Perfect for fans of His Dark Materials! Against all odds, cubs Stellan, Jytte, Third, and Froya have found the key hidden inside the legendary Den of Forever Frost. Now, they have everything they need to destroy the dangerous ice clock. Everything . . . except an army. The power-hungry Grand Patek will stop at nothing to protect the clock, the source of his authority. And so, it's up to the cubs to convince the animals of Ga'Hoole to join the fight-a journey that'll take them from the fabled owl parliament to the rugged territory of the wolves of the beyond. But the owls and the wolves have secrets of their own -- secrets that threaten to fracture the fragile alliance. Do Stellan and Jytte have what it takes to become the leaders of the resistance? Or will the bears be left on their own to battle the greatest enemy Ga'Hoole has ever known?

Jordan Parker is twelve years old. She has no idea that she was born in the magical world or that she has imminent powers. Jordania, her birthmother, knew her baby possessed these gifts. War had broken out the night of Jordan's birthday and all felt a new power shifting the balance between good and evil. With the Dark Army on the rise searching for the source of power, Jordania is forced to give up and hide her baby in the human world for her safety. Jordania continues to fight on her daughter's behalf in the hope of reuniting her family while Lord Xyler continues his quest to find Jordan before she can use her magic to take control of both worlds. Upon her thirteenth birthday, Jordan is sent to the Wentworth Home for Wayward Children where she befriends Willie Mooney, a boy who also has no knowledge of his magical gifts. Together they quickly discover their lives are not at all what they seem, and accidentally transported themselves to the magical world. Meeting friends and magical creatures throughout their journey, their destiny and their true identities are slowly revealed. They alone hold the power to restore balance in the magical world.

Why had they come back a second time to this place, when they had just escaped the night before? Was it the lure of the locked door? Was it just being too stubborn, knowing all along that they shouldn't have come back to this place? Time seemed to have no meaning now as the two of them sat huddled together in their prison. Surely they would perish as the wind and rain tried with all of its fury to enter the walls of their hidden room -- walls that would surely collapse, burying them forever with their secret, a secret known only by them and the keeper of the key.

Monus Flade has been selected as one of the 7 keepers of the keys by inheriting a key from his dying mother. At 12 years old, he befriends a talking encyclopedia, another keeper and not to mention a witch. It's his job to search for the additional keeper, try outsmarting his venomous stalker and maybe even open the door to another world. Doesn't sound too crazy, does it?
