A new chapter in the saga of Ender's Earth. Earth and its society have been changed irrevocably in the aftermath of Ender Wiggin's victory over the Formics. The unity forced upon the warring nations by an alien enemy has shattered. Nations are rising again, seeking territory and influence, and seeking to control the skills and loyalty of the children from the Battle School. But one person has a better idea. Peter Wiggin, Ender's older, more ruthless...

Bean, nearing death, and his wife Petra search for their stolen children with the help of their former Battle School classmates while Peter Wiggin attempts to restore world government with himself as hegemon.

Bean moves with three of his children into a derelict space colony ship where they hope for a cure to engineered genes that give them high intelligence and short lives, a situation that is complicated when space-time distortions cause them to be forgotten by humanity.

While trying to heal a cursed tree she planted at the High Mountain Renaissance Fair, Keelie Heartwood loses a very important book of magic. Even though the elves, including her boyfriend, question her loyalty, it is still up to Keelie, her human friends, dragons, and faeries to defeat an army of invading goblins before they destroy the world.

Mixed-blood Keelie Heartwood discovers at the Fairy High Court that a major magical imbalance has created a rift in space and time that could destroy the world, but though she is parts elf, human, and fae, she cannot save the world on her own. Help is hard to find, however, with the Grey Mantle elves unwilling, and fewer fairies are forthcoming with information than ever. To complicate things, a dangerous yet handsome forest god is stalking her.
