"Reality is a complicated multiverse of many species and rare magic. Diplomats are the official envoys and investigators who hold the Union of Worlds together.
Raisa never intended to be a diplomat. Like so many things in her life, it was her stepmother's idea.
Hector is an elf in disgrace. He chose his cyborg brother over his lying, abusive family. Elves revile augmented people. They leave such despicable technology to their ancient enemies, the goblins.
When a diplomatic mission strands the two elves on a goblin world, they find themselves the target of a legendary killer. If they die, so will the emergent species they were sent to save.
A House by Any Other Name is a standalone novel in the Hidden Sanctuary series. It includes characters from the Uncertain Sanctuary trilogy. No previous knowledge of Reality is necessary to enjoy the adventure."
"No one warned her about the alien baby.
Captain Cherry Pendit is a very improper oracle. A proper seer warns the hero, then retires to the luxury of her temple while the hero saves the day. Pfft. Boring.
Cherry doesn't need a hero to defy fate. In fact, she intends to rescue the hero. There might be a few bumps along the way—like an entire alien species her oracular talent didn't warn her about—but Captain Cherry Pendit of the Delphic Dame is prepared to adapt and overcome.
If only the pirates, the good guys—who might be bad guys—and her allies would just stop freaking interfering by pushing their own stupid agendas. Don't they realize that if Cherry fails, humanity is doomed?
Salvage is the first book in the Delphic Dame space opera trilogy. It picks up Cherry's story three years after Nora's disruption of Human Sector society in the Adventures of a Xeno-Archaeologist series."
"No one suspects Zelia is a sorcerer, and that's exactly how she likes it.
Even better, no one suspects she is human. Masquerading as a goblin Traveler, she roams Reality in her glittering van pulled by her two trusty world walking birds, Warp and Weft.
But when a storm of cosmic chaos strands her in an outer thread, the only refuge in sight is the legendary Darkhouse of Doom. Goblin legend says it is cursed; that the appearance of the wandering darkhouse foretells the appearance of world-devouring monsters and the death of all who see it.
So, Zelia knocks on the door.
Any House in a Storm is a beauty and the beast tale set in an otherworldly, space-traveling darkhouse where nothing is as it seems and no one who enters remains unchanged. While evil exists, there will always be those who fight it. It is a standalone novel set in the universe introduced in The House That Walked Between Worlds."
"Reality's newest sorcerer doesn't want trouble, but it finds her anyway.
Just when Kira thinks she is getting a handle on what it means to be a sorcerer, the Emperor calls and drops a bundle of trouble in her lap. And he's not the only one.
For a woman intent on protecting her privacy, a whole lot of people seem to know how to contact Kira to draw her into their problems. But when one of those problems involves saving children's lives, how can Kira refuse to help?
Magic is misbehaving across Reality and Kira sets out to discover why. Her allies stand ready to help—and hinder—as she traverses the paths of Reality in a House, which is developing its own quirky personality.
House In Hiding is a compelling and original fantasy novel of multiple worlds and beguiling mystery in the tradition of Ursula Le Guin and Diana Wynne Jones."
