The demented thing is that this evolved from the most sickly sweet, heart-wrenching love story you've ever heard. I went to Sully because I just couldn't get over Jack’s murder. I couldn't deal. -- Iona came to me the same most did: because there was no closure. A love cut too short. She begged me to open the gate between the living and the dead. We should have left it shut. -- This. This is not a love story. This is a possession story. A story of lies. A story of two faces. This is a story of death and violent echoes from the other side. And there will be no happy endings.

Winner of the 2012 Indie Reader Approved AwardNominated as "A Great Book for Kids" by fantasy and science fiction reviewer CC ColeWhat if the fate of two worlds were in the hands of one person: you?The childhood secret of a troubled teen warrior is used against her by her enemies. It turns out what Neiko imagined is real, and she becomes trapped in the same world she imagined by an otherworldly evil that is worse than the devil. Getting home is the least of her problems.The Indians and the Crackedskulls are locked in the turmoil of a war that has raged for centuries, and it is presently in a stalemate. Her enemies, Raven and Bloodhawk, have come up with a scheme to take her down, but in doing so they inadvertently open the door to another universe and to an otherworldly evil. Neiko later finds out that a land she thought she had only imagined is actually real and the dark being is not a figment of her childhood imagination-he is terrifyingly real and she faces him for the first time. To make matters worse, it is now in her world and he has evil plans especially for her. After several standoffs with the malevolent Ramses the Dark Pharaoh in Hawote, she is trapped in Qari by his strange and powerful magic. Trapped in another universe in a place that is not exactly the way she imagined it, and she must somehow find a way to teleport home. That is easier said than done; the odds are overwhelmingly against her and her scorpion-cobra companion as they must travel to find the answer and help but at the same time avoid Ramses' allies, traps, and tricks. Can she come back home and turn the tables on her enemies?Best for tweens and teens 12-17 and the young at heart adult!If you love the hidden worlds and magic of Percy Jackson and Harry Potter, travel to other worlds like Warriors of Virtue and The Neverending Story, and a strong female protagonist with a bow like the Hunger Games, and the comic relief of the Big Bang Theory, you will love Neiko's Five Land Adventure!

Their names live on in the imagination: Geronimo, Sitting Bull, Custer, Jesse James, Wyatt Earp, Buffalo Bill. There was a time when any kid could have told you everything about those names, which he would have learned from ‘Cowboys and Indians' films and comic books. Exaggerated myths and legends were born from those films and comics. Here at last is a book that gives us the true stories and biographies in fascinating detail.The book describes the pioneers' hardships, transport from horse to railroad via covered wagon, pony express, stagecoach and steam boat; the Indian Wars, leading to the massacre at Wounded Knee; bank raids, train robberies and the shoot-out at the O.K. Corral; and the development of the gun by two men, Samuel Colt, whose work shaped the production and use of American firearms, and Oliver Winchester, inventor of the repeating rifle.An all-encompassing history of the Wild West!
