Because she trusted him, the fate of the world is in her hands...

Icon of the United States of America, New York is Cara’s city—until one sunny afternoon when she wakes up in a beautiful meadow. Light clouds float in the blue sky, a mild breeze dances in the branches of a maple tree, and the air smells of freshness. But New York has disappeared.

When Cara opens her eyes, she finds a complete stranger standing too close for comfort, and he seems to know all about her. If she wants to find her way back home, she must stay with him. Obnoxious as he appears, she has to turn to him for protection when confronted with enemies she never knew she had.

These enemies know of an ancient prophecy. They believe Cara is the only one who can change it, and they will do anything to stop her.

As Cara tries to outwit and outrun them, her heart starts to beat for the stranger. Only to discover that his heart is dead.

Blade Heart is a standalone novel but takes place in the same world as The Lord of the Clans, a few months before The Lord of the Clans.

From the back jacket:

NORMALLY, WHEN THERE WAS NOTHING TO DO, HE LISTENED TO THE SILENCE. The Silence was very faint here. Almost drowned out by the sounds of the mundane world. Did people in this polished building understand how noisy it was? The roar of air conditioners and computer fans, the susurration of many voices heard but not decipherable.... This was the office of the transEarth Institute, an arm of the Black Corporation. The faceless office, all plasterboard and chrome, was dominated by a huge logo, a chesspiece knight. This wasn't Joshua's world. None of it was his world. In fact, when you got right down to it, he didn't have a world; he had all of them. ALL OF THE LONG EARTH.

From the inside jacket:

The possibilities are endless. Just be careful what you wish for....

It is the prototype of an invention that will change the way humankind views the world forever.

The Case of the Displaced Detective: The Arrival is a science fiction mystery in which the brilliant hyperspatial physicist, Dr. Skye Chadwick, discovers the existence of alternate realities, often populated by characters we consider only literary.

In a knee-jerk reaction, Skye rescues Holmes, who inadvertently travels through the wormhole to our universe, while his enemy plunges to his death. Unable to return without causing devastating continuum collapse, Holmes must stay in our world and adapt.

Meanwhile, the Schriever AFB Department of Security uncovers a spy ring working to extract the details of—and possibly sabotage—Project: Tesseract. Can Chadwick help Holmes get up to speed with modern investigative techniques in time to stop the spies? Will Holmes thrive in our modern world? Is Chadwick now Holmes' new "Watson"—or more? And what happens next?

Amber is the one real world, casting infinite reflections of itself — shadow worlds, which can be manipulated by those of royal Amberite blood. But the royal family is torn apart by jealousies and suspicion; the disappearance of the patriarch Oberon has intensified the internal conflict by leaving the throne apparently up for grabs.

In a hospital on the Shadow Earth, a young man is recovering from a freak car accident; amnesia has robbed him of all his memory, even the fact that he is Corwin, Crown Prince of Amber, rightful heir to the throne — and he is in deadly peril...

The five books, Nine Princes in Amber, The Guns of Avalon, Sign of the Unicorn, The Hand of Oberon, and The Courts of Chaos, together make up The Chronicles of Amber, Roger Zelazny's finest work of fantasy and an undisputed classic of the genre.
