Welcome to Haver-Towne. The sedate colonial resort is the perfect place where Stew Fanshawe can get away from it all for a while. But instead finding tranquility and self-reflection, Stew finds something much more unique: a town that was once steeped in a quagmire of witchcraft, satanic debauchery, and centuries-old occult science. Indeed, Haver-Towne has a most colorful history: A warlock who sires children with his own daughter. A witch whose sheer diabolism staggers even the most demented. And a 300-year-old mansion in whose walls are embalmed the infernal secret of...Witch-Water.

My name is Alan Markham, and this all happened a while ago, but the memories don’t go away. Looking back, I can see that our lives had been carried along like a rudderless ship in a storm. The life we had is gone. It sank beneath the ocean waves, and I was powerless to prevent that. I’m controlling my problem, but I’m under no illusions. I could come apart at the seams any time, should I pick up a drink.

Join the last vestiges of Humanity and their alien allies (the reptilian Thrynn, the insectoid Velox, and the plant-based Elowan) as they attempt to carve out their own territory in a sector of space filled with wondrous opportunity and deadly threats. Brave explorers seek out new worlds to colonize while merchants cruise from starport to starport, their holds laden with exotic goods. Not all in this futuristic setting have noble intent. For every prospector and trader attempting to make a difference, a dozen pirates, smugglers, and mobsters engage in all manner of criminal enterprise.

Alright, no need to panic. Instead of never waking from my crash, I found myself relocated. Before the accident, I was a woman in her late 20s, working as a mid-level banker who was a rising star destined for greatness.

Raiden is the firstborn son and heir to the throne. When his father is injured, the weight of the crown is heavier than ever. At 17 years old, Raiden isn’t sure he can live up to the king’s legacy. Egan is a dragon who appears human. He works for his family as a blacksmith. The secret he must protect keeps him from getting close to anyone. After a chance encounter, Raiden discovers Egan’s secret.

The crown is a heavy burden, and Pharun is still fighting to keep his stolen throne. War with East Avralaen is imminent, but the war to keep peace in his own bedroom is far bloodier. There are those who claim to love him, and those who cannot even pretend, and their conspiracies grow thicker by the day.

What was once Shrukian’s promised birthright is now an uncertain future. In the wake of his brother’s threats, he has been forced to flee the capital city and abandon his father’s crown. Allies may be hiding in the most unlikely of places, but the price for war is high, and war is what it will take to pry the crown from his brother’s claws.

Fear and loneliness are Sirain’s only reward for proving her claim to the throne of Helle. Suffering from a broken heart and burdened by guilt, her bleak future worsens when the Fates issue a kill order for her father. If she wants to save him, Sirain must endure opening old wounds and face the consequences of her choices.

Desperate for a final taste of freedom before marrying the stranger chosen by his parents, brooding Pace, Second Prince of the Cupids, sneaks into the human world with his friends. When they encounter dangerous, dark beings that should not exist, he’s left with more questions than answers.

Prince Pharun was marked by the gods at birth, yet he has lived his entire life in his younger brother's shadow. Despite becoming Crowned Priest, a right hand to the divine, his father only ever treated him with contempt. Now, the king is dead, and he has named his second son his successor. Pharun is prepared to fight tooth and claw for his birthright, even if that means destroying what little family he has left.

Water didn't flow right on Hidrin, not as it used to. It’s been like this for millennia. Rather than rest in basins or canyons, waters rise high into the sky to pierce clouds and race over continents. Bels, they are called. Mimicking the image of a yarn ball, they weave over and under one another, disrupting the already fractured view of the stars. Strange sights, but sights that people have grown comfortable and accustomed to.
