Growing up in the family business, where being an alpha is power, my parents groomed me to be the fiercest of them all. Being the head of the Storm family empire isn't just my birthright, it's my legacy, my namesake.

Bet you thought I was dead, huh? Pfft. I'm a lot harder to kill than that. I thought I was safe surrounded by my fated mates and Gavin. Boy, was I wrong. Who I once thought was nothing more than an over-inflated bimbo turned out to be the devil in disguise. Determined to destroy my very existence. She's tried to kill me more than once. No shocker there. And even as death has knocked on my door, I haven't succumbed to his whispered promises of peace.

Meet Tanjihiro Chae Wong, a scarred man with no past. A nomad. A simple cabbage farmer with an ominous black gauntlet living happily with his family... Or is he? Unbeknownst to everyone he keeps a secret. Not only of his identity, but what he is, and what he can do. Keeping to the shadows as he stays out of the war he never wanted to be a part of and lives a life of... Peace.

King Jack. The title was still foreign to Jack who had no love for the empire or the throne. But, with his loved ones secured and his daughter safe, Jack now has the opportunity to do one thing he never thought he could do. Be a father.

In a violent world, peace always comes at a cost. And to pay for this expansive commodity, to give those he cares about a chance, Jack has to step up... Even if it means doing things he would have never imagined.

With Princess Selfia suddenly missing, it is now up to Jack to plan and organize his team for the academy mid-term. The next task, a low altitude airdrop into the Frelia Mountain range where Almus cadets will put their landnav, survival, and teamwork skills to the test. The criteria for passing? Survival, simple enough. However what was supposed to be a simple test of preparedness becomes far more as Jack and his squad become victims to events that forever change the trajectory of their lives and the world as they know it.

The water-drake rebellion dies with their leader Khlokun. However, the final battle against the revolutionary's party leaves Ben sorely injured and Sio with one of her key Attributes swapped for a strange power she can barely control. Right as Ben's party obtains their hard-earned victory, a Legion descends upon the Olerrak Marshes, capturing them so Ben can stand trial at the sprawling city of Incos, the capital of the Goldmark Tetrarchy.

In a world of superheroes, supervillains, mystical portals, and monsters from strange realms, I'd be considered perfectly ordinary, living a normal life in an extraordinary world. That is until fate intervened. A simple act alters and enhances me into a stratosphere of unfathomable power. I'll navigate unique powers, cultivate my strength, progress through unusual skills, and become one of a cosmic order of defenders called Mana Storms.

After a bar fight turns deadly, three dangerously hot men capture and cage me, accusing me of being a supernatural creature. I had no idea any place other than the Mortal World existed until I found myself at their mercy. They think I killed their best friend. They hate how much they want me. As for me? It’s complicated. I can barely wrap my mind around the fact that they’re dragons—monstrous, fire-breathing dragons—and so incredibly sexy. Insane right? What’s worse is that I feel the connection they claim we have.

A cryptic clue from a food processor. A planet nestled within the Teragona Ellipse. Were things finally settling down for me? Who is Valex, and what is her link to Holo? The answers lie in Second Chance City, a rain-soaked neon metropolis where one man holds the key. To get there we have to run the Galactico’s gauntlet and steamroller a gang of local thugs.

Having fled his home country, Jack finds himself in a foreign land surrounded on all sides by people who hate his existence, even those that claim to support him seem to have some ulterior motive. Be it because of his eye color, or the shadow of his parent's sins cast over him, Jack finds himself having to strike deals and play a part with the Princess of the Empire if he wishes to protect his sister.

I’d won a battle, but the war still stood before me. Yes, I’d defeated Steel Eyes, but it meant nothing. My girls, on the other hand, meant the world, the galaxy, the universe, to me. Holo, the AI with a body to die for and a mind as sharp as a Terrulean battle axe. Kit-Kat — a sassy, smart and drop-dead gorgeous catgirl. The demon, Frix — so hot she could burn a hole in any man’s heart. Zen? Well, she was a possibility but not a certainty. The foxkin intrigued me, enticed me. Would destiny see us get together?

There once was a bard that was young and dumb, but he made all of the ladies come. His charisma stat was the highest one in this enchanted land. His power was noticed by a sorceress who thought it would help her on her quest. So she and a friend paid him some gold, and on an adventure they go. Now has the quest begun. The bard sings songs and the monsters run. There's adventure, and lots of fun, and also magic foes. So now that their party was a group of three, they went on a hunt for a fairy. To an enchanted tower they must go, and bring the fairy down.

Two weeks have passed since the last direct assault on his new home, and a string of bad blizzards have kept him from doing much more than making occasional ventures into the wilderness to look for supplies. But now the blizzards have passed, and he and his friends are determined. They've painted a target on the thieves that have terrorized this region for the past several months, and intend to eliminate them.

After being falsely convicted of a crime I didn’t commit, I am now on the run to clear my name. I must find the bastard warlock who pinned his malicious wrongdoings on me. If only I knew where to look. Or how to get the High Council and another dragon clan off my trail.

When destiny is involved there are no chances. On the night of Graelyn's upcoming birthday, he and his Dawnborn lover, Myra, planned to escape his tyrant father. However, the night of their departure, a Duskborn assassin comes looking for Gray even as an insatiable, unknown Hunger blooms within him. Attacked and framed, they flee for their lives, only to be captured by orc pirates. They encounter an orcish druid, who has dreamed of a figure shrouded in darkness—a prophecy foretelling the salvation or ruination of the land of Uncanny.

Having been knocked unconscious at the beginning of the surprise attack, David awakens to a nightmare: two days have passed, and the Marauders own everything. All of the settlements are completely under their control, almost everyone in the whole region has been captured, and their patrols are everywhere. But it isn't all hopeless. They've prepared for this, and as David heads out into the night to learn just how bad things are, he begins running into his friends who are still free and very much active.

After tackling the dual menaces of the stalkers and the vipers, they have at last secured peace for themselves. And though the days turned into weeks, and the weeks into months, a blessedly boring routine settling in, David has stayed vigilant. He knows that nothing lasts forever, and peace can be snatched away in an instant.

In the weeks that followed the successful campaign to eliminate the stalker menace, David and the ladies have returned to Haven. It's been a peaceful four weeks, a return to as close to "normal" as you can get in a post-apocalyptic world where undead monsters roam the landscape and humans live alongside a half-dozen different species of inhumans.

Six weeks have passed since the official founding of the settlement known as Haven. In that time, things have settled into a nice routine for David and the ladies in his life. He's been surprised to learn that he actually makes a half-decent village leader, though he imagines some of that has to do with the fact that he shares the job with three very capable women. But things have been going well.
