It's 2005. Blogs are becoming a thing, flip phones are the epitome of texting tech, and AOL still sends out those freebie trial discs.

They’re also tough times in Detroit, especially for Hamtramck girl and part-time tech blogger Toni Dzielny. Within days, she’s lost her technical writing job, has to swear off coffee due to her hypertension, and interviews for her dream job as a writer for the Detroit Free Press, only to find she’s competing for the same job with her beautiful nemesis, Kayla Ratcliff.

As if that weren’t enough, she learns her ex-boyfriend, Leo Donnelli, was murdered less than two miles from her house. But before he died, he snail-mailed her a mysterious computer disc telling her to “keep it secret, keep it safe.” And the fact the police consider her a “person of interest” in Leo’s murder doesn’t bode well.

So when the real murderer threatens Toni, her friends, and her family, she's had enough.

Toni enlists the help of her geeky friends to clear her name and learn the contents of the disc before she shares Leo's fate. They discover the disc not only points to why Leo was murdered, but that it holds a secret that could save her sick mother’s life.

Reason and science gave the Recindian Compact wonders like steam engines, telegraphs, and gunpowder. The world had order. It made sense.

Until one night two multi-colored bands of light split the sky, spanning the horizons like rings around the planet. Soon after, unnatural storms assaulted the Compact's cities.

When the Compact asks Taran to accompany a secret delegation to the Mystic homeland, he is swept up in an adventure that forces him to fight a horrifying enemy that only he among all his people can comprehend.

Raven finds an unlikely ally in a young Andean noblewoman, Seala Mesalek. Together, they embark on a journey across Andea's dangerous frontier to stop a genocide. Can Raven put aside his prejudice against heretics and his doubts in himself to become the honorable dahkshari Andea needs?
