An impossible choice. A warning they can't ignore. One shot at fixing fate.Kaedrich Mannly always wanted to be a hero, and now that's certainly happened. So the question is, what comes next? According to Praxis Fellows, the answer is obvious: get back to work. With a shift in Praxis's approach to tackling the puzzle of Orange Rail Lines' engine designs, and with Kaedrich's steady help, things have been going better than ever and the two of them have settled into a comfortable routine.But all of that changes when a woman appears, a woman who claims to be Praxis herself from twenty-two years in the future. Bringing a tale of tragedy and doom, she swears that the only way to prevent disaster is to kill the man that will ultimately be responsible for all of their suffering. It is, of course, unthinkable-but how do you argue with yourself? And how do you say no, if it means saving the person that you love?

A city of turmoil. A string of disappearances. The deciding move of a perilous game.It's springtime in Monfort, and unrest is stirring everywhere. Shops are closing, trust in the Crown is faltering, and support for Pon Lanali's anti-magic rhetoric is growing by the day. But for Kaedrich Mannly, it's all background noise: between classes at the academy of arms, work, independent studies, and a new batch of friends, there's little time for such concerns-or, mercifully, for thoughts of Praxis Fellows to creep back in. The last thing that Kaedrich needs is an extra complication.So of course it's now, with the Academy Trials coming up, that Praxis appears unexpectedly. Alongside her comes news of mysterious disappearances sweeping the city, and soon the two of them are once again caught up in a tangle of secrets and danger. It has to be Lanali's doing, but can they prove that before it's too late? And more importantly, will it ever be the right time for the truth of Kaedrich's feelings to come out?

Some people are born to greatness, others have greatness thrust upon them... and some are just drawn like that.As the creator of a popular new comics franchise, Jane Maxwell knows a thing or two about heroes, but has no illusions of being one herself. All of that is shattered, however, when she finds herself swept into a parallel world-one where her characters are real, and her parallel self is their leader.There's just one problem: that Jane is missing.Under the growing danger of a deadly new villain named UltraViolet, the team has no choice but to ask Jane to do the impossible: step into the suit left behind by her double, become the hero that they need her to be. But with budding powers that threaten to overwhelm her, a family she only half-recognizes, and the parallel version of her dead wife staring her in the face, navigating her alternate life proves harder than she ever imagined...

A woman banned from using magic. An errand boy with a secret past. A journey to the heart of death itself.For Praxis Fellows, greatness has always been a given. But life doesn't always go according to plan, and now she finds herself half a world away from where she started. Banned from using magic, employed by the son of a railroad baron to realize a dead man's dreams, Praxis's life has become a sort of living death.Kaedrich Mannly has never done anything of consequence. As the newest member of the household staff of Brindlewood Hall, his role is simple: stay out of sight and do as he's told. It's a far cry from the dreams of his childhood, when he and his twin would rule their imaginary kingdom in the forest, but even if he was brave enough to take on the hero's role these days, there's too much at stake for him to risk stepping out of his narrow comfort zone.When a mysterious beast attacks the local village, both Praxis and Kaedrich end up with more than they bargained for. Soon they find themselves bound together on a quest to discover the source of a growing breach between the land of the living and the dead, on a journey that will take them far beyond the walls of their quiet lives-if they have the nerve to see it through. Because as they both soon realize, saving the world isn't quite the fate that they'd dreamed it would be.

An uncertain haven. A tangled inheritance. A dark power awakens.The last thing that Praxis Fellows expected was to ever return to her family's home, but when Pon Lanali seizes control of Durland and danger looms behind every corner, there is no other choice. While Yandosia may not be Praxis's favorite place, only the Fellows can provide a safe haven for her and Kaedrich Mannly.Except that things at home aren't quite what Praxis planned on. With the fate of the family company hanging in the balance, rivalries and betrayals become common ground-and now something darker is lurking, unburied from the deepest depths of the mine. How long can Praxis and Kaedrich resist being drawn into the quagmire of family politics? And just how much damage is Lanali doing to Kaedrich's own home up north while the two of them are stuck under the ice?

No one ever said coming back to life would be easy.Clair Maxwell didn't ask to be resurrected, or to inherit the mind, body, and superpowers of her parallel self, but she's done her best to live with it. Even if it means carrying around memories that aren't hers, even if it means living on a world not quite her own, even if it means learning how to be a reluctant superhero. She has her childhood sweetheart-turned-wife back, and a second chance at living. She has no intention of wasting it.But just as she's walking down the aisle again, setting things back the way they should be, her world is up-ended once more. An attack on her life throws everything into chaos. Surrounded by old foes and new secrets, suddenly everything Clair thought she knew about her past is in question. And now she's forced to wonder just where Clair ends... and Amy begins.

Supervillains? No problem. High school? Well, that's another story...Former comic book artist Jane Maxwell likes to think she's adjusted pretty well to life as a superhero. She's got full command of her powers, her wife's back from the dead, and she's launched a thriving new comics company. It's a lot to juggle, but she wouldn't trade it for anything.But trading her life is exactly what happens when a villain transports her to a parallel world and body-swaps her with a version of herself twenty years younger. Trapped in the year 2000, Jane will need to juggle high school drama, a surprising new ally, and math she's long since forgotten how to do... all while finding some way to get back to the body and life she belongs in, before either she or her younger self can mess up each other's futures for good.
