When a deadly flood threatens to burst through the walls of the capital city, the Madame Suprema flees for safety and Gloria is forced to take her place in disguise. In this world full of corruption, politics and impending doom, can Gloria lead the people she loves to safety before a wave of water destroys them all?

The Outlaws: Scarlett & Browne by Jonathan Stroud: When runaway Scarlett McCain discovers a bumbling boy trapped on an upturned bus, her plan is to set him free and make a quick getaway.
