A dwarven magus must enter a world he grew up only hearing of. As he strives to find his place and faces numerous dangers (and at least one too many gnomes) his naivete in life and love may bring more danger than any enemy ever could.
Dr. Nerana Jackson awakens to find herself stranded on a ghost ship, drifting in orbit near an alien star. Now, she must piece together what happened to the crew and why before time runs out - or she may join them.
She is only half the creature that an oppressive government claims she is. A militia breaks her free of an uncertain fate, but the choice to take power and understand her abilities can be only made by her.
Powerful yet innocent, charismatic but alone, how is a being created for a single purpose to find her own humanity, in a world desperate to use her for its own ends?
