Weston, priest exemplar on special Vatican assignment. He operates outside of clerical hierarchy, answerable only to the Pope. For Father Weston is not just any priest. He is the half-demon child of a revivalist minister corrupted by the Morningstar, and his ability to attract demons is useful to Rome. Will it also provide a pathway for the Morningstar to carry out the ultimate destruction?

The four short stories in this book revisit the characters of the Morningstar Series in a new way. Learn how the Collector recruited one of the sacred priests of the Akai, meet a remarkable boy who undertakes a daring and dangerous rescue mission aided by Kusini's magic, follow Amaoke as he tracks a cannibalistic madman, and join Weston for an exorcism with a twist. LJ Farrow's metahuman protagonists from north, south, east, and west return to give the reader more background on their adventures. This small book of short stories is a bridge between the four original novels and the morningstar, the fifth and final book of the series.

Athes searches for a way to reproduce a human mutation required for underwater survival on a dying Earth. When she discovers that everything she has ever believed in was a lie, she faces a future she didn't choose, to escape repeating the mistakes of the past. She must follow the truth, even if it results in human extinction.
