Bradley receives a second chance on a steampunk planet. The wondrous sights captivate, the gizmos fascinate, and it is all possible with steam. His foes close in, his ally goes missing, and Bradley must adapt to win the day.

A few weeks ago, I was just a plumber. Now, I’m the husband of two insanely gorgeous, magical princesses, and I’m apparently also the hero of legend. So, even though evil minions and bastards keep trying to kill me, I can’t complain too much, especially since I’m supposed to marry more princesses, bind them to me in a kinky ritual, and become their master...starting with a shy but sexy as hell mermaid.

Things are definitely awesome under the sea. Not only have I added a mermaid wife to my harem, but my reputation as the Hero of Legend keeps growing as I continue to kick a--. Now, I’ve set my sights on Eudora, the sea witch who has terrorized the merpeople. And that hag is going down.

Sarah Wright has experienced no shortage of stressful situations since becoming a vampire, but she’s about to face the most terrifying one yet - being the adult in the room. Nine months into undeath, Sarah’s found her stride. She’s comfortable in her fangs, managing family and school, and relatively content. Treating her parents to a weeklong vacation in Iceland sounded like an awesome idea back in December, but the reality of being responsible for her siblings while they’re away is terrifying.

Ever since I discovered that I can kill magical creatures, trap their souls in precious gems, and use them to cast spells of my own, I haven’t had a moment’s rest. I have to balance my academics with learning how to use my powers and capture more souls in more gems to grow my spell collection. All the while avoiding angry aristocrats, nosy professors, criminal mobsters, and evil dwarves bent on destroying the civilized kingdoms. Luckily, I have some handy magic, a super awesome foxgirl and the hottest elven girl in school by my side, so nothing can stop me.

Nothing has complicated Sarah Wright’s life as much as losing it. Discovering vampires and other supernatural creatures are real took the sting out of being murdered by her ex-boyfriend. She’s enjoying her new reality, even if taking a knife to the heart was the sanest thing to happen to her since. Not quite a year into being an immortal, Sarah’s embraced the supernatural world hidden beneath the veneer of modern society.

Sarah Wright has a job to die for. She never asked for it, never even filled out an application. To be fair, she didn’t ask to die either. Ever since she woke up as a vampire, she only wanted to unlive in as ordinary a way as possible. Alas, the realities of undeath and awakening to the greater existence of the supernatural made certain demands of the family. Now Sarah runs errands for the vampire boss of Seattle. It isn’t such a bad gig when she’s not being shot at, chased, clawed up, thrown around, or scrambling to keep her family safe.

Is it just me? Or are all relationships complicated? I feel a little bit like it might just be me. Because I seem to be the common denominator in every one of my f--ked-up relationships. The only relationship I have that’s not f--ked up is with my octogenarian sidekick, Al. Although even his loyalty has come into question a time or two - like when he tried to turn in his two-weeks' notice and I was forced to remind him that he can’t quit a job he doesn’t have. And even if he could, then he wouldn’t get to hang out with me anymore.

As a mercenary with no Divine Core, Xin Sang is resigned to a life of grunt work, fighting the lesser fiends like wyrmspawn that are far beneath the notice of the mighty Ascendants. But when an Archfiend—an Ebon Wyrm—appears and threatens to annihilate his mercenary crew, Xin must rise above his limitations and show them why he's the best. And why he's been running and hiding for so long.

The arsenal of guns that I can summon has grown along with the number of my allies, and we have managed to outrun the pursuing mages for the time being. Unfortunately, to get away from them we had to go places they won’t: mutant infested wilderness, forgotten towns filled with strange religious cults, and even more dangerous locales. So we still have plenty of problems, but as I’m learning, there aren’t many problems that can survive a bullet to the head.

When they find their cheating husbands plotting against them, Freesia Hollister and her friend Iris Simmons' lives implode. Receiving unexpected help from two Special Force veterans traveling in a motorhome, the four begin a suspenseful adventure in Rocky Mountain National Park. But trouble soon follows.

The apocalypse continues! And Trace Taylor doesn't know what she should do. A war between worlds seems inevitable, and Liberapolis is not prepared to fend off monster attacks, let alone the end of the world. With Ex just as clueless as she is, the redhead decides to confide with her best friend, Elizabeth Evergreen. Will the two young women be enough to stave off an alien invasion?

It started with the insects. Before society realized the danger, the Earth had inexorably begun a transformation into a place where life could not survive. A small group found shelter in the Arc, an underground refuge safe from the toxins ravaging the surface. After centuries of darkness, humanity’s second chance is running out - and Raven Wilder knows it. Her job fixing the machinery in the Arc makes her aware of how close everything is to breaking down. When her six-year-old begins showing signs of oxygen deprivation, Raven refuses to go quietly into oblivion.

Have you ever met someone whose entire life mission was to get under your skin? A high school bully, perhaps? A work colleague that just can't buy a f--king clue? Your shithead next door neighbor who revs his engine at all hours of the night? Now imagine, for a moment, that pain in the ass follows you to your new home on a Caribbean island and continues to poke and poke and poke until you fucking explode. You'd wanna retaliate, right?

The world isn't what it used to be after the first apocalypse. Scourge roam the desolate wasteland, preying on whoever dares set foot outside the few remaining Megapolis. While enforcing tax from the local province, Raiden and the Mercenary Union's cultivator team come face to face with the latest the Scourge could throw at them: monstrosities far beyond their capabilities. Surviving an onslaught they shouldn't have, the small group manages to find their way home, only to get caught up in a decades-old political play for power.

Have you ever had a rash? I’m talking one of the bad rashes. You know, the crusty kind that ooze puss and fester under the surface of your skin? The kind you gotta see a doctor for. Well, I’ve got a rash. It’s a bad one. And her name is Erika Wild. I’ve been told I can’t pick at my rash. I can’t cuss at either.

The Great West stretched on endlessly, and it was filled with pioneer mining towns, magic, and opportunity. But it was also filled with brigands, monsters, and the unknown. Fortunately, I was around to protect people. For a price, that is.

Bodyguarding two beautiful twins on their journey to a poker tournament wasn’t my normal type of work as a wandering Sellsword, but the pay is good and the ladies weren’t hard on the eyes. But as I quickly learned, there was more than meets the eye to these twins, and trouble follows them everywhere. What should be a simple excursion is very likely to end in a blood bath, and it would take all my skills to make sure none of it was mine.

Ruling over the island and their capital city should have been an easy job: one where they would have eyes on the back of their heads, as not all problems were resolved with the Orthodox. But when a certain young woman comes into Raiden's life, nothing will ever be the same. Not for him, and not for his girls. Thrust into a situation where Rai finds himself between a rock and a hard place, he has to come to terms both with himself, his wives, his twins, and everything life had offered him - both the good and the bad.
