The world changed forever after the Awakening. It activated long dormant genetic code, giving people degrees of telekinetic abilities, known as Talent. As certain that power corrupts, the Dynasties arose. To the favored upper classes came freedom and luxury, to the lower classes repression and poverty. The Blue Uprising emerged to overthrow the oppressive Dynasty. Terra Lorr was a top agent for the Blue Uprising, a stealthy spy and deadly assassin. As atonement for blowing a mission, she was sent to a remote province to find a mythical 'Hooded Man', if he existed at all. What she found was Will Sall, an enigmatic man who already knew far too much about her. He opened her eyes and challenged her to reexamine the cause she served, all the while touching deeply her heart. But there existed an unsettling darkness about him, one that could upset the very basis of the society they lived in. This is their story. Cover by IvoryKeen.

He's smart. He's awkward. He's pudgy. He's Diego Domingo, a Filipino boy lost in the tumultuous world of adolescence who finds himself in the unlikeliest of places: a city that looks and smells a lot like 19th century Manila-except that it's populated by Filipino mythological creepies like aswangs, manananggals, kapres, and some revolutionary heroes he'd only read about in textbooks. ------ Cover and chapter art by Rica Diaz!

Night marches on the Everburning City. The life-killing mist enshrouding the world, the Gloam, clings to the walls. Golems, towering monsters of stone, shake the earth as they march. And the dead rise again, puppeteered by some distant, titanic power. For Corporal Valen Redgrave, on the watch at the outermost walls of the City, the night marks the end of the military life he has known. The idyllic simpering of the watch has ended, and Valen finds himself the pillar upon which his companions' courage rests. For Gwendolyn Aranhall, stewarding a work rehabilitation camp for youth guilty of petty crimes, the night heralds the dismantling of everything she has known. As the Gloam claims the world around her, and she becomes the last thing standing between children and monsters, she finds in herself a heart unbroken by her fear. And that resilience will see darker responsibilities laid upon her. For Crafter Olivia Polden, the fire she commands and the red coat she wears represents the single greatest power in the City. Weirder of a power that could doom the City as surely as the foes marching upon it, she will stand first among those sent to halt the invasion. And only then, begin to learn how to live with despair. There is no night in the Everburning City. There can never be. (Cover courtesy of Mahana258)
