Summary
After millions of years, Szarekh, the Silent King, has ended his self-imposed exile to unite the necrons once again. He has seen the greatest threat their galaxy has ever faced. The necrons will require all their strength to oppose it. If they fail, all the worlds they have ever known will be consumed, and any hopes of reversing the curse of biotransference will vanish.
However, the necron's strongest general will not follow a coward.
Imotekh the Stormlord challenges Szarekh for the right to rule. To prevent a civil war, the triarchy announces a High Mot. In ten years, the lords will choose their ruler, and any who question the result will be struck down where they stand. The only rule: no candidate may harm another, either by deed or inaction, until the Mot is complete. Thus begins a pivotal decade that will decide the fate of the necrons...and the galaxy.

Summary
Finch had always expected that the ambassador from that strange northern land, with his funny accent and strange way of dressing, would leave him with nothing more than a few pairs of expensive earrings, a necklace or two, some very pretty hairpins and maybe a few coins to hoard below the loose floorboard under his bed. That was, after all, how most grand lords ended their affairs with pretty brothel boys.
“If I buy you, would you want to come with me?” Zariel had said, at the end of one evening, after he had bathed and while he was getting dressed.

Summary
“I could devour you,” Samiel says gently, and Jay can feel the heat of his words sinking into his translator. “Won't you let me, pretty human? I'd make it ever so good for you.” His voice is intimate, filthy; that of a lover. Of a predator that has caught its prey.
Or:
Wing Commander Jason Lane is doing his best. He's got a political coup to stop; a peace treaty to negotiate; half a planet out to kill him and - oh yes, Samiel.
Always, Samiel.
