Summary
Ryou, a relentlessly repressed and controlled accountant, accidentally slips between dimensions. Since he's a practical, cautious man and not a complete idiot, he retraces his steps and slips right back out again, but he brought someone along with him. And now his life is going to take a sharp turn away from "repressed" and "controlled" to very strange places indeed: into a warped image of the past and into a very uncertain future, through war and violence, to the very edges of reality and beyond.

Summary
General William Falkirk is made an offer: surrender to the mercies of the enemy king and his country’s people will be spared. Expecting nothing but brutal execution, William agrees — only to find that King Alexander has no intention of granting death to the man who killed his father.
Stripped of his old life — enslaved and put to gruelling labour — William fights to keep his sense of self and dignity, unable to understand the depths of the powerful young king's unsettling preoccupation with him. And all the while, the Gods of both countries watch on, their eyes trained on the two men; silent in their own, fearful, knowledge of what is to come.

Summary
“I could devour you,” Samiel says gently, and Jay can feel the heat of his words sinking into his translator. “Won't you let me, pretty human? I'd make it ever so good for you.” His voice is intimate, filthy; that of a lover. Of a predator that has caught its prey.
Or:
Wing Commander Jason Lane is doing his best. He's got a political coup to stop; a peace treaty to negotiate; half a planet out to kill him and - oh yes, Samiel.
Always, Samiel.
