Magic came to our world. Portals opened across the planet, releasing mana and dangerous monsters on the unsuspecting population. Wonder turned to horror. Society teetered on the brink of collapse until heroes rose to face the catastrophe — men and women who wielded mana to enter portal worlds, plundering their treasures and slaying beasts that bullets barely harmed. That was more than sixty years ago.
Nestra was born without a core. In the new city of Threshold, baseline humans like her are being forced out of law enforcement. MaxSec is one of their last holdouts, and Nestra is one of its last members — but it cannot last. With Nestra addicted to mana and her job one of the only chances at getting close to portals, she is heading for disaster.
Threshold is a city dominated by corporations and powerful users. It takes very little to become collateral damage — unless Nestra can finally figure out what's wrong with her.

The story of a semi-benevolent dragon who occasionally does the right thing for the wrong reasons.
Protecting villagers from marauding soldiers? Of course — they can't give tribute if they're dead or their crops are on fire. Destroying a tyrannical kingdom? Absolutely — they have treasure that could be his treasure.
A comedy about a dragon whose self-interest and morality are more aligned than he'd like to admit.

When a threat he doesn't fully comprehend bares its teeth, Cal is determined to survive at any cost.

Magic was chaos. Now it's chemistry. Through Stoichiomancy, power is measured, quantified, and controlled. Ascension follows a strict ladder, each tier with a fixed number of sanctioned seats. There are no anomalies — until Arielle Blacksoil.
Born to a bloodline without magic, Arielle should have been invisible to the system. Instead, an accident reveals the impossible: she's an unsanctioned archmage. If discovered, they'll strip her power or turn her into a weapon.
To survive, Arielle enrolls in the Academy and pretends to climb the ranks while hiding magic that eclipses her professors. For the first time in her life she has rivals, teammates — maybe even friends. But hiding overwhelming power isn't easy, and soon she's embroiled in faction conflict, foiling villainous plots, and hunting a mysterious primordial that lurks in the dark.

Saphienne lived the idyllic life of an elf in the woodlands — eternal joy her birthright, the supremacy of elven magic her inheritance.

Her pursuit of a wizarding apprenticeship set her against both magical and moral challenges. Saphienne grew into a formidable woman — and when the flames subsided, the elves struck her name from history. A heartwarming and heartbreaking fantasy about rejection and belonging, power and consequence, and the cost of being oneself.
