A woman on the run. A summer storm. Lightning...and landslide. Fleeing a hellish marriage, Ariadne Millar stumbles from her wrecked car into the storm-torn woods-and finds herself stranded in a strange land, its language alien, its eerie beauty surpassed only by its sudden, breathtaking violence. A dark castle looms in the distance. A chained man begs for aid. Underdark has been waiting for a queen's return, and the only thing more frightening than the hallucinatory vividness of Ari's surroundings is the persistent sense that she has been here before. Nightmare, hell, or bizarre reality? Each choice is more dangerous than the last, and time is running out as the Conjunction nears. Ari must thread her way through the maze, no matter the cost or consequences, for she has dreamed of a knight trapped in iron... ...and he, of course, has plans of his own.

New Rome perches upon the shores of the Thamis River, and in its soot-stained depths a teeming mass of humanity lives under the iron fist of an Empire that never fell to Vandals or Christianity. In the shadows, assassins congregate and secret societies bloom-the Priory, dedicated to worship of the criminal Dead God, and the Hellions, thieves and murderers whose aim is mere freedom.Or so they say.Gemma Dove arrives in New Rome with a small independence and a burning desire: to gain revenge upon those who murdered her parents and drove her beloved aunt to a premature death.

She longs to complete her vengeance and return to her safe, beautiful estate across the Channel, but fate has other ideas.His name for now is Avery Black, but they call him the Rook. The young Hellion has sunk himself in vice and treachery, and he knows there's more to Miss Dove than meets the eye. He also knows she's playing a dangerous game, one which will end in her death-unless he takes a hand in matters. It might even be connected to his own vengeance against the Priory, but that's fast becoming a secondary consideration.Under soot-stained skies and flickering gaslamps, from the crowd of thieves and gin-soaked tenements to the glittering whirl of Society, plans, treachery, and counter-betrayal are afoot. Gemma and Avery can deal the Priory a stinging defeat, but that ancient organization has its own plans for Miss Dove, and the Rook might be her only defense...Praise for the author: "Lilith Saintcrow is a master at world building.
