Dragged through a portal to a fantasy land brimming with monsters, Connor has to hit the ground running just to survive. Worse, he has to get settlement-building to defend himself against 99 other lords, all of whom are out for his blood! Warlords of the Circle Sea is a town-building adventure packed full of monster battles, shady elves, an unhelpful wiki called Borg, and a smoking-hot goddess named Xandaphrey. But Connor is not alone. Others have been dragged from Earth. He must enlist them to help him build an empire, or else he will fail. If he does, only death awaits.

What would you do if you woke up in a strange land? What if you had no idea why? Would you fight, or would you curl up into a ball and cry? What if your fate was sealed by a booming announcement that cracked across the vast blue skies? “Greetings, welcome to The Land of The Lessermen. You have arrived in the nick of time. War looms, its dire thunderheads crowding our once glorious sky. This land needs a strong hand such as yours. A hundred must battle for victory, and at the end, there can be only one.”

Connor has vanquished The Bad Princess and taken control of Cristallur. But what of the rest of Devon? What of the other four continents? If he stands still, he will surely fall. Edward must plot his next move, but is someone or something anticipating his every choice? Will a sudden compulsion prove all their undoing? Ellen is stuck. How can she travel her Civilization Trail if the lands of Devon inhibit her progress?

The bell chimes - the watchtower blinks red. When war comes, you'd better be ready. The 30-day peace is over. Portsmouth is being invaded. The Soul Gate has risen from the bowels of the underworld. Welcome to Dragon’s Born, the next thrilling installment in the Warlords of the Circle Sea 4X LitRPG series. In Dragon’s Mist, Connor and his knights explored the Land of Devon. They fought great beasts, took on epic quests, and finally built Dragon’s Mist, a city on the edge of a great falls that cuts the land in half.

In Dragon’s Mist, we saw him establish his castle. In Dragon’s Born, he secured his land. In Dragon’s Realm, he exterminated a mortal enemy, and in Dragon’s Knight, he took his continent. Now, three continents gather to wipe Connor and his knights from the Circle Sea. Can Connor survive their combined might? And what of Dave, the maverick Englishman? Will he become useful, or remain the fool?

There’s a saying...What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, and Connor is going from strength to strength! He’s finally got his borders secure by taking Portsmouth. Not only that, but he’s conquered the adjacent land of Certaindeath and defeated Lord Zerg Zerg to take Zergatory. Things are looking up for our favorite warlord, and he’s rightly pleased with himself. But there’s another saying...Pride comes before the fall. Join Connor, Edward, Ellen, Yosaku and the gang as they battle their way toward world domination!

Barakdor, a virtual fantasyland packed with elves, dwarves, gnomes and trolls. Barakdor, a world sliding helplessly to war. Lincoln wanted to be a warrior, a rogue or a mage, but he'd made a promise to himself, so he chose builder. He wasn’t supposed to play the game on his own, but now he wanted to build a legacy for Joan, a sanctuary in a virtual world. It was supposed to be a place where folk could come to get away from the terrors that the land held, a utopia he would create with his bare hands. It was supposed to be Joan’s legacy. But as the growling thunderheads of war gather, he begins to think it might be a last refuge.

I’d never played a game before, I’d never seen the point. On the first day, I leveled up. It was an intense feeling of euphoric pleasure. By the end of the week, I’d forgotten about my other life. My name is Alexa Drey. This game has become my world. I fight for Barakdor.

Alexa Drey arrived in the virtual land of Barakdor a complete novice, but now she’s getting the hang of it, now she’s starting to have fun. As her and her powerful companions travel from Castle Zybond to Brokenford, a strange draw pulls them west, and the adventures begin. In this, the third book in the Barakdor series of books, Alexa must learn to stand on her own feet, face down her enemies, and try to work out who her real friends are as she battles through the land. If she doesn’t, she will certainly fail in her quests.
