The sequel to The Eighth Day, a fantasy adventure that VOYA called "unparalleled" and "absolutely necessary for middle grades," continues with higher stakes, greater world building, and more pulse-pounding action. With suspense, danger, and new discoveries around every corner, this fast-paced fantasy series that Kirkus Reviews raved was an exciting blend of "modern intrigue and ancient magic" will be a welcome addition for fans of Percy Jackson and Harry Potter. After an all-out battle in Mexico, Jax, Riley, and Evangeline have gone into hiding. There are still rogue Transitioners and evil Kin lords on the hunt for Riley, a descendant of King Arthur, and Evangeline, a powerful wizard with bloodlines to Merlin, in order to gain control over the Eighth Day. So when Finn Ambrose, a mysterious stranger, contacts Jax claiming to be his uncle, Jax's defenses go up-especially after Jax learns that he's holding Jax's best friend, Billy, hostage. To rescue Billy and keep Riley and Evangeline out of the fray, Jax sneaks off to New York City on his own.But once there, he discovers a surprising truth: Finn is his uncle, and Jax comes from a long line of Dulacs-a notoriously corrupt and dangerous Transitioner clan who want Riley dead and Evangeline as their prisoner. And family or not, the Dulacs will stop at nothing to get what they want.

In the third book of the series that VOYA recommends "for fans of Percy Jackson and Harry Potter," the war over the Eighth Day continues-and there's more at stake than ever before. The battle between Kin and Transitioners that's been brewing for centuries has finally come to a head. The sinister Kin have captured Evangeline's younger sister, Addie, a descendant of Merlin whose presence will allow them to reverse the Eighth Day Spell and free themselves. Addie doesn't realize the full consequences of her cooperation. She's been helping the Kin because they value the strength of her magic-something Evangeline never did. The feeling of power coursing through her veins is impossible to resist. Meanwhile, Riley, Evangeline, and Jax craft a plan to rescue Addie from her captors. But the Kin's unstoppable magic, and a rebellious Addie, force Riley to reconsider if saving Addie is worth sacrificing everyone who lives in the seven-day week. Jax won't let Evangeline's sister be used as a pawn, so he risks it all in a secret mission of his own.With the Morrigan pushing both sides of the war toward annihilation, Addie must decide where her loyalties lie, while Jax, Riley, and Evangeline confront the possibility of losing Addie to save the world. Adventure, action, and magic collide in the latest installment of the series that School Library Journal called "fast paced and exciting."

Im dritten Buch der Reihe geht der Kampf um den Achten Tag weiter - und es steht mehr auf dem Spiel als je zuvor.Der Kampf zwischen den Sippen und den Wechslern, der sich seit Jahrhunderten zusammenbraut, hat sich endgültig verschärft. Die finsteren Sippen haben Evangelines jüngere Schwester Addie gefangen genommen, eine Nachfahrin Merlins, deren Anwesenheit es ihnen ermöglichen wird, den Zauber des achten Tages umzukehren und sich zu befreien. Addie ist sich der Tragweite ihrer Beteiligung nicht bewusst. Sie hat den Sippen geholfen, weil sie die Kraft ihrer Magie schätzen - etwas, das Evangeline nie getan hat. Dem Gefühl der Macht, das durch ihre Adern fließt, kann sie nicht widerstehen.Währenddessen schmieden Riley, Evangeline und Jax einen Plan, um Addie vor ihren Entführern zu retten. Doch die unaufhaltsame Magie der Sippe und eine rebellische Addie zwingen Riley dazu, zu überdenken, ob es die Rettung von Addie wert ist, jeden zu opfern, der in der Siebentagewoche lebt. Jax will nicht zulassen, dass Evangelines Schwester als Schachfigur benutzt wird, also riskiert er alles in einer eigenen geheimen Mission. Während die Morrigan beide Seiten des Krieges in Richtung Vernichtung treiben, muss Addie entscheiden, wem ihre Loyalität gilt, während Jax, Riley und Evangeline sich mit der Möglichkeit auseinandersetzen, Addie zu verlieren, um die Welt zu retten.Abenteuer, Action und Magie prallen im neuesten Teil der Serie aufeinander, die das School Library Journal als "rasant und spannend" bezeichnete.

The Addams Family meets The Westing Game in this exhilarating mystery about a modern magical dynasty trapped in the ruins of their once-grand, now-crumbling ancestral home.Twelve-year-old Garnet regrets that she doesn’t know her family. Her mother has done her best to keep it that way, living far from the rest of the magical Carrefour clan and their dark, dangerous mansion known as Crossroad House.But when Garnet finally gets summoned to the estate, it isn’t quite what she hoped for. Her relatives are strange and quarrelsome, each room in Crossroad House is more dilapidated than the last, and she can’t keep straight which dusty hallways and cobwebbed corners are forbidden. Then Garnet learns the family secret: their dying patriarch fights to retain his life by stealing power from others. Every accident that isn’t an accident, every unexpected illness and unexplained disappearance grants Jasper Carrefour a little more time. While the Carrefours squabbles over who will inherit his role when (if) he dies, Garnet encounters evidence of an even deeper curse. Was she brought to Crossroad House as part of the curse . . . or is she meant to break it?Written with loads of creepy atmosphere and an edge-of-your-seat magical mystery, this thrilling story reads like The Haunting of Hill House for preteens. Perfect for late-night reading under the covers.A Kirkus Reviews' Best Middle Grade Book of the Year A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection An Evanston Public Library Great Book for Kids Maine Student Book Award List Selection Missouri Truman Readers Award List Selection Connecticut Nutmeg Book Award List Selection
