    About this series

    Just once, Nyx Fortuna would like something in her life to be easy . . .

    Nyx has finally managed to dismantle the magic keeping her from her missing memories, but things are a bit . . . fractured. Her mind keeps slipping into different points in her past, and she's not always aware of when the present is.

    The issue couldn't have come at a worse time, because she finally has a lead on the Kumir-the race of identical assassins who have hunted the Hidden to the brink of extinction-but following that lead involves another interstellar trip. Recognizing that covert operations on a foreign planet aren't a good idea with her current problems, Nyx reluctantly agrees to let her friends go without her.

    But when a malfunctioning memory combines with an unintended use of portal magic, Nyx ends up right where she shouldn't be. Complications prevent her from returning to Earth, leaving Nyx to navigate an alien metropolis while hoping her skipping memory doesn't get her killed.

      It's easy to feel forgettable. Nyx literally is, and the condition seems to be getting worse. Homeless and alone, she's at the end of her rope when she stumbles onto Earth Between, a nexus between worlds. The residents may be magical and alien, but they don't have any problem remembering she exists. Though she never intended to become the Guardian of a Waystation between worlds, the gig is pretty simple: act as glorified passport control for the ley lines that connect the planets. But when an illegal traveler slips through her Station, she's given an ultimatum: apprehend him or lose her new job-and the only place she's ever belonged. Things start looking up when the illegal traveler turns himself in, until Nyx learns he actually came to Earth looking for her. He thinks his best friend-and Nyx's ex-boyfriend-hid the most powerful object in the universe with her: the Harvester of Worlds. Nyx is determined to sort out this intergalactic mess, even if she has to visit the most dangerous planet in the galaxy and rescue her ex-boyfriend to do it. If she suspects she's been wearing the Harvester of Worlds as a necklace, what's the worst that could come from a power object with a name like that?

      She's been to the universe's prison planet, why not check the black market off her bucket list next? Life at Nyx's Station has been a little tense of late. There are the fugitives she's hiding, the Harvester of Worlds she still doesn't know what to do with, and then there's the ex-boyfriend she's been avoiding. So when someone from her elusive past shows up in Earth Between, Nyx jumps at the distraction-and the chance to finally get some answers. The only problem is, her childhood friend Seth has no intention of answering any of those questions. When he portal-jumps to the forbidden Shadow Market, it should be a guaranteed escape from a Station Guardian, but Nyx's altered bond with her Station means following him is a possibility. One she has every intention of making a reality. Her newfound friends insist on coming with her, and really, what's the worst that could happen from taking three ex-Enforcers, two Amazons, and one Tiagren shifter to the universe's most notorious black market planet?

      This time, leaving Earth was not Nyx's choice . . . After her latest trip off-planet, Nyx Fortuna has every intention of keeping both feet firmly on Earth. Between trying to figure out why the Kumir have been hunting her friend Seth, searching for a way to destroy the Harvester of Worlds, and getting frustrated by the glacially slow return of her memories, she doesn't have any time for planet-hopping. Unfortunately, the universe has other plans. When she's abducted from Earth Between, Nyx finds herself in the remote reaches of the universe, on planets unconnected to the Station's ley lines. Her only hope lies in mastering the portal magic she's only just discovered she has. But even if she can manage its use, does she have enough magic-and determination-to find her way back home?
