Arihant is a criminal-turned-judge-and-jury, his mind under the control of his reptilian ysura master. Cranky and unhappy with his role as the ysura ruler's mouthpiece, judge, jury, and executioner, he roams the nine rings of the hollow world meting out justice. But when he's ordered to retrieve the stolen wings of the hasant Haresh from the brilliantly obsessed ysura  Jitendra, he finds himself drawn into ysura politics and interpersonal chaos as he teams up with the gorgeous and admiring khocek Madan and the wry warrior woman Rajani.

Child's Play: IV

Michael Aronson has been elected guildmaster of the Order, finally achieving one of his great ambitions. But as newly rescued Cardinal Croix begins to preach a doctrine that could help bring the Order and the Church together, violence against sorcerors is reaching a new high. With Droit, Axton, and DuBaton, Michael must pierce to the core of the corruption in both the Order and the Church ... and maybe even the Palace itself.

(Twenty Questions, the Child's Play III novel told from Axton's point of view, was written in between NaNoWriMos....)

Tegeus Droit must decide whether he's going to remain a killer or venture into the risky arena of new friendships as he, duBaton, Aronson, Axton, and Cardinal Croix are dragged across the Line by the newborn god Far to rescue five children stolen from Blackstone Hospital by none other than Yzyrche, the Lord of Hell, itself.

Four misfit men. Five hunted children. One brand-new god of vengeance. Watch sorcerer Arcady duBaton teams up with the infamous "Red General" Tegeus Droit; excommunicate alienist & anatomist Axton; and sorcerer-nobleman Michael Aronson to investigate drug-smuggling, kidnapping, murder, and the rise of a new and unpredictable Power across the Line.
