"I live for the dream that my children will be born free," she says. "That they will be what they like. That they will own the land their father gave them." "I live for you," I say sadly. Eo kisses my cheek. "Then you must live for more." Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations. Yet he spends his life willingly, knowing that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children. But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity already reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and sprawling parks spread across the planet. Darrow—and Reds like him—are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class. Inspired by a longing for justice, and driven by the memory of lost love, Darrow sacrifices everything to infiltrate the legendary Institute, a proving ground for the dominant Gold caste, where the next generation of humanity's overlords struggle for power. He will be forced to compete for his life and the very future of civilization against the best and most brutal of Society's ruling class. There, he will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies... even if it means he has to become one of them to do so.

Eadartha is rotting from the inside out. Sorcha is a druid ranger sworn to guard the Veil, the shifting boundary that protects her realm from the creatures that lurk beyond it. When a cloaked figure whispers her name, the Veil begins to tear. Monsters slip through the cracks, spirits stalk the woods, ancient gods stir awake, and Sorcha’s runes flare with a power she never wanted. The Druid Council offers no answers. The forests offer only warnings. And the Dark Druid’s shadow grows stronger with every passing night. With Samhain approaching and the realm unraveling, Sorcha begins to search for truth hidden in forbidden magic and forgotten myths. Loyal Kyron stands at her side, and a chaotic Cait Sídhe guides her through riddles, lore, and half-truths. Every path leads her closer to the one place no one dares to go. At the edge of the Veil, one choice enter the unknown or lose everything she swore to protect.
