What they don’t know is that Eryx plans to kidnap Jordan and force President Ellis to pledge his soul. If Eryx’s plot succeeds, the consequences would be catastrophic.

  2. This is a great post! My daughter loves YA books that are focused around females or with a strong female presence. She's reading a book right now that she can't put down called, "Through Angel's Eyes" by Steve Theunissen, you can check it out and get it right off the website http://sbpra.com/stevetheunissen/. I may have to get one of the books, listed above, for her - I think she'd really like them! Thanks for the post and suggestions!
