Then he discovered they truly do exist—and it’s his task to protect them. After a beautiful woman who claims to be hunted by dangerous men catches a ride, his life changes forever. He’s taken to a strange and magical mansion, told that he’s its new owner, and that he has the power of Talismancy: he can enchant objects, places, and people, infusing them with magical power.

My name's Noah Kilmartin. I'm from Ruddock, Ohio, and I'm absolutely, 100 percent unqualified to save the universe from the slavering demonic hordes of the super evil queen Lilith. Too bad nobody asked my opinion. All I've got to do is pass five lethal trials that'll prove I'm the universe's last chance at salvation. To do so, I'll have to lean hard on those three years of Okinawan jiu-jutsu classes I took in high school, learn to wield my new magic sword, and, oh yeah - select five women to flesh out my team.

Maggie Carpenter needs an escape from her everyday life and her overbearing boss. David Tomlinson has ruined her life and career by acquiring her family's business and tying her to an untenable employment contract. So she and her friend head for an evening at the Den to explore their wildest fantasies...only to find David there looking ridiculously sexy with a bare chest and a set of handcuffs attached to his belt loop.

I was transported to a world of Cultivation and granted the power to make women into weapons. Women who were powerless before I came, but now they are capable of incredible magic. I won’t stop until my arsenal is a thousand strong and every other guild is beneath mine.

After they almost die in San Francisco, Hunter and his team of beautiful women go to the Mediterranean to seek out their next recruit. Turns out it’s one of Hunter’s old mentors...and a dude. Titan has basically become a hermit. He’s living on a tiny Greek island with two women, and doesn’t ever want to battle a supervillain again. But a seismic shift is about to occur. A new threat will rise...and whether or not Hunter can pull his old friend out of retirement might just determine the fate of the world.

She has a body that makes men beg. I had to have her. I didn't realize one night with her would be a drug - one I'd crave over and over. Katie's past brings me to her door. I should walk away. I can't. My president asked me to do this job and, technically, I am. I'm doing her against the wall, in the shower, on the counter, the table, and, occasionally, even the bed. The heat between us is intense and white-hot like an open flame. I can't walk away, even for my president, the man I swore to follow into hell.

My name's Noah Kilmartin. I'm from Ruddock, Ohio, and I'm about 85% unqualified to save the universe from the slavering demonic hordes of the super evil bitch queen Lilith. But I haven't failed yet. Somehow I've passed the five trials, accumulated a team of powerful companions, and made it through the portal into Ghogiel. A whole universe lies before me, chock full of Lilith's followers and demons, and it's my job to not only find my way to her personal realm, but do so without losing my sanity, morality, or any of my companions.

Paul and his companions are at Becker State Park, preparing to raise the Mansion and restore it to some semblance of flight. As they do, a group of supernaturals emerges from the woods, battered and frightened. They’ve been attacked by a madman called "the Hunter" who has returned after a long time away. They speak about him with almost mythic intent, treating him like a figure from a dark fairy tale. Little does Paul know that at that moment, the Hunter may prove the demise of himself, his supernatural companions, and the House of the Talismancer.

Elves were supposed to be gone, defeated in the great war. Magic is practiced behind closed doors, and only by the elites. All I was trying to do was survive, maybe with a bit more curiosity about my master's magic than I should've allowed. He caught me snooping, and sent me on a quest to steal a magic scroll. A quest that would change my life.

He collected beautiful things. Rare things. Ripped them out of their natural environment and preserved them in all of their dead splendor. The problem was I wasn't beautiful. I was all of the hideous and ugly realities of the world packaged into one broken human being. He came to kill me. That was his business. Death. He ripped me out of my natural environment, the prison I'd created, and locked me away with all of his beautiful dead things.

There's an animal in me that I keep hidden. Beth calls to him. She tempts the monster and lures him to the surface. I'm obsessed with her. I can't stay away, even when doing so puts my entire club in danger. Her blood is on my hands. I formed her to fit only me. I was her first and if I have to kill everyone in our way. So be it. I will be her last. She is mine.

John Devonte looked to the outskirts of the Draconic Empire for refuge. After adventuring for the past two decades–hunting monsters and collecting coin–he thought the town of Vismuth would provide some solace. Except what he discovered there was the beginning of the end. The Deadlands have come to life, and out of them pour bestial creatures that will devour all in their path. Luckily for John, he’s discovered that he’s a True Dragon. Not only that, but he can use the magic of Soul Gems, and with them, create his Wargear out of the beautiful women who fight alongside him.

Can you love and hate the same person? I fell in love too fast, too young. I made decisions I thought would protect the ones I love. Now I'm hated for them. Skull is the love of my life. But our life was wrapped up in lies. We were captured by them, and left with nothing when they exploded. How much can a heart take before it breaks and just doesn't care anymore?

We’ve been traveling all over the country, recruiting new members for our club. Before we call it quits, we make a pitstop in Las Vegas. I’m owed a debt, and I’ve come to collect. It’s been awhile since I spoke to the president of the Ruthless Kings. And I’m calling in my marker. I figured I’d ask for cash, maybe a few new recruits, arms-dealer networks, but he said no. That’s fine. But then I set my sights on her. A blonde bombshell. Yeah, she’s mine.

Annie is everything I shouldn't want. From that uptight dress to the hair she wears in a damn bun, down to those black rimmed glasses. We don't fit. A librarian and a biker, and if that's not cliché enough, she has cats!? I should run. I'm not going to. One taste and I only want more. There's a tiger hiding behind that uptight prudish disguise she insists on wearing - and once I get my teeth into her...I'm never letting go.

John Devonte and his Wargear have a new home in the Deadlands. The Deadlands have been sealed by the Draconic Emperor's scalemancers. The only way for John and his Wargear women to survive is to penetrate the heart of the Deadlands and find the "Omphalos," the navel of the world. Whatever power lies there, John isn’t sure, but the Draconic Emperor is willing to kill for it. If John can find it first, he might just find himself with the power to rival anyone else in the world.
