Fear the dark. Bar the doors. Don't breathe a word. Wait for the Hooded Men to save you. The people of Nictaven live in fear of the night; governed by magic no one save a few can control, in a land plagued by demons and cannibal tribes, and isolated from all other worlds for centuries, they're right to. Only the Unspoken, a secretive guild of warriors linked with the land and its magic, provide any safety when darkness falls. For centuries, it has stayed like this. But in an abandoned crypt worlds away, Jordan Haverford is about to change that. It wasn't quite the holiday he had been hoping for. Plunged into a world where who you are and what you believe can kill you, a world of demons and knives in the dark and wars fought from behind the doors of the rich, Jordan's gentle Oxford upbringing isn't quite sufficient preparation. Instantly a pawn in a deadly game, separated from his sister and watched from the shadows by an assassin with a vendetta, he finds himself in the company of an Unspoken who has an uncanny knack for finding the Gifted - and Jordan can't seem to get rid of him.

In a post-industrial age, centuries after the revolts against the patriarchy, Gynoecium stands as a powerful city with rich culture, strong social structures, and absolutely no men -- or so it would appear on the surface. Turmoil hits the city, when the Empress, the illustrious and progressive Del Quinn Ari who wished to reunite men and women, is poisoned at one of the city's greatest celebrations. Panic ensues as the women (or 'woes' as they call themselves) of Gynoecium struggle to find a new leader, while a young Matron prison-keeper named Cody, harbours the very man accused for the Empress' death. Meanwhile, two teens leave the city to escape the pressures of their society: Saxil, a boy who has lived his whole life presenting as a girl, and now hopes to find freedom as a man on the farmlands; and Pate, a girl who wants nothing more than to escape the dark legacy of her family name. Both find themselves in the strangest company, as a Witch hosts them in its magical and ominous garden -- a garden that seems aware of their presence, starved for their tears, and desperate that neither Saxil nor Pate should ever leave... Disclaimer: while this book often discusses gender in a binary sense, it is helpful to read from a spectral perspective.

Thousands of years ago, one of Sherath's distant ancestors refused to take on a quest. The task has to be done - it's vitally important - but nobody knows exactly what it is. Their race is dying out, and time is running out; and until Sherath comes into his full powers, he can't do it anyway. They have been waiting three hundred years for the saviour spoken of in an ancient prophecy to lead them on a long journey to adulthood and open the doors for them. But their saviour, and the key to success, turns out to be a volatile teenager from modern-day Earth. Sherath has hundreds of years of education in how to use the Power he will have as an adult, with little access to it as yet. Farinka, on the other hand, has access to vast amounts of Power, but no training in how to use it, what can and can't be done, and what is dangerous to try!
