Zale is a cry baby. He can't help it. He just gets so mad that the tears start flowing, which makes him even madder. It also doesn't help that the world is sinking. Unpredictably, the land shifts and entire cities can disappear under the water. Zale and his family thought they were safe, until the water started to rise. They raced to higher ground and lost everything in the process. With no money, they find themselves in a world congested with flood survivors. They can't find work or even an apartment. Steel, the local underground boss, has an offer for them that will end with Zale's mother and sister in a brothel. It'll mean money and housing, but Zale won't let it happen. He offers himself instead if the group takes care of his family. Steel agrees. Besides, he wanted Zale to begin with.

Alexandra Berrington: the high school punk and troublemaker - the one who scares even the toughest of teachers and students. She is high school royalty, and anyone who forgets their place is stepped on. Most think she was born without a heart - only a black hole of cold anger where there should be compassion. Like all teenagers, Alex is just trying to make it to graduation and live the life she wants. That wish seems far off when her abusive ex-boyfriend shows up. With a nerd getting closer and closer to discovering her darkest secrets, graduation is the last thought on her mind. For once, Alex will choose, but this choice could be her last.

The deepest darkest prison on the planet is not where anyone would choose to start their day, particularly when they have a job to do. A princess and her personal guards fighting to stop a war, arrested for trespassing; an expert assassin stalking a merciless wizard, arrested for poaching; and a confused boy, utterly lost and severely concussed, arrested for failing to adequately explain who he was or how he came to be lying in a sizable crater. Together this unlikely, and somewhat unwilling, band of allies will perform daring escapes and battle an onslaught of mages, monsters, and malodorous thieves as they race across a continent to save two nations from mutual annihilation.
