ONE
SPARK WILL RISE. Nina Kane was born to be an exorcist. And since
uncovering the horrifying truth—that the war against demons is far from
over—seventeen-year-old Nina and her pregnant younger sister, Mellie,
have been on the run, incinerating the remains of the demon horde as
they go.
In the badlands, Nina, Mellie, and Finn, the fugitive
and rogue exorcist who saved her life, find allies in a group of freedom
fighters. They also face a new threat: Pandemonia, a city full of
demons. But this fresh new hell is the least of Nina’s worries. The well
of souls ran dry more than a century ago, drained by the demons
secretly living among humans, and without a donor soul, Mellie’s child
will die within hours of its birth.
Nina isn’t about to let that happen . . . even if it means she has to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Ginger
Stuyvesant, an American heiress living in London during World War I, is
engaged to Captain Benjamin Harford, an intelligence officer. Ginger is
a medium for the Spirit Corps, a special Spiritualist force.
Each
soldier heading for the front is conditioned to report to the mediums
of the Spirit Corps when they die so the Corps can pass instant
information about troop movements to military intelligence.
Ginger
and her fellow mediums contribute a great deal to the war efforts, so
long as they pass the information through appropriate channels. While
Ben is away at the front, Ginger discovers the presence of a traitor.
Without the presence of her fiance to validate her findings, the top
brass thinks she's just imagining things. Even worse, it is clear that
the Spirit Corps is now being directly targeted by the German war
effort. Left to her own devices, Ginger has to find out how the Germans
are targeting the Spirit Corps and stop them. This is a difficult and
dangerous task for a woman of that era, but this time both the spirit
and the flesh are willing…

Gideon, Winter won’t rest until she finds her sister’s killer. But when
the clues she uncovers conflict with the neural recordings her sister
made, Winter isn’t sure what to believe. To find out what happened to
Rose, she’ll have to untangle what’s real from what only seems real,
risking her life in the process.
