The Mana Engineer
Eric Elwyn thought he was just another overworked husband and father, driving home after a long day. Then the sky tore open and dragged him into another world. Rebuilt from the soul-thread itself, Eric wakes as an Outworlder — a rare race with higher than average stats, a lightning affinity almost no one has, and a profession tailored to his nature: Artificer. In a world where affinities define power and trust is rarer than gold, Eric finds himself bound to Welyvyne, a sharp-witted lowlander elf with her own scars and ambitions. Together, they’re outsiders in the Arcanum — the most prestigious magical academy in the realm — where every whispered rumor can ruin reputations, and every misstep can mean death. Eric quickly learns that his power makes him a target, his inventions make him dangerous, and his bond with Welyvyne makes them both infamous. But Eric isn’t here to play the prodigy. He’s here to build — to bend magic into tools, weapons, and wonders the world has never seen. If he can survive politics, professors, and the ever-growing shadow of those who want his power, he just might craft more than artifacts. He might craft a way to bring his family there.

The Gryphon Riders
In the futuristic country called "The Unification", Individual freedom is absolute, responsibility is optional, and common sense is dangerously outdated. Governed by the idealistic Rowan Sinclair and guided by an artificial intelligence called Your Conscience, society has descended into chaos. Criminals enjoy protection, essential services collapse, and every government solution creates another disaster. Education is about learning the 650 genders, working is voluntary, police and army have been disbanded and the courts have closed down As law and order disintegrate, former police officers form The Gryphon Riders, an underground resistance determined to restore justice and accountability. But challenging the government means confronting the powerful intelligence controlling it. As revolution approaches, one question remains: Can humanity save itself from a system it created to save humanity? The Gryphon Riders "We Shall Not Be Governed by Conscience Without Reason."

The Haunting Of The Sixth Footprint
Five friends. A broken car. And a ghost who won't let them leave. Hazel, Xavier, Chloe, Lucas, and Ethan have been best friends since high school. Ten days before Lucas and Chloe's wedding, they all meet up at a new restaurant to celebrate. But on the drive home, a strange storm hits the forest. Tree branches crash onto the road, their tires blow out, and they are left stuck in the dark woods. They find shelter at a large, luxury villa nearby. The owner is Vivienne Sterling. To most of the group, she seems like a rich stranger. But to Ethan, she is the girl he has been secretly in love with and searching for over the last ten years. But they are not safe inside the house. When they check the security cameras, they see six sets of muddy footprints coming inside-but there are only five friends. Something evil followed them from the forest. A girl from their past is back, and she wants revenge. The friends must stick together and survive until morning. To save everyone, Ethan will have to risk his life for the girl who has been secretly protecting him for years.
