Step into Shinsei, cradle of the new world, resplendent with magic and loved by the gods — at least on the surface.

These four mesmerizing tales reveal a murder in the night, a monster on the loose, a dagger in the dark and a dying god. Through it all, love that lasts through time and even space.

Welcome, traveler. Tread lightly.

Cleo Cheng is the pseudonym of Cheryl Teh, a media professional at a news agency headquartered in New York City.

When she isn’t at the office or working on her manuscripts, Cleo can often be spotted wearing baggy "Critical Role" t-shirts and gym shorts while feeding stray cats near her apartment complex.

She loves learning languages, and is attempting to improve her fluency in Japanese by watching loads of anime. It’s not going very well.
