Ever found yourself dropped into a room where everything is trying to kill you, only to escape into the streets of Boston and have the first person you meet turn out to be a reverse cyborg? My name is Claire Jemima Stevens, and this is just one of those days. I'm not sure who I am or how I got here, but that's going to change. I have a name, a recording of the man who stole my life, and the memory of a boy with a kind, jagged face.

Nadon-Kesh grows up like any other child abandoned to the Saget riverbank, but his life takes a dangerous turn when the Supremacy, the tyrannical force enslaving the realm, drives him from his home. Thrust into the dangerous world beyond the riverbank alongside his closest friends, Nadon learns of his place in an age-old conflict that may change the face of the land forever.

So I think it's safe to say that it's been a crazy few days. Waking up with no memory, meeting an eccentric robot-human hybrid intent on helping me find answers, discovering that I was part of a secret organization that wants to bring the whole planet under heel through controlled terrorism... It's a bit to take in. But now I get to fight back, and if I'm going to have any chance of bringing my old bosses down, I'll need a few more hands - preferably ones as skilled as mine. Now might be a good time to see what my old teammates are up to.

Turns out that globe-spanning organizations that have spent billions running the world from the shadows don't just back down when you start poking the hornet's nest. Who knew? They've screwed up, though. Even after all my friends and I have been torn down, they continue to underestimate us. We know the truth about them and everything they've done. And we're going to end it.

A new threat emerges, and the darkness can no longer be contained. Under the command of its bloodthirsty general, the Supremacy joins forces with a deadly new ally, unleashing carnage with fanatical precision. With war spreading to all corners of Atala, Nadon undergoes a dark metamorphosis; one that threatens to fracture the already-cracking continent and to undermine Nadon's very humanity.

Uh, hi. I’m Oisin. Not to brag, but I’ve written a few fantasy novels that boast only the most scathing of reviews. This one’s different, though. It happened to me. Well, me and a few other people you meet in the first few chapters. Eedee (she owns the comic book store I work at) and I were just having fun making our own graphic novel, and bam! Suddenly we and a couple shoppers are sucked into another world that’s technically a version of Earth. Swords, sorcery, the whole deal. Oh, and it’s the one we were just drawing and writing about.

Gathered to serve the people of Deyrnas once again, the Heroes of Dragon’s Nest must now look to a future that already has numerous designs upon it. Some seek to reclaim lost glory, others want only to preserve what they have, and a brave few still hope to salvage something new and better.

Divided and coping with loss, the heroes of Dragon’s Nest must learn to carry on in their task to keep their home safe while on separate paths. The grand city of Lorsyn awaits three travelers, while the fourth is compelled to return to those who share her blood, in championing those who carry none of it. Trials await before either endeavor is to be concluded, and a onetime street urchin will have to reconcile with dark days long past if there’s to be hope in the ones to come. Lorsyn is in need of champions to unshackle its people from a gluttonous tyrant.

Collecting all five Seasons of Light novelettes, Atalan Legends gives fans the chance to explore the Seasons of Light world through the pasts of secondary characters introduced in the main trilogy.

In the fight to save a dying land, can there still be a victor? Their champion lost, those who still stand against the Supremacy fight on in the wake of their latest defeat. Cornered at last, and with no hope of escape, the family Nadon left behind must unite the land against a common foe. It's become a war of survival, but, when things are at their darkest, hope returns to rally Atala's defenders for one final, desperate gambit. With the noose ever-tightening, Nadon's family is pushed to their limit.

Falcon Crest and its hidden machinations have taken much from the Heroes of Dragon’s Nest, but the cost just might not have been for nothing. Change is on the horizon in the form of holding the powerful to task and the possible formation of a new royal lineage. The burden of completing the task for ancient, now-revealed entity, however, soon pushes Jack, Tanner, Allie, and Gefnar back out across a war-torn continent, and new obstacles arise.

Wizened and invigorated by their losses, fears, and ultimate triumph in the elven ruins of Kadason, the Heroes of Dragon’s Nest seek to continue the mission of their looming benefactor by traveling on to the magic-infused stronghold of Falcon Crest. Arriving in the great city, however, they find its people as distrusting of outsiders — especially those of half-breed blood — as they are enamored with their protectors; the Samanir Order and its champions.

Back in the age where they belong, Jack, Tanner, Allie, and Gefnar have bid farewell to their friends in the lawless lands of Varbius, only to encounter an old acquaintance - one who extends to them a curious invitation from the eagle-blood King Shanedir. Intrigued and assured that the requested detour will not delay them long, the heroes of Dragon’s Nest agree to meet with Shanedir, a man strangely intent on uniting all the half-breed nations under a banner of peace.

Still grappling with the darkness they encountered on Nisaim, Jack, Tanner, Allie, and their new friend Gefnar are merely seeking a moment of peace back in the safety of Dragon’s Nest. But the band’s alliance of happenstance is solidified when an ancient face of evil imparts them with a dangerous task. And, with the town they’ve worked so hard to safeguard held for ransom, refusal is not an option.

In the wake of a devastating attack, Dragon’s Nest and its newly proclaimed heroes seek to secure the safety of the weakened town, looking to sea for potential allies. Brought together by circumstance, Jack, Allie, and Tanner join forces once more, traveling to the island of Nisaim off the western coast of Covorum, hoping to secure the aid of the island’s self-proclaimed captain Lenmoir, and to dissuade Lenmoir from any designs he might have on the vulnerable Dragon’s Nest.

With the world itself in flux, those called to defend it must grieve their losses swiftly and resume the work of protecting all they’ve fought for. Enemies advance on every front, and Covorum’s leaders again find themselves at a disadvantage, due to the opposition’s draconic insight into the rising conflict.
