It is 1982 in Chicago, and the cracks in the world are starting to show. A cult obsessed with an ancient serpent is stealing artifacts, bodies are vanishing from the morgue, and a comet is hurtling toward Earth with an appetite for destruction.

Trapped in a feline body, stripped of his powers, and forced to rely on a skepticism-prone detective and a teenage bellhop with a baseball bat, the universe’s most chaotic entity has until Christmas Day to save the world.

He just has to finish his nap first.

Somewhere on a fringe planet, the last starship of an alien species is waiting. Marine Sergeant Coleman finds himself called back to service for a covert mission. The objective is simple.

When viking crews set out to do something insane, they want a chronicler who can spin the crazy into the heroic. Ansgar runs into one band of brothers intent on doing something truly stupid. They need a skilled storyteller, as their last five were all devoured, drowned, or hacked to death soon after joining. That new recruit has to be capable of surviving long enough to tell the tale, though.
Ansgar doesn’t want some troll to rip his arms off. But damn, it’s going to be a great story if he survives.

Magic died the night the war ended.

Now rot creeps across the countryside, and the sickness it carries is claiming Arine’s father.

When she sets out to find a cure, she’s captured by a king who believes her bloodline holds the key to restoring magic—and makes her father’s life the price of her obedience.

Forced across the Decayed Lands, Arine must rely on two reluctant allies: a prince bound to the throne that hunts her, whose presence blurs the line between enemy and something far more dangerous, and a calculating warrior whose secrets could destroy everything.

As trust fractures and desire deepens, Arine discovers the loss of magic has warped the land and its creatures beyond recognition.

But the magic wasn’t simply lost.

It was severed.

And restoring it may require Arine to bind herself to the very forces that destroyed it.
