Lucian Abrantes and his companions have done the impossible. They have gathered the Orbs, found the First Gate, and entered the Light Realm. But finishing the job has dire consequences never foreseen, and things in the Light Realm are far more complicated than initially thought.

No one expected Ragnarok. The miles-wide meteor fell from the sky in 2030, taking most of humanity with it. The lucky ones took refuge in the Bunkers. The unlucky ones had to deal with the meteor's aftermath...and the alien virus it unleashed. Now, that virus is evolving, creating an army of mutants and monsters, mixing Earth genetics with something...not Earth. As humanity struggles in the wastelands of what's left, it might already be too late...unless a band of young heroes can rise up, and fight.

Lucian may have bested the cunning Sorceress-Queen of Psyche, but his journey of survival is just beginning. When he learns the location of the Prophecy of the Seven, he has no choice but to embrace his destiny as the Chosen of the Manifold and find it. Only the prophecy can lead him to the rest of the Seven Aspects of Magic. But, the prophecy is in the last place he wants to go: the Golden Palace of Dara, the seat of the powerful Sorceress-Queen.

Alex Keener has lived all of his 16 years underground in US Bunker 108. When he goes on his first recon into the Wasteland, he will find out exactly why. Outside, Alex discovers a harsh landscape twisted by the impact of the meteor Ragnarok in 2030. Besides Raiders, dust storms, and cold, a new threat is evolving - the xenovirus, which twists men and animals into deadly monsters.

On the moon of Psyche, Lucian Abrantes, the Chosen of the Manifold, must start from humble beginnings, growing his single world into an empire. He must unite disparate factions that don’t recognize his legitimacy.

Lucian Abrantes and the Starsea Fleet have driven back the Alkasen. While the Worlds rebuild and recover from the brutal war, the Ancient One threatens to undo the uneasy peace. On the world of Mako, the Ancient One has done the unthinkable. Marshaling the ether of the Source of Power, he has escaped through a Time Gate, an action that threatens to unravel Lucian's heroism and even reality itself.

Lucian dreams of a new life outside the cesspool of Earth. Unfortunately, his wish comes true when the government identifies him as a mage. No one knows why the mages are being born. No one knows why their powers lead to madness and death in a terrifying disease known as "the fraying". The only solution is to quarantine the mages in academies.

Long lost since the disappearance of Arian, the prophecy of the Seven holds the key to finding the rest of the orbs. If Lucian can find it, it would all but assure his position as the true chosen of the manifold. The only problem? He doesn't know where in the worlds it is. When he receives a mysterious vision from an old friend, he drops everything to return to Volsung, the planet he’d hoped to never see again. Only there can he find a clue that might lead him to the true prophecy—the one penned by the hand of Arian himself.

Lucian must do what no mage has ever done before: Escape the Mad Moon. But between frayed mages, violent monsters, and the hostile environment, that may prove impossible. Wandering the brutal surface, every breath is a fight for survival. And things only get worse when Lucian receives visions from the so-called Sorceress-Queen of Psyche, whose Psionic Magic is second to none. Teaming up with a dedicated captain, a frayed mage, and a former Mage-Knight of Dara, Lucian sets off on a quest across Psyche. He needs a way off the moon for good.

Lucian has achieved the improbable with his acceptance into the prestigious Volsung Academy. Now, he must do something even more difficult: survive it. As a Novice, he must learn the fundamentals of magic while navigating Academy politics. Lucian must not only pass the grueling Trials but survive other mages' mechanizations. But doing that is difficult when he's being left behind.

After countless trials, Lucian has collected multiple Orbs, and has almost proven himself to be the true Chosen of the Manifold. Only one person stands in his way: Xara Mallis, the Psion of Darkness.Lucian is not ready to face her. With each Orb he gains, the Shadow that follows him grows ever stronger.

Two months after the reversion, Shanti continues her training at the Seekers' Sanctum. She is assailed with visions of Anna's past...visions that are further proof that she and the goddess are connected. As Shanti's amazing progress captures the attention of the entire Sanctum, she forges her own path with a daring to return to the Covenant's capital of Colonia. She knows that her parents and the Prophecy of Annara are the keys to unlocking the past...as well as her role in stopping the Second Darkness.

The Swarmers are on the move. As star systems fall one by one, the League of Worlds begins to fragment. The Dread Pirate Zheng Yang advances her Golden Armada toward the League's core, bringing either death or salvation. The Prophet Sharo Khalin consolidates a theocracy, while the League of Worlds concentrates everything toward a last-ditch defense. Unknown to all these major players, the Worlds' only hope lies in Lucian Abrantes, his crew, their starship, and of course, the powerful Orbs of Starsea. But even these powerful artifacts might not be enough to survive the dark days ahead.

The hunt for Isaru begins. With the spaceship Odin at their disposal, Shanti and the crew have more tools than ever to stop the coming Xenofall. But powerful new threats have emerged to challenge their advance. If Isaru reaches the Mindless swarm in Ragnarok Crater, it will spell destruction for the Red Wild and its surrounding kingdoms. Meanwhile, a powerful, ancient being offers his help. But will it be enough to end the Hyperfold, once and for all?

When Makara Angel winds up in post-apocalyptic LA, she was looking for a home, not trouble. Now Makara finds herself in the middle of a gang war, fighting for survival in LA's decaying streets. Even after she falls in with the Lost Angels and their charismatic leader, safety is no guarantee. The Black Reapers are ramping up their aggression against the Angels, and Makara finds herself in the crossfire.

Four hundred years after the Ragnarok War, humanity still hasn't recovered from the impact of the meteor, Ragnarok. Alex Keener and his friends are remembered as gods, while strife reigns between their Elekai descendants, the dragons, and those of pure human blood. But unknown to humanity, an ancient and forgotten evil is hurtling toward Earth, threatening destruction. At the center of it all stands Shanti Roshar, a young woman who may be the subject of a long-lost prophecy, penned by the hand of Anna herself.

The final battle looms. Odium of the Dark and his swarm of Radaskim ravage the Red Wild, leaving destruction in its wake. It's up to Shanti to gather disparate factions to challenge the Xenomind's advance before it's too late. Vastly outnumbered, it's an impossible war. All will be lost unless she can stop the Radaskim at their source. Shanti must gamble everything for a small shot at success. But the price of victory will require the ultimate sacrifice, one that goes beyond mere death...

Time is running out for humanity to defeat the encroaching forces of the Radaskim. As settlements fall and the Great Blight spreads, it falls on the New Angels to unite disparate factions before it is too late. But the dark Xenomind, Askala, has her own plans to end humanity before that can ever happen, and only the greatest sacrifice can stop her from achieving her aims.

Shanti's quest hangs on the edge of a knife. With Isaru's state critical, Shanti and the crew must leave him in the Hollow. They return to Colonia, this time with leverage that might see her parents saved.
