As an evil emperor struggles to maintain his immortality, two of his subjects embark on fateful adventures in this epic fantasy trilogy debut. For the past nine centuries, Emperor Kostimon has ruled Imperia from the Ruby Throne, even as lawlessness and greed threaten to bring the empire crumbling to the ground. But his immortality stems from a bargain with the very source of evil itself: the dark lord Beloth. Now, as Kostimon's tenth and final lifetime begins, the shadow god is growing restless… As the son of Imperia’s most powerful healer, Caelan E'Non is expected to follow in his father's footsteps. Except Caelan feels a burning desire to blaze his own trail—and possesses a magic he does not understand. Meanwhile, Elandra Albain has been raised as a servant in her father's house. Her spoiled sister, Lady Bixia, is thought to be destined for greatness. But Elandra has a surprising destiny all her own. Now, in a time of unimaginable upheaval, Caelan and Elandra begin journeys of adventure and terrifying danger—journeys that will alter the course of Imperia forever.

Sometimes thought to be a bizarre Victorian custom, photographing corpses has been and continues to be an important, if not recognized, occurrence in American life. It is a photographic activity, like the erotica produced in middle-class homes by married couples, that many privately practice but seldom circulate outside the trusted circle of close friends and relatives. Along with tombstones, funeral cards, and other images of death, these photographs represent one way in which Americans have attempted to secure their shadows.

It was 1798 when the Morningstarr twins arrived in New York with a vision for a magnificent city: towering skyscrapers, dazzling machines, and winding train lines, all running on technology no one had ever seen before. Fifty-seven years later, the enigmatic architects disappeared, leaving behind for the people of New York the Old York Cipher--a puzzle laid into the shining city they constructed, at the end of which was promised a treasure beyond all imagining. By the present day, however, the puzzle has never been solved, and the greatest mystery of the modern world is little more than a tourist attraction. Tess and Theo Biedermann and their friend Jaime Cruz live in a Morningstarr apartment--until a real estate developer announces that the city has agreed to sell him the five remaining Morningstarr buildings. Their likely destruction means the end of a dream long held by the people of New York. And if Tess, Theo, and Jaime want to save their home, they have to prove that the Old York Cipher is real. Which means they have to solve it.

With Mama on the case, murder meets its match.... A tryst with a deadly twist. All I'd wanted to do back home in Otis, South Carolina, was whip up a wonderful thirty-fifth anniversary party for my parents. But we'd hardly picked the baker before Mama found herself volunteering her services for the one thing she did nearly as well as cook. And that is sleuthing. You see, Ruby Spikes was found dead in a motor inn with a gun in her hand, a suicide note, and a certified check receipt to a man no one ever heard of--not even the trio of Otis gossips who are Mama's rock-solid source of information. Neither they nor Mama, despite Ruby's tormented diary, were convinced she went to her reward willingly. But this was a young woman with an outsize bundle of secrets and enemies. And when Mama starts sorting them out, and sudden death makes a return visit, it looks like she'll uncover the truth only by making herself--and me--a killer's next target....
