Clyde Hatchett has known he's had a corpse-king inside him, slowly trying to take over his body and raise an army of undead for a while now. And while that may seem like a rather, um, urgent matter to attend to, it's only now, after being forced out of Glaton by his best friends and then having to rescue someone's sister from a bad marriage, that he's actually in a place to deal with it. And he better deal with it quickly, since his entire left hand is starting to look like it belongs to the Crypt-Keeper.

He's tried to ignore them for too long. But the long-simmering conflict between Montana's holding at Coggeshall and the Night Goblins who also occupy the valley is about to boil over. Usually, goblins aren't anything to write home about: an enemy without much size, intellect, or weaponry. But these goblins? Well, that's just not the case. These are goblins with limitless resources, never-before-seen tactics, and horrifying monsters at their disposal. Worst of all, they don't fear death in the slightest. They just might force a good guy to become what he has always struggled to defeat.

Up until now, Montana's gotten by pretending he's a regular guy. Well, a regular, overpowered, god-defeating guy who maybe just learned his hair is in all the wrong places. But the big city is calling, and in order to succeed there, Montana must actually prove himself a deserving duke. If Glaton finds him lacking, Coggeshall could be forced into even further isolation. But if Glaton falls in love with him, the regular guy from Motor City could end up with limitless power, in charge of it all. And just like that, the fate of the entire Empire is in Montana's hands.

A Secret Service operative and dedicated survivalist, Special Agent Del Roosevelt had a plan for every world-ending scenario and regularly trained for them all. He was even ready for a date with the hottest woman in his office next Friday. At least he hoped so. But all that training, all those rations, all that prepping? Useless for the apocalypse that actually played out. Del wakes up half-buried in a giant trash pile, missing his thumbs. And, um, covered in red fur. He's stuck in a world of fuzzy monsters, senseless violence, and cult-like crusaders.

"Has your life here been so difficult? You seem to fail upward at every opportunity." So says Careena, the hag teaching Clyde Hatchett how to use magic. It certainly doesn't feel like that to Clyde, who's still got a day job scraping mud (at least he hopes it's mud) out of monster pits. And yet, Clyde's found himself at the center of a massive conspiracy to kill the Emperor. He's the only one with proof that could save the man, and take down an entire network of corrupt nobles, evil slavers, and power-hungry despots.

Follow Clyde on his continuing adventures, as he gets back to Glaton—wait, he promised to visit the City of Darkness. Right. City of Darkness and then back to Glaton. Except . . . wait. What's wrong with the small coastal town of Furtaxo? Okay, first Furtaxo. If Clyde can get that mystery figured out, then he can move on to the next quest.

Say hello to the new and improved Clyde Hatchett...who's only a level-four nothing. He's on a (seemingly never-ending) quest to get back to his life in Glaton. And now, all that stands in his way are the Empire-hating Carchedonians, a death cult, and a traitorous party member. Oh, and a mythical city that very probably doesn't exist.

When Ginger Mitchell finds out her mother committed suicide, she drives her cherry-red SUV straight home to Portland. Murders are being passed off as suicides. College-aged women keep going missing. And then there's the troubling spate of mobsters who keep inviting her out to eat. Includes the first six novellas in the Roseland series, Home Is Where the Start Is, The Ruth Is Out There, The Body in the Pool, Amber Alert, Jane Dead, and Welcome to Roseland.

Land-ho! Clyde and co. have finally—finally—made it to the City of Darkness. Which turns out to actually exist! One small problem though. Anyone and anything that sets foot on the island immediately disappears. Ceases to exist. Poof. To complete the quest, Clyde needs to figure out how to actually enter the city and steal the crown jewels . . . without getting stuck in the town forever. It's a foreboding, dark place (obviously), where corruption is rampant. And maybe worse: the game rules Clyde's gotten so good at bending to his will? They don't seem to apply.

No one is more shocked than Ginger Mitchell, former call girl, current PI, at how well this whole crime-fighting thing is going. In the short time since she returned home to Portland, she’s taken down an entire crime ring and exposed a corrupt police department. Not bad for her first year on the job. But it’s not like all that success made Ginger’s life easier. Hired hit men are after her. Darlene, the boss who killed her mother, is still at large. Ginger’s brother is missing.

Ginger Mitchell accomplished the impossible; the former call girl and now sort-of private investigator got into all of this to bring her mother’s killer to justice. But Darlene is still on the loose. It was bad enough when the woman was manipulating Ginger from afar, but now Darlene is in Portland wreaking up-close-and-personal havoc under the assumed identity of Isabelle Dunkirk.

Del Roosevelt, Champion of the Midden. The first creature smart enough, strong enough, fast enough to advance in who knows how long, immediately finds himself in jail. Well, technically, it's a dungeon, but he's spent enough time putting people behind bars to recognize when he ends up there, too. Now, our little furry force needs to work the system and escape to Ratopolis with the one ally he has left.

Greg and Julian need to make a choice—die in the tornado that’s sucked them up in their van, or agree to hunt monsters in a world full of magic and levels and, oh yeah…monsters. The two frat bros may be master ghost hunters to their podcast listeners, but they never expected their antics to be taken seriously by a goddess in another dimension. And since when are ghosts the same as monsters? Awkward. But when the other option is certain death, it seems like it’s worth giving it the old college try.

Ein ruiniertes Leben. Ein gebrochenes Herz. Er dachte, es sei das Ende, und seine Waffe war bereit, um dies sicherzustellen. Aber ein merkwürdiges Angebot seines einzigen Freundes kommt in buchstäblich letzter Sekunde. Die Neugier holt ihn ein, und er findet sich in iNcarn8 wieder, ein Spiel, das behauptet, ein ganz neues Leben zu sein. Als Montana, der überlebensgroße Krieger, hat er nun noch ein letztes Mal Gelegenheit, sein Leben in Ordnung zu bringen.

"Ist dein Leben hier übermäßig schwierig gewesen? Du scheinst bei jedem Scheitern dennoch nach oben zu fallen." Das sagt Careena, die Hexe, die Clyde Hatchett den Umgang mit der Magie lehrt. Für Clyde fühlt es sich auf jeden Fall nicht so an. Er hat immer noch einen Tagesjob, bei dem er Schlamm (zumindest hofft er, dass es Schlamm ist) aus Monstergruben kratzt, und dessen "Diebesgilde" sich mehr um das Backen von Keksen kümmert, als darum, ihn vor einer rivalisierenden Bande zu schützen.

Montanas neues Leben in Vuldranni, der mittelalterlichen Fantasy-Spielwelt, in die er hineingeraten ist, ist nicht ganz der ruhige, ausgedehnte Angelausflug, den er sich erhofft hatte. Aber man muss zugeben, dass es ihm ziemlich gut geht. Jetzt ist er Montana Coggeshall, Erbe eines Herzogtums. Wenn er seine Leute rechtzeitig nach Osterstadt bringen und es einfordern kann. "Heute Erbe, morgen Schachfigur" ist ein herzerfrischendes LitRPG-Abenteuer durch unerforschtes Gebiet.

Es stellt sich heraus, dass ein Kerkeraufenthalt den eigenen Plänen gehörig einen Strich durch die Rechnung machen kann. In seinem neuesten Abenteuer wird Clyde Hatchett zu Unrecht inhaftiert und beschuldigt, die Prinzessin selbst geschlagen zu haben. Da er zum Tode verurteilt ist und ihm die Zeit davonläuft, liegt Clydes einzige Hoffnung darin, eine Reihe von unmöglichen Aufgaben zu erfüllen. Denn in Glaton reicht es nicht aus, unschuldig zu sein, um deinen Hals zu retten – vor allem nicht, wenn du anderen einen Gefallen schuldest.

Er hat schon zu lange versucht, sie zu ignorieren. Doch der seit Langem schwelende Konflikt zwischen Montana und den Nachtgoblins, die das Tal ebenfalls bewohnen, droht überzukochen. Normalerweise sind Goblins nichts Besonderes: ein Feind ohne viel Größe, Intellekt oder Waffen. Aber diese Goblins? Nun, das ist einfach nicht der Fall. Diese Goblins verfügen über grenzenlose Ressourcen, noch nie dagewesene Taktiken und schreckliche Ungeheuer. Das Schlimmste aber ist, dass sie den Tod nicht im Geringsten fürchten.
