In the savage dominions of Ashadar, there exists a structure unlike any other, a tower that reaches to the very heavens themselves. Built by the greater god Helion, each floor is like a vast and ever changing realm equipped with its own challenges, its own dangers, and its own rewards for those willing to risk it all. And for any strong enough to reach the tower’s peak comes the right to fight for the ultimate prize...Valin Frost was a common thief from Earth with little desire to risk his life in the tower. However, a twist of fate plunged him through its large, onyx doors.

Dante was there when the sun disappeared. He led the survival of a group of office workers as storms ravaged the planet. Then, quiet fell, and they waited for rescue.

Now, the group of survivors have taken refuge in a hidden military bunker in the mountains.

Little does Jorg know that the fate of all mankind will hinge on the choices he makes after the horrible accident that started it all.

Shaun and the Uprising have somehow managed to delay the inevitable, but the day of a titanic battle is on the horizon. The Apochros do not believe they are strong enough to resist the combined might of the Fystr and Galactic Empires, so the Uprising must leave the relative safety that they've found to recruit more willing souls.

After proving herself to Meverick, the old wizard guides the team to the bustling city of Seaside to find transportation across the Great Sea.

Chance lives a life of both pain and privilege. A capable man yet still only 18, he is old enough to seize the world before him. Yet still too young to know what to make of his future. His mind, bright like the sun; heart, brave like all the legionnaires that preceded him; character, unsullied by the follies of the world. His soul, however, paints a different picture.

Humanity has just dodged an extinction-level event, but at great cost. The battle that defeated the Starkillers took the lives of far too many, and the experimental tech enabling interstellar travel carries a death sentence all its own.

James, a bright young boy with a sparkle in his eye, wanted to spend a night at the old yellow house on Millard Road to prove a legend wasn’t true.

It is said that the spirit of the man still haunts the house to this day. Children in the area hear strange sounds when there’s a full moon.

The backbone of every legion for more than a thousand years. At the same time, he struggles to understand and keep secret the strange powers that seem to have been bestowed upon him. Power that he has no idea how to control.

Dante's fears have been confirmed. He is part of a massive conspiracy, a project that was made centuries before to create people who could use magic. Now, he's more monster than man to his peers. He stands twice the height of an average man, he can bend metal with his hands, and he's immune to the poisonous blood of the Naga.

Jonas thought he was done with danger when he returned from Cairo. He had won against an ancient evil possessing his professor, and his eyes had been opened to the world of magic, which was all around him, but hidden from everyday life.
