  Ancient evil haunts a seaside mansion in the series that’s a “brew of New England Gothic, character driven suspense, and childhood magic” (Christopher Rice, New York Times bestselling author). Five hundred years ago, Isobel the Apostate was burned at the stake after waging war upon her fellow sorcerers, the Order of the Nightwing. With her dying breath she vowed she would return one day, and conquer the world. Now, Isobel has made good on her promise, and returns to modern day Ravenscliff, where the only person who can stand between her and world domination is Devon March. Young Devon’s fight takes him from Ravenscliff to Tudor England and back again, matching wits and magic against an evil that has waited five centuries for revenge. There’s no escaping the endless dangers that Devon faces, and it is only with the help of a strange collection of friends and allies that he has any hope of beating back the Demon Witch.  Praise for Sorcerers of the Nightwing: The Ravenscliff Series Book 1   “The terror begins on page one and never stops! This is my kind of book—filled with magic and dozens of frightening surprises.”—R.L. Stine, New York Times bestselling author   “Seriously scary . . . Best described as Buffy meets teenage Goosebumps . . . Not for the squeamish!”—The Sunday Times

  Based on a real-life revelational experience that is described in the substantial “Afterword” section, The White Horse teaches that one should not judge another by superficial characteristics. In a rural setting whose exact time and setting are purposely undefined, a family of four young children and their parents rejects a horse because of his skin color. The horse initially resigns himself to his outcast status, but when the children find themselves in danger, he emerges as a confident rescuer. The horse’s heroic act proves to the family, and to the horse, himself, that their preconceived prejudices about him were, for many reasons, entirely wrong.

  A young girl rides in a mechanical horse race to save her family in this action-packed “mind-blowingly intense” tale (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). 
   
  Ever since the Titans appeared in her Detroit neighborhood, Astrid Sullivan’s world has revolved around the mechanical horses. It’s not just the thrill of the race. It’s the engineering of the horses themselves and the way they’re programmed to seem so lifelike. The Titans are everything that fascinates Astrid, and nothing she’ll ever touch. 
   
  She hates them a little, too. Her dad lost everything betting on the Titans. And the races are a reminder of the gap between the rich jockeys who can afford the expensive machines and the working-class friends and neighbors of Astrid’s who wager on them. 
   
  But when Astrid’s offered a chance to enter an early model Titan in this year’s derby, well, she decides to risk it all. Because for a girl from the wrong side of the tracks, it’s more than a chance at fame or money. Betting on herself is the only way she can see to hang on to everyone in the world she cares about. 
   
  Praise for Titans 
   
  “Right from the start, Scott commands attention with a simple yet compelling premise, which tackles topics of privilege and class as it entertains. Cinematic, but with real heart at its core, it’s a thrilling SF update to the classic ‘girl and her horse’ tale.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review 
   
  “Scott balances excitement, tension, risk, and athleticism successfully.” —Bulletin, starred review 
   
  “The refreshing lack of romantic subplot allows for greater focus on Astrid’s goals, as well as her relationship with family and friends, and the end result is a solid, exciting story about a determined girl faced with difficult circumstances.” —Booklist
