But when she catches her boyfriend, Tony, in the arms of his ex-girlfriend at a local jewelry store, the ghosts of a childhood shattered by betrayal rush back.

Faced with the impeccably polite, but evil LEATHER DADDY - Gabriel must make the most difficult choice: free Yulia, the Priestess of Monsters or find another solution. If he frees her, there's zero chances it fails to create huge amounts of drama (and distractions). If he doesn't, well...it could lead to worse outcomes.

After rescuing a mysterious stranger, Gabriel is given a magical gift. Granted the ability to recreate anything he’s crafted with his own two hands: he has an impossible task. With Tablet in hand, he must restore the Fae Islands to their former glory.

Ravenna is free. The army outside the settlement isn't going anywhere. And Fate's Dungeon just opened a door neither of them planned to walk through. Gabriel barely has time to celebrate freeing the competitive, arrogant, increasingly-hard-to-ignore winged high priestess before the Fae Islands remind him that victory is just the setup for the next problem. A small army is camped at his doorstep. And somewhere between the threat outside and the settlement that needs defending, Fate intervenes—pulling Gabriel and Ravenna into a dungeon neither of them chose. Inside: sidequests. Lions. Hucows.

What is true power, if not that which can protect those who need protection? Adam had left everything behind. His brother, his empire, and System-space, all entirely gone in a gamble for peace. He had found a small, mana-dead universe at the far fringes of reality. He had made a new life, a family, and a surprising amount of happiness in the mundanity of it. With that new life came the pains of mortality. His daughter had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, and there was nothing he could do to help.

Kairon is a system clerk that finally gets his own city charter. So he does what any good bureaucrat would. He reads the entire Terms of Service, identifies a loophole, and exploits it. Unfortunately doing so ended up calling down a pillar of hellfire that roasts him, all his villagers, and everything else within a league alive. Now he's a demon that's got ten confused imps, a tower with a giant floating eyeball, and a rudimentary system that raises buildings through rends in reality.

Takiej powieści o Mickiewiczu jeszcze nie było! To nie jest nudna biografia wieszcza, nic z tych rzeczy. To zeznanie pewnej tajemniczej postaci. W tej niesamowitej historii narratorem jest... No właśnie – kto? Bies, licho, a może sam... diabeł, opiekujący się Adamem od kołyski w Zaosiu po istambulskie łoże śmierci? Czy bez interwencji tego czarciego ducha nie mielibyśmy wieszcza oraz Polski – Chrystusa narodów? Mickiewicz nie jawi się tu wyłącznie jako geniusz, cudowne dziecko romantyzmu. Jest mężczyzną z krwi i kości – delikatnym i uduchowionym, ale też kochliwym, burkliwym, zadufanym w sobie, równie skłonnym do uniesień, jak i konfliktów.
