But life at the top comes with its own set of challenges as divine tensions become public and Providence's carefully maintained circle of accountability begins to fail.

Meet Cyrus Grant, rat shifter. Covered in trash? Check. Getting washed through a sewer in a thunderstorm, fighting for his life? Check. Hunted by a mad scientist and an evil fae? Ugh. Just another day in the life of a rat shifter… All Cyrus wanted to do was find a job so he could stop sleeping on his sister's couch. Getting turned into a rat? Not on his to-do list. Aren't shifters supposed to be lions, bears, and dudes with hairy man chests? Somebody missed the memo.

Cyrus Grant put his life back together after becoming a rat shifter. New job, new friends, new dating life. Best of all, he landed a first date with a beautiful woman at a French bistro. Go Cyrus!

And OF COURSE a giant, human-sized rat bursts through the window trying to kill him. Just another day in the life of a rat shifter.

Cheesy jokes. Dates. A bachelor pad of his own. After saving the world (twice), Cyrus Grant deserves to enjoy the single life and relax…until a demon possesses his sister. The cure: a ruthless nightclub owner who peddles dangerous magic. He offers anything for a price. And he doesn’t mean dollars. It takes a rat to fight a rat.

Some fall prey to those holding a gun for the first time. Others cannot be defeated even by the most experienced shooters in the world, unless their luck comes to save the day. Cheater’s accuracy is unparalleled, and Lady Luck is on his side. He has all the marks of a champion, and champions never miss. The true aim of his heart, though, is not one that can be hit with a single fortunate shot. No, she is far to the west, beyond several of the Continent’s most dangerous locations: the bleak boundaries dividing regions from one another.

Reed is about to snap - and this time, nothing is going to stand in his way when it comes to getting answers for Elise, not even a supposedly long-vanished Sumerian God. Or so Reed thinks. But summer in the city isn't going to be like the others. The city itself isn't quite the same either, and even if you're lucky (or cursed) enough to count the children of Gods among your friends, nothing is ever simple...

Meet Reed Lavender, a mostly-human detective with the uncanny ability to hear the final words of the dead. But on this case he’ll need more than his usual tricks to solve the murder of a teen runaway – he’ll need something that just might be more trouble than it’s worth – the help of his ragtag Reaper-cousins.

Things aren’t exactly getting easier for Reed Lavender. Old obligations and new cases are piling up but in the aftermath of Feronia’s defeat, answers are still too thin on the ground. But one clue–his father’s knucklebone–might just lead to something big. To learn the truth about his parents’ disappearance, Reed will have to take the fight to whoever is behind the growing turmoil in his city. And if the rising number of Spirit-Worms, needy Gods, vindictive lawmen and only somewhat-helpful cousins don’t stop Reed, then his sense of duty might do what the others cannot.

Это мир, где большую политику вершат аристократы, где торговым корпорациям служат супергерои, а ночью на улицы выходят банды в масках и с техно-артефактами. Это история про парня, который попал в другой мир и стал героем-артефактором. Вот только его сила заключается не в том, чтобы создавать крутые вещи, от которых будут сходить с ума местные аристократы и красотки. Единственное, что у него получается хорошо – это ломать то, что сделали другие. Идеально – взрывать. Впрочем, возможно, именно этого не хватало империи, чтобы начать новый поход в области Тьмы.
