Fifteen-year-old Izzy Brannick was trained to fight monsters. For centuries, her family has hunted magical creatures. But when Izzy's older sister vanishes without a trace while on a job, Izzy's mom decides they need to take a break.

Harper Price, peerless Southern belle, was born ready for a Homecoming tiara. But after a strange run-in at the dance imbues her with incredible abilities, Harper's destiny takes a turn for the seriously weird. She becomes a Paladin, one of an ancient line of guardians with agility, super strength and lethal fighting instincts.

Life is almost back to normal for Harper Price. The Ephors have been silent after their deadly attack at Cotillion months ago, and best friend Bee has returned after a mysterious disappearance. Now Harper can return her focus to the important things in life: school, canoodling with David, her nemesis-turned-ward-slash-boyfie, and even competing in the Miss Pine Grove pageant. Unfortunately, supernatural chores are never done. The Ephors have decided they'd rather train David than kill him.

Sophie Mercer thought she was a witch, which was why she was sent to Hex Hall, a reform school for delinquent Prodigium (a.k.a. witches, shapeshifters, and fairies). But that was before she discovered she was a demon, and her hot crush, Archer Cross, was an agent for The Eye, a group bent on wiping her kind off the face of the earth.

Just as Sophie Mercer has come to accept her extraordinary magical powers as a demon, the Prodigium Council strips them away. Now Sophie is defenseless, alone, and at the mercy of her sworn enemies - the Brannicks, a family of warrior women who hunt down the Prodigium. Or at least that's what Sophie thinks, until she makes a surprising discovery. The Brannicks know an epic war is coming, and they believe Sophie is the only one powerful enough to stop the world from ending.

Just as Harper Price starts coming to terms with her role as David Stark's battle-ready Paladin, protector, and girlfriend, her world goes crazy all over again. Overwhelmed by his Oracle powers, David flees Pine Grove and starts turning teenage girls into Paladins, and these young ladies seem to think that Harper is the enemy David needs protecting from. Ordinarily Harper would be able to fight off any Paladin who comes her way, but her powers have been dwindling since David left town.

The town of Journey's End may not literally be at the end of the world, but it sure feels like it to Nolie Stanhope. Spending the summer with her scientist father in the tiny Scottish village isn't exactly Nolie's idea of a good time, but she soon finds a friend: Native Journey's Ender Bel McKissick. While Nolie's father came to Journey's End to study the Boundary - a mysterious fog bank offshore - Bel's family can't afford to consider it a threat.

Eine paradiesische Insel mitten im Pazifik: Lux begleitet ihren Freund Nico. Er segelt zwei Freundinnen nach Meroe Island, die auf einer Weltreise sind. Dort angekommen treffen sie auf das wohlhabende Paar Jake und Eliza, die bereits vor der Insel ankern. Die sechs freunden sich an und genießen mehrere Tage fernab der Zivilisation. Als Robbie, ein weiterer Segler, auftaucht, kippt die Stimmung. Er raubt die Boote aus, zerstört die Funkgeräte und verschwindet. Zwischen Lux und Nico gibt es zunehmend Spannungen, die Gruppe driftet immer weiter auseinander.

Bellissima, selvaggia, inquietante: è Meroe, isola al largo delle Hawaii del tutto disabitata, poco più di un sasso lanciato nel mezzo del Pacifico, con una storia misteriosa di naufragi e scomparse. La destinazione perfetta per chi vuole un po' di avventura e qualche brivido. O per chi vuole scappare da qualcosa. E scappare è esattamente quello che Lux fa da una vita: scappare dal passato, da una famiglia che l'ha delusa troppo presto, da una versione di se stessa che non le è mai piaciuta.
