From bonebreaker in the employ of a heartless moneylender, to fugitive from the law, life isn't easy for a gutter-born sellsword like Geth. When one final injustice lands him on the run, his next stop is the hanging tree, until he pledges his blade to an embattled king.

Nothing is decided. Umbel is enveloped in war. Geth languishes in prison. And the king's enemies multiply, sharpening their knives in the shadows. But before Geth can help his friends, he must first emerge from the darkest hole in all the Sworn Realms. He won't find things in good shape when he does. King Hadean is trapped under siege while Phelan rots in a cell. Hostile tribesmen have overrun the north. Treacherous allies hold the south. With a deadly foreign assassin somewhere in their midst, the future has never looked more bleak. Geth needs allies.

Hig survived the flu that killed everyone he knows. His wife is gone, his friends are dead, he lives in the hangar of a small abandoned airport with his dog, his only neighbor a gun-toting misanthrope. In his 1956 Cessna, Hig flies the perimeter of the airfield or sneaks off to the mountains to fish and to pretend that things are the way they used to be. But when a random transmission somehow beams through his radio, the voice ignites a hope deep inside him that a better life exists beyond the airport.

In this Hugo-winner from Connie Willis, when too many jumps back to 1940 leave 21st century Oxford history student Ned Henry exhausted, a relaxing trip to Victorian England seems the perfect solution. But complexities like recalcitrant rowboats, missing cats, and love at first sight make Ned's holiday anything but restful—to say nothing of the way hideous pieces of Victorian art can jeopardize the entire course of history.

Winner takes all. The tribes may have been expelled, but with half the realm in the hands of a usurper, the fate of Geth's new home hangs in the balance. And his head will be first on the chopping block if the traitor prevails. At least he knows which direction to turn his sword. But can he tip the scales without pitting brother against brother in civil war? The board is set, every piece already in motion. When Geth's search for allies takes him back home, he'll find all his old enemies waiting for him. And a few new ones.
