YA
Kate Brighton bears her late father's "traitor" legacy and shares a magical bond with the horses she now rides to relay mail while avoiding the terrifying nightdrakes. When an unexpected daylight drake attack causes her to cross paths with her former love, Prince Corwin, it portends romantic and political difficulties ahead. Arnett builds an engaging world for this high fantasy full of action and realistic character development.

YA
Star-crossed lovers Dusty and Eli (The Nightmare Affair; The Nightmare Dilemma) use supernatural powers to share dreams at their school for magickind, but it's been prophesied that their love will lead to a dire end. When Dusty's old adversary returns, the meaning of the prophecy is revealed. Arnett dynamically weaves together characters and plot lines from preceding books for a gratifying conclusion.

YA
Jeth (Avalon) and his crew aren't doing well now that the ITA is hunting him. To rescue his mother and free the family, Jeth has to choose between making a deal with a dangerous crime boss that would put his own freedom on the line or risking everyone's lives. Less predictable than its predecessor, the twisty and well-plotted narrative should please space-opera fans.

YA
Jeth has one last job to complete before he can buy back his parents' spaceship from a crime boss. But the ship he was sent to find carries a deadly cargo that everyone in the galaxy wants. The strong bond between Jeth and his humorously motley crew of teenage mercenaries outshines the predictable plot and will appeal to Firefly-esque space-opera fans.

YA
The ex-boyfriend who betrayed Dusty in The Nightmare Affair has been released from prison, and Dusty's been recruited to spy on him. At the same time, she's investigating a barbarous attack on one of her mermaid friends. Dusty's budding yet forbidden relationship with classmate Eli feels stereotypical, but fantasy fans will appreciate the plot's absorbing twists.
