Broken Gears Series

Calandra looks back on her old life with envy. What she wouldn't give to be back with her fellow courtiers and their exasperating need to make small talk. That was before the war, before captivity, before the curse that now pursues her through the centuries. The land of Invarnis is on the brink of destruction. How can Calandra help save it if she can't even save herself? 

Lenore ran. She ran as fast as her legs would carry her. Her muscles felt like they were on fire, but burning alive was far better than the alternative. The Enforcers weren't known for their clemency or for doling out quick punishments. Homeless, orphaned, living in secret as a thief. Lenore Crowley just wants to survive, but Springhaven's laws make no exceptions. Arrest by the Enforcers - the city's "peacekeepers" - and life imprisonment loom. When Lenore meets the Allens, she's offered a new identity.

The Springhaven Museum's expedition to Bone Port is underway! Opportunities await Lenore and her colleagues, but discovery and enlightenment are not all they will find in southern Invarnis. Back home in Springhaven, Rook is searching for answers but seems to find only more questions. Who took out a hit on Lenore? What is Bloodstone? A trail of clues becomes fraught with danger, and the quest for truth might demand a price he's not willing to pay. 

The city of Springhaven simmers, ready to explode into fiery chaos just as the so-called Halls of Justice did not so long ago. As Lenore grieves, the Reaper's Collective murders yet another of her loved ones. Focused on revenge, she fails to see their tentacles curling around those who remain. Meanwhile, the city's most dangerous crime lords have agreed to a temporary truce in order to dismantle the Collective, but the collaboration could destroy everything Rook has built.
