Three Books in One!Journey to the country of Jaiya, in a world not quite like ours. Here, humans ride trains, drive cars, and use cell phones, but they share their world with insect people and trollfolk, and stranger things lurk in the shadows... Marrying a Monster: As a favor to her parents, Rina agrees to come back to her hometown and take part in an old local custom: a symbolic marriage between the town's women and the Mountain King, a mythical guardian spirit no one really believes in. But the Mountain King really exists: a monstrous being that feeds on fear and suffering. Rina's only hope for survival may be Vipin, the dashing scholar hunting the Mountain King, but Vipin is hiding a few secrets of his own... Waking the Dreamlost: In a place like Jaiya, a woman can't just back out of an arranged marriage to a bigshot, even if her amnesia keeps her from remembering when and how she agreed to it. Her engagement to a politician makes Itana a target for terrorist attacks, but a former soldier named Marish keeps rescuing her, and gives her a chance at real love. She doesn't remember hiring him to find out who is stealing her memories, but he is determined to finish the job...or die trying!Loving a Deathseer: In a place like Jaiya, a servant has to obey his employers' every whim, even if the whim isn't in the job description.

He has only three rules: don't get close to anyone, don't let anyone get hurt, and don't let anyone get framed for the crime. But his latest job will plunge him into a world of political intrigue, and test his rules to the breaking point. His only chance at redemption lies in the love of a persecuted young woman named Zeni, with the power to foresee his death...
