Summary
Jimmy has met his soulmate, the eccentric demigod Hermit TangoTek. In the process, he lost his sister Lizzie and her soulmate-husband Joel. With a promised location and hope in his heart, Jimmy sets out with his new partner to find his family- but the ever-present song of death that dances through his head promises much more than a casual journey.
Lizzie waits in vain for Jimmy. As enemies from her shadowy past resurface, she and Joel find themselves assaulted. However, the Unseelie aren't her only problem. Powerful strangers follow her every move, Jimmy is still missing, and worst of all, her husband seems to be... changing. Thrust into yet another new world of chaos and craftiness, it will take all of Lizzie's wits to keep herself and Joel safe.

Summary
After being hunted and nearly captured by the Watchers, Jimmy and Tango are back at the beginning, still trying in vain to find Lizzie and Joel. Besieged by enemies at all sides, forced to run to old friends for help, Jimmy and Tango must face the increasingly deadly Watchers, the lost search for Jimmy's sister, and even Death itself in their hunt for Lizzie and, perhaps, finally, peace.
Lizzie waits in the shimmering desert for news of her brother, watching Joel transform little by little every day. She has long since resigned herself to Joel's transformation into a Hermit, but when a strange, deadly cult sporting void-touched weapons breaches the horizon, she and her whispering shadows must fight with all she has to protect Joel and her new friends.
In the desert, the death-touched siblings must reckon with their mortality, their new, strange world, and whether their bond and love can bring them back to each other.
And as always the song winds through Jimmy's head: a song that sings ill tidings, a song that promises death before him or Lizzie can ever find their happy ending.

Summary
No. If he died here, the very ground beneath his feet would happily and hungrily absorb him into its fold. He was not escaping here. His death would be Final.
Then, faintly, he felt something. It was like a soft but cool breeze on a hot summer’s day- hardly noticeable to anyone but a man dying of heat. It was something other than the dry emptiness that plagued his kingdom.
It was a presence. Or a flicker of magic, or a remnant of power. It didn’t matter what it was, as long as it was something Martyn could use.
So Martyn, with the last of his willpower, reached for it.
Or, Martyn, a thief, unlocks the power of a god- and learns very quickly that he is in over his head.
