My name is Cheyenne Summerlin - remember that name. Somebody should. The world can't know I'm a Drow halfling. Not yet. I barely have these powers under my control, but time's up. I'm about to take magic for a test drive. Want to come along? The black ops government group believes it can run my life...but I have plans of my own. Watch out, magical evildoers - I'm about to crash your party. But will my training be enough?

Cheyenne is leading the Drows at last. But there's still a lot that could go wrong. Bianca is still cursed and could bring the blight down on them. The Nimlothar forest could burn and all the Drow with it. But wait, there's more....  

What does a Drow do when the Crown doesn't want her to complete the trials? If you're Cheyenne Summerlin, you work with your allies and try even harder to complete them. Just for fun. That's how a Goth Drow does it, anyway. Finishing the trials may be key to stopping a hidden war that's bubbling to the surface. Being a Drow halfling just got a lot more complicated. Random portals are popping up, and they may put Cheyenne and her family and friends in danger. Then there are the innocents...can Cheyenne put a stop to this madness before things go horribly sideways?

More magic, more mayhem. Things are going BOOM in unexpected way for Cheyenne, including her car. Cheyenne's life is changing, but is it for the better? She's learning how to control her magic, but still has a long way to go before she can complete her trials. Will she have enough time to master her powers and learn new spells before she takes on the trials? And what is big, bad daddy L'zar keeping from her? She's going to find out one way or another. She has work to do, and nothing gets in the way of a Goth Drow.

Cheyenne's got 199 O'gúl activators. Take one down and crush it around - 198 to go. Can she get it all done before all hell breaks loose? Someone is causing magical explosions at shops throughout Peridosh and precious items going missing. A magical thief is up to no good.

Cheyenne Summerlin is a Goth Drow with a lot of secrets. She just doesn't know it yet. And they're all starting to spill out. First, there are more halflings just like her. More magicals equals more problems. Then there's her father. L'zar Vendys is a complicated Drow who makes enemies way too easily. And then there's the truth her mother has been hiding from her. That little bomb may be the worst of all. Will Cheyenne be able to handle everything she learns? Will she be able to gain more control over her powers?

When friends are enemies and enemies are friends, it's hard for Cheyenne to know who to trust - especially within the FRoE. Things are changing with Cheyenne's mom and not for the better. A new rune appears on Cheyenne's skin, and they know they have to do something. 

The end to the fight is nigh. Cheyenne has accepted who she is and she's done playing nice Drow. Time to find Corian and stop the spell L'zar is casting before he creates portals between two worlds that could be wide open forever. Can you believe he's really doing this? Or is he being controlled by someone with darker intentions?

The secret contained the heart of Ambar'ogúl and a coin placed on the Crown's altar. But not without her father's help. Will L'zar Verdys risk everything for the daughter he just met and the throne he never wanted? Cheyenne will have to take a trip to the other side to see the destruction in L'zar's world and learn more about him and the rebellion. L'zar's rebels are ready to fight to stop the coming war and the creeping blight, and they need Cheyenne to join them. Will her halfling blood be the edge they need?

A puzzle box continues to stump Cheyenne. Time to look elsewhere, but will the Goth Drow find the answers she needs without it? Classes continue, and the FRoE is finally taking the hint that her work has to be extracurricular activities. She has just as much to learn from them as she does from college. Their lessons are just a lot more dangerous and deadly. Who can Cheyenne trust while she learns to control her growing powers? Then there's her father. Can she give him another chance?

Her Drow aunt is off the throne and all of Ambar'ogúl is looking to Cheyenne to guide them. Can the Goth Drow find a replacement for the throne? Better be fast. There's a long list of dangerous to-do's and not a lot of time.
