Into Shadow - Chronicles of Azulland - Book 3

Jane Shoup

Summary

How many lives can be destroyed by one man’s quest for revenge? A good number, when that man is power-hungry, self-proclaimed king Denyson Folworth.  As suspicion mounts that he had his father murdered, circumstances change, control slips, and pressure builds. Folworth, who knows he must change public perception in order to remain in control, will stop at nothing to eliminate his adversaries, especially the renowned assassins known as Forzenay’s Five.  Forzenay and the others have no intention of allowing Folworth to dictate their paths, but that becomes increasingly difficult as their identities are exposed and a campaign of vicious propaganda gains momentum. Drastic change seems mandated, and difficult choices become the order of the day, but in a deadly game of vengeance, not everyone can or will survive.

Genesis Echo - Book 1: Monomyth

D. Hollis Anderson

Humanity has fallen from a vast star-faring Empire to a defeated and imprisoned species, hiding in distant corners of space after millennia of brutal violence.
For the past 70,000 years, Earth has been used as a prison for the Human species. Marooned and stripped of their memory, Earth’s inhabitants are completely unaware of their captivity. The Greys closely monitor everything happening - every facet of society is controlled, warped. And all the while Greys throughout the galaxy are tuned-in – watching on entertainment streams, their favorite reality TV.
Rain wasn’t born on Earth, but she doesn’t know that. Her father and uncle have hidden Rain in secret since birth in an eroding sea-town, exiled and fleeing from the Grey Empire that hunts across the cosmos for her. It’s the last place the Greys would look for the child who may be Humanity’s final hope.
Lor is on the run through a derelict factory planet, called Grima, into which her escape pod crashed. She knows exactly what they do here: the Greys mass produce human clone hybrids, ghastly creatures of all shapes and sizes manufactured from twisted DNA, created as novelty pets for wealthy Grey families. Escaped mistakes lurk in the dark broken-down sectors of the planet. Lor is only a young girl but she’s spent most of her life running, and her unique Source powers make her far from defenseless. Lor has to escape the planet and whatever is hunting her. Good thing she has some help from the ‘mistakes’.
Tonjin, an Elite warrior in training, is about to witness the fall of an ancient Human civilization on his home planet, Rien, as the tenacious Ziek virus is unleashed in a surprise attack by the Greys. Humanity is lucky Tonjin trained well; everyone fleeing Rien on the mighty Ark colony ships are going to depend on his quick thinking.

Taking place between Oathbringer and Rhythm of War, this newest story (like Edgedancer before it) takes a deeper look at several characters in the saga, and brings them to the forefront.When a ghost ship is discovered, its crew presumed dead after trying to reach the storm-shrouded island Akinah, Navani Kholin must send an expedition to make sure the island hasn’t fallen into enemy hands. Knights Radiant who fly too near find their Stormlight suddenly drained, so the voyage must be by sea.Shipowner Rysn Ftori lost the use of her legs but gained the companionship of Chiri-Chiri, a Stormlight-ingesting winged larkin, a species once thought extinct. Now Rysn’s pet is ill, and any hope for Chiri-Chiri’s recovery can be found only at the ancestral home of the larkin: Akinah. With the help of Lopen, the formerly one-armed Windrunner, Rysn must accept Navani’s quest and sail into the perilous storm from which no one has returned alive. If the crew cannot uncover the secrets of the hidden island city before the wrath of its ancient guardians falls upon them, the fate of Roshar and the entire Cosmere hangs in the balance.
