As if my life wasn't already complicated enough, now the Archons are back, and they're searching for their lost brother. My school is overrun by a new crop of Magicians who can't keep civil tongues in their heads. An ancient group of Shadowborn-hating fanatics has crawled out of the woodwork with a bag of powerful toys—and the ruthlessness required to use them.

My twin brother is a Wizard and thinks he's the only magician in the family. It's actually a little funny that he hasn't suspected anything different over the last 17 years - with my constantly need to keep his idiot face out of danger and stupidity - but that's not today's problem. You see, someone's trying to kill him.

My twin brother has started to go mad, and my powers are the cause.

From there I run face first into a whole stack of problems, including a crazy werewolf girl, a large pack of flesh-eating ghouls, and a trip to the greatest repository of magical knowledge in the world, where someone like me is definitely not welcome.

Up until this morning, the biggest thing Josh had to worry about was completing Shadow Souls on sadistic difficulty. Oh, and his upcoming exams. That was before he caught the attention of a planet of intergalactic trial-by-combat lawyers that use giant mechs to fight their legal battles. Now he has bigger things to worry about. Much, much bigger. The only advantage he has is his trusty games controller, but will it be enough to beat a Level 10 Behemoth?

The Carthaginians, however, refuse to surrender without a fight. Led by a seasoned commander, new armies with weapons from the Far East are sent to counter the Britannians, with the entirety of Europe as the ultimate prize.

My life has become peaceful, routine. I have friends, I have a girlfriend, and all is right with the world. Or it was, anyway. One night is all it takes for things to go from perfect to perilous. One night in which my life is turned upside down, thrusting me into a war for my very survival. One night that was supposed to be fun and joyous. The night where I met my girlfriend's family.

Given a short time to prepare before he is to return to Ironsoul for trial, Endrance gets dragged into a fight to save not only his life, but the life of everyone living on Mount Balator. Armies of the dead arise, and only the crowning of a new king will stop them. Now he will be pushed harder than he’s ever had to stand. Farther than he’s ever had to go.

What would you do if the lights went out?

Reeve has come out on top of his enemies: the gods themselves. The Mage has finally created the first iteration of the System, and although it falls silent, he knows it's still there—planning, plotting, doing who knows what. He has found answers that have led him to far more questions than he had before. Who is pulling the strings behind the scenes? Why are the gods going along so compliantly with his conquest? Where in the nine hells is Jax? Is the Entity still around?

Ever since Markus Wolfe transmigrated to a lizard-eat-lizard world in which nature has reverted to an almost Jurassic-level wilderness, he's been uncertain of his patron Nicholas's ultimate goal—but he has learned how to increase his skills and outlast the man-shredding beasts that cross his path. Things get personal when Kalanthia, Markus's leopard companion—known as the Great Predator to her enemies—is attacked, and her precious cub, Lathani, is captured during the struggle. Having already overcome so many odds, Markus isn't prepared to let his luck run out just yet.

We won. But so did he. His final act damaged my Well, the source of my magic, perhaps beyond repair. My body is failing as my own powers slowly kill me. I have to find a cure before it's too late, but there are so few people who can even understand what's wrong, much less how to go about fixing it. Not even my fellow Archons know how to help, and my sources are coming up dry. Desperation is driving me into branches of magic some might consider dangerous and that others would gladly kill me for just looking at.

The Fairy peoples have cut themselves off, taking important parts of me with them. A new threat emerges, wrapped in a righteousness that serves only to conceal a dreadful rot. Demons start to circle, Black Magic grows in power and influence, and my old enemies are starting to band together in the service of a new darkness.

Britannia is finally free from Carthaginian rule. Now, it is up to Ky, a test pilot from the far future and current Consul of the new Britannic Empire, to take the fight to the Carthaginian Empire. The continent, with its vast resources and manpower, awaits. However, it takes more than new weapons to turn an ancient army based around heavy infantry into one out of the Napoleonic era. New weapons, new tools, and new tactics are ready to take Britannia into the industrial revolution if only they can survive long enough to master them.

And so did his secret connection to a woman whose love changed all their lives. Who was she? Evie Waters’s two grown children discover an iconic photo in an old magazine of a “mystery girl” with Carter: their mother. It all started in a wistful time and place for Evie, her twenty-fifth summer.

He needs a royal redemption arc. She needs to keep her distance. The public wants a story, preferably a romantic one. I called him Ledonia's most eligible man-child in a headline. Now I'm living at his palace. After my no-holds-barred exposé on Prince Maximilien goes viral, the royal family doesn't banish me—they hire me. Apparently, the King and Queen think damage control looks like me filming an exclusive behind-the-scenes series on their charming, cocky, scandal-prone son. Prince Max isn't thrilled. In fact, he downright despises me. Which is fine. Because the feeling? Entirely mutual.

With the defeat of Valeria behind him, Endrance has only the Malchoir left to track down. The world wouldn't be able to handle even one Mercanian regaining their power. They had kept humankind as slave labor and a source of blood for their own magical rituals and would certainly do so again. While he didn't know for certain what Malchoir had planned, it involved going deep into a region of the world called the Shatter: the destroyed homeland of the Mercanian Empire so terribly besotted with magic gone wrong that nothing could live there and not be warped by its influence.
