    About this series

    Taryn has come a long way in just a few months, and now everything is coming to a head. With the rogue AI Tremayne offline, Taryn and his fellow Servants of the Tower, along with their former enemies from Onyx, must face the ultimate threat to their very existence: a race of aliens who harvest humans for food. The inhabitants of Achillios must come to grips with the fact that their entire world was created to be a trap for these aliens, and they themselves are the bait. Assisted by the AI of their original colony ship, Taryn and his companions must fully master the ancient technologies left to them, eliminate the alien attackers, and save their world.

      Taryn wasn't expecting his younger brother's Test Day to be an ordinary day, but he had no idea it would turn out as it did. Rather than beginning a humble apprenticeship to a master instrument maker, Taryn found himself thrust into the strange and mysterious world of the Tower of Alabaster, suddenly charged with the city's welfare and protection. The Tower is astonishing, and its Servants are capable of controlling the weather, moving the earth itself, and other wondrous tasks. He finds himself at the center of a complex inter-city political balance, with Alabaster delicately positioned on the scales of an all-out regional war. As Taryn tries to find his new place in life, he discovers intrigue, centuries-old mysteries and misunderstandings, and the inner strength that he will need in order to save the city and all who live within.

      Taryn is mastering the ancient machines that made Achillios livable for human beings. But now he's traveled far from his home city of Alabaster. He and a team of other operators, trained to interface with the machines, need to repair the damage done by the rebels from the hidden city of Onyx. Nobody is clear on what the rebels are planning, what they want, or when they will strike next.   Those rebels, meanwhile, are scattering, fearful of discovery after their two agents in Alabaster were captured. They're planning not only to fade into the background, but to continue their urgent mission.    Onyx continues the story of Alabaster, uncovering some of Achillios' greatest mysteries. Taryn will encounter new challenges, and he'll be forced deep into Achillio's unknown and troubled past. He'll discover lost technologies and techniques, but he'll also be confronted with the terrible cost of using them – and be left to wonder if his ancestors hadn't been right when they decided to stop using the machines altogether.
