Keepers' Council
Summary
Chase Harper leaves for college, expecting to lead a normal life. But when he is yanked back to Algonia as the Keepers Council reconvenes, he realizes an ordinary life may never be part of his future. The king is now demanding more from the Keepers than mere secrecy. Garrick, on the other hand, can barely contain his excitement. He hasn't been able to banish a certain auburn-haired maiden from his thoughts, and the moment his feet touch Algonian soil, he plots a way to find her. But what he finds is not at all what he expected. The countries of Algonia and Shuyle may have a truce in their long-standing feud, but political intrigue brews beneath the façade of peace. Lord Dolosus, heir to the Shuylian throne, has gone into hiding, and rumor has it he now plots rebellion, threatening the fragile armistice. So when Chase's nemesis Legard appears in Algonia and tries to broker an alliance, the Keepers doubt his motives. Could Legard have changed his ways, or is his proposition another ploy to steal their counters and facilitate the rebellion?

Keeper's Quest
Summary
A tragic death. A fatal trap. A daring quest. "I woke to the flash of counter coordinates and a rush of adrenalin. Suddenly, it hit me. I was a pawn in someone's game of chess, and I'd just been moved. Master Archidus required my services. I was a Keeper, the Protector, to be specific. I hadn't wanted this, but I wouldn't shun my duties, either. The other Keeper's life wasn't the only one at stake." - Chase Harper After a turbulent start to his senior year, Chase expects his life to return to normal now that Ellie Williams is back. But when a Sniffer's trap leads him on a journey spanning two worlds, he soon realizes things aren't always what they seem. Will his calling as Keeper require a sacrifice he isn't willing to make?

The Hardest Ride
Summary
Chosen as a Finalist in the Western Writers of America's Spur Award. The Texas-Mexico border, the winter of 1886-The Great Die Up. A raw rift separates Mexicans and Anglos. A loner cowpoke and a mute Mexican girl fight man and nature to reunite. Out of work cowpoke Bud Eugen comes across Marta, a mute sixteen-year old Mexican girl whose family has been killed by Indians. Bud reluctantly takes her along, even though he's never had to accommodate another person in his simple life. He's unable to find anyone willing to take her. In spite of his prejudices, Bud grows to like the spunky girl (and her excellent cooking). Eventually, they both find work on a border ranch. Here, the relationship between the girl and the young cowboy hesitantly grows. But banditos raid the ranch, kidnapping the rancher's daughters and Marta. Bud, with twelve other men, pursue the banditos into the most desolate reaches of Mexico. Ambushes and battles with banditos, Rurales, and traitors are constant, and the brutal weather is as much a threat as the man-made perils. Life and death choices are made at every turn as one side gains the advantage, then the other. The rancher's daughters are rescued, and the exhausted party turns back. But Bud presses on alone, against insurmountable odds, determined to fulfill an unspoken promise to Marta.
