Enter a Venice filled with bright magic, dark secrets, and a romance for the ages.

On the streets of Venice, magic burns and wars wage, while powerful illusions and mind-bending magic keep the world of The Skilled hidden from ordinary people—or typics. The powerful Mardova Family rules Venice with an iron fist, keeping their powers secret and their eyes on their enemies.

Zan Mardova would rather use his magical Skills to do tricks on his motorcycle or fly over buildings than involve himself in Family politics, but when he discovers a rival Family has brainwashed a beautiful typic girl named Ellie, he begins to unravel a web of dangerous secrets with Ellie at the center. Zan’s loyalty has always been to the Mardovas and the fate of Venice, but as Zan’s feelings for Ellie grow, he can no longer ignore his suspicions about members of his own Family.

Zan fears there’s a traitor among the Mardovas—and it might be him.

The gods are gone, long ago trapped in stones and lost to the ages. A godless nation rises to power, fueled by a brilliant and genocidal dictator who is willing to manipulate souls and embrace dark magics to spread his empire over the whole of the Five Lands.

Kenton is the last of his people, desperately searching for others who can aid in his quest to unearth the gods from their hiding places and restore goodness and order to the world. As Kenton gathers together the legendary godbearers—who are said to be able to retrieve the gods, wherever they lie—he finds an unlikely ally in Daniella, the daughter of the dictator himself.

Daniella is tired of being her father’s puppet, all too eager to be out of his grasp. But as they travel together, Kenton begins to suspect she may be something far more dangerous than a dictator’s pawn.

Instead, she may be his most deadly weapon.

Mortiche—home of the famous knighthood, land of oaths of fidelity and honor, and the lone sovereign nation still standing against the armies of Sevairn. Kenton, Daniella, and their group of godbearers take refuge here as they search for the next of the godstones, holy receptacles where the gods themselves have been housed for millennia.

In the land of the noble and brave, Kenton hopes they will find safe harbor, but the dictator of Sevairn is seeking their blood, and his spies are as numerous as his reach is long. Wherever the godbearers go, miracles follow, but so do those who seek to stop them from accomplishing their task.

As dark forces close in around them, Kenton fears it may not be a spy who betrays them.

It may instead be one of their own.

Kenton and his people have sacrificed everything to collect the godstones, the only power that can hold back the onslaught of the tyrannical nation of Sevairn as it expands across the Five Lands. With the forces of deity in their hands, the godbearers are ready to begin their fight against Diamis, dictator of Sevairn and powerful blood mage.

But Diamis is in the process of recovering his most powerful weapon—his daughter Daniella, created by dark magics and unimaginable cruelty—who he seeks to bring back under his control. The hell Daniella is about to unwittingly rain down on the whole of the Five Lands may rival the damage done by Diamis himself.

Broken and battered as they are, Kenton and the godbearers have known all along that their quest to win back their homelands would take them into the stronghold of the dictator.

Daniella has been their beloved friend, their powerful ally—

But if she falls into the hands of the enemy, she may be their ultimate destruction.

She can’t bring herself to just walk away, but she’s been broken up with too many times to put her trust in another relationship. So she concocts a plan: she’ll subject Marcus to every stupid habit and quirk that’s gotten her dumped in the past. This way she’ll be sure to get rid of him before she gets too attached, saving them both a lot of trouble in the long run.

With a plan this foolproof, what could go wrong?

Read the followup to the book Brandon Sanderson called "Hands down one of my favorite novels of the year."

Sixteen-year-old Jory escaped from the shifters who killed her father, but her life is far from returning to normal--even by the standards of a shape-shifting spy. Jory’s mother is covering her pain with prescription drugs, leaving Jory alone to hide them both from the murderous shifters who are still hot on their tail.

When Jory’s mom lands herself in the hospital, Jory thinks things can’t get any worse. Then she receives an offer from her boyfriend’s mother, Aida--help her track down the man who betrayed them all, and Aida will make sure Jory’s mother stays hidden and safe. There’s just one catch: the man they’re hunting is responsible for her father’s death--and Jory knows Aida means to protect him.

It’s an offer Jory can’t afford to refuse. As she circles closer to her mark, Jory knows she’s playing a game of cat and mouse, but she can’t be sure if she’s the predator or the prey. Before she risks the lives of more people she loves, Jory must decide which of the many dangerous people in her life she’s going to trust.

And who she is going to betray.
