Dating and High School: Hard Enough. Now Add Assassins. Avoiding assassination wasn't on Mel's to-do list for her junior year. Learning she wasn't human hadn't made the list, either. An only child with overprotective parents, Melody Walters just wants a drama-free year-and to be able to date. She gains the interest of more than one suitor, but doesn't realize any one of them could be an enemy on the hunt. For her, the dating scene could prove deadly. Mel discovers she's a member of a botanical race, forced to hide their daughters in the human world until they mature enough for their powers to bloom. Something goes wrong with her blooming process, breaking her cover and jeopardizing the lives of her protectors and the large family she'd never known about. With the enemy threat ever-looming, in a rush to master her new powers before she's stranded in the human world forever, Mel struggles to decide who she can trust and if the sacrifice being asked of her is too great.

THE SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING LIVES ON! Dr. Alec Holland was a brilliant scientist who was developing a bio-restorative formula that would rejuvenate plant life. When he died, he was reborn as the Swamp Thing, the avatar of the Green. As champion and protector of all plants on the planet, Swamp Thing has access to untold power. But such power also attracts danger. In this daring new reinterpretation, Swamp Thing is put to the ultimate test when he faces several challenges that push the limits of his abilities. There’s the Rot, the kingdom of death and decay that is hell-bent on destroying all life on Earth. Anton Arcane, his archnemesis, has also returned from the grave yet again. When another contender for the role of avatar of the Green steps forth, the creature who was once Alec Holland is forced to defend the mantle that he has grudgingly learned to accept. And just when you thought that the Green had its hands full with the Red and the Rot, yet another kingdom, the Machines, declares war.
