The war isn't going well. Wolfbane's forces are pressing the Commonwealth on multiple fronts, the Commonwealth's fragile political balance is on the verge of shattering, and there's a high-placed spy somewhere within the Commonwealth elite. For Colonel Edward Stalker and his men, the stakes have never been so high. Defeat will mean the end of everything they have fought and died for since their exile from Earth.

The Commonwealth Civil War has stalemated, but both sides - desperate to win at all costs - are looking for ways to end the fighting before everything they’ve built is turned to ash. King Hadrian, on the edge of madness, searches for allies who might help, at a price. His enemies, all too aware the battle is far from won, search for long-forgotten truths that might tear the king’s forces apart and end the war in a single blow. For Admiral Kat Falcone and Commodore William McElney, caught on opposite sides, everything they’ve ever loved is at stake.

The Commonwealth has fractured, its interstellar order breaking down into civil war. On one side is Hadrian, the outlaw king of Tyre, driven from his homeworld and forced into a fragile alliance with the colony worlds; on the other sits a parliament determined to restrain him at all costs. The time for talk is over. The matter can be settled only by war. Loyal to the king, Admiral Kat Falcone leads her fleets into battle, joined by allies with motives of their own. But her friend and former comrade Commodore William McElney has chosen to join the Houses of Parliament.

As the Commonwealth produces more starships and increases recruits, victory begins to slip from Theocratic control. This can only make the Theocracy more desperate to win...and more dangerous to fight. After a mission to liberate an occupied planet ends in nuclear devastation, Kat Falcone - now a commodore in command of HMS Queen Elizabeth - sees firsthand just how far the enemy will go.

Captain Kat Falcone owes her life and career to her former right-hand man, William McElney, and she did everything in her power to make sure he was front and center for a promotion. But now that he has it, she fears he'll have to watch his back. Captain McElney has been assigned to HMS Uncanny - nicknamed Unlucky - a heavy cruiser tainted by the mysterious deaths of two former captains and rumors of mutineers.

The student witches are growing increasingly reckless, preying on the mundanes below the mountains as their tutors plot and scheme to take advantage of the chaos. And no one seems to know why. Emily is in no condition to intervene. But she cannot refuse. Heading to Laughter, Emily finds herself dragged into a world of schoolgirl games, staffroom politics, and a deadly plot aimed at the heart of the Allied Lands themselves.

A year after the Commonwealth won the war with the Theocracy, the interstellar cruise liner Supreme is on its maiden voyage, carrying a host of aristocrats thrilled to be sharing in a wondrous adventure among the stars. Then a collision with a pirate ship leaves the cruiser powerless and becalmed in hyperspace. And they’re not alone. Now, the mysterious force that’s living on this floating graveyard is coming for Supreme’s crew and passengers. As madness starts to tear at their minds, they must fight to survive in a strange alien realm.

Now a celebrated war hero, Captain Kat Falcone is back at the helm of HMS Lightning...and up against near-impossible odds. After an ill-timed outburst almost ends her career, Kat is handed command of a deep-strike mission into enemy space. The objective is to gather intelligence and distract the hostile Theocracy while the Commonwealth prepares its counteroffensive. The chances for success are slim - and for survival even slimmer.

For generations, the Magicians of Celeste have chafed at the limitations of the Compact, the treaties between the Magical and Mundane communities of the Allied Lands, and worked towards their abolition, envisaging a world in which magical supremacy would be established, allowing them to explore newer and greater fields of magic while keeping the powerless mundanes firmly under control. Their dreams were not taken seriously—until now.

Nach ihrem ersten Jahr auf der Zauberschule Whitehall nimmt Emily die Einladung von Prinzessin Alassa an, gemeinsam die Reise in ihr Heimatland Zangaria anzutreten, wo die Prinzessin vielleicht ihren künftigen Ehemann treffen wird. Alassa, die vor der Begegnung mit Emily völlig verzogen war, möchte mit ihrer Freundin angeben – und mögliche Heiratskandidaten beeindrucken. Emily kann ausspannen und eine Welt erkunden, die ganz anders ist als die Erde; sie kann neue Leute treffen und sich an den Ruf gewöhnen, der ihr in der Namenlosen Welt vorauseilt.

Emily erfährt, dass sie Zauberkräfte besitzt, und um zu lernen, ihre Fähigkeiten einzusetzen, soll sie in Whitehall, der ältesten und ehrwürdigsten Zauberschule, ausgebildet werden. Die Einheimischen dort halten sie für ein "Schicksalskind" – dazu bestimmt, Großes zu vollbringen. Ein Titel, der ihr Freunde und Feinde bringt. Als Fremde in einer unbekannten Welt muss Emily sich in ihrem neuen Leben zurechtfinden ... und zugleich um ihr Leben fürchten. Denn der Nekromant ist weiter auf der Jagd nach ihr, und wenn Emily ihn nicht aufhält, kann er der Welt den Untergang bringen.

Salvata appena in tempo da un enigmatico stregone, Emily scopre di possedere dei poteri magici che dovrà imparare a utilizzare a Whitehall, una scuola per maghi. Lì verrà a sapere che tutti la considerano una Figlia del Destino – creatura dalle cui scelte dipende la salvezza o la dannazione del mondo – titolo che le attirerà sia amici che nemici.

Per Emily il viaggio, oltre che motivo di svago, diventa occasione per esplorare un mondo molto diverso dal suo, conoscere nuove persone e venire a patti con la sua nuova reputazione in quel pianeta senza nome. Dopo la sua vittoria su Shadye, chiunque desidera vederla, parlarle, a volte addirittura sposarla o ucciderla. Per una ragazza introversa come lei, l'esperienza è alquanto sconvolgente. Non è mai stata corteggiata prima di allora, non sulla Terra.

The Nameless World is a place of magic and mystery, of kings and princes and magicians and merchants and rebels, fighting for supremacy or power or even just to carve out a place for themselves in a world of wonders and terrors, a world forever changed by a traveler from our world…

The strong races rule the galaxy, doing as they please. The weak are enslaved or driven from their homeworlds or simply exterminated by the ruling powers. The Solar Union's only hope of survival is to master GalTech and improve upon it before the Galactics realize the human race is no longer trapped on a primitive world, at the mercy of any spacefaring race who stumbles across it. But GalTech keeps its secrets close, and time is not on humanity's side.

When they found themselves trapped on Earth, Richard, Brains, and Helen befriended Janet and Steve, a brother and sister growing up in a poverty-stricken estate, and taught them the basics of magic before discovering that sinister forces were slowly moving against them. Now, Richard and Brains have taken Janet back to Mystic Albion to study magic, while Helen and Steve remain behind to track down the rogue magicians and stop them before it is too late.

After a cataclysmic interstellar war that came very close to exterminating humanity, the Daybreak Republic has risen from the ashes and embarked upon a mission to unite hundreds of human colony worlds under its banner. The Republic hopes to prevent a second and final conflict that will complete the destruction of the human race. But not everyone agrees that the empire's ends justify the means.

In a night of terror, the barriers between the magical and mundane worlds were torn down—and the two merged into one, unleashing wonders and terrors beyond human imagination. Jet fighters fly past dragons and kids on broomsticks, creatures of magic and myth return to their old haunts and start wreaking havoc, and the outcast and dispossessed suddenly discover they have power beyond their wildest dreams.

Montezuma was an isolated world of interest to no one—until an interstellar corporation discovered vast resources of rare materials under the surface, just waiting to be extracted and sold. The corporates legally stole the planet, crushed the native dreams of independence, and brought in vast numbers of outsiders to mine the rough-hewn world, leaving poverty, pollution, and deprivation on an unimaginable scale in their wake.

Nuestra heroína tendrá que aprender a emplear sus talentos en la escuela Whitehall, mientras intenta burlar a su acérrimo enemigo, el nigromante, que sigue empeñado en asesinarla.
