As a fugitive war experiment, Eira can’t afford to trust anyone. But when she’s saved from death by the most unlikely rescuer, a shapeshifting dragon, she has a new choice to make: keep running alone, or trust a stranger to turn the tides of her dark past.

When words fail, bring out the guns, swords, and death spells.

Marina is the daughter of Tsar Alexander the Cruel, the most powerful warlock. She’s also a princess of the Court of White Rose. The only problem is that she’s mundane—she has no magic.

On her sixteenth birthday Marina fled from her father’s tsardom to the revolutionist side of Muscovy, and five years later she’s doing all right, working as a seamstress in the United Workers’ Factory. Despite the political police, the never-ending witch hunt, and her best friend living as an orange cat, she’s happy. She gets along with her cottage mates and is even seeing a guy… until the city blows up, she’s implied in the sabotage, her guy turns out to be an enemy, her friends are murdered, and an alchemist maniac hunts her down for a blood vendetta.

Alex Kellan has a problem.

It’s Christmas, and Kellan finds himself pursued by two stalkers, their intentions as shadowy as the winter night. But these are no ordinary men – they’re mages intent on recruiting Kellan for the Nexus Games, a lethal tournament held in a parallel world of magic.

Will he gain enough magic to win the next few games or will the challenges prove too great? The clock is ticking, and in the Nexus Games, quitting isn’t an option.
