In 2236, the world has largely settled after two centuries of magical apocalyptic events and heroic interventions.
The Icelandic Citadel of Knowledge oversees the Accorded Territories, the nations which rose from the ashes of The Aperien Event. The Citadel enforces a set of magically binding laws called The Accords. While those who live within the Accorded Territories can find everything they need, those who strike out on their own as Independents have no such protections.
Katerina Yaga, daughter of two powerful Aperiens, is tired of cowering in others' shadows. Deep in the untamed Siberian wilds, she searches for a forgotten warrior clan to help her stake her claim as a new Independent.
When every fantasy story comes to life and magic is real, can a man descended from darkness discover humanity is more than skin deep?
Gunnar knows only loneliness. Imprisoned for his vileblood heritage despite saving a mortal child, the unfortunate monster has spent the last ten years in solitary confinement. So when the girl he rescued returns as an adult lawyer and secures his release, the lifelong loner plans to go his own way… until his benefactor’s apartment is destroyed in hellfire.
Certain the attack was retaliation for his freedom, Gunnar flees with her to a frontier town of similarly outcast mythological creatures. But as his loyal companion begins to speak of love, he’s convinced his evil ancestry will ruin everything they’ve built.
Unable to understand his emotions and battling a vindictive foe, can this brooding antihero embrace a future he could never have imagined?
How can an invisible girl hope to be seen by the one person who matters most?
Lusa is a duster, a half Inuit, half tariaksuq shadow person, gifted with unparalleled stealth yet cursed to disappear when anyone looks her way. That’s until she met Res, a flamboyant duster magical performer who can see through illusions. Having friendship for the first time in her life, Lusa is inspired to dream bigger than being a petty pickpocket.
When renowned archivist Theodore Avialian hires them to steal the birds of truth from a legendary dragon, Lusa seizes the chance to change her fate. But when Lusa and Res become trapped in the dragon’s vast underground maze guarded by mythical giants, dangerous alchemy, and unexpected complications from Res’s past, theft becomes survival. As the stakes rise and sparks fly between Lusa and her best friend, she’ll have to risk more than her life—she’ll have to risk her heart. Because being truly seen by someone might be the greatest treasure of all, if she can survive long enough to claim it.
In a world of illusions and shadows, will love shine bright enough to bring Lusa out of the darkness, or will she fade away before anyone can truly see her?
