Blaze – Sky on Fire

While the citizens of Soot-City believe Cleo and Gwynnie to be dead, the sisters are planning the liberation of the city from the underground. Only when the constantly smoking industrial chimney is destroyed and the Industrials are disempowered, life can really change for the better in Soot-City. But Toska Liebkind won’t give up without fighting and the anger at the sweeps grows further among the citizens. Cleo worries about Leander, who is in great danger due to his membership of the guild. And he still doesn’t know that she survived… When the supply of coal comes to a halt and the events threaten to get out of control, Cleo and Gwynnie have to make a decision: Do they continue to operate in the shadows or do they reveal themselves as rebels – even if it could mean their death? 

Isle of Wandering Curses – Caitlín's Burden

Sky has the recurring dream about a storm that destroys Sidh until there’s nothing left but ashes. The message seems to be very clear. She has to free the island from the curses that have been haunting it for generations. With that, she could also help the people who mean the most to her: Her mother Moira, who struggles with the late complications of a curse instead of finally starting her own B&B. Rory, who longs for more than just secret kisses at the beach. And Jamie, whose future at the shipyard Sky desperately wants to save at any cost. As Sky realises that breaking one curse after another isn’t enough but it’s about something much bigger, she sees herself at the finish line. But she misses the most important aspect – until it’s almost too late.

Blaze – Spark in the Air

Soot-City is threatened by a new danger: An unknown firebug sets seemingly random houses on fire. The sweeps do everything to protect the residents. Therefore, they need to take measures that fan the embers of rage among the citizens. Cleo and Leander experience at first hand how easily a single spark can ignite the tense situation. In their attempt to protect the population from the firebug, they inevitably get closer to each other. By now, Gwynnie is no longer the only one who is convinced that the city must finally be liberated from the soot and the power of the Industrials. It’s about life and death – especially for the people that Cleo loves…

Isle of Wandering Curses – Moira’s Dream

After her recovery from Malaria, Sky’s mother Moira arrived in Sidh, but rather than staying for a while she plans to leave … and take Sky with her. Sky, who is still uncertain whether she wants to continue her dangerous task, decides to buy herself some time by removing the curse on Tigh-Violet-Rose manor. The council finds out and they demand Sky to stay at the manor and prove that the curses has truly been lifted, but as is turns out it wasn’t just simply a curse that affected the roses, but all things staying overnight at the manor… Faced with the true power of the curse, Sky is reluctant to stay at the manor and Moira volunteers on her behalf. At first everything seems fine, but as Moira’s illness returns and the water turns brackish, Sky is faced with the consequences of a curse lifting gone wrong.
