The immortal Lifetree, once the source of all creation in the world, has become corrupted. Nightmarish, tainted creatures now fill the realms, and the world calls out for a hero. Nikolas, a warrior resurrected from beyond the grave, has been given the insurmountable task of destroying the evil and bringing balance to the world. He must win the support of four beautiful champions, learn to harness the powers they control, and fight against the chaotic hordes whose very presence chokes the life from the land itself.

Chris Wright has one shot at his dream. After years of late nights and countless revisions, an agent finally takes notice of Chris’s novel—but with one catch: he has a tight deadline to deliver a major rewrite.

Chris Wright thought life couldn’t get any better. His debut novel is gaining traction, he’s built a life with Mia, and everything seems to be falling into place—until Hollywood comes calling. A studio wants to adapt his book, but there’s one catch: he has to co-write the screenplay with their in-house writer, Zooey. Zooey is sharp, demanding, and impossible to read. From the moment they meet, the sparks fly—some from friction, some from something else entirely. She pushes Chris in ways he never expected, testing his patience, his talent, and his ability to ignore how badly he wants her.

After defeating the Rhav and the Hive Queen, we thought winter would bring time to rest, rebuild, and advance our magical technology.

With the Marshal's star blazing in his heart and powers unlike any before, Hunter is ready to claim his justice and uncover the truth about himself and this savage world.

Maxim Volt worked very hard NOT to become the local madman. He didn’t plot doom upon his enemies (even when they deserved it). He didn’t stitch together monsters with parts 'recycled' from the local graveyard. Why, he barely allowed himself a maniacal laugh or two! And yet, he still somehow ended up getting kicked out of university, banished from the family estate, and inheriting a decrepit castle high in the mountains of Eastern Europe, complete with a spooky but devoted maid.

I conquered the land. I saw its potential. I won the Wild Sorceress. Now, I must establish my power. From my new castle in Northshire, I watch my two cities thrive, fueled by magic and ambition. I’ve overcome overwhelming odds and earned the loyalty of powerful allies. But with powerful allies come greater dangers.
