( Rhiow seems a perfectly ordinary New York City cat. Or ...)
Rhiow seems a perfectly ordinary New York City cat. Or so her humans think - but she is much more than she appears. With her partners Saash and Urruah, she collaborates with human wizards, protecting the earth from dark forces and helping to maintain the network of magical gateways between different realities.

They are a race of warriors, a noble people to whom honor is all. They are cousin to the Vulcan, ally to the Klingon, and Starfleet's most feared and cunning adversary. They are the Romulans -- and for eight years, Federation Agent Terise LoBrutto has hidden in their midst. Now the presence of a captured Starfleet officer forces her to make a fateful choice -- between exposure and escape. Between maintaining her cover -- and saving the life of Dr. Leonard McCoy. Here, in a startlingly different adventure, is the truth behind one of the most fascinating alien races ever created in STAR TREK -- the Romulans.

( To give Nita a vacation from magic, Nita's parents pack...)
To give Nita a vacation from magic, Nita's parents pack her off for a month-long stay with her eccentric aunt in Ireland. But Ireland is even more steeped in magical doings than the United States, and Nita soon finds herself and a host of Irish wizards battling creatures from a nightmare Ireland--a realm where humankind is the stuff of tales and storybooks, and where the legends and monsters of the country's mythology are a deadly reality.

(Even though she's on vacation at the beach, young wizard ...)
Even though she's on vacation at the beach, young wizard Nita is still on active duty, available to assist any other wizard in distress. So when Nita meets the wizard S'reee, she is bound to promise help. Nita is needed to face the Lone Power, who is threatening life in the oceans. But although S'reee is a wizard, she is also a whale. Nita will need to shapeshift into a sea creature to join her. And when Nita learns that the final confrontation will take place 16,000 feet below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean, she begins to get uneasy. Explaining day-long absences to her curious parents will be tricky, too. Diane Duane's Wizardry books are marvelous combinations of fantasy, fast-paced adventure, and realism. As Nita crafts spells and prepares for what could be the ultimate sacrifice, you'll be pulled into her wondrous world. Christina Moore's vivid narration brings out the suspense and magic of each moment.

( Under the careful guidance of the catlike mrem, the cit...)
Under the careful guidance of the catlike mrem, the city of Niau has grown into a prosperous trading center. It lies, however, far to the east - on the very edge of the kingdom of Ar - ever vulnerable to invasion by the mrem's legendary enemies, the Eastern Lords. Ordered to guard Niau from an attack that may never come, the mercenary Reswen - a veteran of the great battle at Cragsclaw - accepts his king's will. Working undercover, he rises to become chief of the secret police, aware of all the city's intrigues. When a group of mysterious merchants arrives bearing gifts and hoping to strike a trade agreement, Reswen has his suspicions. Before it's too late, he must discover the truth behind the visitors' smiles, and allies himself with a beautiful courtesan-spy and a wayward wizard...whose rusty spells may be Niau's only defense against the sinister sorcery of the all-powerful Eastern Lords.

( Something stopped Nita's hand as it ran along the books...)
Something stopped Nita's hand as it ran along the bookshelf. She looked and found that one of the books had a loose thread at the top of its spine. It was one of those So You Want to Be a . . . books, a series on careers. So You Want to Be a Pilot, and a Scientist . . . a Writer. But his one said, So You Want to Be a Wizard. I don't belive this, Nina thought. She shut the book and stood there holding it in her hand, confused, amazed, suspicious--and delighted. If it was a joke, it was a great one. If it wasn't . . . ?

(It was sheer chance that Nita Callahan came across So You...)
It was sheer chance that Nita Callahan came across So You Want to Be a Wizard. She was in the nonfiction section of the children's library, hiding from bullies, when the title caught her eye... soon after when she met young Kit, he too had a copy of the book. And so they joined forces- two fledgling wizards with the power to open world-gates to adventure... In So You Want to Be a Wizard, Nita and Kit visit an alternate Manhattan where sentient taxis prowl the streets. But they attract the attention of a dark power there, and then, forced to reach out for help, accidentally summon a white hole that returns to their own world with them. The white hole (his real name is unpronounceable, so they call him Fred) bears an urgent message: the ultimate volume of wizardry- the Book of Night With Moon- has disappeared. Unless it's found, the Lone Power may claim all the alternate worlds for his own. So it's up to them to rescue the Book. or at least give it their best shot. In Deep Wizardry, Nita and Kit aid a beached wounded whale wizard named S'reee- and find themselves faced with danger on a cosmic scale. The venerable cetacean heeds their aid against the Lone Power, for at this point in spacetime, whales are the guardians who keep the evil one imprisoned on a mountain rising out of the ocean depths. Now, however, the Lone Power is threatening to break free once more. And only a wizard willing to make the supreme sacrifice can hope to stop him. In High Wizardry, Nita's younger sister, Dairine, stumbles into a sorcerous adventure of her own via a computer that has a software version of the book on wizardry- and more than enough power to get a neophyte magician started. But when Dairine leaves Earth for her personal Ordeal- the rite of passage all new wizards undergo- she embarks on a worlds jumping odyssey that leads to more excitement than she ever anticipated. and more danger than she's ready for. Because the Lone Power and his minions are in deadly pursuit!
