I didn’t know I was a witch until a pair of cats started talking to me and I received an official summons to report to a training school for my supernatural abilities. That’s when I’m shipped off to a highly esteemed university for the supernatural, Moongrove Academy. I go to class alongside shifters, vampires, and other creatures straight from the paranormal books I love so much.

An ancient terror loose on campus. Three men who can help me stop it. When magical testing reveals that I’m a librarian witch, I’m ecstatic. Except, it turns out it means I’m a custodian of knowledge and creatures from beyond our dimension, rather than a curator of books. Because of my magic, I know about the ancient dimensional being that escaped from centuries-long imprisonment in the library. Murders begin across the campus that can only be traced back to this monster. The situation wakes Geo, a duty-bound gargoyle who senses danger to his destined mate—me.

The glimmer of hope I held was shattered. Happiness was yanked away from me all over again by the same person that broke me at fifteen. Whether he’d done the deed or not didn’t matter. My mind only saw his face lurking in the shadows, waiting to strike. Kaivan McMillan ripped open the scars on my soul and let them bleed.

It’s time I wise up, before I’m buried in an early grave. Avenging my friend has never seemed more difficult. Things aren’t as they seem on campus. The killer picking off students wears a familiar face, but more sinister forces are at work while he distracts us. I am uniquely positioned to save lives, despite being a freshman witch, as long as I can work together with three very different men. That’s so much easier said than done.

I’ve always wanted to conquer the Big 5 dungeons ever since one of them took the life of my father nearly fifteen years ago. Nobody ever said the Path of Progression was easy, but my burning desire to dive can’t be quenched. I just never thought I’d be prohibited from getting a diving license just because I tried to help a bratty blonde girl get hers. Soon, we’re joined by a lovely brunette bookworm, and we start diving the dungeon on our own terms.

With unique and mighty powers to unlock, levels to gain, and some daring damsels on his team, can he survive long enough to save the kingdom?

An emergency measure ensures that no one can enter or leave the pocket dimension that holds Cerris City. Everyone I love and care about is stuck in the city with me.

An oathbreaker paladin. An angel with a dark secret. An unexpected partnership to restore a shattered world. Centuries ago, a cabal of powerful mages cast a disastrous spell that corrupted the source of magic, transforming much of the world's population into merciless monsters called Riven. Empires crumbled. Civilization collapsed.

How do you defeat a vicious Dungeon Master with power over all the dungeons in the world? This is the question that confronts me and my team after our journey to Cozocomo. The Vann family has struck so hard that it throws the fate of the entire world into question. With dungeons overflowing everywhere, it’s up to us to stop them for good.

My life had been a series of tragic events. When Snake stormed back into my world, I was forced to stare into his vengeful blue eyes and the word agony took on a whole new meaning. Innocence is a funny word. It means something different for everyone, but for me it meant growing up far too young. It meant falling in love with a boy, and then having my heart ripped out of my chest in such a painful way that I never thought I’d recover.

Months after destroying the ancient wraith that plagued Sable Haven, Jack has found something he never expected—a life worth living.

The war in Troyan is nearly over when mythical ice giants begin ravaging the northern coasts. To counter the threat, I'll have to sail to the remote island of Meranthia, where rogue pirates guard the secret of a floating ice platform at the heart of the chaos. Its purpose? To restore the balance of the world by blanketing the entire continent in endless winter. With my women at my side, I will end the threat of these legendary creatures. Or die trying.

Thanks to the Bronte Clan's latest blunder, I became a dual Tier 1 demonic deity and gained over a hundred thousand new denizens. And if that wasn't enough, they still owed me another concession. But now it's finally time for the War Games Tournament to begin. My denizens and my new goddesses, Mielikki and Amara, are ready for whatever may come. And the best part is I can advance to Tier 2 whenever I choose.

Nobody ever said the Path of Progression was easy, but my burning desire to dive can’t be quenched. I just never thought I’d be prohibited from getting a diving license just because I tried to help a bratty blonde girl get hers.

The sky is on fire, and I’m not talking poetic metaphor or artistic imagery fluff. No. That’s literal, not lyrical. Try to keep up. It’s been 150 years since the end of mankind, or at least the almost-end. Bombs rained down, entire cities leveled, and biowarfare nearly erased every trace of us from the Earth. But the worst came after. Stars fell from the sky, breaking every law of nature and every rule of physics. Then the Rip tore open. To where? Who the hell knows. But dragons came through, huge and vicious and scary enough to make a grown man shit his pants.

Quintasia stands on the razor's edge of oblivion. Jez has claimed control—and with it, the shattering truth: this academy of stone and shadow is their reality, its fate in her fragile grip. Beyond the dungeon's membrane, the elves are coming. An ancient, ravenous tide of starlight and spite, they will consume every soul, every memory, every last spark of defiance. Geraint and Eve crawl from the battle with the Horrors, broken but burning with venomous purpose.

Growing up on modern day Earth, I had no idea I’d been selected from birth to help a dying race save their population. So when a starship abducts me for a royal wedding with galactic consequences, my only option is to help its crew of beautiful officers complete their mission. The catch?
