The story of a teenage girl who's turning into a monster—literally. Chloe Dark is an ordinary girl in an extraordinary world. But when her closest friend is kidnapped and the police seem powerless to help, she sets out to find her alone. But things are not what they seem and in this dystopian world, anyone can be a target.

Lady Elona of Faerholme finds herself the target of a prophecy that predicts she will defeat an invading army. But that's impossible: she's just a girl! Her betrothal to a Prince solves the paradox: she can produce an heir to fight the prophesied war.

As the life of a slave goes, Kantees doesn't have it too bad. Being responsible for a racing dragon means her existence is more than just drudgery and fear, even if her life is at the whim of her masters and their rules.

As the life of a slave goes, Kantees doesn't have it too bad. Being responsible for a racing dragon means her existence is more than just drudgery and fear, even if her life is at the whim of her masters and their rules.

What if home became a place of dread? Maliha Anderson returns to her family in French-owned Pondicherry, and it's worse than she expects. Her grandmother is trying to marry her off but that's nothing compared the suicide of an unknown woman in front of a family wedding party. Or that her rejected lover has returned unexpectedly. Maliha refuses to allow the woman's death to be brushed under the carpet but her investigations bring her to a very dark place. Slavery, sexual violence and taboo relationships guide her to a devastating revelation that might destroy her family.

As a runaway slave, Kantees isn't safe anywhere—but the need to find out who'd pursuing her, and why, drives her back to her first master. But when he is unable to give her the answers she needs, and with death at every turn, she has to take what she can and get out. As her dragon carries her beyond the realms of what she has ever known, her lack of understanding brings her face-to-face with the true power of her enemies. Once more, she has to risk everything to keep the promises she wished she had not made.

Looking after dragons is easy, but when you steal one things get harder. Free at last from those who harass her and hold her back, Kantees finally searches for her own people in the mountains of Esternes.

1908. A gruesome death. An airship full of suspects. Maliha Anderson prefers to be alone, even on the long journey back to India. Unfortunately one of her fellow passengers is a murderer. She should stay out of the death of the General's nurse, but Maliha cannot leave a mystery alone. Besides, there is no one else on the vessel qualified to investigate, though she's the only person who knows that.

When your path is uncertain, it's better to be riding a dragon. As Kantees tries to build an army against her enemy, trouble strikes at her from every side, and it seems she's doing it to herself. But even finding new allies where she least expects them, she struggles to find a place for herself, still unwilling to lead her friends into danger.
