It's the year 398 of the Ninth Era, an age dominated by the Federation's authoritarian control and by the insidious influence of megacorps like Mercator Group. Human-piloted, mass-produced machines known as Frames define the battlefield, surveillance programs monitor your every move, and no one alive remembers what it was like before it got this way. It's in this tightly-wound, bloody ecosystem that four lives collide. The Knife, a mob enforcer with the ability to bend matter, ends up a courier for a piece of tech she's been trained not to ask questions about. Angela, a Frame Pilot Specialist with the Ministry of State Affairs, fights for justice only to find deafening silence. Grey, her teammate, just wants to keep the squad sane. Major Falwin, their superior, investigates a crime scene and finds a Knife-shaped ghost. Nobody has all the pieces to the puzzle-not until Frames drop, guns are pointed, and the nature of reality becomes a question mark. In this new, unrelenting conflict, there won't be any winners, only more devastation.

His kingdom under siege, young Aelvar Byern, King of the island Nivelle, struggles under the weight of his leadership, the death of his father and brother, and the bloodthirsty pirates now surrounding his home. Help from the mainland may not come, and it's up to Aelvar to preserve his father's legacy and his people. The royal family for nearly a millennia have held Nivelle. It won't fall now. Least of all to the pirates. Not on Aelvar's watch. Aine, illegitimate daughter of noble man and Nivellian General James Vandermeer, has been locked away in the palace dungeons for nearly a year, imprisoned during the previous king's reign, accused of witchcraft. Forgotten by the kingdom, Aine longs to see the sun again, clouded with visions of a temple priestess, her arm branded with the mark of the Maiden Fate. Everything changes when the king visits her far below the palace, offering her freedom in exchange for her help. Daniel, slave to the noble Nivellian house of Vandermeer, has never known his parents, the only mark of his past a strange tattoo on his right arm, not too different from the mark of the pirates. If he's not careful, if any one ever gives his arm a second glance, he might very well be brought to the Nivellian authorities for execution, for involvement with the very enemy sieging their kingdom. A king born from the shadow of his father, a young woman imprisoned for a murder she doesn't know if she committed, and a slave with a mysterious heritage, learn there may be more to Nivelle's fate than they thought.
