Ratheena's Curse by Jenaya Vander Stoep Pdf

Kohwa ran toward the Woman of Curses who had his baby, but the curse was now set, and the woman with long red hair in the mysterious black cloak didn't need the baby anymore. "Shhh, I have you now," Kohwa soothed as he held his baby girl and kissed her head. He looked up into the dark forest, but Ratheena was nowhere to be seen. Kohwa then looked back down at his daughter and saw two bloody fingerprints on her forehead. He knew exactly what that meant. A pelting rain started to drizzle and thunder boomed overhead. As cold rain dripped down his face, he whispered in anger, "She's been cursed!" Only three years have passed since the destruction of the evil spirit of Dogwaff that inhabited Kavic who is now the new leader of the Six Tribes. Peace has reigned since the last war, but evil always has its ways of sprouting up again within the Woodland Forest. With Ratheena's Dark Magic and ability to give curses, she is quickly gaining power, and the Stone Union rises up again, stronger than they ever were before. The Six Tribes once again have come face-to-face with their enemies, but twisted surprises come their way as new Gifted Ones are revealed, magical properties that hold all the very secrets and wishes of all the Woodlanders ever told have been entrusted to a young woman, and the rebirth of Ephreite Magic, the greatest, most powerful magic in the land, is held within a young boy discovering who he truly is. Mayettay has to challenge her fears of her curse with special abilities of courage, perseverance, and love. Not only does Mayettay have troubles to face, but rising trials deep within a dragon sanctuary pushes Hutch, his twin brother, Kalcove, and Cluff to solve the mysteries and discover the answers to why the precious Fire, Water, and Ice Dragons have seemingly become lost in their own minds. With the rising power of Dark Magic among the Stone people, our young Woodland friends must discover the truths that have been buried in secrecy for years, not only within the Stone Union but also within the very walls of the Mother Tree. But with another potential war at hand, one echoing phrase rings true in the young warrior Hutch's head: "Protect those you love...and those you never thought you could love."

Children of the Fox by Kevin Sands Pdf

Five kids with unusual talents are brought together to commit an impossible crime in the first book in a thrilling new heist series from the bestselling author of The Blackthorn Key. A magic-infused fantasy that brings together a ragtag group of kids to pull off a crime so difficult, countless adults have already tried and failed. Lured by the promise of more money than they've ever dreamed of, five young criminals are hired to steal a heavily guarded treasure from the most powerful sorcerer in the city. There's Callan the con artist, Meriel the expert at acrobatics (and knives!), Gareth the researcher, Lachlan who can obtain anything, and Foxtail, whose mysterious eyeless mask doesn't hinder her ability to climb walls like a spider. Though their shadowy backgrounds mean that they've never trusted anyone but themselves, the five must learn to rely on each other in order to get the job done. But as Callan has been warned most of his life, it's best to stay away from magic. It can turn on you at any moment, and make you think you're the one running the con game, when in reality you're the one being fooled. Faced with these unsurmountable odds, can the new friends pull off this legendary heist, or has their luck finally run out?
