Wren is afraid of marked ones. Their steely demeanors and the wings on their backs send a cold shiver down her spine. She knows they don't have it easy. The very lucky ones end up as guardians of the caravan. The unlucky ones end up reaver food. Just when she's gotten used to their presence, the childhood friend that abandoned her suddenly reappears, sporting wings on his back and harboring dark secrets. Wren can't just forgive him for the awful things he did to her, and she tries to distance herself, but she is forced back into his life when she runs to the other side of the caravan to escape the arranged marriage her family has plotted for months. But the people on the other side are destitute, hungry, and angry. They're resentful of the guardsmen who do nothing to protect them, and of the merchants who pay them to turn their heads. And some of them are angry with her. She finds herself trapped in a conflict she did not ask to be involved with, for a goal that was never hers. An unpleasant surprise forces her back home just in time for an uprising to erupt, then spill into her backyard. With her best friend nowhere to be found and her parents gone as well, her childhood adversary may be the only one who is able to help her.

It was only the beginning, that day when the marketplace erupted in flames and their lives changed forever. A near-fatal trek across the desert comes to an end in one of Terres' biggest cities, and with it comes new challenges. Wren still resents Rannok for a crime he committed years ago, one she's not sure she can ever forgive him for. Elyn struggles to find his way in a world the size and scope of which he's never seen. And Armand's life is just starting to get back on track when he crashes into them in the most unexpected of ways. But there's discontent growing in the city. Whispers of women who control everything and of a genocide meant to snuff them out before their reign even begins. But in war, the victor writes the history books. They'll have to do battle with themselves and with each other to find out who comes out on top.

Hello dear friends. I'm Doctor Josef R. Daneeka, inventor of the Lips, Nips and Hips line of cosmetics and the Warsaw Skin-E diet pill, world renowned surgeon, generous lover of my wife, and friendly neighbor. This screed, this angry little book of lies, exists solely to discredit me, my family and my work. I have no doubt that my corporate enemies (Procter & Gamble, I'm looking at you) are behind this propaganda. I tell you now, ladies and gentlemen of the jury: I have never spliced human DNA with extraterrestrial DNA; I have never manufactured human clones; I am not an opiate addict, and I most certainly do not keep my wife locked up in my cellar with a rhesus monkey. The (most likely invented) teenager protagonist herein, is a thief and a con artist who will play upon your sympathies in order to manipulate you. Moreover, his tale is nothing more than seedy, smut. While I, like any good citizen, cherish my gay comrades, the deviant author of this work wants to infest your children's minds with his debaucherous story of teenaged gay sex and drug abuse. Abstinence, dear friends, is all that I preach. Abstinence, and a deep love for God. Please, friends, avert your eyes. Oh, and for you ladies out there. Can't seem to get rid of those pesky zits? Fear not. Krazy Koncealer can blitz those zits, lickety-split. Permanently! Available at any pharmacy near you! Fantabulous cover art by : @Ferret-bird

Autumn is desperate to escape Mae's hardscrabble world, but survival soon takes precedence. Vicious outlaws plague the drought-stricken town, and deadly fear grows with the mystery of missing children.
