A Darkness Has Fallen Over Valindar. Twenty years ago, the god of Light abandoned his order of elite channelers, the Luminar, leaving them scattered and hunted to extinction. In their absence, the Eternum Syndicate rose from the shadows, erasing every trace of the old power. Salvynd and Rogue want nothing to do with any of it. Two street gamblers in the rotting Lower District of Meridas, they survive on luck, charm, and keeping their heads down. Until a chance encounter with Vee, a noble-born girl who doesn’t belong in their world, ignites something forbidden: the Light, long thought dead.

August is a cynical, unambitious prince with a dark secret: he can see the dead. Haunted by the relentless anchored spirits, he’d give anything to be free of the curse. But it's not the ghosts he fears most, it's the truth that could unravel everything: he’s a wielder—one of the very people he's been raised to hate. Felix is brilliant, driven, and dangerous—a rare triple-wielder with outlawed magic and a vision for a better world. He's proud of who he is, but in a country where magic users are feared and punished, he knows being discovered means death.

Everett Starner is a nobody. He doesn't play sports. He's not smart enough to stand out in school. He's not really good at anything except video games, which would be fine ... if they didn't randomly trigger his epilepsy. That is, until The Interface: the newest gaming accessory that puts the game in your mind. When he plays Realms of Glory, he doesn't watch Everstarr level up and score loot, he is Everstarr. He becomes the somebody he can never be in real life. It's fun at first -- his clan amasses top-notch loot and rises in the ranks. Everstarr makes a name for himself: Lord Starr.

A man waiting for a job interview. A chip waiting to escape its bag. Two very different lives, connected by one strange moment. Darkly humorous and eerily introspective, Something Chips At Me is a surreal exploration of fear, ambition, and the strange poetry of everyday life. R. A. Vie invites you to question what it really means to be alive and what happens when even the smallest things dare to think for themselves.

Eric Simms had always lived life in the fast lane. But after a devastating accident while attempting to qualify for the Indianapolis 500, he wakes up in a hospital room not remembering the race or his injuries—only that something is terribly wrong. In place of his own memories, he finds vivid recollections of other lives—lives that span across time and space. From a carpenter in 1980s Chicago to a soldier on the beaches of Normandy, from a butler in Victorian London to a cowhand in the untamed Colorado frontier, Eric experiences them all with terrifying clarity.
