NEW! The long-awaited conclusion to the Sacred Breath Series! No one is prepared to deal with the repercussions of Visola's rampage across America; not even Visola herself. The result is global warfare of land versus sea on a scale that no one has ever seen before. The people of the oceans must struggle, for the first time, to keep their heads above water. In a secret and primitive part of the Atlantic, a powerful priestess believes that innocent Princess Varia possesses the key to the world's salvation. Glais, the princess's young love, lies in a mysterious coma, and Mother Melusina promises that she will wake him if only Varia does all she asks. Appalled at the idea of betraying her mother, Varia refuses, but she is not sure how much longer she can stand the brutal imprisonment and torture. Mother Melusina is convinced that if Varia can survive her rigorous training, the princess will become the type of leader that can bring and end to war and correct Queen Aazuria's mistakes. Varia is hesitant, skeptical, and afraid. Unfortunately, she has no choice. The life of the boy she loves depends on it.

Veronica Dugan was as seductive as she was ambitious. As a small town newspaper reporter, her dreams of the big time sometimes clouded her judgment. Veronica would get the story at any cost, using every tool at her disposal - sometimes even her smoldering sexuality. But her take-no-prisoners style made enemies, so few could claim to be shocked when her body was found floating in the Mississippi River. The suspects were many: Gary Boyer, a boyfriend consumed with jealousy and plagued by insecurity. He knows that Veronica is more woman than he deserves, and a woman that he could never hope to keep. Still, he can't let her go. Her draw is more powerful and intoxicating than any narcotic. Tom Hughes, one of Veronica's many lovers, a man who thought that he had once again found love, only to learn that he was nothing more than a convenience. Kell Plastics, a powerful and ostensibly "green" international chemical company whose local plant is one of the few remaining major employers in the economically downtrodden city of Riverport. Few know that Veronica is about to unearth Kell's dirtiest secrets; that the label "green" was nothing more than a marketing ploy. The City Council, whose good ol' boy politicians don't know the meaning of "conflict of interest." For one council member in particular, the beautiful young reporter on the City Hall beat has become more than a mere nuisance. Jessica Reid, who learns that the man of her dreams was having an affair with her onetime best friend-- Veronica Dugan. Poisoned Waters introduces Deputy Tobias "Toby" Briggs. His determined investigation of Veronica Dugan's murder leads him in directions no one could have anticipated. His dealings with Veronica's former colleagues at The Riverport Chronicle expose the simmering tension between law enforcement and the media, a relationship born of necessity and mutual exploitation. Riverport, situated on the banks of the Mississippi, is home to a host of characters with entertaining quirks and a sense of rough justice. Poisoned Waters explores the lifestyles of those who live there, celebrates their individualism, and notes their respect for the river and its power. Riverboats and blues festivals, anglers and barge hands, and the diverse Mississippi River Valley wildlife all contribute to the texture of the story. Deputy Briggs' love of the river and his disdain for those who would exploit its resources creates a backdrop with a powerful environmental message.

Based on original reporting by a Pulitzer Prize finalist and an industry veteran, the first book for young adults about the Flint water crisis In 2014, Flint, Michigan, was a cash-strapped city that had been built up, then abandoned by General Motors. As part of a plan to save money, government officials decided that Flint would temporarily switch its water supply from Lake Huron to the Flint River. Within months, many residents broke out in rashes. Then it got worse: children stopped growing. Some people were hospitalized with mysterious illnesses; others died. Citizens of Flint protested that the water was dangerous. Despite what seemed so apparent from the murky, foul-smelling liquid pouring from the city's faucets, officials refused to listen. They treated the people of Flint as the problem, not the water, which was actually poisoning thousands. Through interviews with residents and intensive research into legal records and news accounts, journalist Candy J. Cooper, assisted by writer-editor Marc Aronson, reveals the true story of Flint. Poisoned Water shows not just how the crisis unfolded in 2014, but also the history of racism and segregation that led up to it, the beliefs and attitudes that fueled it, and how the people of Flint fought-and are still fighting-for clean water and healthy lives.

“For Erin Brockovich fans, a David vs. Goliath tale with a twist” (The New York Times Book Review)—the incredible true story of the lawyer who spent two decades building a case against DuPont for its use of the hazardous chemical PFOA, uncovering the worst case of environmental contamination in history—affecting virtually every person on the planet—and the conspiracy that kept it a secret for sixty years. The story that inspired Dark Waters, the major motion picture from Focus Features starring Mark Ruffalo and Anne Hathaway, directed by Todd Haynes. 1998: Rob Bilott is a young lawyer specializing in helping big corporations stay on the right side of environmental laws and regulations. Then he gets a phone call from a West Virginia farmer named Earl Tennant, who is convinced the creek on his property is being poisoned by runoff from a neighboring DuPont landfill, causing his cattle and the surrounding wildlife to die in hideous ways. Earl hasn’t even been able to get a water sample tested by any state or federal regulatory agency or find a local lawyer willing to take the case. As soon as they hear the name DuPont—the area’s largest employer—they shut him down. Once Rob sees the thick, foamy water that bubbles into the creek, the gruesome effects it seems to have on livestock, and the disturbing frequency of cancer and other health problems in the area, he’s persuaded to fight against the type of corporation his firm routinely represents. After intense legal wrangling, Rob ultimately gains access to hundreds of thousands of pages of DuPont documents, some of them fifty years old, that reveal the company has been holding onto decades of studies proving the harmful effects of a chemical called PFOA, used in making Teflon. PFOA is often called a “forever chemical,” because once in the environment, it does not break down or degrade for millions of years, contaminating the planet forever. The case of one farmer soon spawns a class action suit on behalf of seventy thousand residents—and the shocking realization that virtually every person on the planet has been exposed to PFOA and carries the chemical in his or her blood. What emerges is a riveting legal drama “in the grand tradition of Jonathan Harr’s A Civil Action” (Booklist, starred review) about malice and manipulation, the failings of environmental regulation; and one lawyer’s twenty-year struggle to expose the truth about this previously unknown—and still unregulated—chemical that we all have inside us.
