastor isn't keen to be banished back to the demon realm and will do anything to try and trick his unwilling host into a contract - from nasty insults to wild promises. And even more unnerving, his power over Prosper seems to be growing with each passing night. Prosper has only days to break the curse - a feat that seems impossible. But with the help of a feisty witch-in-training, maybe he can do it?
