Die zwanzigjährige Violet Sorrengail sollte in den Schreiberquadranten eintreten und ein ruhiges Leben zwischen Büchern und Geschichte führen.

Astrid has fought fear, spilled blood, and defied fate—but nothing has broken her like losing Kai. Her dragonborn mate—tormented and flawed—was everything she shouldn’t have wanted and everything she can’t live without. Now he’s trapped in a place where magic withers and hope begins to rot. Astrid will risk everything to find him. Even if it means walking into a nightmare with no promise of return. But the path to Kai is treacherous, and there are those who plot to see her fail. Lines will be crossed. Secrets burn. And the price? It’s only rising. Because rescuing Kai is only the beginning.

The world is divided by the Line of Limit. To the north are the Tokkebifire people able to manipulate flames as both weapons and illusions; Rekon – giant birdmen with immense strength and warrior acumen; and the humans – as divided as the other races are unified. To the south are the Nhaga – a reptilian people who relinquish their hearts for immortality. For centuries, the races didn’t cross that line, but change is in the air. A Nhaga is being sent North…and a trio is being dispatched to make sure this agent from the South makes it out alive – one from each race.

Chaos is the word of the day in the provinces of the Ossan Empire. The city of Holikan has risen up in revolt, only to be put down again by the Ossan Foreign Legion under the command of Demir Grappo. But that wasn’t the plan, and Demir has fled his responsibilities after witnessing the brutality of his own troops. He wanders aimlessly, a husk of his former self, until his quest to escape his guilt crosses paths with a foreigner on a mission of her own.

Over twenty-five years have passed since the Battle of Freeguard. Old wounds have healed, peace and prosperity reign, children have grown, and the future appears bright. Yet, greed still lingers, and a quest for lost wealth uncovers something from the past, something best left buried, unleashing dark forces of cataclysmic proportions. As the world plunges into darkness and humanity teeters on the brink, the circle of fate turns, and old legends must rise in a desperate bid to save what remains … but will they be cursed to fail?

For years, I’ve made it my priority to deliver justice and bring down those who prey on the weak. The shifty landlords, deceitful realtors, and dirty politicians in New Rothwick cannot hide from me. As an investigative reporter with a special ability for getting people to talk, my life has been good. Until the evening I find out I’m not human.

Humans and Fae once lived harmoniously on the mighty continent Pheanixios, but the Fae quickly realized the power they held, and forced the Humans into submission. A war broke out, ending in a continent broken into two, severed by hatred. The Fae revels in magic, while the Humans have outlawed it. As thousands of years passed, both continents witnessed decay. A relentless plague gripped the once-thriving lands, reducing mountains to rubble, silencing once-lush forests, and draining rivers dry. Animals transformed into savage beasts, and humanity faced a relentless onslaught of illness.

In a sleepy village in the Shire, a young hobbit is entrusted with an immense task. He must make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ruling Ring of Power - the only thing that prevents the Dark Lord Sauron’s evil dominion. Thus begins J. R. R. Tolkien’s classic tale of adventure, which continues in The Two Towers and The Return of the King.

The aftermath of battling the Zealot advances Ruwen’s Soul to level four, adding to the tension between his magic systems. The fate of this fragile balance hinges on mastering his Chakras, and failure will result in losing them forever. Reuniting with old friends, Ruwen learns the basics of Chakra magic, but before making much progress, he receives a summons he can’t refuse. The Ink Lord Conclave he triggered a month earlier requires his presence, and it seems he didn’t follow tradition very closely, or at all, and now the consequences had arrived.

All sagas begin with blood. Born upon the ice world of Fenris, Ivar Krakenblood has been raised to stand as one of its warrior sons, anointed to serve as a Wolf Priest. Life and death are his to give, and Ivar has proven his worth with deed and word. Still, the glory of true legend has always escaped him.

The city of Liebe is gone and Oscar presumed dead. With Tabby Miss Cakes adrift in a crumbling realm of myth and memory, she is not sure what’s real anymore—or if anything ever was. When Oscar reappears, inexplicably alive, the two stumble into a bizarrely wholesome world where animals sand horses, kindness is weaponised, and no one seems to notice the sky is falling.

The villain’s a poet, the weapon is verse, and the whole world’s a stage. The Ar’dath-Irr’s final act is nearly complete—and the applause will be apocalyptic. Oscar Teabag-Dooven, once a Velvet Paw, is all that stands between a fractured universe and total obliteration. But Oscar wanted to be a poet, not a hero, not a destroyer, and certainly not the most loathed animal on the planet. After his avant-garde recital triggers mass death, suspicious reincarnations and catastrophic misunderstandings involving curry, he’s the only one left to blame.

The interconnected stories in this book are diverse, and span several decades. They range from an adventure to find a fallen star, hunting a mythical beast, building up the settlement, and exploring the wider world. As with Peter’s first two novels, this book is part guide to survival, and part guide to homesteading and living off the land. This book is set just after the end of the first two, which converged at the end. All three books are told without specific dialogue, as if being recounted around a campfire by an old friend.

With monstrous, skinless creatures tearing across kingdoms and the sinister Ar’dath-Irr wielding dark magic like its going out of fashion, Oscar is again hailed as the hero that entire planets need. But he’s not interested. He’s tired, jaded and more invested in rhyming couplets than strategic warfare.

Samael the Lightbringer was the highest of the archangels, beloved and exalted. But when God grants free will to mankind, a fracture opens in Samael's heart. Why are mortals offered choice while angels remain bound in obedience? Why must love be commanded, not given freely? As questions bloom and silence answers, Samael begins to see the cracks in perfection. Between Lilith's expulsion from Eden and his brother's punishment for sharing sacred knowledge, Samael's unrest ignites into rebellion. What begins as doubt becomes defiance.

Before the dawn of this world, Almira and her siblings agree to take a “mortality test”—a rite of passage meant to shape them into worthy heirs of their parents’ kingdom. But there’s a catch: once the test begins, they’ll remember nothing—not who they are, nor why they came. When Emily Starp awakens in a bustling city with no memory, she’s told her life has just begun and there’s nothing to remember. But as she stumbles through the etiquette and culture of this new world, she discovers The Book of Panosyn—the writings of an ancient philosopher who speaks of other worlds and forgotten gods.

From an award-winning author and lifelong musician and composer comes the third novel of The Bardic Isles Series. Over two centuries before the birth of Kaelin, the Bardic Order in Eire is at its zenith and the Gift is prevalent, the possession of Bards and Masters who know and understand its power. But long-standing tensions between the Bardic and Druidic Orders are mounting, and their uneasy alliance is in danger of collapsing.

1900 a.C. L’area che gli indiani moderni associano erroneamente alla civiltà della valle dell’Indo, per gli abitanti di quell’epoca era la terra di Meluha, un regno quasi perfetto creato molti secoli prima dal signore Ram, uno dei più grandi re mai esistiti. Ma quell’impero, un tempo fiero e rigoglioso, e i suoi governatori suryavanshi furono costretti ad affrontare gravi pericoli poiché il loro fiume principale, il venerato Saraswati, si stava lentamente prosciugando. Non solo: erano costantemente sotto attacco a causa delle continue incursioni armate provenienti dalla terra dei chandravanshi, a est.

Alles, was Gryph wollte, als er die Reiche betrat, war, seine vermisste Schwester zu finden. Dann verärgerte er einen machtbesessenen Gott, wurde in den untoten Höllenkerker des Hügelgrabs verbannt und landete Auge in Auge mit einem seelenfressenden Lich. Doch mit Hilfe einer bunt zusammengewürfelten Gruppe von Gefährten entkam Gryph aus dem Hügelgrab in ein grünes Paradies voller Magie und Wunder. Alles sah gut aus, bis die Enthüllung eines tödlichen Geheimnisses zu Verrat und Mord führte.

When The Sandman, also known as Lord Morpheus - the immortal king of dreams, stories and the imagination - is pulled from his realm and imprisoned on Earth by a nefarious cult, he languishes for decades before finally escaping.
