The world changed the day the rifts happened. Trolls, elves, and other races from fantasy and myth emerged into a modern world, bringing magic with them. The world governments worked to segregate these new arrivals into refugee camps, which eventually became the nation of De’Vas. A nation of paranormals. Five years after the rifts first appeared, Asher Grayson was deported, or as he called it exiled, to De’Vas since he could use magic. Now he is trying to carve a life out for himself in District 114. His roommate and best friend is an orc, keeping his dryad boss in line is a full-time job and the local beastkin gang has it out for him. As Ash works to hone his magic and navigate this new world, he finds himself in a dangerous situation involving the darker side of De’Vas. With powerful foes after him, Ash must rely on his magic and friends to survive.

Is there ever rest for an Exile? Ash has settled into his new life as the boss of District 114, but discord lies ahead. A new wave of rifts occupies the council, and powerful foes seek revenge on his ally. When Ash finds himself intervening between a powerful clan and the daughter of the man he killed, the lines between friend and foe blur. Worse, his own magic has started to revolt against him. Only the strong survive in De’Vas…Will Ash?

Not long ago, Ash learned he has a monster living inside him… Now he’s counting down the days and preparing for the inevitable encounter when the elemental is set free. Still, Ash has a District to protect and tasks given to him by the Nightmare Queen. One such task leads to the discovery of a strange device and a tattooed goblin who knows its secrets. As Ash and his friends work to unravel the mystery, some of those close to him experience reunions with old enemies. While sins and memories of Vas haunt District 114, the Coalition emerges from the shadows and sets its sights on Ash. …Is it a threat or his greatest weapon?

Ash was an exile when he first arrived in De’Vas… Since then, he has endured hardships and trials, growing the strength of both himself and his district to survive. He found friends and lovers in his new life, all while building a home. Then the Coalition took him away from all that, casting him into a strange new world, one he had only heard about in stories told by those in De’Vas. Ash needs to find a way back home, back to his friends and loved ones, no matter what it takes. Still, to do so, he needs to navigate an unknown world full of dangers and figure out what the Coalition’s plans are for him and District 114. …Now he would give everything to return there.
