Out on the frontier of a new continent, the wizard Lori and her group of settlers try to build a community in a land actively hostile to intelligent life. With their wits, their will, and their newly built Dungeon to protect them against the Iridescence — the deadly growth that makes life inhospitable beyond the borders of their demesne — they should be fine. If they can survive the lack of infrastructure. And the deadly beasts they need to hunt for food. And idiots who don't understand what settling somewhere actually entails. And dragons. Using structural engineering, the scientific method, logistics, and the dark art of personnel management, Lori and her newly dubbed lord Rian must solve the persistent problems of shelter, sanitation, food storage, and keeping the colonists from making terrible decisions.

Trapped in a hellish time loop of death and suffering, he fights waves of demons in an impossible challenge of skill, creativity, and perseverance. What will happen when he finally returns — oblivious to the apocalypse he has become, unaware of the horrors he dragged back with him?

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.

Some monsters are born. Others are chosen. Mirela was meant to be a saint, but her birth was cursed.

A bloodmage born in shadows, a shapeshifter no one can predict, a survivor in a world set against him. Thalion's life as a marine biologist was modest in wealth but rich in joy — until the System arrived, sending everyone on Earth into a tutorial while merging the planet with four others.

Raika used to be a cultivator — living in a sect, fighting in tournaments, defying the heavens as cultivators do. She was never the strongest or wisest, but she never gave up and always stood by her ideals. Then an Imperial Cultivator destroyed her soul organs and left her crippled. In a world ruled by a millennia-old Emperor and his Blades, where enslaved Daemons serve as weapons of mass destruction and eldritch entities roam at the edges of reality, Raika is now less than worthless.

A man running from his past joins the game to forget it all — calling himself Jack Thorn, he chooses an undead race: Deathlord. A mage by choice and a swordsman by necessity, he soon finds out he'll need much more than magic and steel to survive.

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.

However, a rash of poisonings among the noble heirs makes her behind-the-scenes role impossible. Elements of a life she wanted to leave behind keep resurfacing, and soon she'll find herself at the center of a web of intrigue — figure out the web, or be trapped by it forever.

Real Fantasy Online is the flagship product for the latest generation of neural-interface headsets, promising total immersion and the best NPC AIs ever created. But when the line between one's real self and one's digital identity becomes blurred, and the gods have their own agenda, who is the player and which is the game? Marcus has played any number of VR games and beta-tested dangerous systems. He usually disdains pre-order perks, but this time the bonus — the ability to craft your character's backstory and have it integrated into the game's lore — is too tempting to pass up. He opts to make a character purely for fun, with no interest in being all-powerful. Things aren't quite what they seem, however, and his backstory and character class have implications he never would have imagined.

It's Drop Night, the one night every decade when the gods hand out cards to a lucky few. If you get a deck, you're a deckbearer capable of great feats — such as controlling frightening monsters. Wolfe, top enforcer for the Grimm family mob, has already been overlooked on two previous Drop Nights. People of his ilk seldom receive cards, as the gods tend to favor those who follow divine mandates. Against all odds, though, Wolfe does receive a deck at midnight — including a rare card everyone would kill to have. With the rival street gang the Cobras fielding six deckbearers and cutting into the Grimm family's trade, someone has to do the dirty work. And it isn't going to be the spoiled children of Big Man Grimm.
