The four short stories in this book revisit the characters of the Morningstar Series in a new way. Learn how the Collector recruited one of the sacred priests of the Akai, meet a remarkable boy who undertakes a daring and dangerous rescue mission aided by Kusini's magic, follow Amaoke as he tracks a cannibalistic madman, and join Weston for an exorcism with a twist. LJ Farrow's metahuman protagonists from north, south, east, and west return to give the reader more background on their adventures. This small book of short stories is a bridge between the four original novels and the morningstar, the fifth and final book of the series.

Here are five stories of fierce females that will surprise you, frighten you, and encourage you to think. A young woman fights for her life against an invisible enemy. The Devil infiltrates a convent school. A deep space pilot must rescue her ex-husband from an artificial intelligence nightmare. A woman finds love in an unlikely encounter. These tales are anchored by the novella Duet des Fleurs, the story of Athes, a human/amphibian hybrid in a postapocalyptic conundrum. Athes searches for a way to reproduce a human mutation required for underwater survival on a dying Earth. When she discovers that everything she has ever believed in was a lie, she faces a future she didn't choose, to escape repeating the mistakes of the past. She must follow the truth, even if it results in human extinction.
