Apira wanted to escape her family. She never expected to escape into something worse. After wandering farther into the jungle than she ever has before, Apira stumbles upon a hidden Korzynth settlement-and is captured before she can turn back. To them, the strange Viridian isn't a visitor. She's food. Trapped among creatures who intend to eventually kill and eat her, Apira has only one goal: find a way out before dinner is served. Then she meets Zyvrie. A non-royal Korzynth who should be another reason to run becomes the one person Apira can't bring herself to leave behind. Now freedom isn't as simple as finding the way home. Because Apira came to the settlement as a captive. She never planned on falling for one of her captors.

Irbis has always known the frozen wilderness as a hunter. As a non-royal Cryofell, hunting is more than survival-it is the life he knows. But when a violent snowstorm separates him from his troupe, a routine hunt becomes a fight to make it home alive. Alone, injured, and far from safety, Irbis quickly learns that the frozen lands hold dangers even experienced hunters aren't prepared for. And surviving the storm is only the beginning. Because something is waiting beyond the snow-and Irbis's life may never be the same again.

Kaz was supposed to be royal. Born from a royal egg to two royal parents, there was no reason to expect otherwise. But when the egg twitches and Kaz finally hatches, he looks nothing like the royal child everyone expected. His blood says one thing. His appearance says another. And no one knows why.

For generations, the Varkraith have lived peacefully among the towering trees, building their homes high above the forest floor and keeping mostly to themselves. Then the Korzynths arrive. What begins as a distant settlement quickly spreads through Varkraith territory, disrupting the forest and forcing its original inhabitants farther and farther from their homes. With nowhere left to go, the Varkraith abandon the trees and flee toward the mountains. But survival among the peaks is only the beginning. Forced into unfamiliar caves beneath the stone, the Varkraith must build a new life in a world they were never meant to call home-all while remembering the forests that were taken from them. Some things, however, are harder to leave behind than others. They were driven from the trees. They survived below.

Deep beneath the ocean, Soryx lives among thousands of Pyraquinns in a vast underwater village carved into the walls of an enormous chasm. To Soryx, life in the deep is completely ordinary: escaping his arguing parents, meeting up with his best friend Razzik, hunting for food, exploring the ocean, and getting himself into situations he probably should have avoided. But Soryx has always been curious about what exists beyond the water-especially the mysterious Korzynths who live on land. What begins as an ordinary trip to the surface soon pulls Soryx into experiences far beyond his familiar underwater home, all while he navigates friendships, family, and the strange everyday chaos of simply living as a Pyraquinn.
