Zetter Kohl will do anything to survive, or so he believes. But when a thwarted mugging leads him to a job too good to be true, he has nowhere to turn. Not to the citizens of the city or the techno-gangs of Lowquat. He can't even trust his own reality as it melts around him. No matter what, he'll never be a citizen, but he can never go back to the back alleys of his youth. Nor to the woman who haunts his dreams.
As a child Ella read books under the covers with a flashlight. There she found a special love of elves, dragons, and knights. Now that she's found her own knight in shining armor and happily ever after, she loves to write tales of fantasy, hot enough to scorch the sheets. No flashlight needed.
