In a world where magic permeates the air, the wrong storm will shatter the planet.

When junior mage and burglar Faryn lands a job with archaeologist Shaun Valerian—famous for edgy magic and breaking hearts—she thinks her career is made. But at their desert dig, Faryn finds she hasn’t been recruited to excavate dragon tombs. High above the sands looms a storm so massive it could destroy the world’s magic. Only a lost super weapon can stop the cataclysm, and only Faryn can rob the temple that hides it.

Also drafted into the expedition is new bride Cora. Smothering inside her loveless marriage, Cora has no interest in legends, until the desert’s enchantment infiltrates the magical bond that ties her to her husband. The rogue magic awakens Cora’s own latent talent—a fatal power forbidden for centuries. It could kill her, but it may be the only way to unlock the legendary weapon.

Nera, a plane-cursed thief, lives in Nexus, a city forever cast in twilight, constructed around a great Machine built by immortals to align all the planes together. Nera grew up an orphan on the streets, scorned and mistrusted for her fiendish heritage, and was sentenced to ninety-nine years of slave labor in the great foundry for a petty crime. She would like nothing better than find a way to somehow reduce her onerous sentence or remove altogether the cursed collar clamped around her neck.

Malek is a young apprentice mage with a bizarre and dangerous power that he struggles to control. After his teacher is kidnapped by a strange group of soldiers, he tracks the group to Nexus, seeking to rescue his master.

Their fates will be forever intertwined as they are swept up in events beyond their control and embark on an adventure that will span the planes.

When archeologist Gav Gendin finds an Ancient starship and a stasis chamber with a living member of the extinct alien race inside, he knows something strange is going on. Visions aren’t the way archeologists uncover artifacts, but that’s what guided him there.

The discovery should be his greatest triumph. Instead, it ends in disaster and leads to his son, Siv, being placed in cryogenic sleep.

A century later, Siv wakes to a declining world where you do what you must to survive. With the help of his father’s old neural-interfacing AI companion, Siv becomes the best procurement specialist on the planet. But his services belong to the criminal Shadowslip Guild who owns him. After a job goes sideways, the last thing Siv expects is to be offered his freedom. But there’s a catch. His target is so hot that foreign governments and religious extremists will risk war to get it.
