Eternity consumed the local sun three galactic turns ago. In its place is an accretion disk, people cast two shadows, and life can only exist in Circles formed by gigantic light-bearing Trees. Beyond them are icy chill and Darkness, and on the border between them, Shadow, the land of everlasting sunset. It is the domain of strange creatures and unusual plants that have never seen light, a place teeming with Worms whose only purpose is to devour every living thing, while the few sentients only care about putting you into slave's shackles.

Turns out, I'm not on Earth. Not on another planet, either. Everything is much worse. We ended up in an inhabited Circle of an ancient Dyson sphere that replaced the Solar System six galactic turns ago. There is no moon and no stars, and giant Ygg-Trees play the role of the sun. How can this be? Nobody knows. The locals call this place Unity, and it's governed by strict laws. Here, there are ordinary people and Ascendants capable of performing miracles with the aid of Slates and Runes. There are Watchers and the legacy of the ancient Kel civilization, celestial islands and mysterious Domains.

"Hiermit ergeht folgender Befehl: - Verbindung der Militär-Orbitale entsprechend des Himmelsangriffsplans. - Start eines synchronisierten Angriffs auf den Schwarzen Mond, sobald dieser in Reichweite kommt. - Völlige Entleerung der Absolute-Reaktoren sämtlicher Raketen zur Sicherstellung des Vernichtungsvorgangs." Als Grey mit einer Armee neuer Verbündeter zurückkehrte, war die Legion besiegt. Viele Inkarnatoren hatten den Heldentod erlitten, und die Stadt stand kurz vor der völligen Zerstörung.

When the ark began emergency jettisoning the colonists, I got unlucky three times. The first occurred when the runic defenses of the Kel shot down my capsule above a forbidden Circle. The second was when it crashed next to the White Devil's tomb. And the third time, when I climbed into a wounded noxwolf's lair and discovered Starblood. Other Ascendants would call it good fortune, but I'll put it this way: had I left it alone, I might have remained a normal person.

The Bina Shea call us a 'Dead Swarm'. We may resemble a swarm, but we're not quite dead yet. We are very much alive. We're human. Always remain human, as Prometheus used to say. These words can have many meanings but right now, their message is perfectly clear to all of us Incarnators.

“Alle mal hergehört! Dies ist eine Direktive des diensthabenden Großlegaten von Stellar! Suchen Sie den Kugelstern. Eliminieren Sie den Daat. Bringen Sie die Erste Legion wieder zusammen. Wenn alles abgeschlossen ist, versuchen Sie um jeden Preis, den Schwarzer-Mond-Alarm zu beseitigen." Der Rat der Archons wurde gestürzt. Prometheus' letzte Befehle wurden erhalten. Dennoch steht eine neue Gefahr kurz davor, die Stadt heimzusuchen. Grey bricht zur Neuen Arche auf, um sich seinem alten Feind zu stellen. Oder ist es ein Freund?

“In einem Körper oder körperlos, tot oder lebendig, ungeachtet meiner momentanen Gestalt und Verkleidung schwöre ich hiermit, mich stets dem Bösen entgegenzustellen und der Furcht zu trotzen, um die Menschheit zu beschützen ...” Sobald Greys wahre Identität ans Licht kommt, breitet der gewaltige Schatten seiner Vergangenheit in seinem Rücken die Flügel aus und ruft die unsterblichen Truppen auf die Esplanade, um den uralten Eid der Ersten Legion zu erfüllen. Doch Macht wird nur ungern geteilt, und in dieser Hinsicht stellen die Archons der Stadt keine Ausnahme dar.

Jeder Überlebende träumt davon, eines Tages die Stadt zu erreichen. Als letzte Hoffnung der Menschheit verfügt sie über die besten Ressourcen und klügsten Köpfe und bringt die Crème de la Crème der überlebenden Zivilisation zusammen. Hinter den uneinnehmbaren Mauern und unter der undurchdringlichen Schutzkuppel tobt das Leben in der Stadt, das fast nicht von der hochmodernen Kultur der berühmten utopianischen Ära zu unterscheiden ist. Grey macht sich auf die Reise in die Stadt und will dem Geheimnis um seine Vergangenheit auf den Grund gehen.

Objective: Neutralize the destructive effects produced by the xeno object known as THE BLACK MOON on PLANET EARTH. All means are hereby authorized and all further information is classified.

Now that Grey has delivered the city from the attacking hordes, he still has a lot of work on his hands. He needs to pay the Bina Shea a visit, find the Bullet Star, investigate the mysterious Project Aurora—and above all, he needs to restore the First Legion to its former glory. But most importantly, he must eliminate the Daat and cancel the deal that Prometheus struck with the treacherous demon many centuries ago . . .

The Seven Keys have been collected, and the world created solely to entertain has come alive. The one who gains control over them will rule Sphere. Who will it be—the Demon King, the digitized players, the corporations, or the people hiding under the masks of the Seven Brothers? The stakes are higher than ever, and the merchant’s life is once again at risk—after all, he holds one of the Keys that grant the power to create and destroy worlds at will.

By the time Grey had come back with an army of new allies, the Legion had been defeated. Many an Incarnator had fallen as heroes, leaving the City on the brink of destruction. Thousands of souls still trapped inside the Cube are trying to break free from their extradimensional prison while the Star watches impassively from its celestial heights.

They say that the Sphere of Worlds has no limits and that its players enter a new universe brimming with mysteries. And this universe is now readying to defend itself. Whoever has got involved in the game just can't stop anymore. In the search for the Keys, Cat and Weldy set off for the Abyss—the netherworlds of the Sphere—where Cat is about to play against the strongest of all the oracles: the legendary Demon King. And the stake in the game is horrendously simple: Cat's own life.

In the endless game of Sphere of Words, the trader named Cat continues searching for the Keys hidden by the dead creators of the virtual reality.

Pandorum is launching a massive offensive, aiming to destroy Cat and his clan. As they’re blazing through everything in their path, thousands of players clash in battle, and the biggest alliances of Sphere join the fray. Can Cat stay on the sidelines? After all, he’s able to buy and sell almost anything in the game—even victory itself. Cat fights his own war in economics and trade. Which role will the merchant play in a bloody war fated to go down in the history of the game as the Battle for the North?

Meet Cat. He thinks everything has its price. You can pay in gold, or you pay in steel. And for the right price, even the entire Sphere of Worlds can be bought. Ever the merchant, he pays in souls, freeing the Goddess of Darkness in the astral fortress of Pandorum and becoming the archnemesis of the most powerful alliance in all of Sphere. Even as an enormous bounty is placed on his head with hunters trailing his every move, he never wavers. His patron, the God of Shadows, sends Cat to the twilight world of the Hole to find the third of the seven Keys.

Now that Cat has discovered his sword’s secret and received the task to collect the Seven Keys, he’s not in a hurry to complete the new quest. Why would he care about the future of the world when he has much more exciting things to do, like claiming his place in the clan, participating in the redistributing of trade influence, and just plain making money? Cat starts building his own trading empire—and ends up getting involved in an all-out economic war. Having gotten the taste of real money, he travels to the Bazaar, the world’s biggest marketplace at the crossroads of trade routes.

Cat is a wannabe merchant who specializes in procuring in-game valuables to sell for real money. He's a cunning trickster who wriggles his way out of trouble thanks to his quick wit and his trading talents, and his credo is “Anyone can be bought provided the price is right." He starts from scratch, using every opportunity to advance his plans. The first book in the Rogue Merchant series, The Starlight Sword is the story of this common trader’s rise to becoming the world’s newest legend, the most famous merchant in the entire Sphere of the Worlds

When the shattered fragments of the Black Moon collapsed onto planet Earth, splitting continents apart and flooding them with raging oceans, Darkness descended onto our world. The eruptions of hostile energy from behind the Edge distorted the laws of the physical world, creating new life forms which now threaten to take over the planet. The last remaining vestiges of humankind, too desperate for their own survival, have nothing to offer against their advance. So it's time to activate Incarnation: the last instruction issued by Project Stellar.

What's this book about? It's about the ancient mysteries of the Earth ravaged by mysterious entities from over the Edge. About the Black Moon hovering over the planet's one last remaining City and about its Legion created by Incarnators of old. About the Possessed warped by the power of primeval Darkness. About the Warriors, Enchanters, and Technomancers who once rose to defend humanity from the ancient evil.
