    Summary

    "You've seen the posters. You know, the ones for missing kids. The ones hung on grocery store bulletin boards and gas station walls, dog-eared and ancient-looking under their scratched, yellowing glass. All those names and dates and blurry, weather-stained snapshots. Look at those faces some time, really look. Because I’ll tell you a secret.

    It’s a lie.

    The ones who vanished without a trace? Missing for years, even decades…just gone, like they’ve dropped off the face of the earth? Those are Fae kidnappings.

    My name is Virgil Storm, and I was one of them."

    Virgil escaped from Arcadia after sixteen years of faery imprisonment, bearing colored rings around his pupils and the ability to sprout flowers from any substance. He thought he was free.

    Two years later, his faery master tracked him down.

    Summary

    If there’s one rule about knocking on strange doors, it’s that you’d better be damn sure that what’s on the other side of them is better than what’s chasing you down on yours.

    Summary

    Virgil has been able to erase memories since he was a little kid, and his best friend Janus is similar in that he has a superpower too, the ability to sense lies and secrets. Virgil never really intends to use his power other than to get rid of awkward moments that would otherwise keep him up at night, but unfortunately, the new student Diggory has other plans, and his actions towards Virgil will dramatically alter his life in a way Virgil isn't sure he'll ever be able to come back from.

    Summary

    Names are important. Names have power, though what kind of power depends on the kind of name. This much, he knows.

    Real Names are the Name your parents give you, the first Name you knew meant you. They’re tied to you before you know how to say them, so much part of you they must be treated with care, kept secret from all but your closest loved ones, for any who know them can exert their power on you for their own ends.

    Then there’s the name you choose, the Safety Name, your public name, closer to a mask than a name. It’s attached to the you shown to the world, it functions like a shield, a wall between yourself and any who might attempt to magically influence you.

    He thinks he remembers there being more kinds of names than that, but he can’t remember what they are. He just knows— he thinks that they exist.

    He knows all of this. What he doesn’t know are his own names. Not anymore.

    Not after It found him, and changed him somehow. Everything before It is blurry and indistinct, save for that he knows he wasn't always like this, and that It is why he is.

    No, the only Name he knows himself by is the one It gave him, after finding amusement in his well-founded terror of It: Anxiety.

    Summary

    Roman Phillips: 29-year-old spy assigned to a fairly standard mission. The goal? Find Virgil Morris, an alleged hacker who somehow managed to download the personal information of every spy in Roman's agency--The Rogers Institute for Intelligence and Security (more commonly known as RIIS). But it seems that the unassuming target is far more valuable than RIIS anticipated--something COTECH (RIIS's rival agency) plans to take full advantage of.

    With the help of Patton Hart and agent Logan Fletcher, they plan to expose these plans and topple the corrupt rival agency.

    They're going to need a lot of coffee.

    Excerpt:

    Virgil swallowed hard, trying to shove down the thoughts about how attractive this dude looked when he was flustered and focusing on the fact that he had literally just started speaking gibberish: 'What the hell is COTECH? Why am I, of all people, being accused of hacking secret government files? Can you cut fingers on cheekbon—Damn it.'
