Ash was an exile when he first arrived in De’Vas… Since then, he has endured hardships and trials, growing the strength of both himself and his district to survive. He found friends and lovers in his new life, all while building a home.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT. That’s the old human saying anyway. For Bryce, it’s a little more literal. He’s a Feral Mage, someone who gains the abilities of monsters by devouring them. This magic has allowed him to excel as a mercenary, rising to the top rank of the guildhall.

When Greg Hadder's mercenary company is tasked with finding a treasure with the power of immortality, he thinks it's a wild goose chase. That is until his brothers-in-arms are gunned down by a rival group, and he's left with nothing but his wits and rifle to survive. Using maps and artifacts, he must navigate traps and find his way to the center of the island to harness the powers of the gods themselves. When he decides to stand his ground against the soldiers bent on stealing the elixir, he calls upon his new allies—a feisty catgirl, an elegant siren, and a cold-blooded lamia—to help him.

After almost becoming a monster, Bryce swore off dangerous jobs.

Between monsters, assassins, and a crazy gang boss infatuated with him, death is around every corner. Then his former master, Bellamy, seeks him out. But there are some requests you can't turn down.

Despite my average life, I always knew I was destined for something greater than being a plumber. So when the hunt for a missing princess in the sewers led me through a portal to a magic land, I didn't turn back. On the other side was a world full of fairy girls, desperate for the help of a hero. Among them, a beautiful royal fairy who needed my aid to save her kingdom from a fire-breathing dragon.

Den Gott der Alpträume gibt es wirklich? Wie lustig. Ein mysteriöser Traumwandler versucht, mich selbstmörderisch wahnsinnig zu machen? Business as usual. Aber als ein legendärer Seher involviert ist, landen wir auf einer Welt, die von Nekromanten bevölkert ist. Uups. Ich muss jetzt aufstehen, meine Krone richten und lernen, Valerians Verrat zu vergeben, bevor wir alle von Icelus getötet werden...oder Zombies...oder einem tödliches Virus.

Vikings of the Broken Raven: Ashes of the Fallen is a gritty, cinematic saga of survival, vengeance—and the kind of loyalty forged only in fire. Fresh from the inferno that ended Book One, Erik Stormson and the battered crew of the Broken Raven wash up on a hostile coast where the air itself seems poisoned with ash. Their ship is wounded. Their men are worn to the bone. And the land is watching.

Ich dachte, meine neu gewonnene Freiheit würde es mir ermöglichen, den Gestank von New York City abzuschütteln und irgendwo anders ein neues Leben zu beginnen, an einem Ort, an dem mich niemand als ›Todesbringerin‹ oder ›Britt die Blutige‹ kennt. Ein Ort, an dem ich nicht mit lächerlichen Prophezeiungen in Verbindung gebracht werde.

Kehre mit uns zurück in die Welt des Ewigen Nacht, in der Dunkelheit herrscht und Vampire regieren. New York ist mein Gefängnis. Einst ein gefragter Meuchelmörder, hat mich ein einziger Fehler dazu verdammt, dem Haus August zu dienen, der mächtigsten Vampirfamilie Nordamerikas. Jetzt setze ich meine besondere Art von Magie als Mitglied ihres Sicherheitsteams ein, bekämpfe Monster in der Stadt und halte die vielen Feinde der königlichen Familie in Schach.

Seitdem ich den Ritterinnen von Boudica beigetreten bin, habe ich so getan, als wäre ich genau wie alle anderen. Ein oder zwei magische Spezialitäten. Geschickt im Umgang mit der Klinge. Ein angeborener Sinn für Gerechtigkeit. Aber normal ist überbewertet, oder? Jetzt, da ich weiß, dass es da draußen noch mehr uralte und mächtige Steine gibt, werde ich nicht ruhen, bis ich sie gefunden habe. Wenn das bedeutet, dass ich mehr von meiner Magie einsetzen und riskieren muss, entdeckt zu werden, dann ist das ein Risiko, das ich eingehen muss.

Ich habe einen Auftrag für königliche Vampire unversehrt überlebt und meine Identität bewahrt. Das heißt, ich kann in mein normales Leben als Ritterin zurückkehren, oder? Fehlanzeige, das wäre viel zu einfach. Als eine Gruppe von Werwölfen in unserer Stammkneipe durchdreht, offenbart sich eine neue Bedrohung in der Stadt und das örtliche Rudel heuert mich an, um herauszufinden, worum es sich handelt.

Lorelei never believed she would have a place to call home. She’d grown accustomed to hiding, to putting up walls and avoiding interaction with the world around her. Until Fairhaven. Lorelei has grown to love the small town with its multirealm crossroads and the residents who welcomed her with open arms, as well as those who were slow to warm up. She’s fallen in love with a demon prince, and befriended ghosts, a cursed vampire, the werewolf pack, and the Assassins Guild.

It isn’t easy being the liminal deity of a multirealm crossroads, as Lorelei Clay can attest. There are the typical issues, of course, like a wayward god stumbling into Wild Acres, and then there are the more pressing ones… Like an incubus who wakes up with a mysterious mark on his chest and a timer on his life. And the demon with an urgent message for Kane. And the mysterious flying monsters with vengeance in their hearts that threaten the peace and tranquility of Fairhaven.
