After three people disappear into the mysterious portals, Culann Penrose is called in to investigate. Discovering that the ancient system is crumbling, he orders they be shut down. The Druids, still seething at his denunciation of Magic twenty years ago, vehemently oppose Penrose’s inquiry. But then Culann discovers that the weakening technology has inflamed a new Elemental - one which is out to destroy him. Can Culann unravel the enigmatic mystery of the Gates in time for Science to save him, or will his Magic save the Science of the Gael Gates? Legends of Lemuria: After the collapse of an ancient empire, four people each acquire a crystal with extraordinary properties. Casper, Nadika, Jayani and Sharif accidentally unleash the powers of their crystals in search for Lemuria itself, and release the forces that caused the collapse of civilization. Their minds and futures forever intertwined, the four begin a journey among the stars to find clues about the mysterious empire and discover its secrets. By doing so, they set forth a chain of events that will shape the future of the whole galaxy. War Child: After a near-term princess is betrayed in the battle to conquer the galactic core, her unborn daughter Serena is taken from her body, raised in a foreign empire, and trained to be a lethal weapon.

She did not need this man she had just met, bragging about how he had saved her life. But who was he? And where were they? And how would they get home? She had no idea the two strangers were about to be arrested, nearly executed, and then called upon to be heroes.
