Sinopsis

All of the world is kept in a delicate balance under the supervision of the Wizard Lord. It is his duty to govern lightly and protect his domain … but if he should stray from the way of the just then it is up to the Chosen to intercede. The Chosen are the Leader, the Seer, the Swordsman, the Beauty, the Thief, the Scholar, the Archer, and the Speaker, magically infused mortal individuals who for the term of their service have only one function—to remove an errant Wizard Lord. But the new Wizard Lord has now changed the playing field by neutralizing all magic in his domain (both his own and that of the Chosen) and has successfully killed and/or blocked his adversaries and their challenges to his omnipotence. Sword (now on the run) must work alone to restore order to their fair land and unravel the mystery of the Ninth Talisman—which might be the salvation or downfall of all that is good in their well ordered land.

    Made up of the absolute fighting best from humans, alien races, hybrids, and even AI androids, Drop Team Zero is called on to handle the worst of the worst, missions that others would tag as pure suicide.

    Climate scientists tell us that some level of climate change is now baked in. So what will life be like in this climate-changed world? 
    In 2031, Zanna is housesitting a beachside house in Byron Bay, living the kind of life that inspires gloating selfies. She isn’t thinking about climate change – it’s just something in the background squeezing her life choices. She has much more immediate concerns, like whether she should let her parents meet her new boyfriend. Her sister Kat has worries much closer to home too, like dealing with difficult personalities in her eco-village in the hills. Their parents in Melbourne are nervously watching the stock market and debating whether it’s time to do a sea change. 
    For all of them though, the good life is uneasy, fragile, and about to come undone. 
    Linda Woodrow, best selling author of The Permaculture Home Garden, tells a tale of disaster, resilience and survival.

    Vampirism. 
    An academy made for monsters. 
    A shifter I can't avoid because he fires up my bloodlust. 
    That's what my life has become. 
    I'm used to being the weird girl. 
    When I look at people, I see their auras instead of their faces. 
    But I never thought a vampire would rip out of me when a mysterious man told me these simple words: "Your blood is mine." 
    The timing was too perfect. 
    Right after that, the headmaster of Nightshade Academy kidnapped me before I could hurt someone with my newly "awakened" vampire genes. Now she's making me attend her school until I've relearned how to be a civilized human being. 
    Well, I want out. I just graduated high school, and I'm not doing college. Besides, my mom is probably worried sick about me. Probably. 
    It gets worse when I meet Kian. He's a shifter and one of the most popular students at Nightshade Academy. He's the type of person I avoid, so I hate that I'm drawn to him. His smell is intoxicating. Being near him turns on my bloodlust, and that's when I realize how in trouble I really am. 
    If I can't control this bloodlust, I'm going to kill someone.

    Nightshade Academy is a young adult contemporary fantasy series.
