Return to Knyadrea where Oklas and Prismer must navigate paranoia, rebellion, and the cost of change in a society ruled by an oppressive regime.
Knyadrea's sovereigns grow ever more paranoid. Armed enforcers patrol Apidecca's streets, and tensions escalate. With nothing to lose, Oklas Sayve turns to resyn for solutions. Could the mystical substance that unravelled his life also prove to be his salvation? There is no room for doubt. Too many are relying on his expertise. The knyads he once considered charities are now close friends and allies… and one of them might even be something more.
New threats stand between Prismer and the dreams she's only beginning to open herself up to. Venturing out from under the shadow of the Pentarchy, can she recover her faith in the knyad god, in herself, and in the people who see past her mask? In Our Ways Unmasked, the second book in the Apidecca Duology, Oklas and Prismer are not the only ones with an eye on the city's future. Rebels, traitors, and scumbled outcasts have a myriad of reasons to seek change. Together, can they overcome an oppressive regime that has stood for hundreds of years?

About the Book
In Our Ways Unmasked, we return to Knyadrea and the habitable moon of the Apidecca Duology to follow Oklas and Prismer as they navigate an increasingly oppressive regime.
As paranoia grips the sovereigns and armed enforcers patrol Apidecca’s streets, Oklas turns to the mystical substance resyn for salvation—though it once unravelled his life. Prismer ventures beyond the shadow of the Pentarchy, seeking to recover her faith and recover herself. But they’re not alone in their ambitions. Rebels, traitors, and outcasts all have reasons to challenge an oppressive regime that has stood for hundreds of years.
A stunning conclusion to the duology from author/illustrator Coe Lansdell, featuring a world with no human characters and a cast of knyads navigating love, loyalty, and revolution.
