Skogaban has always dreamed of being a storyteller, and when he’s forced to flee his hometown with his best friend, Dacey, he finds that his strange magical abilities may actually control his destiny. But there are others that are threatened by new magics, and he finds himself pursued by a powerful necromancer that is killing off other mages in a bid for power and control. Is magic really worth it? Does he even have a choice anymore, or do he and Dacey have a shot at a peaceful life together?

Liana Incubore is dying, and nothing will save her. Neither magic nor medicine can cure the illness ravaging her body, so she is left with no other recourse than to do it herself. By combining her independent research of medicine and magic, and with the help of her war-veteran sister and a group of magic students, she seeks to invent a new form of magic to fix herself, and maybe fix the world.

Liana has succeeded in cheating death, crafting a new blend of magic and medicine she calls Biomancy. But what does eliminating the natural order of death do to a person, and how does she deal with those who disagree with her methods and goals?

Life is simple in Badger’s Haven. Every Badger has their job, and Sable Badger’s job is to defend his home from anything that threatens it. Sable Badger has failed at that job. With his people dead at the hands of shining golden Elves that descended from the stars, Sable Badger must chase after them into the void, seek his vengeance, and bring honor to all the dead left behind. But vengeance cannot be found without help, so friends must be made. And maybe those friends can help mend the holes in his heart. And maybe there is greater purpose than revenge. And maybe this burning rage deep within can be controlled, if not sated.

Ulrik’s magic is coming back, but with it come crippling headaches, blackouts, and visions. The visions tell him he must find a cavern called the Spectral Abyss. At the same time, he finds that the necromancy guild is actively hunting him. Once again, he must flee his home. Everything is converging at once: the guild he thought was gone, the threats he thought were handled, and his unique magic’s tie to the original roots of magic.

Liana Incubore has left a scar on the world, and nothing can heal it. People are working to find out what happened, and somehow all eyes point to a powerful mage with the secret to cheat death itself.
