All that Shada desires is peace and freedom. What she has is fear and hunger. She’s a servant on the run from her cruel master, who is determined to lock her away.
Then comes a chance at a new life. Alone in the vast, heartless city of Ronia, she meets the Lady. This enigmatic spirit makes her an offer: Shada can accept her dismal lot… or undertake a quest to find Ronia’s vanished god.
For the gods disappeared without a trace in the long-ago age of legend, leaving the worlds of humans to chaos and war. Without its god, Ronia’s once-mighty empire is crumbling toward an abyss.
To save their people, Shada and her ragtag companions will journey to the ends of the universe. But first, they must escape Ronia alive.
Many in this city of blades, poison, and shadow mean to stop them at all costs. If they fail, slavery or death await them… and their world will fall into darkness.

Toume d’Nezuhmy only wanted to be a pilot, but when the high priestess of the Drakhen clan offers him a curious mission, he must make a serious choice. Should he choose wrong, he could wind up dead, or worse. Failure could destroy the only alliance that protects his clan from destruction.

“Twisting and turning, Mud won’t let itself be defined or outsmarted…I’m hopelessly addicted.” — Reader’s Lane

Adem would do anything to stop himself from killing…again.

Ages after the middle realm was destroyed by war between the gods and demigods, the creature Adem remains alone, cursed to guard a magical box for all eternity–and to spill the blood of anyone who tries to steal it.

When a demigod offers Adem what he longs for most—a soul of his own—Adem doesn’t hesitate, and he certainly doesn’t ask questions.

But demigods never give freely, and Adem’s soul will come at a price. To become human, Adem must first journey to the Underworld and rescue the demigod’s human love.

But surely any price is worth it to become human … right?
