Hurricane Dorian did more than devastate the islands of the Caribbean, it pulled something from the depths. It drew a history the goddess Tyche thought long buried to the surface and right into the halls of her casino resort, Par Impar. In this collection of short stories, Tyche comes face to face with men who once knew her as the Pirate Queen Lady Luck and risks losing everything--including the lives of her resort's guests.
A council of goddesses calls a healer, a warrior, a bard, and a monk to fight for them.
When an iguana falls at Sean Mulligan's feet on an unseasonably cold Florida day, he thinks it's interesting, especially since things like that don't happen in Chicago where he'll be returning after his spring break. Unable to leave the animal frozen on the ground, he takes it back to his rental and when the creature wakes up he announces that he's an envoy from the god of healing and Sean needs to come with him.
Arguments of finishing med school or even his lease refuses to sway the iguana, who introduces himself as Hank. To appease him, Sean follows orders and soon finds himself on an uncharted Caribbean island and face to face with nine goddesses--all of him want him to heal those who are coming to fight. If he doesn't? He goes back to Chicago and dies as fate intended.
Left with no choice, Sean has to make his way in his new life. His only allies? An iguana named Hank and the goddess Tyche.

Lizzi has mostly moved on from the incident with the bank, and her fellow students seem to have forgotten. It helps that she’s now eating lunch and riding with Lirael Runebitten, the daughter of a powerful Elf family who can make things happen. But Lizzi is struggling to keep up with her other friends, and when the school starts a rodeo club, she’s thinking about adding something else to her already busy schedule. Lizzi realizes she’s going to have to choose, and a rough dressage test brings that choice ever closer. She’d hoped to have the holiday break to think about things, but her decision to bring Corbie home creates its own bunch of problems. And now Xenia has been acting strangely, almost as if she likes Lizzi. With each passing day Lizzi is getting more and more unsure of just what her place at Divine Rein is supposed to be and who the best source of advice might be.

Torn between two words, Tory trains with the Musimagium and with Diego, a "Mad Bard". Diego is pushing her to learn how to create magic without her clarinet, almost as if he knows something is going to happen. And maybe he does. Alamar is acting strange, regressing into an almost child-like state. And none of her Musimagium mentors will allow her to do anything about the prison complex where she'd found Alamar. Any action is all tied up in red tape.
With the help of Pito, her magical bearded dragon, Tory works to get to the bottom of it. But when Alamar disappears and Tory has had enough of being told no, she decides to take matters into her own hands. Will her rash actions cost her everything, including her life?
