Nayara has lived inside a cage ever since her creation. She has always watched, full of jealousy and wonder, how the children of the World Below live with all the endless possibilities their freedom offers them. But being one of Father's favorites means she is not allowed out of her cage, unlike some of her brothers and sisters. Until she finally allows her dream to speak louder than her devotion to her Master. She escapes and she Falls, losing Father's blessing and protection and unwillingly unleashing her Sins upon the Earth she loves. Horrified by all the chaos and destruction her selfish actions brought upon Humanity, Nayara and her Ally, Lucian, take upon themselves the mission to capture all her Sins again, all the while avoiding detection by the Guardians - the Human organization bent on destroying all Sins and all the Keepers that Fall unto Earth, expert hunters of her kind. A job that proves to be even more difficult as she finds herself incapable of controlling her strange attraction to a certain green eyed Hunter, knowing she has to stay away before he finds out what she is and hunts her down, but not being able to keep her desire to be close to him at bay. For the first time ever since her creation, Nayara is faced with the freedom to make a terrible choice: capture all her Sins, save Earth from the destruction she's guilty of and be forced to Ascend back into her cage or finally live her dreams with her newfound independence, friends and, most of all, stay close to the powerful, impulsive green eyed Hunter that once saved her life.

There was many a rumor about the man named Trinket. One had only to ask about the dodgier sections of Newbird to understand that he was both feared and wondered at within the city. They said that he was a magician who could distort the very foundations of reality with his hands. They said that he was an illusionist who could turn a man's mind against himself just by looking him in the eye. They said that he was a thief and a trickster and all the unholies to boot. But when asked about his companion, the woman with the tin bird, no one said a word.

The city of Harborne is one with a troubled past. Its influence once wiped out an entire nation and, in return, it brought the wrath of the Dragon-Kin, of Bron and the Viper, down upon its walls. For over a year it survived, protected by the subtleties of its location, by the ocean and the rain, until its fate was eventually sealed by one of its own. In this world where everyone is born with magic, Edward Montgomery, who somehow had not a scrap of power within him, turned his heart to darkness and let the serpents through Harborne’s battered gates. And though this happened seven generations ago, there is still a saying in the city that survived Bron: “No magic leads to dark magic”. Which wasn’t a problem when Kiara was a child and could disappear from sight with nothing more than a simple thought. Only now she’s inexplicably crippled, with no magic to speak of, and the horizons beckon. She’s headed East, to the Mirror City, because they say a man can buy anything there, anything at all. And anything is exactly what she’d give to get her magic back. She’s willing to face dragons for it. Lucky, really, since Ben is tired of this power he cannot control, and he’s headed East too, to see if he can’t just sell his. **** Watty Award Shortlisted (Most Imaginative Setting) 2012 *****
