Radiants (2021) and its sequel Invasives (2022) form a two-book series that blends fantasy with social commentary. The story follows characters who possess supernatural abilities in a world where those powers make them targets of fear and government action.

Coe has said he wrote the series as a response to anti-immigrant sentiment, and the parallels are direct without being heavy-handed. The books are shorter and more focused than his epic fantasy work, making them a good entry point for readers new to his writing.
