General Aleksandr Kerensky is dead. The Pentagon Worlds are in flames. The dream of a Star League-in-Exile is over, shattered by civil war. Amid the chaos, Nicholas Kerensky leads those who will follow him on a second exodus to the world of Strana Mechty.

Most will die. Some will survive. A small few will thrive. The mysterious Overlords destroyed all electronics on Earth, imposed a game-like System, and unleashed ravenous horrors upon the planet. Hi, I’m Zach. I was a production assistant at a Hollywood studio doing my best to make ends meet. That all changed when some unknown programmers imposed The System on Earth and destroyed life as we knew it. Preparing for the end of the world was my dad’s obsession, and I hope I picked up enough from him and the crazy Marksman abilities granted by the System to make it.

All I wanted on my day off was to get some new ink and see the pretty tattoo artist who had been flirting with me during my last few sessions. I definitely didn’t expect to get teleported to an fantasy world filled with berserker zombies, fairies, and shapeshifters that lived in futuristic cities while oppressing the other races. I also didn’t expect my tattoos to come to life. And since most of them are weapons, it seems I am uniquely suited to fight. This world has already had an apocalypse, but maybe it’s time to start a revolution.

100 million dead. 500 million wounded. One billion homeless. The worst war in human history is over—and has left the Star League shattered. Jealousy and infighting from the five Great House Lords over who will be the next First Lord has the entire Inner Sphere already teetering on the brink of all-out conflict again.

My name is Kael Vanalan, and long ago, I vowed that I would kill the King of Feldryn. Regicide is no easy task, however, so I’ve been biding my time in the wilderness, honing my hunting skills and cycling through thousands of potential plans. But then an opportunity falls into my lap. The king has set a massive bounty and will reward whoever can collect it with a fortune in gold. The gold is a nice perk, but what I want is an audience with the king. And all I have to do is kill a dragon and bring him its heart.

Two thousand light years from Terra, two brothers leave behind the shattered dreams of their father, the great General Aleksandr Kerensky. For a second time, war drives them into the dark and cold of the void, as the raging conflict engulfs the Pentagon Worlds and the nascent Star League-in-Exile. For nearly fifteen years on the world of Strana Mechty—the land of dreams—Andery Kerensky has watched his elder brother Nicholas shape an all-new society of warriors that follows their ilKhan with near religious fanaticism.

Nine years ago, my sister died at Firestone Academy. At least, that's what they claim. I don't believe their lies about a tragic accident. Now I've come to face the trials myself — tests that will determine which Quarter I'll serve for the rest of my days. But I have other plans. Behind these ancient walls, dark magic pulses through every stone, and three elite shadow weavers rule absolute. The Princes: Beaufort Lincoln commands shadows like breathing, his charm masking deadly intent. Dray Eros weaves darkness into deadly art, violence wrapped in seductive smiles.

The more I discover about my mysterious past, the deeper I'm pulled into a web of mysteries, secrets and lies. And the more I'm pulled towards the men fate has destined are mine. Well fate can go to hell. I can't forget the way they've treated me and I certainly can't forgive the hurt. I won't give in to my feelings no matter how much they plead.

Using fast and furious hit-and-run tactics, Marcus GioAvanti and his Avanti's Angels mercenaries have earned a tough reputation throughout the Inner Sphere.

Fate wouldn’t tie me to these men, would it? Sent to the ruthless academy for magicals after years hiding from the authorities, I'm behind, poor and, with my pet pig in tow, struggling to fit in. No surprises I'm picked out for ridicule by the other students - as well as the teachers. And four men in particular seem determined to make my life here hell.

Secret memories locked in my head, an assassin on my tail, and strange powers I shouldn't possess are the least of my problems. Because now I'm bonded to a man I barely know. My body may be pulled towards him, but my heart can't forgive his betrayal. And he isn't the only one. I'm sick of being treated this way and I'm sick of not knowing who I really am. No more secrets. No more lies. I'm determined to learn the truth. No matter what the cost.

Together at last, it appears the fate of our country lies in the hands of a girl from the wastelands, an assassin, a were-beast, a professor, an enforcer and a fallen golden boy; leaving the six of us with impossible choices to make.

Theodore Kurita is the son of Takashi Kurita, and heir apparent to the Draconis Combine, one of the most powerful realms of the Inner Sphere. But the Draconis Combine has never been a place of smooth transitions. Historically, a Kurita proves himself a fit leader by a successful bid for power, political or...otherwise. Theodore's perilous journey to power is a twenty-year odyssey, beginning with his graduation from Sun Zhang Military Academy.

Returning home to Rockview after seven years abroad, I find my stepbrother, Daxton, and his two best friends have formed a pack. Which is just fine, because I no longer think about that summer fling. Or the fact no alphas I’ve met since have been able to compare. Nope, not something I think about. Not at all. I. Am. Over. Them. And to prove just how over them I am, I’m going to find Pack Stanton their perfect omega.

I escaped Lowsky's clutches but now I'm separated from my fated mates as the country's defenses crumble and far dark forces work to seize control. Fate has spoken and I can no longer fight the inevitable pull towards the men destined to be mine. I'm desperate to find them – to know they're safe – to hold them in my arms. But I'm not the only one searching. Tales of my existence – of my powers – mean once again I'm on the run. Only this time I don't know who I'm running from.

As a former sergeant in the Army, I’d like to think I’m very practical and level headed. But after I moved back to Louisiana and reconnected with my best friend and his wife, they somehow convinced me to join them in their new hobby: Ghost hunting. At first, I thought we would just have a little fun on the weekends, and I’d get to spend more time with my friends and the cute girls in the group, but then I witnessed things that have no logical explanation. People appearing and disappearing in the blink of an eye. Objects moving around in the old beach house I’m renting.

College was just supposed to be a fun experience. I moved all the way to New England to enjoy the rich history, make friends, and maybe even get a girlfriend. And against all odds, it looked like this lanky nerd might actually stick the landing on all of the above. But things took a weird turn when a bunch of insanely beautiful sorority girls started stalking me. Now, I’m suddenly surrounded by pentacles, the paranormal, and so many seductive witches that I don’t even know what to think. Am I seriously about to get sacrificed by the hottest girls I’ve ever seen?

When Tyler King, a beer aficionado, finds himself transported to the magical land of Hagop, he discovers a world filled with cunning dwarves, enigmatic gnomes, brutish ogres, and beautiful women. It seems like the perfect place, until he discovers the real horror: nobody in this magical world knows how to brew a decent beer. But Tyler knows how to make great beer. He is going to create an empire of barley, but doing so means a life of adventure, danger, and bitter rivalries.

Distraught, heart broken and facing a heat on my own, I’m still reeling from the way my relationship with the Hamilton alphas ended. I believed I’d found a pack of my own. Five men who’d stolen my heart, who treasured and loved me. Turns out, I was wrong. Now they’re back and begging for forgiveness. They claim it was all a terrible misunderstanding. They swear I am the omega for them. But my heart’s been broken one too many times.

If you love someone, set them free. That’s what they say, right? I am not prepared to be the one that ruins Daxton, Owen and Wyatt’s careers. I love them too much and so I have to let them go. But, darn it, those alphas are persistent, they smell so good and they won’t take no for an answer. And when fate swings by with an unexpected package – or maybe that’s just the inevitable outcome of one very hot heat spent together – all my reasons for staying apart disintegrate.
