This series is huge, untitled, and rambling. Untimately, all of the storylines will converge in "Return to Enda Buleu," which I haven't even started working on yet, but take comfort that the end is in sight.
Over the last three years, I've gotten a lot of questions about what order to read these stories in. I've arranged them in what I would call "order," but it isn't always the choronological order in which they occurr. For example, "Safe Haven" takes place just before "A Matter of Capture," but I would recommend you read "Matter" directly after "The Chosen Battle," because otherwise the story will lose momentum. You'll have to just trust me on this one.
The Gift of Death: Ash Redfern, his best friend, and Quinn band together to track down a killer. Who turns out to be an ally. Who turns out to be a soulmate. (PG, violence)Ashes and Embers: Mary-Lynette dumps Ash. Sit back and watch the fireworks. (PG-13, language)
To Tilt a Scale: The TAQ team has been assigned to find a healer. This story is graphic, depressing, has a sad ending, and doesn't portray Quinn in a pleasant light. (R, violence, language)
Dialogues: So Far Away: Trying to figure out exactly what happened to Quinn? Here it is, along with how a couple of the others reacted. This story is told entirely in dialogue. (PG)
Where There's Smoke: Ash and Nina face the truth about their relationship when Mary-Lynette pays a visit to Ash's apartment. Guess who answers the door? (PG)
Hale Dirge: A rather strange story about the inner turmoil of a young woman who heads the support group for people living without their soulmates. Unusual. ("Joel Newman" is the brilliant creation of Dessa Veleur, used here with her permission.) (PG)
Resurrections: Martin O'Bach is alone at Tata Acasa on the night of the Winter Solstice, wandering through the snow and unconsciously considering suicide. Cafi Dana arrives questioning her faith in almost everything, having promised Marty's father to help his son. They don't know what to expect from each other or from themselves. They don't know the kind of magic being afraid together can create. They don't know that they aren't alone. (R, violence, dead rodents)
The Chosen Battle: My biggest, baddest, most wildly encompassing story yet, with an international cast of characters, a lot of back-stabbing and violence and weirdness. Thierry gets sick of being the top man and represses his entire memory, causing chaos and tragedy within Circle Daybreak. (R, violence, mature themes, language, homosexual undercurrents)
A Matter of Capture: Back by popular demand, here's what happened when Teth and Mira finally made up. This story carries through a lot of the themes from The Chosen Battle. (PG-13, mature themes)
Frissons: One of my favorite pieces. Morgead tries to brighten life within the compound for Jez on Christmas Eve by planning an outing with Ash. Naturally, things go terribly awry. Fun, light, adventurous. (R, language, violence)
Unbegotten: This story has it all: melodrama, violence, romance, parent issues, ex-girlfriends, sex, blood, Fish TV, incest, broken friendships...You name it. Ash is sitting home alone on New Year's Eve when his and Mary-Lynnette's children from an alternate time line appear on the doorway. Some chapters make me cringe to read, some are the finest I've ever written. (R, sex, violence, language, incest, other mature themes)
Having It Once: Ever wonder what exactly went on between Rowan and Maegan while Ash sat in the living during "Unbegotten"? Here's your chance to find out. (NC-17, sex, language, homosexuality, incest, adult content.)
Safe Haven: This is the most insane thing I've ever written. I love it. It features Ash and Iliana in the two main roles, but Marty, Cafi, Zion, Nina, Quinn, and three new-comers - Grahme's son Stephen-Kyle and a couple I could write ten novels about, Nick and Saina - also play important parts. The story reads like a 12-hour punch in the gut, there's a lot of violence, a lot of action, a lot of angst, and this really unbelievable scene where a kitchen comes to life and attacks people. This sets the scene for "The Fourth Good Measure." (NC-17, language, violence, gore, necrophelia)
Walking Alone: A stream-of-consciousness from Aradia's point of view. Sad and quiet. (G, very short)
Blind Devotion: An unexpected sequel the meaning of which plays heavily on the entire series. It won't be clear until "The Fourth Good Measure" why, but the story itself is pretty startling. (PG, non-gory, unseen violence)
