Heretics: Archaeologist Nel Bently returns to Earth searching for a deadly radio transmission. At every turn she is forced to question her allies and on which side Lin will fall when a line is finally drawn.

Fugitives: Nel Bently joins a fleet of refugees escaping across the stars, hunted at every turn by the only woman she ever made the mistake of loving. Then a grisly discovery sheds horrific light on the voices in Nel's head-and what, exactly, Lin is after.

Emissaries: Dr. Nel Bently is better at wielding her temper and trowel than her words, but Samsara's dead have chosen her to speak for them. And the cacophony calls for justice. She and Lin set out across the sinister jungle of the Nalawangsa estate, but their incendiary relationship isn't helped by the fact that Nel can't decide whether she wants to kiss Lin, or blast her out the nearest airlock.
