Welcome to Threshing Day, the brutal, high-stakes trial where would-be riders at Basgiath War College fight to earn the bond of a dragon or die trying. Amid ruthless competition and dragon fire, these thirteen cadets must survive a battlefield where desperate rivals will do anything to gain an...

Reed Altius was the Hero's punching bag — a Summoner whose "junk" skill spat out wet boots and dead rats while Callum Drayne took the credit and the glory. Then they left him to die in a dungeon, his skill evolved to Mythic, and he started summoning legendary dead women from the system's sealed archives. Now the war he started is coming to a head.

Reed's summoning skill pulled a wooden chair during a boss fight. A chair. It sat in the summoning circle while a level 35 dungeon guardian tried to cave his skull in. He used it as a shield. That's what [Random Summon] was: 98% garbage, 2% barely useful, and the reason the Hero's party kept him around as a punching bag instead of a teammate. For two years, Reed took the beatings. The stolen loot. The healer who patched his bones but never asked who broke them. Then the Hero buried him alive in a collapsing dungeon and filed him as dead.

Orphaned. Trained to fight. Raised to fear the power of Underhill. Secretly in love with a man who doesn’t want me. I’m still just Alli, aka the half-human orphan fae, but my life is looking up for the first time. It only took me my whole 24 years. But when Underhill—the ancestral home of the fae—shatters, making it impossible for any fae to enter, I’m the only one who knows who did it. A secret that will be the death of me if I do nothing. 

Being a different breed of shapeshifter—a walker—Mercy can see ghosts, but the spirit of her long-gone father has never visited her. Until now. An evil is stirring in the depths of the Columbia River—and innocent people are dying. As other walkers make their presence known to Mercy, she must reconnect with her heritage to exorcise the world of the legend known as the river devil.

Reed Altius has come a long way from the level 5 Summoner pulling wooden chairs from the junk pool. His garbage skill evolved to Mythic rank, his party includes three legendary women pulled from the sealed archives, and he just passed the Church's sanctioned Hero on the frontier rankings. Now the Church is calling him to answer for it. A formal investigation into his skill's access to sealed records. A hearing before the Fourth Circle Inquisitor.

Chosen. Framed by my father’s murderer. Running from the fae courts. Fated to never touch the man who sets my blood on fire.

The archives are alive. The Church lied. And the man they tried to bury is standing at the gate. The capital doesn't work the way the frontier did. The enemies wear titles instead of armor. The weapons are subpoenas, tribunal votes, and forged evidence planted in guild offices. And the Seneschal has spent twelve years building the kind of institutional power that a level 63 Summoner can't cut through with a blade. So Reed brings his own arsenal.

The magical tea has worn off. My eyes are wide open. And it’s with horror that I realize the fate of two realms rests on my shoulders after my mother’s ultimate sacrifice to trap Rubezahl in Underhill. Terrified humans clamoring for answers, whispered rumors from both Seelie and Unseelie, and a stepmother who seeks the throne for surprising reasons are the least of my troubles. Rubezahl has returned far sooner than I thought possible. I’m not ready. I can’t win this. And not only that… He has something crucial if we are to win. He’s taken something I cannot live without.

A jealous husband put a knife in my gut. That should’ve been the end—except it wasn’t. I wake up in Castle Dominion, the place I once ruled as a feared Castle Core… before the Light Maidens banished me to Earth a century ago. Now I've returned—and I'm out for revenge. With Lilith and Desire at my side, I begin rebuilding my deadly domain. Adventurers flock to my halls seeking glory. Some find unique treasures. Others find pain. And the truly unlucky? They find servitude.

Instead of waking up eternally doomed to burn in the pits of Hell, I awoke in the courtyard of Castle Dominion. It is my very own loving succubus, Lilith, who tells me that I was once a feared Castle Core. So terrifying in fact—that my walls were torn down and the life force in my Core banished to Earth. Now along with my beautiful succubus and Desire—the first of my new dark harem—I will rebuild myself.

My lovely girls, Desire and Lilith, sit by my feet, ready to carry out my dark commands. We watch as the butcher’s son, the old soldier and the capricious witch clash with my monsters, testing their resolve against the dark power of my castle. In the upcoming days, true adventurers–Ruby ranked wizards and Emerald ranked rogues — will test their might against me. My deadly traps wait for them, ready to drive spikes into their chests or bathe them in beautiful fire.

Preacher has agreed to escort Barnaby Cooper through Dakota Territory’s hills to establish a trading post. Accompanied by his friends Lorenzo and Tall Dog, the mountain man hopes they’ll be able to protect Cooper from Sioux warriors who don’t want any white man trespassing on their sacred grounds. But the Sioux aren’t the only hostiles staking their claim in the region.

Lilith awakens, bringing with her revelations of my forgotten past—and the looming threat of the coldhearted light maidens, who will stop at nothing to destroy my Core. To survive this time against them, I must ascend, transforming my castle into a powerful fortress to protect my devoted girls and myself. With an abundance of Corruption swirling in my Core, I expand my domain, creating formidable new sections within my stronghold. Bold adventurers arrive, eager to test their mettle against my defenders, traps, and challenges.

Meet Layla and Franklin Bishop. They're a married Los Angeles pair in their late thirties whose twelve-year relationship began like a house on fire-but now all that's left are the dying embers. When a maddening incident involving a fender bender, a gushing Hydro Flask, and their back-seated dog...

Are you ready to meet Man of the Month Tucker Holden? A beard and tattoos, plus a lifetime subscription to the wine of your choice? He's the man who's got it all—except the girl. That is, until now. What do I have in common with Tucker Holden? Nothing and yet everything. But mostly our loyalty to my older brother. Which is exactly why I’ve kept my feelings for Tucker a secret. At least until I went and drunk dialed him… and proceeded to word-vomit everything I’ve tucked away for the last however many years.
