The WarMage of Arkley

Alex Savage

The WarMage of Arkley #1

After years on the run across the multiverse, I'd genuinely hoped the quiet coastal town of Arkley would be the perfect place to finally settle down. I just wanted somewhere to take it easy on the morning school run, to pile the marshmallows dangerously high into the hot chocolate, and to enjoy a few high-stakes games of Keepy Uppy with my daughter, Edie. Oh, and being able to keep my Supremacy-grade magic strictly hidden away in a box wouldn't go amiss either. But the powers-that-be had to go and make life complicated, didn't they? You see, it turns out our new backyard sits right on top of a dimensional tear. Now we've got Abyssal monsters interrupting our playtime, and a System interface constantly nagging me to bring the sky-burning thunder. Again. It’s all a bit of a hassle, to be honest. But I guess someone has to keep the neighborhood standing. And with a heavily armed government operative masquerading as my daughter’s teacher, and a shapeshifting bear who bakes a brilliant scone on my side, I'm sure we’ll get it sorted. Hopefully, before the world ends. Or the HOA fines me for the state of my lawn.

Small Town Fantasies: A Slice of Life Urban Fantasy

Dax Hunter

Small Town Fantasies #1

He was expecting boring paperwork, not fox shifters and elves. When Asher Richardson learned that his company was facing layoffs, he never imagined he would accept a transfer, let alone move to a small town like Rockpool Cove. Hey, there are worse things than seeing beautiful women in bikinis every day. And there’s even a local MMA dojo where he can continue with his favorite hobby. But his new branch of Westbreak Digital Solutions is hiding supernatural secrets, and he’s somehow caught the eye of two incredible women—Mia, the captivating fox shifter, and Vanya, a stunning elf. Just when life couldn’t get better, everything changes at his MMA gym. A rival fighter deliberately injures his friend during a sparring session, and now Asher’s being asked to step into the ring for revenge—and a shot at the fighting career he thought was over.

Aetherborn: A Paranormal Urban Fantasy Romance with Forced Proximity, Reluctant Allies, and Slow-Burn Heat

Jason Marino

Aetherborn #1

Just a warlock. Standing in front of a demon girl. Wondering how to avoid her. Untenured philosophy lecturer with a side gig owning a bar—it doesn’t shout chaos, does it? I liked hiding. With powers as weak as mine, staying under the radar just made sense. One wrong fight in my bar, and magic I didn’t even know I had kicked in, bonding me to Kara—a not-a-succubus demon with a fast whip, faster tongue, and zero interest in me. The feeling’s mutual. Turns out our little accident set off a supernatural chain reaction and brought half the city’s power players down on us. Now we’re stuck with each other. Hunted by factions eager to exploit us—or erase us. I didn’t ask for this, and neither did she. But the truth of what binds us will shake the world—it’s already put a target on our backs. It’s not love. It’s survival. With attitude.

Battlemaster's Gambit: A LitRPG Adventure

Nathan Pierce

Tournion #1

Resurrected to dominate or die again? Andric was much like anyone else, further along in his life than he wanted to be. Much further along, and waiting to finally become the main character of his own story. Fate had a funny joke for him, though. He died. Unexpectedly he was given the strangest of plot developments. He resurrected in what seemed to be a GACHA game Being given another chance on another world. One where he could redefine himself, starting with an unknown class of all things. Andric can only roll with it since there really isn’t any other choice. It’s time to start again and this time he’ll have to get risky, take chances, and let luck play a part. Regardless if it’s good or bad. First up for that new life motto is his class and he’s definitely taking a risk. Unknowingly, he’s given up on a typical RGP character development in favor of an unconventional class where his powers hinge on the luck of the draw. Disclaimer: This book contains copious amounts of sex, violence, cursing, and stats. There are strange cultures in a fantasy land that have very murky morals and do not adhere to any kind of human ideal of decency. This book also contains unconventional relationships and questionable moral choices.
