Kali has always been obedient, but when she takes her first step
onto a protected "humans only" high school in suburban Pittsburgh,
she knows she was the wrong choice for this mission. Ever since the
murder of her parents when she was too young to remember, she's
been sheltered - and trained. She can swing a sword with expert
precision, but studying popular human teen magazines hasn't taught
her how to masquerade as seventeen years old. Jason is the target
of the mission. She and Yuuhi, who was also designated by his own
people to be her partner, must find solid proof that Jason is, in
fact, a supernatural phenomenon. Yuuhi sees little more than a
socially inept emo kid dressed in conflicting shades of black, but
Kali only touches Jason's hand, and she feels the sting of
something dark and deadly. Jason's shadow is bigger than he is, and
if the leaders of Yuuhi's people find out, Jason won't be human
much longer. The goal of the mission is to protect him, but Kali
will find that the only way she can do just that is to break every
rule she's been conditioned to follow. She'll have to learn how to
disobey. Beginning with Kali's point of view and then shifting to
the eyes of other characters, the Marionettes of Myth series
introduces Pittsburgh as a superhuman metropolis, a world both wild
and conquered by the monsters buried in its seams and darkest
shadows. And those monsters will be watching her.

In this thrilling novella set after the events of "Fracture the
Spider's Web," darker things lurk outside the city. Before Ave and
Elliot met the three siblings in a series of events that would
change everything, they operated a superhuman detective business.
Finally, with the first break they've had since the train wreck
began, Ave and Elliot have a chance to take on new cases, and
someone wants to join them. The newest mission tells of strange
grinding noises and disappearing machine parts during the dark
October nights of the sparsely populated oil country in rural
Pennsylvania. A promise of good fun. But, as Yuuhi says, there has
never been a case that has gone as expected, and there's never been
a case that has ended well. Set a month after the collapse of the
overpasses, "Interlude" shows the unwinding of events through the
eyes of other characters and boasts the usual quirks and laughs of
the cast - plus a twist of horror.
In the thrilling second book to the "Marionettes of Myth" Series,
even gods can be killed. The sword of Ra had finally responded to
Kali's command-just in time for her to spear her sister, Solara,
through the heart. Kali then bled out. Her life ended. When her
eyes next opened, she was in an underground hospital, and she
wasn't in possession of her own body. Toivo and Carmi can only wait
under Ave and Elliot's roof, desperate for news. All they know is
that Solara's body was recovered, but Kali's is missing, and the
funeral for their fathers is nearing. With their family broken and
interspecies warfare brewing, the brothers will have to reconcile
their grief and do what it takes to keep from losing Kali a second
time. They won't be alone, and they won't be unchallenged. But the
real war has already begun. Toivo is struck with a mysterious
illness, Yuuhi's vampire parents are calling, and Jason must
understand Ares' motivations, or lose to them. In the end, each of
them might just be at the mercy of the hand that holds Ra-or the
hands that pull on the web of marionette strings. Their decisions
can stop the war, or ignite it.
