Though the elders in charge of assignments aren't impressed with Arvin, the war chief himself, Evrick, finds his alchemy skills and unique way of solving problems interesting-and possibly useful. With the help of his brilliant wife Visteria-who has goals of her own-Evrick plans to raise Vastard from its humble standings into a legitimate Fourteenth Kingdom, equal to Greenshade and Tyrrane in power. He sets Arvin to solve a mystery locked below the sand in an ancient underground ruin, a source of power unlike anything any of them have ever seen. When Arvin and Visteria make a breakthrough, their celebration is cut violently short by the arrival of a vicious, unkillable race of beings that quickly ravage the human army: the Chromium. Now Arvin and Visteria must use all of their skills to thwart the rise of the Chromium or the Fourteenth Kingdom will fade before it ever has a chance to shine. And the chromium will spread across the Thirteen Kingdoms destroying all in their wake, and possibly beyond. Their time is running out.

The seeds of a legend grow in tales told around campfires and in whispers in dark corners of taverns. Magdalena Verran is a legend, a hunter who never misses her mark or loses a bounty. But now that legend is about to come to an end. For over three-hundred years, she's harvested souls as an indentured servant to a pair of bickering gods. With her team of horses and an impressive magical blue scythe for a hand, Mags is poised to deliver the last soul she owes, then her debt will be settled and the gods can go pick on someone else for a change. But life-even one centuries old-is never that simple and reaping leaves behind scars on the families and the harvester. Before she can turn in her scythe, Mags's past transgressions catch up to her in the form of a trio of young criminal wannabes. Saving them just might be a way to balance her sins. But between the involvement of the gods and the trio's own recklessness, Magdalena finds her skills-and patience-tested. Somehow Mags must find a way to avoid angering the gods further, complete her new bounty without adding more blackmarks to her soul, and save the trio of young adventurers who seem determined to wind up dead. Pulled in multiple directions, Mags's legendary skills are put to the test. One misstep and she endangers the lives of her young companions and her own soul.

Which is more deadly: the secrets we keep from each other, or the ones we keep from ourselves? Stefani Palmieri is a woman on a mission. A long-hidden technology, the Bridge, consumes her every waking moment, a compulsion that seems to come from outside her. All she knows is she has to get it working as fast as possible, while ignoring the sense that she is not herself. Struggling to adjust to a life of school, a home, and a family, Marri Palmieri misses her time as a homeless orphan. At least then she didn't feel the inexplicable urge to kill her adoptive mother Stefani, nor did she have visions of a strange man following her, a man no one else can see. Karl Yonnel has lost the two things that mattered most: his life in the Lancer Corps and his relationship with Stefani. Dishonorably discharged for doing his duty, he ekes out a living ratting out criminals for money to police who'd just as soon see him dead as a traitor.

As Coldgarden's long-buried secrets come to light and the city begins eating itself from the inside out, Stefani, Marri, and Karl will have to contend with threats both human and alien in their desperate efforts to save their dying world.
