Once upon a time, I was Vesper Quill, a lowly lab rat using my seer magic and engineering skills to repair broken appliances at a Regal-owned corporation. These days, I’m one of the most infamous and wanted fugitives in the Archipelago Galaxy, along with Kyrion Caldaren, my partner.

Now we’ve journeyed to a distant planet that’s supposed to be a refuge for truebonded couples, but when new enemies appear, we’re once again in grave danger.

My name is Zane Zimmer. To most folks, I live a seemingly charmed life as a Regal lord and the heir apparent to the powerful, wealthy House Zimmer, and the gossipcasts breathlessly follow my every swaggering move across the Archipelago Galaxy. I’m also a powerful psion capable of telekinesis, telepathy, and telempathy, and my deadly skills and prowess with my stormsword have made me the golden boy of the Arrows, the Imperium’s elite fighting force.

Henrika claims to have answers about my father’s death on a Section 47 mission years ago, and she has also created a horrific new weapon capable of killing even the strongest paramortals, which makes her my number one target.

Most spies take a break for the holidays, but not me, Charlotte Locke. As an analyst for Section 47, a secret spy organization, I normally use my magical form of synesthesia to uncover lies and track paramortal criminals from the comfort of my cubicle. But tonight I’m going out into the field, along with my partner, Desmond Percy, a powerful galvanist. Instead of enjoying Christmastime in the city, I’m in a German castle, dressed like a toy soldier and masquerading as a waitress at a swanky Christmas Eve party.

At Mythos Academy, everyone knows exactly who I am: Rory Forseti, Spartan girl and the daughter of Reapers. Even though I fought alongside my cousin Gwen Frost to save the mythological world from Loki and his evil Reapers of Chaos, I'm still the most hated girl at the academy because of all the horrible things my parents did. I had hoped that this school year would be different, but the other kids just won't let me forget about my parents.  

As a thief, I stick to the shadows as much as possible. But when the head of the Sinclair Family picks me to compete in the Tournament of Blades, there's no escaping the spotlight - or the danger. Even though he's my competition, Devon Sinclair thinks I have the best shot at winning what's supposed to be a friendly contest. But when the competitors start having mysterious "accidents", it looks like someone will do anything to win - no matter who they hurt.

It's not as great as you'd think, living in a tourist town that's known as "the most magical place in America". Same boring high school, just twice as many monsters under the bridges and rival Families killing each other for power. I try to keep out of it. I've got my mom's bloodiron sword and my slightly illegal home in the basement of the municipal library. And a couple of Talents I try to keep quiet, including very light fingers and a way with a lock pick.

As a thief, I'm good at three things: hiding in the shadows, getting in and out unseen, and uncovering secrets. I put these skills to work for the Sinclair Family, one of the magical mobs that run the tourist town of Cloudburst Falls. Everyone knows Victor Draconi wants to take over all the other Families - and kill every last Sinclair. What they don't know is that I'm on to him, and no way will I let the man who murdered my mom get away with hurting all the other people I care about.

Verwandte Seelen entfesseln geheimnisvolle Magie! Vesper Quill arbeitet für den mächtigen Großkonzern Kent Corp. Als sie erkennt, dass dessen neu entwickelte Raumschiffserie erhebliche Sicherheitsrisiken aufweist, ist ihr Name plötzlich in aller Munde – und steht ganz oben auf der Eliminierungsliste von Kent Corp. Von Feinden umgeben, muss Vesper um ihr Leben kämpfen. Dabei kommt ihr der Elitesoldat Kyrion Caldaren gefährlich nahe, doch statt sie zu töten, beharrt er darauf, dass zwischen ihren Seelen ein magischer Bund besteht – einer, der ihnen beiden zum Verhängnis werden könnte.

Abenteuerlich, magisch und romantisch! Kronprinzessin Gemma rennt die Zeit davon. Obwohl sie eine gerissene Spionin und Mentalmagierin ist, konnte sie den geheimnisvollen Feind noch nicht enttarnen, der ihr Königreich Andvari bedroht. Inmitten der Vorbereitungen für ein spektakuläres Gladiatorenturnier heckt Gemma einen kühnen Plan aus. Doch schon bald gerät alles außer Kontrolle: Während ihr die Macht über ihr Königreich entgleitet, muss sie ihre Beziehung zu Prinz Leonidas retten und das Geheimnis um ihre Magie entschlüsseln. Sonst stirbt ihre Familie und ihre geliebte Heimat wird zerstört.

Kronprinzessin. Clevere Spionin. Mächtige Mentalmagierin. Gemma Ripley von Andvari hat viele Gesichter, und um ihr Königreich zu schützen, muss sie all ihre Fähigkeiten vereinen. Nachdem Gemma einer weitreichenden Intrige des feindlichen Reichs Morta auf die Spur gekommen ist, sucht sie auf einem politischen Gipfeltreffen nach Beweisen. Dort ringen mehrere Königreiche um den brüchigen Frieden zwischen ihren Ländern. Nur die mortanische Königin Maeven und ihr gut aussehender Sohn Leonidas sähen Zwietracht unter den Anwesenden.

Gemma, die Kronprinzessin von Andvari, liebt hübsche Ballkleider und Juwelen. Zumindest denkt das jeder. Allerdings versteckt sie hinter dieser Fassade die Tatsache, dass sie eine mächtige Mentalmagierin ist – und eine Spionin. Um herauszufinden, wer Andvaris königliches Bergwerk ausraubt, begibt sich Gemma mit dem loyalen Gargoyle Grimley auf eine geheime Mission in das feindliche Königreich Morta. Dort warten nicht nur höfische Intrigen und mordlustige Adelige auf die junge Spionin, sondern auch Gemmas persönlicher Erzfeind: der gerissene und gut aussehende mortanische Prinz Leonidas.

As a warrior-in-training at Mythos Academy, I've battled the Reapers of Chaos before—and survived. But this time I have a Bad, Bad Feeling it's going to be a fight to the death. . .most likely mine. Yeah, I've got my psychometry magic, my talking sword, Vic, and even the most dangerous Spartan on campus—Logan Quinn—at my side. But I'm still no match for Loki, the evil Norse god of chaos. I may be Nike's Champion, but at heart, I'm still just Gwen Frost, that weird Oracle girl everyone at school loves to gossip about.

My name is Gwen Frost, and I go to Mythos Academy, a school of myths, magic and warrior whiz kids. And now there’s also Loki, the evil god I helped set free against my will. On the bright side, I finally got a date with Logan Quinn, the hottest—and deadliest—Spartan at Mythos. But I should have known it was destined to end in disaster.

Just when it seems life at Mythos Academy can't get any more dangerous, the Reapers of Chaos manage to prove me wrong. It was just a typical night at the Library of Antiquities—until a Reaper tried to poison me. The good news is I'm still alive and kicking. The bad news is the Reaper poisoned someone else instead.
