My name is Theo, and I’m a resident of Oasis, the last habitable area on Earth. It’s meant to be a paradise, a place where we are all content. Vulgarity, violence, insanity, and other ills are but a distant memory, and even death no longer plagues us.

I was once content too, but now I’m different. Now I hear a voice in my head, and she tells me things no imaginary friend should know. Her name is Phoe, and she is my delusion.

Or is she?

—This omnibus contains the first three novels of the Frith Chronicles, all of which are also sold separately—

“Building on the fantastic story and characters of the previous installments, Coliseum Arcanist is a brilliant continuation of the Frith Chronicles as well as a triumph in its own right.”

Alphonse finds an ally in Myrta, a farm girl who sees air, every molecule in every pulse of breath or blast of exhaust. With her talent, she can evade patrols on the industry’s grounds to help Alphonse in his mission. But people in the industry have grown wise to Myrta’s power—and now she’s marked for death.
