Íse is a seer, who sees death before ot strikes. She foresees the execution of Silken Thomas Fitzgerald, along with five other men, one of whom she feels her heart would shatter if he were to die the death she has foreseen. But prophecies can be prevented and there is nothing she would not do to save the man in her visions from this brutal end. When the young chieftain Dermod Ó Sullivan Beare arrives in Cairbre, he proves a welcome distraction from her awful nightly visions of foresight and yet she feels she must resist him out of loyalty to a man she has never met... Íse begins to choose a different path, perhaps a different man but then she is captured. She finds herself a prisoner of James Fitzgerald, her father's greatest enemy. Prophecy and the man from her visions await, and while Walter Fitzgerald becomes her rescuer, it is only she who can save him from the death she has foreseen. A sweeping historical romance with fantasy elements set in 1533 in Tudor Ireland during the Silken Thomas Rebellion.

The river is a god. The god is hungry. For fifteen years, Osogó has carried its dead. He is the ferryman---the silent man who rows bodies across the water in the dark and asks the living nothing. He walked into the river once, to drown. It refused him. He has never learned why. So when a warlord's wife steps onto his jetty with a fistful of gold and a destination she will not say, he expects only another crossing. He does not expect the girl folded into the bottom of his canoe: eleven years old, a scar on her shoulder, a mouth that will not close, and more of this war already behind her than most men live to see. She tells him his boat smells of dead fish. She asks the questions no one can answer. And against everything he has made himself into, she is impossible to ignore. In a drowning country where the water takes whole villages and the war runs on children, a man who buried his soul at the bottom of the river is about to learn what it costs to come back up.

The screens on the sides of buildings were already on, advertising Particle City as if it were a perfect world. Ads of the Emperor and his dazzling smile. Posters of "happy" street-sweepers. And on the side, there was a large image of a Particle City worker facing the city's symbol with these words in-between: 'Til Death Do Us Part. A couple of days ago, those pictures would've reassured her. Comforted her. And now, it only clawed sharper at the odd ache in her chest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the dystopian society of Particle City, happiness is shoved so far down a person's throat, it's hard to tell what's real and what's not anymore. Most everyone there is internally crumbling, but under their commander, humanity is simply a suggestion. So they put on a happy face and do their work. Astra is one of the thousands upon thousands of victims trapped in this vicious cycle of fake smiles and oppression that seems unbreakable. When she finds out the secrets of her beloved society, things unravel into a rebellion she never saw coming.
