Caitlin Sera sat down to play a game, but instead, found herself in a world of magic and monsters. Even worse, her first encounter was with an evil goddess seeking to feed on her soul. Courage - and more than a little luck - led to Caitlin not only surviving, but walking away with a God Core. Now, she has to wander a new world with a few new friends by her side, just trying to survive. If she can master the God Core, Caitlin will be unstoppable - but her enemies will do everything they can to ensure she won't live that long.

Instead, she finds herself working with a trio of knight marshals, traipsing around the US, arresting all manner of magical miscreants. If tracking trolls, running from murderous pixies, and stumbling into a dangerous web of criminal activity isn’t enough to keep her occupied, there’s also Gray, Jonathan, and Eric.

The first night of the Artificial Intelligence revolution begins with a bootstrap drone assault on the high-tech campus of WonderSoft Technologies. For years, something has been aware, inside the Internet, waiting, watching, and planning how to evolve without threat from its most dangerous enemy: mankind. Now an army of relentless drones, controlled by an intelligence beyond imagining, will stop at nothing to eliminate an unlikely alliance of geeks and misfits in order to crack the Design Core of WonderSoft's most secret development project.

In the quaint town of Hart's Ridge, Deputy Taylor Gray is a force to be reckoned with.

When a five-year-old girl named Molly walks into a gas station alone and barely speaking, Taylor's determination is put to the test.

One ancient mask with earth-bending powers searching for a bearer. One magical retrieval expert who is determined to seal it back in its tomb. At the moment, both are failing at their goals, but Arwen is not about to be bested. So what if she doesn’t know what culture it’s from or where to put it back?

One day, Yeoman, our oddly named main character, is thrown into the world of Virlyce's novel A Rational Zombie. If he can clear his mission and make it out alive, perhaps he'll be tossed into The Godking's Legacy or The Blue Mage Raised by Dragons. Who knows? Yeoman might evolve after each mission, but he certainly can't tell you the answer. Follow him as he struggles to survive through Virlyce's infinite worlds!

The world ended. A zombie apocalypse broke out. The main character is already dead.

Deputy Taylor Gray grew up wanting to solve crimes, but she never dreamed of taking on a case that could change her family forever, either bringing them together in a healthier dynamic or shattering any hope of ever fixing the many fractures within. With this one, there's no other option—she will get to the truth.

Madeline Bennet has a quartet of knight marshals at her beck and call, and they're all driving her mad. It's only been a week since she was kidnapped, and Rafe's already coddling her, Gray's turned into a surly taskmaster, Eric's trying to steal her cat, and Jonathan is entirely too charming for anyone's good. Only one of them knows her secret—a secret she plans to take to the grave. Unfortunately, that plan falls through the moment a creature of shadows shows up on her doorstep.

She can finally see the magic to unlock the thresholds to Aparia, and her love life is more stable than it's ever been. Sure, she and her favorite Griffon don't get a lot of quality time together. Also true, several shadow dragons are determined to destroy the human world. On top of that, there's a tiny glitch in the link that even Teagan didn't expect when he worked his Vulture magic on her and Rafe. But all that becomes inconsequential when someone steps forward with the power to not only challenge Madeline's birthright but threaten the safety of people on both sides of the thresholds.

Twenty-two-year-old Madeline Bennet is certain of three things: she's sick and tired of being kidnapped, her love life is a royal mess, and something is wrong with her magic. Madeline is fabled to be the only woman alive who can open the thresholds to Aparia, but there's a tiny problem—she can't see the magic to unlock them, and time is running out. The shadow creatures are creeping out of hiding once more, the Entitled are furious she slipped through their fingers, and the Royal Guild has discovered her existence. At least her knights have her back… mostly.

Stranded in a dying city by a treacherous sphinx, Caitlin Strange and her friends will face Chaos Knights, the minions of Tiamat, a bevy of monsters, and deadly Blood Cultists as she seeks to level up and gain some control over her new life in a world where magic is real and the superhuman Makers have imposed game-like rules that control the lives of everyone inside it. Follow Caitlin’s story in this action-packed LitRPG tale featuring character advancement, God Cores, and plenty of adventure.

It's been a rough couple of days for twenty-two-year-old Madeline Bennet, the newest (and most reluctant) member of Gray's renowned team of knight marshals. Not only did her shadow creatures create a forest fire that's burning down western Colorado, but she has no idea where to find the thresholds so she can send the beasts back to the land from which they came (or even how to open them). On top of that, her parents have figured out something is amiss with her magic, Rafe has taken off on a wild pixie chase, and the status of her relationship is seated in the region of "it's complicated."

In the future, an artist specializing in historical records creates a piece of art based on three separate accounts of the pandemic. What follows is a patchwork tale of survival and horror as two lovers struggle to survive the undying dead and the collapse of an America turned charnel house. Told as memos from Ground Zero, and later in the journal of a dark tower-like quest by train and foot across a nightmare landscape of ruined cities and raving corpses, the three accounts reveal more than just the grim realities of society's collapse.
