The fall from NHL superstar to domestic disaster was swift and painful. When I became the legal guardian of my five younger siblings, I had no idea what I was doing. One year later, I'm still lost. Coaching CU's hockey team might be the only thing I'm excelling at. But when our star forward is failing math, I have to do what it takes to keep him on the team. Even if it's going head-to-head with Jasper Eckstein. One minute I'm confronting the notorious hockey-hating professor, and the next I'm agreeing to be his date to a twenty-year high school reunion. I don't know how that happened.

Hockey, studying, and school runs. That's my life now. After a tragic accident that took our parents' lives, it's up to me and my big brother to take care of our five younger siblings. In between burning their meals and keeping them from killing each other, I'm supposed to get a college degree. If I don't get my grades up, I'm in danger of losing the one thing that makes me happy: my spot on the hockey team.

It turns out making out with my best friend in high school could be considered gay. Who knew? Apparently, everyone but me. Now that it's been pointed out, I can't help reliving it in my head. Repeatedly. Good-bye Denial Town, hello Confusionville. When my path leads me down the gay dating app route, I don't expect to meet anyone I like, but then I meet him. He can't be more opposite than me. He's smart, he hates hockey, and he identifies as demi - something I've never heard of. Yet I can't deny something's there.

For the last three years, I've lived and breathed hockey with one goal: team captain. There's only one thing standing in my way. TJ Beckett. Beck is irresponsible and immature, and I've hated him since the moment we met freshman year. Yet the coaches see something in him I obviously can't, and they refuse to choose between us. The captain spot is going to a team vote. And the team thinks that what we need are a bunch of challenges to prove our worth.

At the age of twenty-seven, Gerad suffered a life-altering breakdown. When conventional treatments failed to help, he sought an alternative solution and immersed himself in the teachings of ancient Chinese philosophy and acupuncture. According to this system of medicine, we are all made up of the five elements of Nature (wood, fire, earth, metal, water). When they are in balance, we thrive; when they are not, chaos ensues. Sceptical at first, but desperate to feel well, Gerad took a leap of faith—one that was to open his eyes to a new way of being.

Lässt ihn natürlich rein. Dex Mitchale ist vieles – ein gefeierter NHL-Spieler, chaotisch, charmant, manchmal ein bisschen verpeilt. Nur in Sachen Liebe hat er absolut keinen Plan. Sich binden? Keine Chance. Gefühle zeigen? Lieber nicht.

Finding out those closest to me don’t see me as the great guy I think I am not only kicks me in the gut, it makes me question everything. Until that happened, I didn’t think I had many regrets in my life. Now, I have nothing but regrets. And when my NHL team is bought out, and the new owner makes his presence known, my existential crisis kicks up a notch. Because he might be my biggest regret of all. Parker Duchene. I made his life a living hell in high school, and now he’s inserting himself into my career to repay the favor.

Roark von Graf has been fighting for one thing since the night his family was slaughtered: to kill the Tyrant King. Even when he was transported to a strange new world called a VRMMORPG, Roark recruited an army of Trolls, built a nation of high-level Dungeons, and crushed his opposition through trickery, seedy alliances, and sheer overwhelming force, all in service of revenge.

Vom NHL-Superstar zum Versager zu Hause – für Westly Dalton kam der Absturz schnell und hart. Völlig unverhofft wurde er zum Vormund seiner fünf jüngeren Geschwister, und auch ein Jahr später fühlt er sich in der neuen Rolle noch kein bisschen angekommen. Sein einziger Lichtblick ist der Job als Coach für das Eishockeyteam der Colchester University. Als der Erfolg der Mannschaft in Gefahr ist, weil einer der besten Spieler aufgrund seiner Noten kurz vor dem Rauswurf steht, geht West mit dem unbeliebten Mathematikprofessor einen ungewöhnlichen Deal ein.

Asher Dalton ist nicht gerade für sein sonniges Gemüt bekannt. Nach dem tragischen Unfalltod seiner Eltern hat er seine Karriere als Eishockeyprofi aufgegeben, um gemeinsam mit seinem Bruder West die jüngeren Geschwister aufzuziehen. Doch Asher ist von seinem neuen Leben komplett überfordert, seine Noten leiden, und er muss wohl oder übel das Nachhilfeangebot von Kole annehmen, wenn er wenigstens im College-Eishockeyteam bleiben will. Auch wenn er genau weiß, dass man sich vom Sohn des Trainers lieber fernhalten sollte.

Forged in the fires of the lawless wasteland, Clay, Alex, and Joe have finally earned the unimaginable power of Incants. All they want now is to settle down, drink a few beers, and carve out a new life west of the containment wall. Not everyone in the IZ has such noble goals at heart, however. When the Jaeger Squad learns that another group of magic-slinging Incants are enslaving homesteaders to farm gold and harvest enchanted items to sell on the black market, they can’t just turn a blind eye. Especially since Clay and the others are the only ones with the power to make things right.

The Jaeger squad has finally tracked down Griff’s kidnapped daughter. The problem? She’s locked away in the deadliest dungeon in the wasteland—the Supermax. A magical prison for the mobs and Incants too dangerous to go free, but too valuable to kill off. None of the magical prisoners who have disappeared into the dungeon turned prison have ever been heard from again, but the Jaeger squad is looking to be the first. It’s time for a jailbreak in the IZ. But the Supermax is hiding a deep, dark secret. One that just might get the Jaegers killed. Or worse.

Two months ago, Clay Jaeger, his wife Alex, and his chainsaw-toting brother Joe came to the Infested Zone on a mission: kill a Dungeon Lord. What they found along the way was a land of opportunity. Gold-dropping monsters, magical weapons, and best of all, freedom—all there for the taking. If they can live long enough to grab it. Surviving in the wasteland has been a constant fight, but thriving in it, that’s going to take something more. Not just power, but the brains to use it in ways nobody’s seen before.

Clay Jaeger finally has the chance to become the spellslinger he always wanted to be—the one his family needs him to be to survive the dangers of the wasteland. A teacup pig claiming to be a cursed Great Blue Wyrm has offered them a quest to take out a Dungeon Lord with the exact power set Clay’s been looking for. There’s just one problem. The Dungeon Lord can steal the souls of his enemies and summon them to fight his battles for him. Clay is more than willing to lay down his life to protect his family, but is he willing to risk his eternal soul on a gamble that might not pay off?

Twenty years ago, the Merge brought armies of monsters flooding into the West Coast. Dungeons popped up in shopping malls, airports, and Starbucks. Walls were built to contain the spread, but the promise of priceless loot dropped by the creatures inspired a new type of gold rush. Clay Jaeger has nothing left outside the walls. Civilization took everything he worked for, chewed it up, and spat it out. Now Clay, his wife Alex, and his beer-loving, chainsaw-toting brother, Joe, are going west to try their hand at monster killing.

Ezra Palaszczuk hat alles, was er will: Partys, Dates und eine erfolgreiche Karriere in der NHL. Wäre da nur nicht Anton Hayes. Der Flügelstürmer aus Philly ist arrogant, unnahbar und verdammt anstrengend. Aber das ist egal – Ezra interessiert sich sowieso nicht für ihn. Kein bisschen. Auch nicht nach dieser einen Nacht. Anton lebt für den Sport. Er hat hart dafür gearbeitet, einer der Besten in der Liga zu sein – ohne dass sein Privatleben die Schlagzeilen bestimmt. Ezra ist das genaue Gegenteil: laut, selbstbewusst und ganz schön aufreizend.

Clay Jaeger and his family have faced down hordes of mobs, evil forces, and deadly Dungeon Lords since they came to the IZ, but this is the first time all of Civilization has been turned against them. Framed for heinous crimes they didn’t commit, Clay, Alex, and Joe will have to fight back with every resource the wasteland has at its disposal. If that includes taking over a dungeon and turning it against their enemies, so be it. This time, it’s not just the Jaegers’ lives on the line. This is bigger than them. The freedom of every wastelander and mob in the IZ is at stake.

Moms are good at one thing: the guilt trip. It’s the only reason I’m at the funeral of a man I’ve never had anything to do with. I’ll show up, make her happy, and get out. At least that’s what I think until I learn daddy dearest has left me a crap load of money and the obligation to learn about the family business. All from his eldest son who looks nothing like the rest of us.
