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

In a world of superheroes, Jayesh Khatri is a healer who works in a hospital. When patients start arriving with feather patterns burned into their backs, Jayesh is drawn into the underworld of black market magic smuggling. But if he can take down the smugglers from the inside, it will keep his crush from fighting the formidible villain Omniscient and probably being killed.

Jesus Christ sends a resurrected Prophet to Christendom and gives him a year and a day to deliver a message and a warning to the remnants of the faithful.

Duster Fullstrike is the master of The Explosive Punch. He'll take on any dangerous job, so long as you can pay him with a secret technique.

From the mean streets of Moseley to the oceanfront villas of Diamond Beach, crime affects everyone in Avalon. And the presence of the superhumans known around the city as "specials" hasn't necessarily made life for the average citizen any better, since the local vigilantes are as apt to demand payment for their protection as they are to provide their services for free. The crime-fighting duo of King Ace and Fazer are true heroes, not vigilantes, as Fazer explains the difference to a reporter interviewing him for the Avalon Sentinel. A hero doesn't expect thanks or payment, he helps people because it is the right thing to do. And a hero doesn't kill anyone, ever. All Fazer and the big guy are trying to do is make everyday life better for everyone who lives in their city. But even heroes face temptation.

Co-created by Chuck Dixon and Frank Fosco. Thirty years after an alien invasion brings mankind to the brink of extinction, one man realizes there's still a buck to be made. Larry Dorfman can't save mankind from alien conquerors, But he can take them for a bundle. Crime doesn't stop for the apocalypse. You can't keep a bad man down. Larry Dorfman's looking at the biggest score of his criminal career; a fortune in gold at the heart of an alien hive. Alien invaders have stolen our planet, Larry Dorfman just wants his cut.

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.
