Arcana, the secrets and mysteries of a land remade by Angels of Light and Darkness, remains in the tales, tomes, and relics scattered through Erilan, a war-torn continent of once-great kingdoms. Seven hundred years ago, the War of the White Crown decimated the races Galadorian, Croe, Toran, Daiman, Ur, and Daemon, and much of their history was lost. Four unlikely heroes, with secrets of their own, set out to reclaim the forgotten lore and tokens of magic that hold the hope to oppose the dark and malevolent forces that are rising to overwhelm the land once again.

Steel begins as an idea before it becomes a vessel. It is first drawn on paper, reduced to lines, tolerances, calculations, and compromises. Only later does it take shape under the weight of urgency, noise, and human hands. In the spring of 1943, at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, that transformation was already well underway. War had a way of accelerating everything. Decisions that might once have taken months were compressed into days. Labour moved in shifts that blurred into one another.

The Sutra of the Ounce: The Ounce of the Vow for the Beings of the Earth, By Marilynn Hughes • An ounce is enough. The Sutra of the Ounce is a gentle, luminous guide to living with awareness, care, and presence. It is not a manual of commandments, nor a call to heroic acts. Instead, it teaches the power of small, daily vows—the quiet attentions, the moments of restraint, mercy, and witness that sustain life. Mountains move without hurry, trees give without asking, oceans grieve without resentment—and humans, too, are part of this unfolding.

Under the Red Flag and Beyond: The History of the Soviet Submarine Programme by Hugh Ravenscroft is a deeply researched and compelling exploration of one of the most secretive and strategically vital elements of modern military power.

Peacemakers. The Galactic Union’s most capable enforcers and resolute negotiators, their name alone elicits fear and awe among the Union’s citizenry.

Fourteen authors present thirteen all-new stories from the depths of Bureau 42.

There are moments in human progress when scale alone commands attention, not simply because something is large, but because it represents a boundary that has been pushed, a limit that has been tested and extended. The USS Gerald R. Ford is one such moment. It is not merely the largest warship ever built, nor simply the most advanced aircraft carrier in service. It is a convergence of ambition, engineering, and purpose, brought together in a form that moves steadily across the world’s oceans, carrying with it both capability and consequence.
