==Keeper of the Lost Cities==
===Book 5: Lodestar===
The Neverseen kidnap Wylie Endal and ask them questions about his mother’s death. Marella’s mother was a witness of her death, so she asks her for information. Marella wants Mr. Forkle to trigger her ability like he did with Sophie’s in exchange for the information she got from her mother. Mr. Forkle tries to trigger it and tells her that she will soon know if it worked. Marella than tells them that Cyrah produced starstones and gives them the one her mother got from Cyrah.
===Book 6: Nightfall===
Marella has manifested as pyrokinetic, so she offers Sophie to help her rescuing her parents, because the Gorgodons, hybrids created by Lady Gisela as guards, can be killed with fire. But in Nightfall, Lady Gisela’s facility for her plans, they only find the bones of the burnt Gorgodons and Sophie’s parents aren’t there.
Sophie finds out that her parents are kept in the original Nightfall in Atlantis, built by Vespera Folend to experiment on humans. Sophie, Grady, Marella, Tam, Linh, Dex, Fitz, Biana, Keefe and their bodyguards find Will and Emma Foster guarded by a Gorgodon that was kept alive. Vespera and Fintan awaited them, put Grady can mesmerize Fintan and make him knock himself out. Marella protects Grady, after Vespera released the Gorgodon, until Grady can mesmerize it and knock it out too. Grady and Marella go after Fintan and find him still unconscious while the others leave Nightfall with Sophie’s parents. Fintan is locked into a cell of ice, where he can't use his pyrokinesis.
===Book 7: Flashback===
Fintan realized that Marella is a pyrokinetic and asks Sophie and Fitz to let him train her to keep her ability under control, when they meet him in his cell. He also tells them that the Neverseen are planning something for the Celestial Festival. Marella agrees to be trained by Fintan, because she is afraid she might lose control over her ability one day.
Marella and her friends go to the festival to search for suspicious activity. The warden on Alvar’s ankle shows that he is moving to the gate of Everglen, so they leave the festival to stop Alvar from escaping. After Alvar claimed that he just heard noises, Gethen, Vespera, Umber and Ruy appear and Ruy traps them in a force field. Hearing Vespera’s voice, Alvar’s memories return. Wylie destroys the force field, but the Neverseen have only been an illusion and Alvar is gone.
Ro sniffes a trace that leads them to the gate of Everglen but Ruy is able to trap them again and Alvar opens the gate for the Neverseen and four of their ogres march out of the opening ground. The Neverseen lead the group to a glade and Vespera removes the illusions that hid a secret troll hive, Alvar unseals the hive and Umber is crushed by the door as the newborns break free. Vespera, Gethen and Ruy light leap away, declaring it isn’t their fight, leaving Umber, Alvar and the ogres behind. Marella fights one of the newborns and the ogres help them kill all newborns that have already hatched and Tarina reseals the hive. 
The Neverseen transmitted everything that happened in Everglen live to the Celestial Festival, so the High Council now knows that Marella is a pyrokinetic. But due to the self control she showed during the fight, they allow her to practice with Fintan.
===Book 8: Legacy===
Sophie, Wylie, Maruca, Ro, Sandor, Flori and three councillors go into the throne room of dwarf king Enki to attract the Neverseen there. Marella follows them with Keefe, Linh and two dwarfs. Lady Gisela has taken Enki and Flori as hostages, but the two dwarfs free them. Lady Gisela then forces Tam to shroud the whole room in darkness and Marella summons a ball of fire to dispel the shadows. But Enki made an alliance with the Neverseen and orders his dwarfs to knock everyone except Sophie and Keefe out. Tam and Glimmer, who switches the side, can overpower Lady Gisela and save everyone.
=== Book 9: Stellarlune ===
Sophie wants Marella to offer Fintan a noxflare from his house in exchange for the secrets in his cache. During one of her pyrokinetic lessons with him, he agrees to show her one of the secrets inside it, if she gives him a noxflare. In that secret, Fintan is burning some noxflares with flames in different colors and saying that something is missing. After Marella puts a cube of ice with his noxflare in it into his sight, Fintan offers Marella to show her the other secrets and tell her the truth about what happened to her mother if she tells him what was missing, should she ever find out. Then he proceeds with the lesson and shows Marella how she can make fire having the same colours as in the secret.
When Biana finds the starstone from Cyrah that leads to Elysian, a place with a source of immense power, she decides to go with them to find the source before Vespera or Lady Gisela find it. But Vespera used her illusions to hide the source and they have to go back without finding it. The next day Sophie asks Marella to come to Havenfield. Sophie brings her, Fitz, Keefe, Maruca and Sandor to the caves where Vespera awaits them, because Sophie has agreed to go with her to Elysian, so that she can break the illusions.
After removing the illusions, they only find stones and noxflares, but then Marella realizes that she has to burn them like Fintan did. After that she takes one of the stones, sets it on fire and holds it above the noxflares. A huge jet of flame ignites, the stones disappear and a gate appears in front of them. Behind is a seemingly endless vaulted corridor, Sophie uses Dex illusionsbreaker and the corridor, another illusion, disappears and a dome appears high above them. Lady Gisela awaited them there and Sandor attacks her, but she has a device to control troll newborns. Two of them shoot out of the ground and take Sandor with them into the underground, while Maruca summons a force field around herself, Sophie, Fitz and Marella.
Vespera challenges Lady Gisela, but Gisela made Vespera underestimate her and kills her with no remorse. Keefe attacks his mother, but she dodges it and summons more troll newborns. Maruca dissolves her force field and they all attack Lady Gisela and her trolls. But suddenly their abilities don’t work anymore, not even Gisela’s ability. A woman in gray clothing appears and says that she is the power source they are looking for.
