The duke who fears nothing… Kate Howard, the Duke of Howard, is known throughout Europe as a merciless autocrat who none dares to cross. Consumed by an old, bitter rivalry, she avoids the ballrooms where debutantes gather. She has vowed never to trap a woman into marriage with a monster like herself. Until the woman she never forgot walks through her door… Desperate to escape the guillotine, the beautiful, ambitious courtesan Celine Genet once threw herself on the mercy of the visiting Duke of Howard. But after a night of searing passion the duke left her to the ravages of Revolutionary Paris and didn’t look back. Now Celine is in London and in possession of a dangerous letter that proves the Duke of Howard committed treason as a child – and possibly even murder. And brings her to her knees… In return for keeping the duke’s secret, Celine wants a titled husband, leaving Kate no choice but to return to the ballrooms of her youth. But as Celine transforms from the desperate vagrant who dared blackmail a duke into a fashionable young beauty taking society by storm, Kate faces an impossible choice: keep her childhood secret, or win the woman she loves.

Ambassador Mahit Dzmare arrives in the center of the multi-system Teixcalaanli Empire only to discover that her predecessor, the previous ambassador from their small but fiercely independent mining Station, has died. But no one will admit that his death wasn't an accident—or that Mahit might be next to die, during a time of political instability in the highest echelons of the imperial court. Now, Mahit must discover who is behind the murder, rescue herself, and save her Station from Teixcalaan's unceasing expansion—all while navigating an alien culture that is all too seductive, engaging in intrigues of her own, and hiding a deadly technological secret—one that might spell the end of her Station and her way of life—or rescue it from annihilation.

Welcome to the Gun Show! The top ten list is populated. The sponsorship program is open. The difficulty is ramping up. The first three floors were nothing compared to what Carl and Donut now face. The Iron Tangle. An impossibly-complicated subway system built out of the world's subterranean railway systems, all combined and then tied together into a knot. Up is down. Down is up. Close is far. The cars are filled with monsters, the railway stations are less than safe, and the exit is always just a few stops away. But there is hope. For the first time, the crawlers are all working together. The loot is better than ever. And the secret to unraveling it all may be hidden in the pages of a seemingly-useless book. Welcome, crawlers. Welcome to the fourth floor of the dungeon.
