Lupe and his troop of musicians walk the streets of Guatemala City, trapped between life and death, playing the songs they spent their lives performing at the behest of other people. Freedom - even the freedom to play a song of their own choosing - seems out of reach, and Lupe is beginning to give up hope of release.
Harper has one goal: to get his family away from a world drowned by civil war to a place of safety, Katrinamal. Navigating the hideous slums surrounding Harrotin Station and bribing a way amongst the Dispossessed and the dying, however, isn't easy; ignoring the bodies hung at the Gates is even harder. And guilt can have a nasty way of catching you...
Nine- or Ten-Foot Angels by Kassandra Kelly (fantasy)

Blessed by A.C. Wise (science fiction/fantasy)

But it wasn't supposed to be like this, he's sure; no one should bleed so freely, forget so easily, evade death so completely. The Sgt. Roland Dymond is strangely blessed - and worst of all, everyone wants some of it.
