    About this series

    Thannarat Vutirangsee has won it all: she's saved her world, married her perfect bride, and found her peace. She is meant to live the rest of her days in a fairytale.

    But the machines are not done with her yet. Her wife Daji has breached the treaty between humans and machines, and for that she will be subjected to a punishment worse than execution.

     

    Thannarat is not a hero. She is an artifact of war, a force of devastating annihilation. All she knows is how to fight. But to save Daji, what she will need the most will not be her gun or her might at arms . . . it will be a confrontation with her past, her mistakes, and a proof that she is more than an engine of violence.

      Recadat Kongmanee has lost everything to the machines: the woman she loved, the hero's prize she was promised, and her memories. All she has left is vengeance. Within the Garden of Atonement, artificial intelligences offer healing and a return to innocence. Brought in as an inmate, Recadat must keep up a dangerous charade while she readies a weapon built to destroy AIs--and prove that machines are not gods. But as she's pulled into games of control and obsession, she draws ever closer to forgetting her purpose. Yet she has not been sent alone, and a hidden ally watches from the shadows to ensure that she carries out her mission . . . or else that she never leaves the Garden alive.WgXcQ

      Admiral Anoushka rose from nothing to command an army unrivaled in all the galaxies. She did not rise alone. War between godlike machines is breaking out, and at its center is the AI who aided Anoushka's ascent. Now payment has come calling: her closest allies are subverted, her body is twisted by poison that bends her toward madness, and her wife has been stolen. The machines will devour the stars as they battle each other for the ultimate prize: the next step in AI evolution, the key that will give them the universe. Yet Anoushka hasn't survived this long to become collateral damage. She will fight until she no longer can . . . and she will take back what's hers.
