Ellis has been sold short by her family all her life, living in the shadows. That didn't stop our favorite Drow from finding her own path, even when it led straight into danger on the dark streets of the city of angels. It started out so simple, watching over the night dwellers in the big city, including her misguided brother.

Someone in the Academy wants her gone—again—and this time, forever. The deeper she digs into her past, the more dangerous her second chance at some kind of life becomes.

Is Redthorn Industries, the town's biggest employer at the center of the troubles?

Robin Sullivan doesn't remember how she died. Just that she crawled out of Lady Bird Lake wearing someone else's Sunday best and no pulse.

Halsey and Brigham Ambrosius' task in the English countryside isn't quite over. The barghest may have been slain, but they have one task remaining. Figure out what happened to the people in the abandoned village of Coningsby. Frankly, the mission isn't over until they clean up the barghest's mess because we all know, Halsey always completes her missions. It's a good thing the copper orb can help heal the locals from what was a deadly monster poison. But how to do it covertly without letting civilians know who or what Haley is?

Or will a hidden menace move in while she's gone?
