Dark Tempest (Red Winter Trilogy Ser. #Vol. 2)
by Annette MarieEmi has dedicated her life to becoming the perfect vessel for the goddess Amaterasu, but the insidious betrayal of another deity has changed everything. Now Amaterasu has charged Emi with an urgent mission: to find and free the earthly gods before mankind is brought to its knees beneath divine tyranny. At her side is Shiro, the mysterious fox spirit. When she first saved his life, she could never have imagined that behind his cunning and confidence, he was lost--his power bound by a devastating curse and his memories obscured. His veiled history is somehow tied to the missing gods, but he can't remember how or why. As their search leads them into the murky depths of the spirit realm, the shadows of Shiro's past begin to emerge. With each brief awakening of his true self, she loses a little more of him. The fate of the heavens and earth rest in her mortal hands, and she must find the missing gods before time runs out for her world--and for Shiro. Dark Tempest includes 10 full-page illustrations by award-winning artist Brittany Jackson.

Dark Wing
by Katherine Maclean Carl WestDark Wing is a 240 page science fiction novel written by Carl West and Katherine MacLean and first published in 1979. It tells the story of a teenager who, not permitted to join an intersteller colonizing expedition, acquires illegal medical knowledge and struggles against governmental repression to save his non-earthborn friend and to achieve his own dreams. Argo's summary reads as follows:Travis had raced to the New York Spaceport hoping the space shuttle that held his classmates was waiting for him. But of course it wasn't. When his parents had refused to sign for him, even though he had trained for space for two years, that was the end. As the shuttle left the spaceport, he knew that his dreams were dead. And he was on spaceport land without a permit to be there. It was in escaping from a police copter looking for tresspassers that Travis found an ambulance, wrecked maybe seventy years before, with two paramedic :vases still intact, their information about medicine and the art of healing waiting for anyone who wanted to understand. But medicine was even more illegal than being at the spaceport. Anyone found trying to practice medicine was open to a thorough brainwashing. Yet Travis found himself fascinated. More than fascinated-an eager student. And soon he was caught up in a black market of doctoring. But his illegal medical practice was not his only problem. There was his friend Iron Phedon, who had actually been born on another planetCentauri II, Nueva Terra-and who was being detained on earth after the death of his parents by political and commercial interests for highly unsavory reasons. Readers will find the New York City that Travis explores-from the strange services of the Deathwatch to. the luxury and greed of corporate officialdom-different in technology and structure from the city of today but not so different in the people who make it up. It is a place where anything can be had for a price, including a completely new identity and life history, and where a small vial of penicillin can make the fortune needed to achieve one's grandest dreams.

When a mysterious stranger emerges from the bayou—a stormy-eyed boy with links to Elora and the town's bloody history—Grey realizes that La Cachette's past is far more present and dangerous than she'd ever understood. Suddenly, she doesn't know who she can trust.
