Tala Warnock has little use for magic – a descendant of Maria Makiling, she negates spells, often by accident. But her family’s ties to Avalon soon finds them guarding its last prince from those who would use his kingdom’s magic for insidious ends. And with the rise of dangerous spelltech in the Royal States of America, the re-emergence of the Snow Queen – and the appearance of the firebird, Avalon’s most powerful weapon, at her doorstep – Tala’s life is about to get even more complicated….

Twin goddesses Haidee and Odessa know three things: that their home, Aeon, has always been split into night and day; that monsters spawn from the Breaking, the great cataclysm that tore their world asunder; and that the other is dead.
