Beware goddesses giving gifts. Especially ones you didn't intend to ask for. Mark and Julie managed to stop the regular profaning of the goddess' ritual. But that doesn't mean everything is coming up roses. What pleased The Mother angered The Mad God. He is angry with Mark and Julie, and his acolytes are using deadly magic against them, but sorcery leaves no fingerprints, no facial recognition, and no evidence of who is responsible. Mark and Julie will do anything for a lead back to their enemies. But anonymity is a fragile shield.

The die is cast. The demons have mobilized to attack the Empire, and Joe and Asina are behind enemy lines. For 150 Earth years, Joe and Asina have been clandestinely helping the humans of Calmena prepare for the coming war. In that time, the Calmenans have gone from barely Iron Age to the brink of space. From scattered starveling communities hanging on by their fingernails to proud independent city-states. But now the demons are pushing enough troops through the Seven Gates of Calmena to wipe out the human cities in passing. Joe and Asina will not allow that to happen.

The die is cast. The Empire has caught the fractal demons marshaling troops for assault, and there is no avoiding the decisive Armageddon between humanity and the fractal demons. Both sides have their strengths and there is no certainty about the outcome. While the Empire is free-falling towards open war, Grace is tasked with nudging the odds a little bit, ferreting out traitors to humanity, bribed with the seeming of the most precious gift possible but with a nightmare catch. Then at the moment of the first skirmishes, personal tragedy strikes, clearing the way for a long-delayed impulse, which results in horror and more personal tragedy. But out of the disaster, a new Grace emerges - one ready to stand on her own, fully realized as a potent force in her own right.

Throwing off the Demonic Slave-Masters! Joe and his native wife Asina have spent the last twenty years helping the natives of Wimarglr Continent on Calmena throw off their overlords, both demonic and human. Now it is time to spread the rebellion to the rest of Calmena, which requires bringing the art of shipbuilding to a world that has never known a boat more advanced than a canoe. But the demons are not willing to give Calmena up easily, and a counteroffensive is on the way that will rock the free humans to their limits
