The Mana Engineer

by David Pope

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.

Lilith

by Medina Oktaviana

Lilith Ashford was a name you'd easily hear in the hospital hallways but you wouldn't spot her easily until you were keen enough. She was usually in the spotlight yet not clearly seen. No one concentrated enough on her until a new medic is hired and he begins showing up everywhere she is. They say that he's cold and aloof, always minding his business and rarely interacting with the other staff but why does he keep trying to help everytime Lilith finds herself in a fix? ✪ ✪ ✪ "My eyes," for a moment, my hands stopped shaking and my attention instantly shifted to him. "Look into them when you get too overwhelmed," He uttered softly as he held the tiny palm of my hand against his. I followed the pattern of his breathing, firmly grasping onto his hand and the edge of his white coat as the lift went up to the fortieth floor. Not once did my eyes deter from his.

Before The Sunset

by Maryjane Chiedozi

Alya has always felt different. Mocked for how she looks and branded a freak for her strange abilities, she's learned to live as an outcast. When a surge of unexplainable power rips through her classroom and a mysterious boy named Jayden appears in her life, the strange abilities she's spent years hiding become the key to a realm beyond her imagination. He's protective, kind, and infuriatingly charming, but there's something about him that doesn't quite add up... something almost as strange as she is. Driven by Jayden's push and the pull of her own unanswered questions, Alya sets out to find the mother she thought had abandoned her and discovers a whole hidden world with people like her, and a family who's been waiting for her. But her arrival awakens an ancient darkness. A Rot that has waited a thousand years for the extraordinary power within her. To protect the family she has just found and save all life under the moon, Alya must journey alongside a blunt, ice-gliding elf and her cousins to master her powers, before the darkness finds her. Before the Sunset is Book One of the Children of the Tide series: a fantasy tale of love, loss, self-discovery, and the courage to embrace who you truly are... against all odds.

The Haunting Of The Sixth Footprint

by Thurán Writes

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.

Static to Production

by Victor O. Ojeje

This book takes you from an empty AWS account to a secured, automated website deployment, built from the author's own working project. You provision a private S3 bucket and a CloudFront distribution with Terraform, then deploy with GitHub Actions using OIDC, so no AWS access keys are stored anywhere. Each chapter introduces the on-prem concept first, then the AWS service that implements it, then a build you can reproduce on a free-tier account. Where the original code uses a pattern the author would now change, an Author's Note shows the better approach. You also learn to diagram before you build, document what you did, and use AI tools to explain errors without trusting their output blindly. It is written for people entering cloud and DevOps work who want to build something real and understand why it works. No application coding or prior cloud experience is needed. It is not exam prep, and it does not survey every AWS service. It teaches one complete system in depth.
