A dark foe. A forbidden love. A deadly, high-seas quest. Mercenary sailor Jack's past comes back to haunt him when his crew receives a commission during the height of hurricane season. Charged with returning the all-too-familiar Prince Valory to the capital by way of the isles, Jack and schooner Windjammer battle storms and sea-monsters alike in Oceana's treacherous waters. Jack's new patron, however, is no ordinary nobleman. A hardened soldier and powerful commander, Valory boards Windjammer to scour the isles for signs of the mysterious new threat at Oceana's borders: an evil that burns innocents alive and smashes ships to pieces. Yet Jack isn't without secrets of his own -- secrets that unravel under the growing intensity of a forbidden attraction to his patron. Forced to reclaim his lost title, Jack comes face-to-face with the past he thought he'd outrun. As Windjammer races to defend Oceana from invasion, he and Valory must work together to untangle the threads of the dark alliance threatening their home, crew, and kingdom -- or risk losing everything in the process.

For years, the faceless terror known as the Hand of Fate has been secretly manipulating the port city of Reyza for her shadowy ends. Those she favors rise in status while those who betray her are never heard from again. When the opportunity to eliminate a powerful dynasty presents itself, the Hand of Fate conspires with a sadistic diplomat who shares the king's bed. Together, they hatch a plan to assassinate their rivals. The plan is flawless-every variable calculated-except for one. On the night the Hand of Fate's hired assassin makes his move, a notorious thief is also making his. Jarle Jadien has had it with the gray-haired harpy whom he serves and succumbs to the greatest temptation of all: The Ensther estate is home to the king's betrothed and a fortune in jewels. When the risky heist takes a disastrous turn, Jarle finds himself in possession of a treasure he has no intention of keeping. Avaren Ensther is beauty and intrigue in one, and a keeper of secrets that reach far beyond Jarle's world of whiskey and disrepute. Reyza's infamous thief has had his heart stolen from under his nose, but time will tell if his sirenic temptress proves worthy. Within the city walls, a retired war-hero investigates the conspiracy and attempts to uphold justice, but his efforts may not suffice to prevent an all-out war. Too many vengeful plots have festered; too much blood spilled. As the moons reach a cataclysmic alignment, unleashing the terrible force of the tides, neither hero, criminal, nor all-powerful monarch; can escape the tendrils of fate.

A girl with secrets. Secrets on which the very fabric of space and time are threatened of their existence. "What she did was a crime"- is what they'd all say. But was what she did, really what she is being accused of? Is she really a criminal; a Multiversal Criminal? Harbouring knowledge unknown to any civilisation, about Gods of the Multiverse, she awaits a fate like no other. But there's always more to her actions. A man is on the lose, seeking the 'perfect system' for the greater good. But when it costs innumerable lives, is it really so noble? And a new organisation called IMG, is unknowingly dragged into this chaos, leading to an unfathomable event that changes all of their lives. The Galactic Patrol, the body of law and order, is depressed over the turn of events. But even when the sky seems so dark, some light shines through the gaps. And this time, it would change the Multiverse once and for all. Would death be their end? Or would there be something after death itself, that'd pose a greater promise? This is a race against space, time and what lies beyond. Be prepared, because what you might witness next may change everything you know, or believe!

Being ill & impoverished is nothing new to Skye Palmner- the upsurge in a radioactive wasteland made sure of that. Seventeen Years Ago, more than half of Tier Three's Newborn population were killed by a volatile radioactive wasteland. Those who survived were affected severely. Their cellular make-ups rapidly changed and warped into a strange form of cancerous cells. Scientists called them the X-cells. Previous studies illustrated how rapidly the cells were morphing, making them extremely combustible- easily killing the victim. Being the poorest society of the three Tiers in the European Union, the kids weren't given any special aids, leaving most of them to suffer and die out. That is until the Director General of the European Union decides to step in. His Lab Techs have been engineering possible cures for the X-cell, and have been taking these kids to experiment on. Skye Palmner isn't exactly enthusiastic, she's more so dubious, as she holds no trust for the Government. When they take her and her mates away from their Children's Home and to the Research Facility, Skye's doubts are augmented. She senses that something sinister is boiling beyond the surface, and what exactly is happening to those who get "treated"? She won't ever know until it's her turn.
