So here are the books!
Thalli has fifteen
minutes and twenty-three seconds left to live. The toxic gas that will
complete her annihilation is invading her bloodstream. But she is not
afraid.
Thalli is different than others in The State. She feels things. She asks questions. And in the State, this is not tolerated. The Ten scientists who survived the nuclear war that destroyed the world above believe that emotion was at the core of what went wrong—and they have genetically removed it from the citizens they have since created. Thalli has kept her malformation secret from those who have monitored her for most of her life, but when she receives an ancient piece of music to record as her community’s assigned musician, she can no longer keep her emotions secreted away.
Seen as a threat to the harmony of her Pod, Thalli is taken to the Scientists for immediate annihilation. But before that can happen, Berk—her former Pod mate who is being groomed as a Scientist—steps in and persuades the Scientists to keep Thalli alive as a test subject.
The more time she spends in the Scientist’s Pod, the clearer it becomes that things are not as simple as she was programmed to believe. She hears stories of a Designer—stories that fill her mind with more questions: Who can she trust? What is this emotion called love? And what if she isn’t just an anomaly, but part of a greater design?

Achan steps into his
role as Crown Prince and prepares for war. But war against whom? Could
Esek still be alive? Has Lord Nathak taken Esek’s place? Or is the
mysterious Hadad the true enemy Achan must confront?
Vrell has her own agenda of serving Prince Oren as a healer, but when she is stormed and lost to the Veil, Achan does all he can to bring her back. His conversations with her are strange, though, as if she has no memory of who he is.
In a land consumed by Darkness, the fate of Er’Rets hangs in the balance as Achan endeavors to take the throne and end the reign of Darkness.

What is that mark? As
the Shadonae rise in the west and war threatens the north, a young woman
discovers she is not human . . . Rowen Mar finds a strange mark on her
hand, and she is banished from her village as a witch. She covers the
mark with a leather glove and seeks sanctuary in the White City. She
lives in fear that if she touches another person, the power inside her
will trigger again, a terrifying power that allows her to see the
darkness inside the human heart . . . But the mark is a summons, and
those called cannot hide forever. For the salvation of her people lies
within her hand.
