A New Fantasy Series and a New Kevin Brooks

Just got a few additional new books. Details below:

The Road of the Dead by Kevin Brooks

On a storm-ravaged night, a 19-year-old girl is murdered. Three days later, her two younger brothers set out in search of her murderer. Cole, 17, is a dark-eyed devil who doesn't care if he lives or dies, while Ruben, 14, is a strange child who sometimes, inexplicably, experiences sensations above and beyond his own. Their journey takes them from their half-gypsy home on a London junk lot to the ghostly moors of Devon, where they hope and fear to find the truth about their sister's death.


The Secret Country, The Hidden Land, and The Whim of the Dragon by Pamela Dean

In the Secret Country trilogy, cousins Patrick, Ruth, Ellen, Ted, and Laura have played "The Secret"-a game full of witches, unicorns, a magic ring and court intrigue. In it, they can imagine anything into reality, and shape destiny. When they suddenly find themselves in Secret Country at the start of the game, the Country is on the edge of war. Can they stop the war? Will they ever get back home?
