Alex falls under the spell of an ancient demon–and turns away from his sister, his homeworld, and his search for his father.Stories say Yuki-onna, the Snow Woman, drinks the blood of those bold enough to walk through her woods–the very woods Alex must cross as Minokichi, a young Japanese workman. If Alex has learned anything in his search for his father through Alterworld myths, it’s that the worst stories have a terrible habit of coming true. So he shouldn’t be surprised when a beautiful woman emerges from the blizzard that torments him. Someone so beautiful couldn’t hide an ugly soul, yet this stranger may be the greatest danger Alex has ever had to face.From the Trade Paperback edition.

It was supposed to be a big celebration. John McFarland (uncle to Wesley, Kurt, Lisa and Mary) and his long lost Eleanor were getting married. But a typhoon kept nearly every one of their friends and family from attending the wedding ceremony in Hong Kong. And by the time everyone did arrive for the reception at a downtown hotel, John and Eleanor had disappeared without a trace! While their parents and the Hong Kong authorities set about searching for the missing couple, Mary, Wesley, Kurt and Lisa begin their own investigation. Convinced that John and Eleanor have been transported to the mystical kingdom of Anthropos, the four amateur sleuths hit a dead end. How can they get to Anthropos? And once they get there, how will they know where to look? As Book 5 in John White's Archives of Anthropos unfolds, the sleuths are confronted with an even bigger challenge than finding Uncle John and Eleanor. In Anthropos an evil sorcerer plots the destruction of his eternal enemy--a tiny infant who (if he survives) is destined to become King of Anthropos and conqueror of Lord Lunacy.

Time to fight fire... The time has come for our heroes, Rohan, Angus, Ivar, and Deirde, to tame Pyre, the Fire Dragon of Dare. The four friends are confident that they won't have much trouble, thanks to their Mystic weapons and armor. But when they come face-to-face with the ferocious dragon, the Mystic Knights make a terrifying discovery. Their weapons and armor have no effect on Pyre! Things look bleak for the Mystic Knights...Only you can help them, mighty reader. Choose wisely, and the Mystic Knights will tame the Fire Dragon. But the slightest misstep could find the four warriors lost in a Pixie Field or locked in battle with the Evil Sentinels!

Loki, the trickster god of Norse legends, lies chained to a rock, tortured by the venomous fangs of a serpent as punishment for offending Thor. Alex enters the myth as Loki’s son, Vali, and refuses to let his “father” face such a horrible fate. But if he acts to rescue Loki, will he destroy the very fabric of the universe? His sister Cleo watches his adventures from the computer monitor and advises Alex when she can, but ultimately, the decision is his.
