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.

What would you do if two angry bears came pounding on your door, demanding that you hurry out to meet them? That's the dilemma for Bovodar Yarkery, who is confronted one day with a gathering of bears who wish to carry him off on their grand adventure. Across hazardous deserts, through caverns, and far up through the forests into the cold North, there stands Kalas Hall, home of an evil polar bear lord, King Valemod. The path is long, perilous, and uncertain, but if Bovodar & the Bears succeed in their mission, untold glory and riches can be theirs... but only if they can overcome the dangers that await them. Written by Jack Mikkelson and illustrated by Mary MacArthur.

The independent planet of Rhysalan provides Sanctuary to 1,462 governments-in-exile. It is the responsibility of the Xenocriminology and Alien Relations department of the Military Crimes Investigation Division to keep a firm leash on the hundreds of thousands of xenos residing on-planet. Assassinations, revolutions, civil wars, and attempted planetary genocides are all in a day's work for Chief Warrant Officer Graven Tower, MCID-XAR. In addition to a missile-armed aerovar, his trusty Sphinx CPB-18, and MCID's extremely liberal policies concerning collateral damage and civilian casualties, Chief Tower is assisted by his extreme xenophobia as well as a military-grade augmented machine intelligence that believes it has found God. QUANTUM MORTIS is an action-packed Mil-SF mystery series.

Technically it's only kidnapping if she tries to leave.

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....

The trials and travails of Davos, the Doom Lord, who faces the daunting challenge of how to keep himself occupied after successfully conquering the whole of Metal Earth, subjugating all his enemies, and establishing himself as The Sum of All Terror.

Betrayal. Brotherhood. Romance. To the half-fae Asgradi, loyalty is the chieftain of virtues. When the unthinkable happens and his own council betrays him, High Thane Witheric responds with the even more unthinkable: seeking help from the inferior race of humankind. With only his closest friend and right hand man, his Thanesman Restag, at his side, Thane and Thanesman risk the coming winter, the monsters of their wild Northlands, and their own people’s blood wars, racing south for sanctuary. Will they reach help or fall to their brutal lands? And if they do survive, what future awaits them in the human-ruled south? Find out in the first book in The Thanesman Chronicles.
