Power. Some kill to get it... Some kill to keep it... Some kill to keep others from having it. Aside from being a Ranger's daughter, Aurora Amethyst Makepeace (yes, that is her real name, bless her ever-loving Mum) is about as normal as normal can get. She has to study hard to get through school just like most people, she has to do laundry and help with the family business like every other young person in her District, and she has to walk on her own two feet just like God intended. She has never raised a flag on the Flameseeker's visits to her settlement. She is absolutely certain she is NOT a Spark. As the only son of High Councilor Kederov, Dane Kederov is a fourth-generation Sparkblood. Not only does that make him royalty, it makes him an Inferno - one of the most powerful Sparkbloods on the planet. It also makes him an extremely valuable political pawn. He lives a life of extreme privilege, high above the tensions and riots that have been escalating between the Sparkbloods and the Norms... until his father is murdered after leaving an ominous message for him, and Dane is suddenly a liability. Someone wants him gone. Someone who has the resources to kill an Inferno. Someone who is determined to claim power for themselves at any cost. Dane flees the Capitol, flying into the vast expanse of untamed wilderness that surrounds the city state of Firestone. Two weeks later, Rory goes on a tracking mission to find whatever is killing Biddy Correl's hogs... and discovers a lot more than a rogue bear out there in the Wildlands. She finds her exact opposite, in more ways than one. With Sparkblood hunters on Dane's trail, and Rory's father going after the bounty, Dane and Rory wind up thrown together in a mad, desperate attempt to solve the murder of Dane's parents before the riots and inter-racial tension boil over into all out war. No matter what, their lives are never going to be the same.

Aliens... they came, they saw, they conquered. Our world was was nothing to them but an asset to be stripped of resources. Even 600 years after the majority of them departed, humanity still struggles to survive in the mess they left behind. Together with their horde of genetically altered life forms and the hostile environment they continue to manipulate, the few remaining alien castaways keep us subjugated and condemned to a life of abject misery. It's a world where only the strong survive. Some worship the alien overlords and some work as their lackeys, but all exist at their leniency. Yet one man has a plan. He is the Strintouri. He comes to unite the clans, destroy the overlords, and cleanse the world of their dregs. He brings hope to a derelict world, but to build anew he must first destroy.
