Malin, weretiger bodyguard to the Lunar King, fears an attack on the King's wife. When the strike comes, though, it isn't against the royal family. It's against Malin's own people. The fearsome Arun Guard assault the island of the weretigers, and Malin goes to their defense. But while he's away, an even greater threat ravages their home. Something has escaped the Spirit World, and it wasn't the Solars that called it...

The Lunar King bargained his daughter away in marriage to end generations of war between the two dynasties of the Skyfall Isles. The King sends his niece Chandi along as handmaid to his daughter. Chandi has two tasks: watch over her cousin, and spy on the Solars. The Solars cost her everything she cares about, and now she wants nothing more than proof of their treachery so she can go home. She knows little of spying, but the blood of the Moon God running through her veins gives her powers mortals can’t match, powers that let her slip into places she’s not supposed to be. Of course, the more she uses her powers, the faster she becomes a lunatic. When she discovers a Solar soldier, Naresh, watching her, she decides to return the favor and stick close to him. But as he shows her the wonders of the domed underwater city, she begins to realize the Solars are not what she thought. Soon, she’ll have to choose between loyalty to her people and her own heart.

Bendurana spent a lifetime on the water, pulled through war and adventure, love and loss. Fitting that after a lifetime at sea, he finds himself dying on it. But his father told him a hero never quits, and Ben never will. He risked everything to stand up to the pirates that set him adrift, and now he'll do anything to get back to the woman he loves. His food is gone. His boat is taking on water. And yet, he clings to hope with each failing breath. After all he's been through, now he has to trust the mercurial goddess of the deep see this hero though his story. And his future is as uncertain as the currents of wind and tide...

Years of loyal service never won Malin any reward. The weretiger protected the Lunar lords, helped them topple the Solar Empire, and even elevated a new king. And he returns home to find himself still no better than a slave, while the Lunars threaten to repeat the mistakes of the past. But Malin holds the greatest secret of Lunars in his hands, if he can only decide what to do with it. Now the king wants him to hunt down Chandi, the person he cares for most.

Lost at sea and left for dead, Landi finds salvation at the hands of a myth. But it doesn't take her long to realize this dragon is as likely to eat her as help her back to safety. Wounded, alone, and unable to fight her captor with a blade, Landi's survival now depends on her ability to entertain. In her desperation, she weaves a tale of pain and loss, hoping to hold the dragon at bay for one moment more. And to do so, she'll have to dredge up her own painful past... if she can piece together the fragments of her shattered memories.

The three dynasties of the Skyfall Isles have fallen to chaos, and three kings war for supremacy. Naresh, last protector of the fallen Solar Empire, wants nothing more than to finally bring peace to the Isles. But how can he stand behind one of these kings, when he finds every one lacking? And how can he focus on his duty when his wife is spiraling into lunacy? As the rifts between the Isles, and between Naresh and Chandi, grow, Naresh is faced with an even greater problem. Kahyangan is no longer quiet. The horrors of the Spirit World are spreading across the Isles, and if Naresh wants to save everything he loves, he must push it all aside and go to battle against the forces beyond anything he has ever known.
