Shades
Strange and without much explanation or background, Shades is a collection of stories centred around a ragtag group known as Umbrage. Thieves by choice, not by nature, Umbrage is a loose, informal group which steal things for a variety of reasons - some good, some poor. Having members ranging from unnerving little girls to magnificent psuedo-deities, they all play pivotal roles in the group's development into one of the most feared and respected organisations of all time.

The main cast consist primarily of Silas, Lunen, and Gideon Walker, Lawrence Saint, Issei Hyoudou, Brynhildr, and Sinenmehilias. However, they are rarely all in the same story, the main cast of each story being supplanted with other, less frequent characters.

Sanguinity
"So, to summarise, we're going to dress up as high school girls, attend a mixed-gender school on the back of a flying whale, learn magic, use said magic to summon demons from Hell, and then blow the school up, all the while without somehow blowing our cover?"

Umbrage
""Huh,y'know, I always thought it'd be the Devils which finally took down Heaven, not four dicks in masks.""

Pearlescence
"I find it quite insulting that you seem to think I'm two children stacked up on each other's shoulders underneath this trench coat."

- A quote from Pearlescence

Periwinkle
"Use the kid as a gun or something! He's our problem now, might as well make the most of him!

Hades
The "final chapter" of Shades in a sense, Hades is the most serious of all the books. Instead of focusing on a heist or mission, it tells the journey of Lunen Walker through the Endless Sands of Limbo. It is in Limbo that several questions and secrets which pervade Shades come to a head.
