And the golem that she was raised to dread may not be the monster Malka always believed her to be.
No matter how little he wants to be a doctor on a planet where the local colonists practice the barbaric custom of marriage, Dr. John Maraintha doesn’t have a choice when he is assigned to the desert planet of Scythia.

That is, until Kaelee walks into a meeting about her debut sapphic romance novel, and discovers that her new editor is none other than Greta herself.

As an exterminator, Guy Moulène hunts the uncanny creatures that crawl up from the river and attempt to infest the walls of the city. But his latest quarry is different: a centipede the size of a dragon with a deadly venom and a ravenous taste for artwork, a monster that seeks to digest his city from the sewers to the opera houses. No sane person would hunt it, but Guy—struggling to provide for his sister—doesn’t have a choice.
Masks are military tech that can overcome the limits of human physiology, granting pilots and scavengers the crucial edge that could mean the difference between survival and death. Wylla, armed with nothing more than an outdated MARK 1 RABBIT and sheer desperation, plunges into the chase for an enigmatic MARK I HAWK—a mask that shouldn’t exist. A mask that may have a mind of its own…
