    Summary

    Letting someone into your head means letting them know you to your core, and then losing them means being alone in a way you never could have been before.

    Ranger Ryu Rumi, former pilot of the legendary Mark IV jaeger Demon Song and a survivor of the Jaeger Program's golden age, before everything went wrong and the war turned against them, has paid that price. Once the pride of the Shatterdome, now she's scarred and alone, and the sheer weight of the loss has her resigned to that fate.

    So failed cadets Mira and Zoey, humanity’s last hope, have no place in her lonely world. But with the Breach growing more active again, Rumi is forced to return to the Shatterdome to teach them how to love what she lost, and to hold on to each other harder than anyone outside of the Drift ever could.

    But the Drift is a tricky thing, it calls to the heart and soul, so they start to want to hold on to her too, even as she tries to stay away. Because the Drift already ruined her once, and she doesn't have the strength to risk it happening again.

    Summary

    Zoey Choi and Kang Mira, students of Marine Biology and Marine Archaeology, respectively, earn the opportunity of a lifetime as interns for an expedition to Jeju Island. They are entrenched in the island's unique cultures and traditions, and with luck, their studies will help to preserve them for future generations.

    But a diving accident puts the girls face-to-face with a living, breathing fiction that shakes their realities: a mermaid. Soon, they come to learn that secrets persist around Jeju just as stubbornly as the islanders' traditions, and they have unwittingly been drawn into a fragile web of deception and mysticism that runs deeper than they ever could have imagined.

    And in the middle of the hurricane of questions they have, seated directly in the eye, is a mermaid with jagged purple patterns.

    Summary

    “And how much longer can we keep searching, Mi-yeong! We can’t keep hosting auditions for these snobby, spoiled rich girls, thinking they’re going to be the next big hit!” Celine snapped, causing her students to flinch slightly at the sudden, unexpected outburst.

    “The Honmoon is the weakest it’s ever been. Demons are breaking through almost every day. We are working ourselves to exhaustion. We need to find this girl. And in all honesty, I don’t think we’ll find her gambling her life away at some club.”

    Or

    What if Rumi were raised by her dad?

    Summary

    It had been six months since they lost Rumi.

    Six months since that terrible fight in the snow, when it was so cold Mira's fingers had started to go numb on her gok-do. When Zoey hadn't been able to throw her shin-kal accurately due to the wind. When Rumi had broken off from the two of them, chasing down a group of Faceless, vanishing into the storm.

    It was a mistake, they all knew it.

    And that mistake had cost them.

    Mira would never be able to get Rumi's scream out of her memory, too far for her to do anything about it, too late to save her soulmate.

    They didn't even have a body to bury, vanished into ash by the time Zoey and Mira made it to the point Rumi had been felled.

    Or. Rumi is turned into a weapon. Mira and Zoey are forced to figure out if anything remains of their soulmate
