What if life was the adventure? Rose has always wanted to be a bard. A musician who inspires emotions by infusing her song with just a thread of magic. The course seems clear. Attend Bardic College in Splendor, the biggest city in the Realm, and graduate their four-year course. It seems easy enough. Along the way to Splendor, Rose meets Bosra, a grey-skinned giant-kin woman who is leaving her adventuring days behind her. Most adventurers don't retire. They either die as heroes or become villains. She intends to enjoy the fortune she's made in the most luxurious place she knows, the city of Splendor. Valentina, princess, contemplates whether there is more to life than what she is accustomed to, when Bosra and Rose find respite to the coffee shop she spends her free afternoons at. One conversation leads to another, and before she knows it, she's encouraged to step out of her gilded cage. Until those who built the cage come to drag her back. A cozy fantasy story.

Ben Garrison was sick of banker bailouts, political corruption and vanishing freedom. He decided to do something. He published his political cartoons on the Internet where they were seen by millions. Then came a legion of trolls on a twisted mission to destroy his reputation and silence him. These are the comics they tried to disappear....

有人——或者什么东西——正在消灭芝加哥的犯罪头目。联邦调查局代理法官正在调查此案。她是一个超人，有能力看到过去。但即使她有能力看到发生了什么，也无法解释不可能的事情。联邦调查局并不是唯一一个有兴趣了解更多关于城里新玩家的机构。在寻找对芝加哥犯罪领主造成严重破坏的神秘杀手的过程中，联邦调查局代理法官和芝加哥警察局侦探卡拉汉发现了杀手的下一个目标，却发现自己面对的是一个比人类更无情、更无情的生物.

克洛伊·安德森（Chloe Anderson）白天是一名物理系学生，是一个勤奋、聪明的女孩，她和她的疯狂科学家教授关系密切，并作为助教与他一起工作。 她也是一个超级英雄，元女孩。 约翰尼·本维努蒂（Johnny Benvinutti）来自一个知名的意大利犯罪家族，最近他发现自己有能力用手发射闪电。他经营着一家咖啡店的门面生意。当他们两个相遇时，《火花》在多个层面上飞溅。但他们能在保持关系的同时对彼此保密吗？

Bohdan Blood was a busy young man. Being the President of the AH&L Committee in the middle of World War Three did that, but now rumors of witchcraft and Cartel incursions around his Ozark home were making things downright unhealthy. Together with his wily friends Bohdan and company will dodge drafts, hunt cryptids, and burn witches in style to keep their neck of the woods from looking like a New York hellscape. Just another day for the Adventure, Hunting, and Liquidation Committee.

On the run from their past, swordsmen Raedrick Baletier and Julian Hinderbrook search for a place of refuge where they can start over. That search sends them through a remote mountain valley called Glimmer Vale, where unbeknownst to them, dark forces threaten the population’s lives and fortunes. With their hopes of quiet passage through the Vale dashed, and facing a deadly conflict against overwhelming odds, Raedrick and Julian will need all of their wit, courage, and skill just to survive, let alone prevail. Fans of sword and sorcery will enjoy this fast-paced tale of redemption set in a world of valor and magic. Glimmer Vale is the first book in the ongoing Glimmer Vale Chronicles heroic fantasy series. Fans can purchase the book directly from the author or through any of the online retailers: https://ssnstorytelling.com/product/glimmer-vale/ https://books2read.com/glimmervale

新日历八四六六年。在一场全球金融灾难之后，吸血鬼族在二千六百多年来首次走出阴影，向一个毫无戒心的人类揭示存在。吸血鬼有效控制了媒体、各国政府、全球金融体系和主要国际机构。人类无力抵抗他们的权力。 但从中世纪的十字军命令中汲取灵感，十二个人联合起来，组成了一个新的军事命令，即迈克尔骑士团和罗马地下墓穴骑士团。迈克尔骑士团除了他们的毅力和对敌人有害的鲜血外，几乎没有别的武器，他们与午夜世界的吸血鬼领主展开了一场苛刻的战争。

Bob Moran is a multi-award winning British illustrator and cartoonist. His work deals with themes of politics, ethics and family. He uses emotion to convey important messages, defend moral principles and to invite people to reflect on what really matters in life. Between 2011 and 2021, Bob was political cartoonist for The Daily Telegraph. During this time, he established himself as one of the most revered and popular satirists in the UK. In January 2022 Bob began working for The Democracy Fund, a Canadian charity that defends and promotes civil liberties and constitutional rights. During a very dark period for humanity, Bob seeks to create powerful imagery that brings hope and reassurance to the oppressed, in defiance of their oppressors. At a time when so many appear to have forgotten the things that give life meaning, he is determined to help them remember.
