When magic begins fading from the world of Aetheria, Aureus, an ordinary archivist, is forced to become a fugitive when he's wrongfully accused of stealing it. 

For Éadaoin, the loss of all magic means facing past sins when a friend she cursed comes back for revenge. For Kairos, it means using his natural ability to slow time for a last minute reflection. For Ashe, the failure of magical technology becomes a chance to survive grief and start again. But something terrible looms on the horizon for everyone in Aetheria... 

The Deathless, immortal creatures only vulnerable to magic and bent on ending all life, are coming.

Without magic and the fae courts to fight the Deathless, humanity will not survive unless Aureus can escape his former home and journey into a dying world to discover the secrets of his past.

Aetheria Falling is the first in a series of three short story collections that explores just how personal the end of the world can be.
