Stranded in a strange new world, she's going to need all her wits about her to get home again. And that's no easy feat when she has no idea who to trust.

Nora and Cole—two Christmas cynics with matching stubborn streaks—are stuck navigating snowball fights, holiday challenges, and the kind of unexpected spark that definitely wasn’t on the list. And somewhere between the bickering and the mistletoe, Nora realizes the most inconvenient part might be falling for the man she swore she hated. A Christmas Carol meets The Hating Game in this laugh-out-loud, slow-burn holiday romcom about rivals, redemption, and the very real magic of second chances.

Winnifred Gobaldi and Byron Visser are not best friends. Yes, they’ve known each other for years, but they’re not even friendly. Winnie considers them more like casual, distant acquaintances who find each other barely tolerable, especially when he's being condescending (which is all the time).

Conquering dungeons and using them to grow has long been the most efficient way to become a powerful adventurer. The only thing keeping the process from being easy is the Beasts that inhabit these places. Questions plague those entering this particular place of power: Where do the ‘rewards’ of weapons, armor, and heavy gold coins come from? Why is a fluffy bunny charging at me? For abyss-sake, why are there so many monsters? Cal has all of the answers to these age-old questions for a very simple reason. He is a Dungeon Core, a soul forced against his will into a magical stone.

I'm Mila Banks, the ultimate jinx. Not just in theory—I've got a track record. Seven weddings, seven disasters. Everything from a groom with a concussion to an attack of red ants (a long story) has happened because of me. So, when my bestie, Nadia, insists on making me her maid of honor, I can't help but try to find a way out of it. To make matters more complicated, my boss, Grayson Manning, is going to be the best man. Did I mention I'm head over heels for him?

The dungeon—Cal—knows exactly how much their power has increased and is working daily to become exponentially more powerful. His schemes are becoming more complex and his dungeon—his body—more deadly. Dale works to subvert the plans of the dungeon, but his opponent is onto him. Hearing a voice in his head distracts him in critical moments requiring him to fight his mind even as he battles deadly creatures. Unbeknownst to both, their fight is not with each other—it’s for the continuation of their lives.

Desperation drives me into the hands of a dangerous predator. I never should have considered auctioning off my innocence. The men who bid are the darkest kind, the ones you never want to encounter. And Malachy, the man who bought me, is no exception. He wins me, locking me away in his world. Selling my virginity takes on a whole new meaning, one I never anticipated. I expected one night with my buyer, but with Malachy McCarthy, I'm his possession until he decides otherwise. I'm nothing but a toy, a plaything for his amusement, until he grows bored.

Every thirty years, an ancient god hosts a very dangerous game. After Ryder Copeland wakes in a hospital after a suicide attempt, two people immediately try to murder him. A woman named Juliet saves his life and then reveals that he succeeded in his suicide after all. They’re both dead, but a mad god has granted them five more days of life... if they’re willing to kill for it.

Powerful necromancers are on the move, and the dungeon has become a battleground. Without his faithful Wisp, Cal's mind slips—he begins creating traps and monsters that go against his already loose morals. A direct threat from an unexpected force causes Cal's mind to stabilize, but he doesn’t know for how long. Using every resource at his disposal, he works to keep his mind clear while he funds a search for his lost companion. When others fail him again and again, Cal takes matters into his own hands.

Gate of Choice marks the conclusion to a movement that began with Third Circle Theory, which has awakened millions since its release in 2013. Now Pejman Ghadimi introduces us to the conclusion that critics have called the book that will awaken mankind in the 21st century. While the subjects inside are controversial and even uncomfortable for most to confront, The Gate of Choice stands on its own a powerful way to make sense of our existence here on Earth, its greater purpose, and why we as a civilization and a species are not immune to extinction.

The necromantic armies are on the warpath and nowhere is safe—even the sanctuary of the flying dungeon has been threatened. The leadership of nearly all the sentient races has been wiped out, and only the people most suited to repelling the advancing darkness have an intact monarchy. Cal learns quickly that the primary threat is not the far-off war, but the actions of those entrusted with protecting the population. As it turns out, the idea of using a flying dungeon as a war machine is very tempting indeed.

The world watches the sky with trepidation. The insanity of Xenocide knew no bounds, and all will soon suffer the effects he had planned for a millennium. Though none know what is to come, they all know it isn’t going to be easy to survive. The Master has a plan, one that can give the world at large a way to escape the onrushing desolation. It may be on the bleeding edge of morality and what he needs might prove too difficult to secure, but The Master asks for trust. Cal and Dale both have their role to play as the world hurtles toward destruction. 

We live in a world that tells us how to live, what matters (and what does and doesn't), and how to get what it says we want. These impersonal, external forces push us around and leave us off-balance, confused, and fatigued. Like actors following a script written by someone else, we find ourselves uncertain of where we have ended up, much less where we want to go, and asking, "What am I supposed to do next?" Among us, however, are those who live differently. The Gift of Lift seeks to unlock their secrets and provide a pathway toward intention, meaning, and purpose.

Enzo won’t let me go no matter how much I beg. Refusing a mafia boss would be dangerous. Until he tells me he wants me to do things outside of my job description.
