Breathe, My Shadow
Seladris believes he carries a curse making him a danger to any who know him. Throughout his life he’s kept himself apart from other hara. Now a new job brings him to Ferelithia, known as the Pearl of Almagabra, second only in prominence and reputation to the fabled city of Immanion. But Ferelithia conceals a dark past.
Meladriel, a loner shaman, who lives next to sea, knows only too well what lies hidden in Ferelithia’s history. He was there when the town was taken by Wraeththu, through malign magic, from a human community. Since then, Ferelithia has bloomed as a party town, where visiting hara dance and feast and enjoy the excesses encouraged by the local deity, Kelosanya, a personification of erotic desire. Yet something dark stirs beneath the soil, perhaps awoken by something – or somehar – unexpected arriving in the town. Paranormal events alert Meladriel to the potential that the past is not only returning but seeking revenge.
Nearly all the original harish inhabits of the town have gone, melting away into distant lands, perhaps to escape the terrible events in which they took part. Meladriel has only one option. To make contact with a har he’s avoided for many decades, the Municiphar Kazharn har Shadolis, once known as Karn, a musician in a band with Caeru, who has since risen to be one of the rulers of Wraeththu. Powerful and arrogant, Kazharn won’t want to hear what Meladriel has to say. Yet who else can the shaman turn to?
In the strange old house, Inglefey, Seladris tries to deal with hauntings of his own and his new environment, until fate leads him to the cottage on the shore where Meladriel works his magic. Has Seladris been drawn to Ferelithia to help Meladriel repel a malevolent present or is he simply part of the evil that now threatens the town?
Burying the Shadow
Rayojini lives an idyllic life amongst the soulscapers of Taparak until she reaches the age at which she will be initiated into their ranks. Her initiation rite, though it follows the traditional pattern of thousands of others, is different in one vital respect. The guardian-pursuers that are invoked to watch over Rayojini’s progress are real.
In far off Sacramante, the artisans who are patronised by the upper echelons of Bochanegran society, live in isolated atelier courts. The public may watch performances at chosen times, but only the patron families have constant access to the astounding creations of the eloim artists. The eloim themselves are more than content to remain a race apart, for so they are, and if the majority were to know their true nature, their lives would be forfeit. After eons of contented cohabitation, a phenomenon known as the Fear is beginning to infect the eloim, who have previously considered themselves free from the petty psychological problems of humanity. They have been virtually immortal-thanks to the protection of the patrons, who exchange their life’s blood for culture-but now the artisans are beginning to die in despair.
Gimel and Beth Metatronim, an actress and a painter, set out to find a Tappish soulscaper, who will be proficient enough to enter the racial soulscape of the eloim, track down the cause of the Fear and eradicate it.
The soulscaper of their choice, Rayojini, is puzzled that her guardian pursuers should be so much more real than those of other soulscapers. Then, as she delves deeper into the cause of the terrible ‘non-death’, a mysterious affliction akin to the Fear, their attentions become unavoidable.
Thin Air

Some years later, strange events begin to unfold that suggest that Dex is still around. Jay realises that there’s more to the mystery than she knew and malign forces begin to close in on her.
