Yeva was thirteen when she killed her first dragon. With her gift revealed, she was shipped away to the imperial capital to train in the rare art of dragon slaying. Now a legendary guildknight, she has never truly felt at home ever since that fateful day all those years ago. But she doesn’t need a home when she has her sacred duty. She has devoted herself wholly to the cause—she never even removes her armor in public. Few remember the girl she once was. She rarely remembers herself. Yeva must now go to Quanbao, a fiercely independent and reclusive kingdom.

Mokoya and Akeha, the twin children of the Protector, were sold to the Grand Monastery as infants. While Mokoya developed her strange prophetic gift, Akeha was always the one who could see the strings that moved adults to action. While Mokoya received visions of what would be, Akeha realized what could be. What's more, they saw the sickness at the heart of their mother's Protectorate.

It’s an old, familiar story: a young person hears the voice of an angel saying they have been chosen as a warrior to lead their people to victory in a holy war. But Misery Nomaki (she/they) knows they are a fraud. Raised on a remote moon colony, they don’t believe in any kind of god. Their angel is a delusion, brought on by hereditary space exposure. Yet their survival banks on mastering the holy mech they are supposedly destined for, and convincing the Emperor of the Faithful that they are the real deal.

In the first book of the Tensorate series, a rebellion threatens the power of the Protectorate. Akeha, one of the twin children of the Protector, leaves the Tensorate behind and falls in with the rebels. In the second book in the Tensorate series, Sanao Mokoya has abandoned the life that once bound her. Broken by the loss of her young daughter, she now hunts deadly, sky-obscuring naga. And an investigation into atrocities committed at a classified research facility threatens to expose secrets that the Protectorate will do anything to keep hidden in the third volume.

Fallen prophet, master of the elements, and daughter of the supreme Protector, Sanao Mokoya has abandoned the life that once bound her. Once her visions shaped the lives of citizens across the land, but no matter what tragedy Mokoya foresaw, she could never reshape the future. Broken by the loss of her young daughter, she now hunts deadly, sky-obscuring naga in the harsh outer reaches of the kingdom with packs of dinosaurs at her side, far from everything she used to love.

La Protettrice è morta. Per cinquant'anni ha governato il Tensorato conformandolo a propria immagine, relegando i nemici negli angoli più remoti. Per mezzo secolo il mondo è ruotato attorno a lei, occupata a costruire le sue armate, addestrare i Tensori, afferrare le redini del destino. Ma ora che è morta i suoi seguaci tremano, e gli avversari esultano. Solo in una lontana taverna, nel territorio ribelle, la sua più accesa rivale non gioisce: Lady Han ha fatto di tutto per deporre la Protettrice, ma ora può solo piangerne la perdita.

Qualcosa di terribile è successo all’Istituto di Metodi Sperimentali Rewar Teng. Quando sono arrivati, gli investigatori del Tensorato si sono trovati davanti a una distesa di sangue e ossa a perdita d’occhio. Uno degli esperimenti dell’Istituto è sparito, e non ha lasciato superstiti. Gli investigatori tornano alla capitale senza molti indizi, ma con due prigionieri: il capo dei terroristi Sanao Akeha e unə suə compagnə conosciutə come Rider.

Profetessa ormai decaduta, dominatrice degli Elementi, e figlia della Protettrice, Sanao Mokoya ha deciso di cambiare vita.

Devastata dalla perdita della figlia, inizia una caccia contro i letali naga, capaci di oscurare il cielo, nelle lande più remote del regno, lontana da tutto ciò che amava, accompagnata da un branco di raptor.

Mokoya ha sviluppato un talento profetico, Akeha ha sempre avuto il dono di comprendere quali motivazioni si celano dietro le azioni degli adulti.
