There are no Chosen Ones... only those who choose.

Raised by an exiled Banlander to fulfill a dubious prophecy, Aewyn comes of age believing herself to be the Chosen One, right up until the moment that a local tax dispute and a looming civil war threaten to derail her destiny and destroy all those who have come into contact with it.

When she is forced to choose between saving the world and protecting a farming village, Aewyn faces the choice that will define her future: will she sacrifice the heroic destiny she always wanted to save her people?

To command the blood of an empire at war, seize only the hearts of its soldiers.

The women of the Mages' Uprising were never known to take civil war lyring down. But Catrine and her fellow war-widows are determined to do just that, avenging their lost husbands, lives, and innocence by engaging in a sustained campaigh of seduction and espionage against the Travalaithi Empire that could change the course of the war.

But when Catrine falls in love with her hapless mark, and both of them are thrown into a deadly conflict involving Aewyn and her roguish band of Havenari outriders, the lovestruck spy must choose once and for all where her true allegiance lies—and decide whether her heart belongs to the living or the dead.

In Everything Wants to Live, a jaded programmer at the end of his rope makes a fatal deal to test the limits of his boss's latest advancements in bioorganic computing inside his own body. As his sentience bleeds between man and machine, Alan Church must ask himself whether this profound technological awakening will leave to his evolution...or his extermination.

In That Most Foreign of Veils, earthly alienation informs a young woman's journey into a truly alien realm beyond the known world [the Canadian North, LOL], to a place of primordial cold that hides the forbidden secrets of sleeping forces too terrible to name.

I Have the Best Words: Classic Poems Made Even Greater by an Anonymous Genius of Stagerring Genius

Is this guy for real?!

It's natural to ask how seriously we should take this collection of twenty-three classic poems, rewritten or "corrected" by a certain anonymous poet whose "voice" is—well—deeply idiosyncratic.

Equal parts audacious, fallacious, and braggadocious, this quirky volume is much more than a "gag gift" for politically-minded friends and frustrated English majors. It's a deeply poignant look at the ungainly spirit of this historic time of upheaval, filtered through the beady, narcissistic eyes of perhaps its most unlikely observer.
