Find "Tower Island" here.

She was born to die, but didn't. Now, she must find her new sacred purpose.
Raised to be a sacrifice to the stone monsters her people believe roam Tower Island, Kalturi washes up on the island only to discover that the place is not what her people assumed it was. The great stone monsters are, in fact, only statues, carved by the hand of a man named Crafter. Adrift without her sacred purpose, Kalturi scours the island in an attempt to find something that will give her life meaning. When this search lands her before Crafter, whom she despises, Kalturi finds herself forced to confront her beliefs about what makes a person valuable, and what she was created for.

*Wires and Wings

"What if Cinderella went to the ball to kill the prince?" In a world where cyborgs are seen as less than human and sent to kill each other for entertainment, Ashera decides to do something about it. Little does she know, the prince hides a secret that may unify them in their efforts.

*Firefall

As the stone-bone spreads through their camp, the Neherum blame the single unstricken member of their camp for their misfortune: A young boy named Ro. Banished from his people, he sets out to find a cure for the disease--for his master, but not those who hate him. As his journey takes him to the Firefall itself, he finds himself forced to reckon with the Creator who cares for them all the same.

*Bringer of Light

As one of the priestesses that tends the Light That Does Not Fade, Evanora finds herself doubting the Creator's goodness as her people starve around her. When the flame in their sacred chalice finally goes out, Evanora finds herself faced with a choice: give in to despair or learn where the light really comes from.
