Your body?
Wynn is a carpenter in a small town in Northern Rhosan, but after he is torn from his family by ruthless Victors, he'll have to learn to survive beneath their rule. When he is forced to hunt with the silent, stoic Dyfan, the two men forge a bond that might be enough to shelter them from a life of violence and cruelty.
Your people?
Basia and Danae are the children of nobles in the elegant, educated Phecean Confederacy. When Basia starts to discover just how horrifying the lives of slaves in her country are, she’s faced with a terrible choice: does she step up to reshape her home at the risk of losing her closest friend, or does she keep quiet and let nothing change? Dealing with the difficulties of her budding gender identity would be hard enough without the lives of millions on her shoulders.
Your mind?
Deep in the Tundra’s frozen heart, the daughter of a medicine woman learns to make poison. The dreams it gives her are full of blood, war, and terrible purpose, but when Iniabi’s village is raided by foreign soldiers, it’s all she can do to stay alive. Iniabi will have to use all the Tundra has taught her as destiny pulls her across the continent, but when it comes to the fate of her people, it’s not enough just to survive.

Wynn and Dyfan have escaped the pits of Cwm Or, but there is no safety in their homeland, Rhosan. When a desperate flight leaves them stranded on the other side of the world, they'll be forced to choose between fighting for something they don't believe in or being outcasts again.
Your future?
Danae and Basia have vowed to end slavery in Phecea, but vast forces stand between them and their goals, and they risk their lives and careers when their fight is complicated by a violent organization claiming to have the same vision. They'll need to stand together to see this through, even when feelings drive a wedge between them.

There is a spy among the Emai. It's Iniabi's job to protect her people even as she wages an impossible war against two stronger nations, but the spy is far closer than she knows and wrapping ever tighter around Iniabi's frozen heart.

Iniabi has known all her life that she would marry Danae, but that doesn’t make their new partnership any easier. It’s only complicated by past lovers and enemy attempts to tear them apart. They will need to come together before Iniabi’s final challenge is laid before her. Will all the power of Phecea and the Emaian Tundra be enough to end the Emaian peoples’ oppression?
Your heart?
Dyfan is lost in the wake of Wynn’s absence, struggling to find a purpose while his lover teaches old magic to Liria’s enemies. He longs only to reunite—however he can— but both foreigners have a part to play in the battles to come.
Your honor?
General Lucilius Nonus always serves his Imperator without question, but he feels the stain on Lirian honor caused by the Imperator’s newest acquisition—a mage from the distant land of Ingola. Master Mage Mors Dernier is much more than he seems, but even he is unable to predict the chaos Basia Mavros will make of all their careful plans.
