The Gifted Lands have believed for a hundred years that the Rivenwild only takes. No one returns. No one is meant to.
Then a slate arrives at the Rim, carved with words that shouldn’t exist — and First Speaker Seradin Halveris must decide whether to protect a century of comfortable certainty, or the truth that’s about to break it apart.
Below the...

The outbreak has a name now. So does the woman they need to stop it.

Mara Hale has spent her life being studied, contained, hunted, and renamed by people who believed her body mattered more than her consent. Now the illness born from what Vale Sanctuary did to her is spreading beyond every wall built to hide it. It’s crossing state lines,...

Gene Harper had fourteen dollars and eighty-two cents, no job, and a sock soaked through with hallway puddle when he sat down at a public library kiosk and asked a tax-software chatbot how to fix his life.
