Book 1
Zev Porter, a run of the mill Fortune Hunter, never expected to find magic during a simple job - to listen to an old woman's story. But stories hold magic, and upon completing the job, a piece of Ulterra's missing magic is released. There are more stories to save and more magic to release.
However, not everyone wants magic saved. The Shadow Dwellers are willing to do the unspeakable to strip the land of magic. Zev is torn. With magic back in his life, darker thoughts have begun to crowd his mind, and he finds them welcoming. If he continues with his journey, his darkness will only grow stronger.
The sun is setting, and Zev must decide if he is willing to sacrifice everything he knows for magic – or if it would be easier to join the Shadow Dwellers and succumb to the darkness entirely.
Book 1.5
While Zev Porter was releasing magic from stories, Kiara Glennshire was trying to figure out a way forward.
Kiara’s whole life has been spent with Thane, the leader of the group Gemini. He has promised to help her find her missing brother, but recently, things have taken a turn for the worse. Violence, murder, theft – these aren’t what Gemini is supposed to be about. Kiara still believes in what she is fighting for, but at what cost?
Kiara makes some risky moves while she tries to figure out what path is the one for her, but things just keep getting worse. Does she continue being an unlikely ally to Zev? Does she try to convince Thane his actions are wrong? And just what is this strange new magic she has?
Kiara is faced with a decision, betray the man who is like a brother to her, or help this strange boy save magic and Ulterra. She needs to decide soon, or the decision will be made for her. And she may never see her brother again.
Out of Darkness is a companion novella to From Shadows, the first book in The Lost Library Series.
