If you can't help your own people... Freelance reporter Alyn Naevon has started making a name for himself by covering stories about the oppressed people on different worlds. Vidline News, the top reporting service in the Inner Words, wants to hire him to report on the civil unrest on Tempest. It's the chance of a lifetime. Unfortunately, Tempest is the one world Alyn should avoid. Vidline News doesn't give these chances twice, and the assignment could lead to a coveted permanent position. Just go in, file a few reports, and get out. How difficult could it be? He might survive ... as long as no one on either side of the trouble looks too closely at him.

Katlyn is a member of a fae clan whose job is to stand the line between human and magical lands, a secret she has trouble hiding from her new human boyfriend even before she unexpectedly finds the fate of the world in her hands. She isn't magically strong, and unlike other fae who understand all animals, she only caught birds and cats -- not a good combination. However, when she isn't able to reach other fae for help, Kat and her boyfriend frantically fight the enemy with the aid of a lazy tom cat, an African gray parrot who only speaks in verse, and a wise-cracking cockatiel with a bad attitude. She's trying very hard not to think the world is doomed.

An angry goddess, a vengeful ghost, a spell that threatens the world . . . and one stranger who might save them all. Katashan left the service of the gods he mistrusted and abandoned the magic that had failed him when he needed it most. However, the gods aren't ready to let him go. At the end of a long journey to escape his past, Kat finds the body of a young woman who was sacrificed that the altar of a goddess he once served, and who now wants him to break the dangerous spell, no matter what the cost to him.

In a future filled with starships, a gathering of Norse gods sail far wider oceans than they had in the ancient past. When members of the Chinese pantheon abduct one of the Norse, it will take all of Odin's skills to convince an estranged Loki to help get her back.
