    Summary

    Not all candidates graduate from mech pilot training. The engineer is one such person. Her job is to access the mechs of other pilots for post-combat analysis. She is good at her job. She tells herself that it is enough.

    But when someone interfaces with a machine as sophisticated as a war mech, there is an increasing risk of neural bleed.

    Summary

    Calliope Mondegrene has always felt like a bit of an alien among her fellow humans. A nerdy self-proclaimed loser sleepwalking through life in a Bostonian triplex, her introversion seems to be boundless, to the point where it leads her to avoid social interaction at the parties she's forced to attend--by getting really, really, high.

    Too high, it turns out, when she sees--and is seen by--something beyond her understanding that, for some unfathomable reason, takes an interest in her sad little life.

    With the fall of Arthas Menethil, the infamous Lich King, the Scourge was left headless, but not toothless. They would always be a threat and so there must always be a Lich King.

    Or Queen, as the case may be.
