Arty Tekken has a problem. Of all the presents in all the world, Tobias' first anniversary gift should be special. Which is why Arty is going to get him something wonderful, fabulous, even...otherworldly. Luckily, Arty can open a wormhole and hitchhike to the ends of time and space, but what should he get? A bumbling attempt to find the perfect present lands Arty on Atashaal, a strange planet where the Living Crystals can be found. Unfortunately, he also finds himself smack bang in the middle of a civil war. Desperate for the secret to Arty's abilities, aliens capture him, seeking the answers. But Arty can no more explain this than he can the garbled voices he alone is hearing. When they start to make sense, Arty's past begins to trickle in, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. All he wants to do now is get off Atashaal no matter what. But with his failing legs, his escape from capture is also hindered by the fact he's swamped in the voices and the burning desire to get back to Tobias. As Arty grows weaker, he doesn't know if he will ever see his beloved Tobias again or whether he'll remain stuck on Atashaal, a prisoner forever in every sense of the word...

Max Bujold is a velociraptor with heart. But because he works undercover to expose illegal activities against humans by saurians, he finds himself embroiled in the sickening underworld culture known as ikizukuri porn. This spectacle, organised by underworld bosses for saurian entertainment, puts bought humans 'on the menu' to be 'used' and eaten alive at the same time. One such human, a young boy named Benjamin, steals Max's heart at the same time as Aston, Max's next-door neighbour, does. And all too quickly, Max discovers he not only needs to save Benjamin, but Aston as well. Can Max, with the help of his saurian friends, prevent the unthinkable? Or will his job force him to live the rest of his days without the loves of his life?

Karl Meddings is what you would call an ordinary guy in every way. He loves his best friend-with benefits-Sagan, with all his heart, and leads a good life. The only unusual thing about his world is the fact he shares it with saurians-the modern-day ancestors of dinosaurs. But now, Karl's boss, a rather attractive tyrannosaurus by the name of Benedict Tumbold, has an interesting proposal for both Karl and Sagan-a proposal that could turn Karl from an ordinary guy with no real prospects to someone special. A hero... Will Karl accept his boss's offer? Will Sagan? Or will an ordinary life be all that Karl's destined for?

The whisperings continue beyond the aftermath of Ealdræd's destruction. And as the dust settles across the universe after such an event, a new, greater evil seizes the opportunity to arise. An evil that begets an evil that will threaten the world in ways the gods can't even fathom. As the Whispering Monks have foretold. The whisperings also mention a boy named Wallace, rescued by Lord Knight Hereward after an unspeakable horror. That boy-destined to be the son of Hereward-has a greater purpose within the machinery of the universe as a demon slayer. But that's just the beginning for Hereward's son. So the whisperings say. The whisperings also speak of Abbot Hosho's mortal creation, Greysen. A man who's an outcast but far more powerful than the supplicant he currently believes he is-more so when the demon he serves releases its hold on him, for Greysen is no longer desired. So it is that these two-Wallace and Greysen-with Lord Hereward's sword, will reshape the world as much as any evil born ever could. Because when good has a greater purpose, everything changes. For better or for the worse? Only the Whispering Monks can say. And they don't whisper about that.

But they didn't expect what would follow their declaration of love. Larry and Jake are being watched.
