Luna keeps the beacon burning in her family lighthouse to guide sailors safely along the windswept Scotland sea cliffs, but she feels as lost as the orphaned gull she rescued. How can she ever spread her wings, knowing that would mean leaving her widowed father and motherless sisters?
Outside dangers threaten their precious coast, tipping the balance for people and wildlife. Salm and Luna merge their magic to help—until he accidentally spills a secret that pulls her family deeper into the shadows of grief, and she takes refuge. Can the fellow who wears his heart on his sleeve persuade the cautious Luna to finally trust her own feelings?
KEEPERS OF THE SEA CLIFFS explores the struggles of older teens setting their own course in life, while still holding true to their magical connections to nature and community.

- Trial at the Faire: The Windborne, #0

A medieval festival. An outing with friends. With costumes and their magic locked away, no one will suspect they're wizards, right? Fifteen-year-old Raven wants nothing more than to spend the day talking to his smart and fun neighbor, Willow, but his gran has other plans for their outing to a human medieval faire. It's a test for the young wizards from their hidden island, a trial in passing as human, and everyone must take it seriously. The teens have received strict instructions, from dressing up in old-style costumes to locking away their magic and not even breathing words like spells and magic. Fine, Raven will go along. Except…Salm—older and charming—is paying too much attention to Willow. With no help coming from Beri, his adopted brother who is grumpier than an old badger, scornful glares from Oyster and many interruptions by Coral, Salm's annoying younger sister, Raven's only hope to catch Willow's eye might be the faire's squire competition. Deep in his own plans, Raven overlooks his friends are suffering their own growing pains, especially Beri when the trial forces him to confront the uneasy memories of his mother's death. When one slip threatens their wizard background, can the teens work together to rescue their friends and family?
