Meriton Grey, a well-established and talented seamstress who holds no interest in love or romance, has somehow garnered the attention of the most eligible and infamous bachelor in all of Ingary, none other than the Earl of Serendipity himself. Well-known as a notorious womaniser, Meriton has no interest in the self-absorbed rake, if anything she cannot stand him, and she makes that sentiment as clear to him as she can. When he still refuses to acknowledge, let alone take her rebuttals seriously, she instead offers him her friendship, and though it knocks him for a loop, he tentatively accepts and they form a tenuous friendship. With that friendship, comes the Earl's bodyguard, the mysterious and interesting Keanu Tipton, and of course against Meriton's better judgement she feels a flicker of something maybe ever-so-slightly romantic for him. Unbeknownst to Meriton, the Earl's attentions for her now aren't entirely platonic, and when before it was just some fanciful flirting, it may now have developed into something more real and tangible, something someone like the Earl is not used to feeling at all. How will a young lady with no experience in love and the complications that accompany it, cope with the attentions of two men? Simple, she has no hope at all.

This is Isla's quest for the truth, and her slow spiral into becoming her very own worst nightmare. When the gods ascended thousands of years ago, they left behind the divine gift of theurgy. Its powers still echo amongst men, but run fiercer yet in the blood of kings and queens. And one of them will stop at nothing before Isla is dead. A betrayal lures her out of refuge and into her journey home, where she must unmask her enemies before they unmask her. The theurgy that she has had to keep hidden for many years can be her greatest ally or her most lethal foil. Only her wits can guide her through the dangerous politics of the Surikh court.

Decades after modified radiation bombs decimated the earth, the survivors of New Australia live in fractured Zones-regions ruled by scarcity, controlled by gangs, and governed by fear.
