After the sickness known as the Doom destroyed civilization, magick has become commonplace, and Fallon Swift has spent her young years learning its ways. Fallon cannot live in peace until she frees those who have been preyed upon by the government or the fanatical Purity Warriors, endlessly hunted or locked up in laboratories, brutalized for years on end. Strengthened by the bond she shares with her fellow warrior, Duncan, Fallon has already succeeded in rescuing countless shifters and elves and ordinary humans. Now she must help them heal; and rediscover the light and faith within themselves.

Contains two novels featuring the O'Hurley family: in "Skin Deep," famous actress Chantal O'Hurley hires Quinn Doran to protect her from a stalker; in "Without a Trace," Trace O'Hurley, having left home years earlier, finds himself longing for his family when he agrees to help Gillian Fitzpatrick find her missing brother.

Cooper Sullivan is reunited with childhood sweetheart Lil Chance, with whom he spent every summer, when he returns to his grandparent's Black Hills ranch to care for them and becomes involved in an investigation into a perpetrator who has been pulling pranks on Lil Chance's wildlife refuge which may be linked to the dead body of a hiker Cooper and Lil Chance found when they were children.

On New Years Eve, the sickness spread and over half of the world's population was gone. Magick rose where science and technolgy fell, but still no one is safe; so Lana and Max leave the city. More travelers are heading west, trying to find the purpose that will change their lives.

"They look like an everyday family living an ordinary life. But beyond the edges of this peaceful farm, unimaginable forces of light and dark have been unleashed. Fallon Swift, approaching her thirteenth birthday, barely knows the world that existed before--the city where her parents lived, now in ruins and reclaimed by nature since the Doom sickened and killed billions. Traveling anywhere is a danger, as vicious gangs of Raiders and fanatics called Purity Warriors search for their next victim. Those like Fallon, in possession of gifts, are hunted--and the time is coming when her true nature, her identity as The One, can no longer be hidden"--Provided by publisher.
