A storm god approaches and destiny follows with him. While the rest of medieval Karnassis is ushered into the industrial age by the outlanders of the Öd, the humble island of Dyma clings to the past. They prepare for a time honored tradition -- the arrival of the Silent Chorus, a divine tempest crafted by Zoreus, the great eidolon of storms. But little do its people know, more than a god is coming to their shores. Mylo has never wanted to leave his island. But with his sister gone and a bond to a demigod accidentally forced upon him, his love of Dyma will be tested, as well as his fear of the world. Verana is leaving Dyma behind to become a powerful summoner, with ambitions to defeat the king and rule all Karnassis in his place. But her brother's shadow still lingers on her, threatening to turn those ambitions to a darker purpose. And a cowardly outlander named Claude hides a devastating secret. And if revealed, it could spell destruction for all Karnassis. When these fates intertwine, events will be set in motion that will change the Etherea forevermore. Cover Art by Amrin A. Sloat

Tallon Wade is unraveling. Her photography career is thriving, but inside she's fading-untethered from the spark that once made her feel alive. When her best friend Mara convinces her to take a high-profile contract located in the remote and enchanting Canadian Appalachian Mountains. Tallon expects a creative reset. Instead, she finds a lake that whispers back. Her client, Adrian Grant, is desperate to sell the haunted property and escape his past. But the forest surrounding Echo Lake holds something older than guilt. Something hungry. And it knows Tallon. As the line between the living and the ancient dark begins to fracture, Tallon discovers she isn't just visiting Echo Lake-she's tied to it by blood. To survive the rising horror, she must confront a buried Dacian legacy of magic, sacrifice, and divine feminine power before the lake claims her completely. Gothic. Queer-inclusive. Laced with Romanian folklore and high-stakes romance. Some bloodlines don't stay buried.
