Years after Earth's desolation, humanity finds itself on Acrora -- a planet that might just be their new home. The Terraformation is well underway, and in five years, they will be able to start living above the ground again. Enter Rory, an assistant to the mind who brought their race to Acrora -- Doctor Arion Ross. After spending most of his existence living and working with the doctor, he's ready to have just a bit of fun on his own. That is until his games lead to the discovery of a series of deaths happening around the new human colony. His new mission: help Doctor Ross bring everyone out of their bunker and to a more sustainable environment. The problem: he doesn't believe in his new mission. The bigger problem: his friends are slowly learning about his job, and they can't help but get involved. It wouldn't be such a big deal if thousands of lives weren't at stake, but Rory finds himself ready to sacrifice them all to save just one. --------- Best ranking: #136 in sci-fi!

[2021 WATTYS Winner] Giovanna joins a handsome nobleman to save a friend from an arranged marriage, but they discover a plot that may have victims of Venice's Black Death rising from their graves. * * * As a child, Giovanna Visconti learned the arts of bloodletting and elixir brewing from her father with an intent to simply support his work, not take it over. But when he falls ill from the pestilence that's been ravaging Venice for months, she reluctantly dons the beaked mask of the plague doctor. Vowing to protect her father however she can, Giovanna hides him away and sees her first patient--the handsome, but alarmingly feverish Matteo Barozzi. Although she successfully treats this son of a high-ranking official, in a careless moment Giovanna fails to properly conceal her identity. The only reason she isn't tossed into a dank jail cell is thanks to the young man's honor and feelings of indebtedness. The association between the charming aristocrat and the clever commoner should end there, but when Giovanna's dearest friend goes missing right after her betrothal to the Doge's son and amid strange reports of nighttime attacks, violent commotions, and inexplicable behaviors in the community, the only person Giovanna can turn to for help is Matteo. Together, they must carefully navigate Venice's increasingly deadly canals to uncover a sect peddling false cures and a smuggling plot involving the highest levels of government or risk the entire Republic falling victim to something even worse than the plague: the risen dead.
