(Belimai Sykes is many things: a Prodigal, the descendant ...)
Belimai Sykes is many things: a Prodigal, the descendant of ancient demons, a creature of dark temptations and rare powers. He is also a man with a brutal past and a dangerous addiction. And Belimai Sykes is the only man Captain William Harper can turn to when faced with a series of grisly murders. But Mr. Sykes does not work for free and the price of Belimai's company will cost Captain Harper far more than his reputation. From the ornate mansions of noblemen, where vivisection and sorcery are hidden beneath a veneer of gold, to the steaming slums of Hells Below, Captain Harper must fight for justice and for his life. His enemies are many and his only ally is a devil he knows too well. Such are the dangers of dealing with the wicked.

(Volume Three. Once Kahlil had been entrusted with a holy ...)
Volume Three. Once Kahlil had been entrusted with a holy duty: to watch over the Rifter and protect him in the world of Nayeshi until the Issusha’im Oracles decided whether to summon the destroyer god or kill him while he remained a mortal in Nayeshi. But Kahlil failed his duty, slipping away to rescue his sister from a fire and in that moment allowing the Rifter to cross into the world of Basawar. Desperate, Kahlil followed the Rifter. But the Great Gate had been shattered, and Kahlil suffered catastrophic injuries to both his body and his mind during the crossing between worlds. He has returned to Basawar, but his home is not as he remembered it—inasmuchas he can remember anything. With all signs of the holy sect he once served now wiped away, there is no one to remind him of his purpose. In his wrecked condition he accepts the only help offered and takes work in the noble Bousim household as a spy and an assassin for handsome Captain Alidas’ro’Bousim who patrols the seething underbelly of the capital city of Nurjima. Now, after two years of faithful service, Alidas sends him on a final mission: to infiltrate the Lisam household and stop Ourath Lisam and his circle of noble conspirators from assassinating the Fai’daum leader, Jath’ibaye.

(Five years after abandoning the Sagrada Acedemy, Elezar G...)
Five years after abandoning the Sagrada Acedemy, Elezar Grunito has become infamous in the sanctified circles of noble dueling rings for his brutal temper and lethal blade. Men and women of all ranks gather to cheer and jeer, none of them knowing Elezar’s true purpose. But a violent death outside the ring marks Elezar as a wanted man and sends him into hiding in the far northern wilds of Labara. There, creatures of myth and witchcraft—long since driven from Cadeleon—lurk in dark woods and prowl the winding streets. Soldiers and priests alike fear the return of witch-queens and even demons. Elezar soon learns that magic takes many forms, some too alluring to resist, others too terrible to endure. But just as he begins to find his place in this strange new country, the past he left behind along with his school days returns to challenge him once again.
