One night after roller-derby practice, 12-year-old Tamora Carter discovers a pair of goblins digging through the dumpster behind the rink. The scruffy pair passed through a magical portal into our world, and they're not alone. Do these creatures know the truth about what happened to Tamora's best friend, Andre? She won't rest until she finds out. But there are things far more dangerous than goblins.... 

If you think it’s hard being a hobgoblin or a human, try living a goblin’s life for a while. In fact, try imagining what it’s like to be the runtiest goblin in the caves, the lone worshiper of a god who’s been forgotten for a good reason, and the target everyone points to at the first hint of trouble. Try picturing yourself as Jig Dragonslayer, and see how you like it.... 

They call him Jig Dragonslayer - and who is he to deny a legend. After all, common sense - something in very short supply among goblins - has a lot to do with Jig's continued existence. Though he's been captured by adventures and dragged unwillingly along on their foolish quest, he's survived both the Necromancer and the Dragon. If people want to insist he's a hero, he isn't going to fight about it. But the trouble with being labeled a hero is that everyone expects you to keep doing heroic things.

Jig the goblin was the runtiest member of an admittedly puny race. Jig was scrawny, so nearsighted as to be almost blind, and had such a poor self-image that when he chose a god to worship, it was one of the forgotten ones - after all, what other sort of god would have him as worshiper? He also had a cowardly fire-spider for a pet, a creature that was likely to set your hair on fire if it got into a panic. Made to stand tunnel watch by the goblin bullies who'd been assigned the job, it was just Jig's luck to be taken captive by a group of adventurers.

A vengeful ghost trapped in a goblin's ear...a flaming spider who must help stop a goddess from conquering a science-fiction convention...a goblin nursery worker who finds herself trapped in the middle of a war. This collection features six humorous short stories that explore the fantasy realm from the perspective of the lowest of the low, the unlikeliest of unheroes: the goblins. 

Secret paranormal societies. A Sanctuary at war with demons. A heroine haunted by eight dead versions of herself. Welcome to The Sanctuary War Trilogy, the first three books of The Alt-World Chronicles–an urban fantasy series where magic hides in modern cities and survival depends on people no prophecy ever promised would win. Here in the Sanctuary, demonic malevolenci cross otherworldly rifts between worlds, and an ancient Order fights to stop the invasion. The Chosen Ones are dead. Old strategies are failing. And the war meant to protect all of reality is slipping out of control.

The war has become chaos. In Alterni and Malevolenci, Esme and the Order fought demonic monsters and scrambled to maintain alliances. Now, as the Order finally gains ground, everything they thought they understood about the malevolenci war shatters. Rebellion has fractured the paranormals. Fairies, jinn, and vampires once loyal have already turned. Zealots threaten to side with the enemy. Traitors lurk in the shadows. Covert plots undermine centuries of peace. If the Order doesn't end this war quickly, there may be no Order left to save the worlds they swore to protect.

Winter has come to Werth Towers, and brought a deal of trouble with it. Not that any of it is the fault of Miss Gussie Werth. To be a one-woman catastrophe might be seen as a misfortune, but really, there can be no hope of a cure.

It is not easy being the most supernatural family in England. Nell talks to the dead; Lord Werth is too often to be found out in the churchyard at the dead of night; and the less said about Lord Bedgberry, the better. Only Miss Gussie Werth has missed out on the family curse. She sups on chocolate, not blood; she's blissfully oblivious to specters (except for Great-Aunt Honoria, of course); and she hasn't the smallest inclination to turn into a beast upon the full moon and go ravening about the countryside.

Magic is no longer new to Esme—it's limitless. Unfortunately, though she's now won their respect, power alone can't calm restless paranormals. Jinn dabble in civilian politics. Fairies demand an impossible return to their home world. Rebel vampires cry slavery. Far too used to the unending war, the paranormals' focus shifts to ancient tensions, and whispers of rebellion sweep through the Order.

Abducted by a bubble of light, Esme is not in her Kansas City anymore. The Sanctuary is an alternate world – home to an ancient, secret Order with a king, conjuri magicians, cavali soldiers, and paranormal races Esme never believed were real. Werewolves patrol with the KCPD. Fairies dream of Hollywood. Goblins are bankers. Elves are lawyers. Vampires make excellent doctors. Trolls are warriors…and serve the best barbecue in town. But why have the conjuri summoned Esme to this paranormal melting pot? As an alt-world version of the original Esme, she is an alterni.

As Sita prepares to go into exile, her younger sisters stay back at the doomed palace of Ayodhya, their smiles, hope and joy wiped away in a single stroke. And through the tears and the tragedy one woman of immense strength and conviction stands apart - Urmila, whose husband, Lakshman, has chosen to accompany his brother Ram to the forest rather than stay with his bride. She could have insisted on joining Lakshman, as did Sita with Ram. But she did not. Why did she agree to be left behind in the palace, waiting for her husband for 14 painfully long years?

Spanning several centuries of history in the Pacific, The Legends and Myths of Hawaiʻi: Fables and Folk-Lore of a Strange People is a collection of Hawaiian stories that were preserved through the ages by oral tradition and documented for posterity by King David Kalākaua in 1887.

Eva has spent her life as an outsider. Now, she is trapped in a world that sees her as something much worse—a monster.

Imprisoned on accusations of unleashing terrifying creatures upon the people of Abhaile, she is forced to strike a deal to untangle the truth behind the portals letting them in. As she journeys through its mystical lands, the injustices of this world come to light.

The city of Atlas hides from the outside world behind vast walls. A hive of politicians and accountants, it is continually looking inward. Nobody leaves. Nobody questions what lies outside. It is a place where nothing ever changes and the citizens like it that way. All of them that is, except a young man named Fred Banks. Fred has questions. What lies beyond those ever-present walls? Is the outside world really a wasteland populated by blood-thirsty marauders? When an aging professor reveals the truth, Fred learns that the mystery is far from over.
