Summary:Β In an act of desperation, Finley turns toward Death. But itβs not the end she expected. The disembodied head of a creature she doesnβt know appears at the darkest hour with a strange request: Find his body and stitch Death back together again. Not everyone wants Death back together again, whereas others are ravenous for it. Without death, who are they? Where do they go?

Summary:Β The land is tainted. The gods have been afflicted with a poison that only humanity can concoct: odium. Others have been created from it. One such god is the reason why ashes stir. Ander is a man burned at the stake that bears his own hatred and he wields it as a weapon as he cuts across an unforgiving land. Along the way, he will meet others with their own afflictions. He will also meet another, one that bears a curious and old mark. One of hope.

iii. Oath to the Buried (intro in progress)

Teaser: The dragons are not gone. Our cities are built from their bones and blood. Our kings and queens are crowned with their teeth. Somewhere, their hearts stir and the cities begin to quake. Some remember.
