In 2895, the world is barely holding together, thanks to apocalyptic disasters and scientists who took "What's the worst that could happen?" way too seriously. Meet Skyleen Winters, a girl stuck with a family legacy she never asked for... and a man who's really just a side character. Kay. The brooding, too-cool-for-this, "I-could-kill-you-with-a-paperclip" heir to her family's rival guild. She hates him. Follows him around anyway. Or wait-he hates her... but follows her around anyway. Honestly? Hard to tell. Now, Skyleen has to survive Kay's cryptic one-liners, brutal training, and the unsettling feeling that he either wants to kill her... or doesn't? We'll see. With dangerous science, family feuds, and one very inconvenient rivalry, Skyleen's biggest challenge isn't just surviving-it's figuring out who she really is before it's too late.

Trissara, a Lolth sworn drow, awakens in a mysterious chamber filled with an unnatural shimmering light. She is shackled, her head throbbing with pain, and overcome with a sense of panic without understanding why. As her eyes adjust to the dim light, she sees distorted figures and writhing tentacles dancing in the air. She struggles to recall her past, but her memories are fragmented. She knows she is a hunter-a Gloom Stalker-but feels lost and guided only by a "Dark Urge" within her that pushes her to move forward and defend herself. This urge seems to control her actions, driving her towards unknown goals. She is on a living Nautiloid ship controlled by Mind Flayers, a setting filled with horrors and madness.
