How would you feel if you received a note from a god? Sassy 13-year-old Isla Brooke was surprised when she saw graffiti on a bridge calling her name--a god, inviting her to meeting. Sadly, it's no joke: a god needs Isla's help. Isla is paired up with fellow SemiMagical Colin Ford for a quest. They need to collect six rainbow keys scattered across the globe, so the god may open his safe and retrieve his weapon. If they don't make the deadline, the world will be thrown into chaos. They set off on the adventure with nothing more than weapons and bags. Along the way, they fight monsters, destroy Chick-fil-As, swoop in the sky, meet new questers (Celeste Pierce, Parker Pierce, and Abcde Amicale) go up against a giant deadly blob, tunnel to the core, melt faces off, get captured and held hostage multiple times, discover their powers (they are SemiMagicals, after all) and are within an inch twice a day on the deadly mission. In this action-packed, funny novel about the Flipside, Divine Side, creatures, SemiMagicals and evil Demigods, powers and more, the true world is extremely dangerous. Will Isla and her friends manage to return the keys to the god before the deadline?

Explore the cursed city of Ulfenkarn in this great fantasy novel. Ulfenkarn is a city of nightmares. Its vampiric rulers have indulged their bloodlust in every shadow-clad alley, turning the once-proud metropolis into a charnel house. Already crushed beneath the tyranny of Radukar the Wolf and his Thirsting Court, a spate of vicious murders plunges the mortal inhabitants into fresh terror. Emerging to uncover a connection between the attacks is an unlikely group of heroes: a vampire hunter from Carstinia, a slum-born vigilante, a ruthless wizard, and a soldier who is the last survivor of her noble bloodline. Arrayed against them are the undead monsters that thrive upon Radukar's gory regime.

Fantasy is a creation of the Enlightenment, and the recognition that excitement and wonder can be found in imagining impossible things. From the ghost stories of the Gothic to the zombies and vampires of twenty-first-century popular literature, from Mrs Radcliffe to Ms Rowling, the fantastic has been popular with readers. Since Tolkien and his many imitators, however, it has become a major publishing phenomenon. In this volume, critics and authors of fantasy look at its history since the Enlightenment, introduce readers to some of the different codes for the reading and understanding of fantasy, and examine some of the many varieties and subgenres of fantasy; from magical realism at the more literary end of the genre, to paranormal romance at the more popular end. The book is edited by the same pair who produced The Cambridge Companion to Science Fiction (winner of a Hugo Award in 2005).
