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.

Angels Sing Thee to thy Rest
Angels Sing Thee to Thy Rest: A Legionnaire’s Tale follows Thomas York, an Englishman who leaves behind a life he would rather forget and enlists in the French Foreign Legion in the 1880s. From the brutal training grounds of North Africa to the long voyage east, Thomas is thrown together with men who have also chosen anonymity over the lives they once knew. Among them are Marcel, an enormous Russian with a hidden past, and Bartoli, a volatile Sardinian whose humour, temper and skill with a knife make him as dangerous to his comrades as he is to the enemy. Their destination is Tonkin. France is expanding its influence in northern Vietnam, but the campaign is far from a simple colonial conquest. Chinese forces, Black Flag fighters and local resistance confront the French as armies struggle through flooded rice fields, jungle, fortified towns and river valleys. At Sơn Tây, Bắc Ninh and across the Tonkin countryside, Thomas discovers that courage has little to do with glory and everything to do with the man standing beside you when the shooting starts. As comrades fall and the Legion strips away what remains of the man he once was, Thomas must decide whether the Legion has given him somewhere to hide—or somewhere finally to belong. A story of friendship, loss, loyalty and survival amid one of France’s forgotten colonial wars.

Mia Is Mine
Mia ran from one monster. Leaving behind the glittering world of the Hamptons, she escapes the man who taught her that love could become a cage. Greg isn't the kind of man who accepts rejection—and she knows it's only a matter of time before he comes looking for her. With nothing but a suitcase and shattered trust, Mia flees to South Korea, where her best friend, Dal-Mi, offers her a chance to start over. But fate has other plans. When Mia crosses paths with the enigmatic Min-ho, she's convinced she's found another predator hiding behind a handsome face. Cold, possessive, and impossible to ignore, he offers her protection... but every instinct tells her to run. Is Min-ho another monster waiting to claim her? Or is he the only man capable of saving her from the one who refuses to let her go? Some monsters wear smiles. Others call you mine.

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."
