The greatest of Sylvas’ nightmares has been conquered, yet even so, he is hollower than ever. How much more will he need to sacrifice to live up to the legacy that the Aion have shackled him with? What could he possibly do to stop the cataclysm that has been set loose? The answer lies in the advancing fleet of the Obsidian Dominion as he and the others race to meet it, hopefully before it tears through what’s left of the core worlds.

Absalom Scryne isn't himself. On the one hand, he's a well-rounded gentleman of a sentient hat with two beloved apprentices and a tagalong swordsman. On the other, he's a rather furious wizard sitting on the opposite side of a desk, demanding they give back his hat. Needless to say, it's not an ideal situation. And it's about to get worse. Because the battle between civilization and all the monsters of the Badlands and the underworld is about to begin.

The Culling is over, and against all odds, Sylvas stands victorious. But even so, his training isn’t over. In fact, it’s barely even begun. Before he can do anything more than catch his breath, he and all the other cadets are whisked off planet for their next trial. Onslaught Citadel. And this time, dying won’t be enough to save them.

Afin de participer aux Sectionnels – où s'affrontent les meilleurs cadets des académies du Secteur 9 d'Astra-3 – Rei doit d'abord arracher sa qualification au tournoi Intrascolaire de Galens... et faire taire ses détracteurs. La lutte est acharnée, les heures d'entraînement s'enchaînent et les coups bas pleuvent pour rattraper les hauts Rangs de l'Institut comme Aria et Logan Grant, car pour les premières années, l'enjeu est de taille.

Auric Cain found his chance. He proved himself, took control of his life, and became stronger than he ever thought possible. So why is everything falling apart? Literally. With the help of allies old and new, Auric thwarted Salvo’s plan and narrowly avoided cataclysm. But in the wake of that confrontation, something went very, very wrong. Now everywhere Auric turns he sees that his home, his world, and even the System itself are coming apart at the seams. Entropic gateborn roam the wilds unchecked while rogue storms and freak anomalies spring up seemingly at random.

Nach dem Sieg über Graves und seine Anhänger scheint in Aldford endlich Ruhe einzukehren. Neue Siedler werden erwartet, die Stadt wächst und Virtus beginnt, sich eine Zukunft an der Grenze aufzubauen. Doch die Verstärkung aus Eberia trifft nie ein. Als Marcus und seine Freunde sich auf die Suche nach den verschwundenen Siedlern machen, stoßen sie auf Banditen, Intrigen und einen Konflikt, der weit größer ist, als sie zunächst ahnen. Schon bald geraten sie zwischen die Fronten eberianischer Machtspiele – und entdecken eine Verschwörung, die Aldford vollständig vernichten könnte.

All Auric Cain ever wanted was a chance. A chance to prove himself. A chance to take control of his life. A chance to be more than a lowly D-Tier, the lowest of the low, in a world broken by the arrival of an alien, enigmatic being known as The System.

Maulkin and his Eternal allies may have just caused the apocalypse, but at least they’re doing it with style. The Voidgod is back and the Alvaren Queen is now convinced that Maulkin is the second coming of the Voidgod himself, but at least they have the totally awesome magic sword made out of the weapon that put the big bad down for a long nap last time! No wait, they don’t. The first thing Araphel did after stretching and yawning was to turn it to dust.

After arriving back to civilization Sylvas and the others scramble to discover what to do next. Do they return to the Ardent and stand fast against the eidolon incursion? Do they answer the council’s call and return to the core worlds, saving what lives they can? Or do they leave the Empyrean Alliance behind and pursue the legacy of the Aions? Whatever they choose, they must choose quickly.

Thy legend was born in the shadow of the beast. Marked with their sign. All dust in the wind. Thy strength was forged in the shadow of the beast. Strength within. Echoes without. Loathe greatest of all when beasts’ shadows are gone. No longer in shadow, the shadow in thee. Breaker of stars, devourer of gods. Haunted triumphs none would crave.

The unimaginable has happened. Sylvas has taken in War, Blood, and Strife and bound it to his heart. A feat that has seen the Empyrean Alliance plucking him from the comforts of the Ardent and pulling back the veil that once masked everything. Now, for the first time ever, Sylvas can see his place in the galaxy, standing between the threats that seek to unmake it.

Gavin, sundered from his band, seeks to survive the trials and tribulations of a decidedly minor Gladiator. He is forgotten by most, but still draws the hate of Valaran diVolcanus, the most vicious fighter among his peers. As Gavin wades into the Free Leagues, Sadira reaches the zenith of her career, assuring her place in the Grand Championships. But jealousy and betrayal mar her ascent, and while she might be a diva on the fighting grounds, she soon discovers that she is only a pawn in the Great Games. 

Auric Cain saved Earth—and doomed himself. At least, that was the plan when he dragged the Prophet with him into the purgatorial abyss. It was working, too, right up until they landed in a new instance: West’s home world. It’s an alien, hostile place the likes of which no human has ever seen, where predators lurk behind every fern and trunk. If Auric’s not meant to be prey in this place, then why is he so tasty and bite-sized?

One Fallen Warrior stands between the Fractured Realms and Chaos. The walls of Farreach broke at the third bell. Velius Pyre held the line alongside the militia as the Devourers surged over the walls, as everyone he'd ever known died beside him. The angel who finally answered their prayers came...

Lazarus Cain, Mitglied der Diebesgilde Grim Shadows, erwacht gefesselt in einer Folterkammer – ohne Erinnerung daran, wie er dort gelandet ist. Das Einzige, was ihm geblieben ist, ist eine mysteriöse magische Sigille, die in seine Brust gebrannt wurde. Auf der Suche nach seinen verschwundenen Gefährten gerät Lazarus immer tiefer in den brutalen Machtkampf der Diebesgilden von Eberia. Verrat, Intrigen und uralte Geheimnisse ziehen sich durch die Schatten der Stadt, und schon bald wird klar, dass weit mehr hinter seinem Gedächtnisverlust steckt als ein misslungener Auftrag.

Marcus wollte nichts weiter als dem Stillstand seines alten Lebens entkommen. Gemeinsam mit seinen Freunden betritt er Ascend Online, die fortschrittlichste virtuelle Welt aller Zeiten–ein Ort voller Magie, Monster und unbegrenzter Möglichkeiten. Doch kurz nach dem Einloggen wird Marcus von seiner Gruppe getrennt und landet mitten in einem Goblinangriff auf das abgelegene Grenzdorf Aldford. Gemeinsam mit den wenigen Überlebenden gelingt es ihm, die Siedlung vor dem Untergang zu bewahren. Der Sieg hat jedoch seinen Preis.

In the Domains, those born with magic have only one place where they can prove themselves worthy of it: the brutal pits of the arena, where they will either grow in power and build a following with every victory, or risk dishonor and death in defeat. For these "Gladiators", the ultimate prize for their struggle is a place among the Chosen, the immortal rulers of that vast and decadent empire.
