This is Prospero's darkest hour. The few remaining humans trapped within the quarantine zone are all but defenseless against the multiplying forces of the Sliver Queen, Locusta. With Ben missing, Aldo among the enemy ranks, and more steel plates than bones left in her body, Mina's passing the hours drowning in morphine and throwing heavy objects at her guards. Stripped of her weapons, her gadgets, and the Network itself, she has just one card left, hidden somewhere under her oft-sutured skin. It might be powerful enough to complete her life's work once and for all... or to reach the one person who could make her life into more than a means to an end. But playing it will cost everything she has, or everything she believes in. The final chronicle of Prospero waits in these pages.

For over a century, the town of Green Beach has frightened its children with the tragic legend of Joshua Thorne. He's the reason it not only locks its doors at night but nails its windows shut. Steeped in romance and revenge, his is the kind of story Angela Ironwright lives for. When the specter of Joshua appears to her, insisting she's the only one who can help him piece together the fragments of his own murder, she follows him without a second thought into a place he calls the Pocket, a beautiful hidden world of jumbled memory and imagination. But the Pocket holds more than magic and mystery. Before long, its other reclusive inhabitants begin to call out to Angela, warning her not to trust Joshua and begging for her help to escape his dark power. Angela's sure there must be some misunderstanding, and she's determined to set it straight. Otherwise, finding justice will mean betraying the only boy who's ever liked her. Smart and genre-savvy, Out of the Pocket is a dark, honest, subversive take on the modern paranormal love story.
