Sawyer William Vincent is the best card sharp in Hell’s Kitchen for one reason: he remembers everything. Every tell, every shuffle, and every tic is burned into his brain. But lately, his perfect recall is showing him things that shouldn’t exist—flickers of red and black armor, the weight of a hero's mask, and the silhouette of a father who doesn't know he's alive. In a world that feels like "static" on a dead channel, retired billionaire Frank Douglas is haunted by his own ghosts.

One bride is gone. He should be looking for who took her. He should be asking why she left. Amira was discarded. Diarmuid O'Sullivan told himself she'd be found, that a debt would be paid, that a King never forgets. He never considered that she might not want finding. Two brides remain. Niamh, who has learned that obedience is its own kind of weapon. Selene, who refuses to stop pulling at the thread of a dead woman nobody will name. Neither of them will stay behind a locked door while he hunts.

I’ve spent my life hunting the daemon who killed my parents. I swore long ago to do anything necessary, including summoning the deadly creatures to hunt for clues. When Azimuth, a sweet-talking daemon with ice-blue eyes and a voice like butter, shows up dangling the knowledge I seek in return for a high-risk job, I feel compelled to accept his offer. Sure, I’m wary of the helpful daemon, but the prize is too tempting to pass up. So what if my pulse races when he touches me or I can’t stop thinking about how his lips will feel on my skin?

How do you imprison the world’s most powerful supervillains and make sure they can’t escape? The Trench, a supermax prison at the bottom of the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean—toss them in and throw away the key. “Inescapable” doesn’t even begin to describe this place. Even if I could get past the power dampeners and multiple layers of security, where am I going to go? Oh yeah, did I mention I am now the Trench’s newest inmate because I refused to give up being a masked crimefighter?

One of the best-loved composers of all time, Dvorák rose from rural origins to become not only a great but an influential composer. The first composer to put his native Bohemia on the musical map of the world, he was invited to do the same for America. One result was the famous "New World" Symphony, which made him a household name across the globe. Writing music of irresistible color, lilt and peasant vitality, he was also a melodist-in-a-million. This portrait-in-sound follows a lovable and in many ways a very simple, man from hay cart to imperial palace, from tragic loss to heart-warming joy, to pigeon-raising and world celebrity.
