The
Spider’s
Friend
Murdered shamans. Tortured gods. A shadowy villain behind it all. Maru knows the culprit is one of his brothers but not which: a week ago, he didn’t know he had a family. An army of zealous bison waits in the wings, preparing to invade, and the only person with any solid information is a talking plant who can’t get the humans to listen to him.
WE
In the dream of a desert, a witch brings them together: embittered siblings dueling for one throne; a demon, an athlete, a sorcerer; foreigners from a distant land; a barbarian, a scholar, a kidnapped princess.
The Elsewhere Riddle
Once upon a time, humans waged war against elves, trying to take magic and their shared homeland for themselves. They lost and wound up vassals to masters who pretend they don’t exist. It’s puzzling that the gods seem to be trying to unite their peoples two hundred years later. As if something bigger than their feud is coming.
The
Foreign
Sorcerer
A foreign sorcerer has come from afar to Liath-Tamren, greatest metropolis in the world. His mission: ambiguous. As a member of a cabal so secretive many doubt that they exist, and possessed of powers unique to them, uncanny is Japhet’s normal. But none of his orders make sense, and his fellows are being cagey with him.
Into
the
Darkbower
30 years ago, Esmerelda landed a spot on an all-star squad, investigating the rarest kind of case: a criminal who appears to have a faerie for a bodyguard.
