'Most beings live their entire lives in the shadow of the gods.
Once you leave that shadow, there’s no going back.

'Ami N’uni is a starship captain with too many pirates to chase and too many lives to save. She doesn’t need complications. But she’s a sucker for helping the haunted and Kieran Krendasta definitely qualifies. He's the least powerful agent the Galactic Law Enforcement Agency has to offer — so no one believes him when he says that he’s a danger to everyone around him.

'Hoping she won’t regret it, Ami invites Kieran to join her crew. His presence on her ship soon proves to be useful and distracting by equal measure. Her old enemies are beginning to surface — which wouldn’t be so bad if Kieran hadn’t brought new ones along with him.

'Ami’s past might be stalking her, but something much worse is stalking Kieran. Something she can’t protect him from.' (Publication summary)

'Grace Pendergast will one day be the greatest reporter the galaxy has ever known. But she still has a long way to go.

'Four millennia in the future, the news has become a glorious spectacle for an audience hungry for theatrics. Grace is determined to change this. She plans on providing the galaxy with genuine coverage that shines light on those evils that continue to thrive on the old ways.

'No source should be named if doing so endangers their life. No secret should be kept. The truth must be told - for the good of the galaxy.

'But Grace has her own secrets. She's dating Finara, the goddess of fire, which gives her unparalleled access to the Galactic Pantheon. No other mortal has this knowledge - and no other reporter can call upon a sub-level god to help them when a situation becomes too dangerous.'  (Publication summary)

'In the millennia since leaving Old Earth, humans have spread far and wide across the galaxy. A pantheon of sub-level gods was created to oversee the expanding population, always to protect them out of sight, never to become one of them -- and never to experience love. Or so they thought.

'When Fei, a brilliant but downtrodden programmer, finds proof that the Creator God's most loyal followers own the company she works for, her secular sanctuary is shattered. She soon finds an unlikely ally in Kuja, the god of rainforests, who feels compelled to give her the patience and understanding she so badly needs.

'But Kuja must abandon her before his siblings discover how deep his feelings for her really are. They would see her as a distraction -- or worse, a threat to the grand design. And Fei is already in enough danger. She's the only mortal capable of saving the countless innocent lives that the Creator God's followers want to destroy.

'Kuja is desperate to return to Fei's side. But even if he could protect her from his siblings, why would she want to spend an eternity with him? And how could she forgive someone who has lied to her from the very beginning?'  (Publication summary)

'Callista, a mortal woman, spends her nights fighting for the glory of her gang. She trusts her gang with her life, but she can never tell them about her strange powers or the visions she has of a faceless man. Sandsa, the god of deserts, was designed to rule over the sands and those living on them. But Sandsa has grown tired of his role in the Galactic Pantheon and so abandons his duties to seek the woman who haunts his dreams.

'Once united in their waking hours, he and Callista discover that following your dreams has consequences. Their love plunges a city into an all-out war and incites the wrath of Sandsa's brothers and sisters, who believe that the deserts must have their god. And they'll stop at nothing to make Sandsa return.

'Sandsa and Callista find themselves facing a pantheon of gods -- but even if they win, they risk losing everything they have built together.' (Publication summary)
