    When the stars whisper, we have to listen … 
     
    An alien signal. 
     
    Of all the things I expected to uncover while trying to make sense of the Anomaly, this didn't even enter my mind. 
     
    But now, the signal has changed my understanding of everything. 
     
    The Anomaly that's suffocating Earth isn't natural, and decoding this message could be our one shot at saving the planet. 
     
    The trouble is, we don't even know where to start. 
     
    What will it take to decipher the alien signal and unlock the secrets of the Anomaly? And how should we reply when we decode their message? 
     
    A lot of people don't think we should trust the aliens who are reaching out to us. I can't pretend I don't understand why. 
     
    But with no other way of putting things right, we have to at least figure out what they're saying. 
     
    The clock is ticking until the Anomaly consumes us. The fate of humanity lies in my hands all over again. 
     
    And this time, the choices I make will echo through the cosmos …

    Fire burns bright and has a long memory . . . 
     
     
     
    Quiet, thoughtful princess Thanh was sent away as a hostage to the powerful faraway country of Ephteria as a child. Now she's returned to her mother's imperial court, haunted not only by memories of her first romance, but by worrying magical echoes of a fire that devastated Ephteria's royal palace. 
     
     
     
    Thanh's new role as a diplomat places her once again in the path of her first love, the powerful and magnetic Eldris of Ephteria, who knows exactly what she wants: romance from Thanh and much more from Thanh's home. Eldris won't take no for an answer, on either front. But the fire that burned down one palace is tempting Thanh with the possibility of making her own dangerous decisions. 
     
     
     
    Can Thanh find the freedom to shape her country's fate—and her own?

But with the King of Tavras holding her captive and her sister’s sacrifice keeping her from running, she’s forced to play a dangerous game. If she fails to outmaneuver Erina, she'll never break free.

    The vampiress Freida has discovered Shay. 
    Wonderful. Guess there’s no rest for the wicked, as they say. Am I wicked? Just a little. 
    As a Starlight witch, I’ve had my fair share of struggles. I mean, let’s face it, being a witch is tough enough, but when you add a little sister into the mix, things get crazy. 
    Shay’s got the power of the sun inside her, and everyone wants a piece of that, including the evil vampiress Freida. She wants to use my little sister for her own nefarious purposes, and I’ll be damned if I let that happen. 
    To make matters worse, my past has come back to haunt me. My giantess friend, Catelyn, still blames me for her parents’ death, and she’s got a vendetta against me that even my Starlight magic can’t fix. I’ve got to protect Shay and keep her safe from Freida while dodging Catelyn’s giantess fists and icy glares. 
    So I’ve got to protect Shay from Freida and try to convince Catelyn I’m not the villain she makes me out to be. Easy peasy, right? Wrong. Because when you mix magic, vampires, and old grudges, things tend to get a bit messy. 
    It’s not all doom and gloom, though. I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve and a couple of magical friends who’ve got my back, including my sexy-as-sin giant boyfriend, Valen. 
    And I never back down from a challenge. Ever.
