A teenage girl realizes her lifelong best friends are being seduced by a supernatural force, and must choose between being alone and being ensnared together. A young woman in a troubled relationship finds herself caught between two versions of the same boyfriend—one volatile, and one too good to be true. A lonely mother fears her young child's best friend is a witch. And, in the titular novella, a new widow must decide how far she's willing to go to steal her husband back from the dead.

Nick Summerland traded in the hectic pace of Seattle for the familiar haunts of his hometown, Silvervale. He thought the move would dampen his curse: the ability to see life ticking away from those with less than a year to live. Instead of relief, he discovers one of the cursed death clocks hanging over his best friend. Nick learns Silvervale has its own secrets, including a beautiful, magic-wielding Medium who sees the same things he does, and a portal to an all-women’s college known as the Ghost Academy that might have the answers Nick needs.

Tyler Thorn worked all his life to rise above the hand he'd been given. His reward? Constant agony and six figures of medical debt. Now humanity has been abducted to the multiverse, and he wakes up in the midst of alien ruins, barely able to stand and faced with a swarm of vicious monsters. He must accept a Curse just to survive—forever sealing his magic within his body and rendering most forms of power completely inaccessible to him. But with the upside of an enormous mana pool, Tyler finds himself thriving—even if it’s only with the force of his relentless physical might.

His solution to all of it: throw a Zone Faire. Games, monster trucks, a joust, friendly competition, and absolutely zero drama. That last part is not going to happen. Mrs. McGillicuddy has declared war on Jolene the Wasp Queen, the assassin is not going to wait for the pie-eating contest, and someone is apparently getting married. The harem keeps growing. The LitRPG progression keeps delivering. The chaos has fully committed to being unhinged, and this installment is the most bonkers one yet—which is saying something.

A single choice can shatter a world. A single death can ignite a war. And a single spark of love can rewrite destiny. Seven years after severing every tie to the Sanctuary and the Fae they once fought beside, Lucas and Mark vanished into the dark. Hidden. Haunted. Determined to protect the only family they have left. But the past has teeth, and it always finds a way to bite back. When an old enemy rises stronger than ever, their shadows are torn open. A violent confrontation exposes a truth Lucas never wanted to face. Opal. The daughter he abandoned in the name of severance.

After working outdoors for years, I had built the kind of strength that many only dream about. Intent on building a new life for myself, I set my sights on the road so that I could explore the wilderness all over the country. But to explore, a man needs the right kind of vehicle. And then I found it—an old RV sitting in a dusty old lot, with a price tag so cheap that it was an absolute steal. Buying it seemed like a no-brainer, but before I could pull out of the lot, the RV had other plans about where it was going, and sent me to a whole other world.
