A new force, the Amaraddan Guard, rules the streets of Umber, forcing citizens into indentured servitude to pay fines imposed upon them. With Emerane dead and the Furie still in hiding, the city's only hope lies with demi-god Grael. But when the Guard finds and exploits Grael's weakness, who will be left to stop them?

As Umber's guardians fall to assassins, the unwary citizens partake in the annual Festival of Utu, celebrating life, luck, and the bygone age of myths. But not for long. A new peacekeeping force chooses Utu's Night to take charge, a force that will stop at nothing to establish control over the unruly city. And with Emerane gone, who's to stop them?

Night's Dominion Season 2 #1

Science Police Team G.R.E.A.T. has its best people hunting down Electrogor, the one remaining fugitive from the Kaijumax prison break. 30-story robot Chisato and her weaponized space superhero partner Jeong are scouring everywhere from the Ring of Fire to the seedy harbor areas of Tokyo for him -- but will any cop brave the squatters at the graffiti-covered Kraken House? Also: Backstreet chases! Brutal interrogations! Deadly confidants! And… transferrable insanity?

With its new lawkeepers showing their true colors as cruel oppressors, the people of Umber rise up to resist. But they need a hero to inspire them. If Grael loses all hope, and the Furie's wound proves fatal, who is left to lead the people against the Amaraddan Guard? [Part 2 of 4]

As poison slowly claims the Furie, Emerane attempts the unthinkable. With the help of the Magus's necromancy, she infiltrates the dominion of death itself. If all goes well, Emerane may be able to rescue the Furie's soul from the shores of oblivion. But if she fails, she will be claimed by Uhlume, the god of death. [Part 1 of 4]

For over thirty years, Dominion of Blades has been the hottest online role-playing game in the world. Any gamer with an immersion rig can enter the world of sword and sorcery, of goblins and dragons, and they can hack and slash their way to glory. But the game is too real for some, and after an epidemic of real-life fatalities, public use of the immersion technology has been banned, causing the game to be shut down. Jonah wakes to find himself in-game, level one, with no memory of how he arrived and no way to eject. With only two companions, trapped in a world that once hosted millions, Jonah must battle his way across a treacherous landscape, fighting virtual monsters, all-too-real pain, and a very human enemy in a desperate bid to survive.
