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.

Untethered
Lucas Cadalain has spent his entire life refusing the neural implant nearly everyone else depends on. In a civilization too complex to navigate without one, that decision has condemned him to the bottom rung of society, but Lucas would rather stay a baseline than let a corporation decide what he can know, what he can become, or whether his own mind keeps working. Then a dying old man gives him an implant that shouldn’t exist. No subscription. No corporate owner. No skill ceiling. And when Lucas discovers his implant can remove the restrictions from other people’s implants too, Aethis Heavy Industries suddenly has a much bigger problem than one runaway baseline.

The Constellation
After 127 jumps toward the galactic core, the crew of the Constellation encounters something impossible: a nonhuman object hanging in space and strange signals that may be interfering with the ship’s AI. As Commander Gerald Younge investigates unusual fracture patterns in the jump coils, Dr. Hysen reveals the deeper they travel, the more the fabric of spacetime itself may be distorting around them. With the ship’s drive at risk and an unknown intelligence nearby, the crew must modify the Hysen Fold Drive before they end up stranded far from home.

Caught Between Two Hearts
Some love stories begin with a kiss. Theirs began with a crime. When Anne-Marie Scott walks home alone from night class, she never imagines that one desperate act of self-defence will pull her into the orbit of the most complicated family she has ever known. Andrew Sawyer is charming, reckless and drowning in his father's disapproval. He is a man who feels everything too deeply but hides it behind a smile. When he crosses a line he can never take back, Anne becomes the one person who makes him want to be better, the one person he refuses to lose, no matter what it costs. Vincent Sawyer saves lives for a living but keeps his own carefully locked away. He does not do emotions or distractions. He certainly doesn’t lose himself over anyone...until Anne. He does not mean to let her in, and yet, somehow, she gets past every wall he’s ever built. Two brothers. One woman. And a love triangle powerful enough to ruin a family. What follows is far from a clean love story. It is full of bad timing, worse decisions, and a love so stubborn...that even the universe, in all its cruelty, could not end it.
