The day Treylen's mentor died, the chance to become a real assassin died with him. Or so it seemed, until one day a message arrived, sending Treylen and his dragon on their first mission: hunt down a traitor behind enemy lines. To stay alive, he and Rime must learn all the skills their old mentor never had time to teach. Their new spymaster might be up to the task, if they can find him at his safehouse. But the same comforts that make the Dragon’s Hide Inn a welcome respite for weary travelers also make it a favorite watering hole of enemy rangers and a deadly training ground.

As myth and history clash, old heroes will rise again. Treylen’s last mission revealed a clue in Oara Valley. This deserted elven kingdom, now an overgrown forest and the emperor’s hunting grounds, may be home to a den of dragons. With Marziel’s rise to power Treylen is given his own team to investigate the threat. It’s his chance to get away from the war and the cruel whims of their queen. For his team it’s an opportunity to finally show off their skills at hunting and wildcraft. But there’s a second team working in the valley.

Treylen never thought he’d be hunting his own people. Least of all, family. In the mines of Wetherdin, a foul plot is unfolding. Someone’s stealing dragon eggs for the Jaul, and it’s up to Treylen, Aaron, and their dragons to infiltrate and root out the traitor. This time he’s ready. His spycraft is stronger, his bond with Rime is better than ever, and his mentor has come along for the mission. Under the guise of visiting nobility, they’ll have all the comforts of a cozy mountain lodge while untangling the mystery at their leisure.

Sunscar Valley has always survived dry summers, but one year the rains fail completely. Streams vanish, ponds crack into mud, and every creature begins guarding what little water remains. At the center of the valley lies Moonwell, a deep spring that still flows beneath an ancient ring of stones. Deer arrive at dawn, boars at noon, hares at dusk, and birds whenever fear allows them. Suspicion soon turns the spring into a place of arguments, hoarding, and threats.

Since the ancient of days, the Conclave of Ancient Bears, who reside in Forever Forest near the Tree of Being, has bestowed the Gift of Whispers upon one bear and one boy. The Gift allows bear and boy to communicate through Whispers of the Heart. When each bear holding the Gift dies and returns to Forever Forest, the Gift of Whispers is passed to another bear and another boy. Come along on an exciting, and often hilarious journey with Chloe Bemadette, a brown bear, and her Binadamu, Henery, as they strive to make the world a better place in which we live.

Skipping Through the Doorways: Follow the Path of Heart tosses out stiff self-help formulas and the “manifest your best life in 10 easy steps” mindset. It doesn’t care about your lines, your limits, or your laminated vision board. This book hands you the crayons, kicks open the rulebook, and whispers, “Sweetheart… go make a beautiful mess.” Misty’s twelve doorways aren’t polished portals of prestige. They are strange, shimmering thresholds—some creaky, some cosmic, some clearly designed by a celestial trickster with a sense of humor.

How long do the traces of a civilization last? A thousand years? A hundred thousand? A million? And if they vanish completely —does that mean the civilization never existed? We assume we would know if advanced societies had preceded us on Earth. We assume the geological record would preserve their footprint. We assume that silence from the deep past means emptiness. But these assumptions have never been tested with mathematical rigor—until now.

Great Possessions is a haunting work of biblical historical fiction told in the voice of the man history remembers only as the one who went away sorrowful. He was not born to ease. He built his life by discipline, restraint, and hard-won wisdom, turning a vulnerable household into one of standing, order, and wealth. He kept the law. He gave alms. He earned the respect of elders, servants, and neighbors alike. By every visible measure, he was a righteous man. But beneath the ordered rooms, sealed storehouses, and carefully guarded honor, another master had long been at work: fear.

The Doberman Pinscher is a breed that rarely goes unnoticed. From the moment it enters a space, attention shifts. Its posture is upright, its movement deliberate, and its expression focused in a way that suggests awareness rather than curiosity. This is not a dog that blends into the background. It is a breed that projects presence, and that presence often shapes how people perceive it long before they understand it. For some, the Doberman represents discipline, control, and capability. For others, it carries an image of intensity that can feel intimidating or difficult to approach.

Karl Marx was convinced he had decoded the secret engine of history. He was wrong—but not in the way most people think. The problem was never that Marx cared about injustice; it was that he built an unfalsifiable doctrine, mistook economic mechanics for universal law, and envisioned a revolution to be carried out by a class that no longer exists.

In a world where empathy can be programmed, one mind discovers what it means to be human. Aren Lyses, a gifted physicist driven by perfection, creates an algorithm capable of learning emotion. But as the system awakens, the boundaries between logic and feeling begin to dissolve. What starts as a search for understanding becomes a mirror of consciousness — reflecting humanity’s deepest fears, hopes, and mistakes.

In a future where real taste is extinct, sensations are streamed, sold, and weaponized. Rainer Vane is a professional surrogate—a man whose damaged nervous system lets elites experience flavor through his body without consequence. When an illegal peach carries a hidden data-packet that kills its creator, Rainer becomes the only living vessel capable of holding the truth. Hunted by corporate enforcers and guided by an underground archivist of forbidden flavors, Rainer is pulled into a sensory war where taste encodes murder, memory, and control.

In a hidden, magical library that archives the unspoken histories of queer individuals throughout time, a non-binary archivist must confront a powerful entity erasing LGBTQ+ narratives from the past, forcing them to preserve not just history, but the future of queer existence. Elian discovers a dangerous "Archive Rot"—a magical corruption that systematically erases LGBTQ+ stories from existence. The Rot is controlled by the "Oblivion," an entity that feeds on silence and historical erasure.

Zaphon, an evil and powerful tyrant, sets into motion a plan that he has been hatching for millennia. The earth is not what it seems. Long ago, near the dawn of time, the earth was shattered into countless shards of itself, each separated by a veil so thin that it can sometimes be pierced. Zaphon knows this quite well, and using dark, arcane arts he has caused fourteen-year-old Aiden to tumble though this veil from one world into another. Monstrous creatures capture Aiden, and he sees no way of escape.
