The annual Great Quest is about to be announced in Quendel, a task that will determine the future of Marcus and the other boys from the village who are coming of age. The wizard Zyll commands them to find the Rock of Ivanore, but he doesn’t tell them what the Rock is exactly or where it can be found. Marcus must reach deep within himself to develop new powers of magic and find the strength to survive the wild lands and fierce enemies he encounters as he searches for the illusive Rock. If he succeeds, he will live a life of honor; if he fails, he will live a life of menial labor in shame. With more twists and turns than a labyrinth, and a story in which nothing is at it seems, this tale of deception and discovery keeps readers in suspense until the end.

The world knows it as a cartoon with dancing teacups and broomsticks. To twelve year old Claire La Fleur, it is family history, and the power behind Belle’s mirror is real. Every ten years her family gathers to see if the mirror will awaken, and for the last two hundred years it has slept. This time, Claire’s touch awakens the magic within the diamond looking glass, a direct portal to the past and a way to communicate with Cleopatra, the last pharaoh of Egypt. The lure of power brings with it many perils, and a betrayal close to home thrusts Claire into a treacherous underworld. To protect the mirror, she travels into the Louvre museum in the dark of night, searches abandoned subway tunnels, and walks the catacombs of the dead.
Travel with past heroes and a new
adventurer to the historical romps of London and the scorching sands of
Alexandria. Fourteen-year-old Akmir, raised from birth to sacrifice everything
in the pursuit of Cleopatra’s magic gemstones, holds within his hands the
secret location of the fifth and final mystic gem: the blue sapphire. His quest
leads him to England, where four other gemstone searchers: Sara, Melanie, Kainu
and Claire, are on the hunt. A pawn of the Roman Brotherhood, Akmir must choose
his own path, whether to follow in his father’s brutal footsteps or stay true
to his mother’s Egyptian heritage. Clues, puzzles, and danger rule the day. What
will happen when the power of all five gemstones are brought together? This is
a battle for life and death, and only one side can win.
