Laying low in America, Jameson Parker is going to have to find himself a way to be useful if he wants to benefit from the protection of the paranormal power brokers on this side of the pond: bitter Machiavellian vampires. But when staying on their good side means sliding back into the darkness, is his survival really worth cutting ties with those he left behind?

Humberside City, nestled in the north of Britain, is on fire, and it has taken a few weeks for anyone to really notice. The fire brigade have been doing their best, as have the other emergency services, but whoever is behind the fires has been systematically running them ragged. Whitehall is worried. Something doesn’t add up, so they’ve dispatched a warlock - a former illegal mage, pressed into service of the government to deal with matters of the arcane - to look things over.

Victorian London is a playground, provided you are the right sort of person. Jack Snide has put a lot of effort into being exactly this type of person, and now it's all about to pay off. One final job, the score that will set him up for life and, ironically, it's entirely legal. Well, perhaps not entirely. Buying up a big part of the city does require money, a lot of it, and getting that amount of scratch together has been a little...tricky. But, ostensibly, it's all above board. It's almost like he's a good person.

A decade of freezing darkness, and the sun is rising on what's left of humanity. Giant cities stride, roll, and crawl across the frozen wasteland, desperate to stay one step ahead of the devastating storms that share the planet with them. And yet, no one seems to remember that it's not just the weather that can kill. Wendy Milton rides the galleons - ships that carve their way through the ice on giant razors - securing the route for her home city. It's noble work, but there's profit to be made, too, especially if one happens to discover a wrecked machine from the pre-ice days.
