Fate and Cinder

It's time to give Stana her due

Recovered from his breakneck spiral, Caleb Mauthisen wakes in Tuija s flat with family around him. Midgard is shifting, the Judge feels it on the breeze. Ares is gone. With Ares re-assuming the mantle of Tyr in Asgard, Midgard is left unsteady. Caleb is forced to stand on his own, no fail safe, the weight of a world and Truce that don t forgive hesitation. And Stana, the volatile god-killing Keeper of the Book of Knowledge, hit landfall.

Unmoored and steeped in schemes

Unmoored and steeped in the schemes of Delilah and Stana, Caleb s escaped uncle Magni surges through Midgard like a bludgeon given flesh. Caleb must unravel the Truce s cryptic lies around his growing powers, before his uncle destroys what control Caleb cobbles together. His best lead to end Stana s threat comes from a confounding source: Delilah s delinquent daughter Lilith. Whether the child is a victim of Stana s evil magic, or a fledgling con artist helping her mother dupe him is yet to be discovered. The deeper he digs, the more the world is stoked back into ember and flame.
