Most days, Sam Oldfield seems like an ordinary kid. But it's hard to be ordinary when you're really a powerful Enchanter destined to save a magical kingdom. Other Enchanters have been using their magic for evil, and Sam may be the only one who can stop them, thanks in part to the mysterious and magical Sand Stone that only Sam can use.Some days, Sam wonders what's more important: learning to use magic to save the kingdom of Ebdyrza, or passing seventh-grade math? At least Christmas break will be normal—or so Sam thinks, until the spell keeping Enchanters from crossing the Divide into the ordinary world is destroyed by an Enchanter Sam would rather not meet again. And when Sam and his friends must flee into Ebdyrza to escape a powerful enemy, Sam's worlds collide at last, as Sam must be prepared to fight not only an enemy, but a member of his own family.

The Telmaj, whose special gift makes faster-than-light travel possible, have been taken as slaves for as long as anybody can remember. But now a war to end that slavery has begun between the Telmaj and the Unified Government--and the Telmaj's secret weapon, the Twenty, are already arising. But will Smijj find the others before the Unified Government does?Smijj may be young by his people's standards, but he has already proven that he is the fastest and strongest Telmaj anybody has ever heard of, and he's finally being allowed to join the fight. He doesn't mind danger, except when it threatens the people he loves. But he is learning that sometimes the most unexpected dangers can come in the form of trusted allies, and even friends.

Sam Oldfield’s life is far from ordinary these days. His cousin Eric now lives in Fairview and is teaching Sam to use Enchanter’s magic properly. Sam’s mom knows about Ebdyrza and is quickly becoming friends with Kittritt, Sam’s sky-tangler friend. But not everything is going well; Sam’s dad has been strangely distant and is impatient to help Eric move out of the Oldfield’s home. Sam thinks his father will understand everything if Sam can just tell his dad about Ebdyrza. But before Sam can find a way to do that, danger strikes both in Ebdyrza and in Fairview. As Sam and his friends cross the Divide into Ebdyrza again, they find that the evil Paragons have taken steps to keep them trapped there—and they will stop at nothing to get Sam in their power.

It isn't easy being the leader of the Twenty Telmaj in a time of war. It's even harder when Firra, one of Smijj's oldest friends, decides she can no longer support the war or trust the Twenty. But Smijj doesn't have time for personal problems, not with Alcemitron, home of the Robots' Union, seeking an alliance with Telmaja.Things aren't always what they seem, however: Alcemitron wants more than an alliance. Someone has stolen an ancient and powerful device from them, a device that the Government might use as a weapon against Telmaja. Smijj and his friends must find the thief and stop him from handing the device over to Xentrova before it's too late—but the thief has a frightening secret of his own that could put Smijj and all of his friends in danger.

Smijj is a Telmaj, which means he can travel vast distances and even move spaceships across the galaxy just by wishing. But Smijj is the most gifted Telmaj anyone has ever seen, and because of him the Telmaj people are finally taking a stand against the Unified Government and Telmaj slavery. He wants to take part in the fight for freedom. Instead, he has to deal with boredom, overprotective friends and this thing called school...Smijj realizes that his people are on the brink of war, and he believes he can help, if only the adults will let him. When a chance encounter with an escaped slave holds the promise of an exciting new adventure, Smijj is off and running...but soon he and his friends, both old and new, are running for their lives from the one place in the galaxy Smijj hoped he’d never set foot on again.
