Secrets once thought lost are coming to light. Orin, a young thief turned mercenary, returns home for the first time in four years wanting nothing more than to reconnect with his family and settle down. But fate has another destiny in mind. Now bound to the Princess of the Realm in ways he doesn't fully understand, Orin is thrust into the world of nobility — where no one can be truly trusted and his friends are few. To survive, and to protect the entire Kingdom, he must learn to harness the power of a Knight alongside Princess Elora, all while contending with psychotic Knights and a mad King.

A powerless man, thrown about by a world he had no say in and unable to change his circumstances, is reborn as a newborn dragon with the potential to finally be truly free. Escaped from the grasp of higher powers and not keen to be another cog in the machine, he uses his cumulative knowledge and new talents to survive and carve his own path. Misfortune still follows him, however. Higher beings are keen on interfering with his existence, his own instincts and impulses as a dragon contradict his human mind, and old problems he thought he had left behind come back to haunt him. This is a story of exploring identity, the self, and the world — with a complex magic system and an unhinged, scientific approach to studying it.

Charlie Gault had all the luck — unfortunately, none of it was good. When a freak wormhole swallows his spacecraft and leaves him stranded on an unknown planet far from home, Charlie must stop complaining and step up to save his crew. That was when things really went sideways. Suddenly facing alien space pirates, talking dragons, and something very much like magic, the space engineer from Earth finds himself adrift in a whole new galaxy — and Lady Luck shows no signs of changing her attitude toward him.

Another death, another world, another chance to live a peaceful life. All he wants is to practice magic and go fishing. A pleasant, quiet existence nobody should complain about.

Who has time for all of that when there are books to read and a lunker trout hiding in the river?

My name is Jain Shin Hallow, and I eat lunch in the school bathroom. I'm in my senior year at Charter Academy, finished with my SATs, filling out college applications, living in a one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan with my dad. I've been bullied all my life, mostly for not knowing when to shut up. Oh. It also turns out I'm the last of the Hallow Diabolists and the Shin Shamans. Pacts and bargains, ghosts, haunted amusement parks, mass graves, rooms that lead to other places, yokais and daevils — just another Friday. My name is Jain Shin Hallow, and I'm the last Diabolist of New York.

Dungeons are an integral part of so many stories and worlds — the foundation of an economy, a place for the weak to grow strong, or a threat to civilization itself. Nearly as common as the idea of a dungeon is the concept of a dungeon core. But where did dungeon cores first come from? Are they a natural occurrence? When did they first appear? This is the story of the first dungeon core.

As the daughter of a duke, Lady Alicia Senius expected to awaken her latent magical ability during her Blooming ceremony. She was not expecting her connection to the flowers of Fate to awaken memories of a past life — and certainly not memories inextricably tied with her future. Now, Alicia must find a way to escape the fatal punishment that is the destiny of a villainous noble girl. In doing so, she might even alter the fate of the whole world. A steampunk take on the otome villainess genre, set in a late Victorian-inspired world with a system of magic based around floral circuitry.

And will they even survive the journey to find out if Paradise is real?

A Journey in Darkness is the story of a human girl who finds herself displaced far from home, in a new world filled with wonders to discover and perils to overcome. Waking up in a cave in her pajamas will only be the start of her problems. The world she finds herself in is not so black and white, and she will have to grow and find her own way despite the hardships she encounters — no overwhelming power, just a normal person navigating somewhere strange and dangerous.

Twelve souls were chosen to expand into the void surrounding the known universes and given a grace period to grow their domains in relative safety. Once that period ends, they are free to interact with each other—and with whatever lurks in the depths of the Abyss, the Void, and the Primordial Chaos. One of those souls navigates the overwhelming demands of divine stewardship: raising mortals into an immortal army, managing squabbling children, and maintaining the balance between all realms of existence. Being a deity, it turns out, is incredibly complicated.

Veron was fed up with his corporate job in Paris. He quit and moved to the countryside to take a breath and reconsider his path. When he spots a hazy glowing bird of light in the forest and decides to follow it, he receives an offer unlike anything he could have imagined — not a demon king to slay, no rebellion to lead, nor gods looking for a pawn. Simply an adventure. Sent to Renavor, a mountainous valley on the brink of change, Veron arrives alone with magic he is only beginning to wield. Ancient dungeon relics are being unearthed, and beasts of blood and chaos lurk in the dark. Shelter comes first — and then he can figure out the rest.

Rebecca of Caroline, known to her family as "Beks", spent two decades preparing to become a tool for the kingdom as the Queen's foster daughter and as the child destined to bring the kingdom to prosperity. Twenty years of meticulous planning begin to falter after the Queen dies and the role she has been prepared for starts to slip away. Bound by a deathbed promise to ensure the kingdom's stability at any personal cost, Rebecca finds her oath increasingly difficult to keep.

If she's going to fulfill her promise, she may just have to retake the kingdom — but first, she needs to survive.

"I am legally required to inform you that she is a Perfectly Normal Elf," the devil said. Rania Mortal would have told you that herself. She's never been sure why her normalcy is subject to debate. Sure, she knows very little about how society works, treats a painted pebble as a treasured companion, and bases an alarming number of decisions on what would look coolest in a book — but she has perfectly logical explanations for all of those things. Her fellow adventurers agree she is probably just eccentric. Perfectly ordinary behavior for a shaman. Unfortunately for everyone involved, the god of stories has taken a personal interest in their mission, and Rania is certainly not helping on that front.

Cassian Rosier is a near-Squib from one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight families — the family's punching bag, mocked and barely tolerated. When a simple light spell becomes his last chance to prove himself, his world shatters: the Cassian they knew is gone, replaced by a man from our world with no magic but a lifetime of teaching behind him, and only the vaguest memories of a "Harry Potter" series he never bothered to read. Trapped in a ruined reputation with no real power, the new Cassian has one goal: survive. When forced to lecture on magic, he bluffs his way through by teaching Lumos — a spell he doesn't know. Something strange happens: as hundreds of students learn from his lecture, mastery floods his mind. Ancient variations awaken, along with memories that don't belong to him — some illuminating forgotten magic, others sharp, dark, and dangerous. Sent to Hogwarts as a professor, Cassian must juggle pureblood family expectations, faculty suspicion, and a power that grows every time he teaches — while wondering whether he is drawing on ancient wisdom or inviting something far worse into himself.

Nic Tutt is a good student. He excels at all subjects. But his education serves only one purpose — to gain entry into the Ransom School. Ransom is the most prestigious school in the country. Its alumni are destined to become the future leaders of Ranvar: politicians, statesmen, and in some exceptional cases, mages. Only the brightest and the best get in. But Nic doesn't care about any of that. He has another reason entirely for wanting to enter Ranvar's most famous school.

A powerful sorcerer and shapeshifter — known for operating on the darker side of things — attempts a ritual to travel back in time and save his world. The ritual goes wrong, sending him further into the past than intended and into an alternate history: the year 1909 in the Russian Empire. Stuck in the body of a skinny teenage boy, with no friends, no money, and no title, he must rebuild his abilities in a world ruled by magical aristocrats, where all manner of evil spirits and ghouls crawl out of Breaches in reality and spill into the streets of St. Petersburg.

Peabo Smith is a former Special Forces soldier who volunteers to participate in a science experiment run by STAG — the Special Technologies Analysis Group — that rivals the audacity of the moon landing.

Thrown into an entirely new world, Yaric must push himself to catch up with his new peers at the academy, learning the secrets of combat, weapons, and magic. But mysteries run deeper than his training: the secrets of the academy, a missing ambassador, hidden dragons, and empires marching to war have all been buried in an abyss so deep they should never be found. Yaric grew up in the abyss. And as his new world gets dragged down by its secrets, he is forced to plunge back in.
