An ancient legend. A snarky sword. And a reluctant hero who’s about to regret everything.

Nate Arturi never wanted to save the world. He wanted to graduate, land a decent job, and maybe figure out why his neighbor’s corgi keeps climbing onto roofs. But when a deranged alien beacon wakes up on Earth, Nate’s mundane life goes up in smoke—literally.

Ambushed by an alien monster, saddled with a sarcastic sword, and scammed by a scruffy wizard claiming to be the Merlin, Nate is thrown into an adventure that’s way above his pay grade. Worse still, an alien armada is gunning for Earth, and Nate might be the only thing standing between humanity and fiery oblivion.

But saving Earth is just the beginning. To survive, Nate must rise from reluctant hero to full-blown legend, even if it means facing galaxy-spanning conspiracies, ancient grudges, and more foul-mouthed AI sass than anyone should have to endure.

The Excalibur Knights Saga Omnibus brings together the first three explosive novels (The Eighth Excalibur, The Black Knight, and Spoils of War) with several exclusive bonus stories from the universe. If you love high-stakes adventure, laugh-out-loud banter, and underdog heroes who never quit, this 1,800+ page epic will keep you hooked till the very last page.

Apocalypse? Check. Demonic invasion? Check. A hellhound with an attitude problem? Unfortunately, check.

Artemus Steele’s life was weird enough before he started juggling flaming swords and battling creatures from the pit. Now he’s part of a ragtag team trying to stop Armageddon, armed with nothing but newfound powers they can’t control, a book of prophecies they can’t read, and a hellhound who keeps eating the furniture.

As Chicago becomes the flashpoint for celestial warfare, Artemus and his misfit crew must master their abilities, decipher ancient riddles, and save the world – all while dodging fireballs, demon claws, and the occasional hellhound temper tantrum.

Who knew the End of Days would be this ridiculous?

Blood & Bones is the first book in AD Starrling’s urban fantasy series Legion, the spin-off of her bestselling supernatural thriller series Seventeen. This is an action-packed paranormal adventure featuring smart-mouthed heroes, angels, demons, myths, monsters, and a hellhound disguised as a rabbit.

Bookish introvert Morgen Keller never thought she would have a midlife crisis. That was before her husband divorced her, her boss let her go, and her grandmother died.

Forty wasn’t supposed to look like this.

When Morgen inherits Grandma’s old farmhouse in the small town of Bellrock, Washington, it could be a chance for a fresh start.

There are just a few problems…

A fearsome werewolf has claimed the property for himself, Grandma didn’t die of natural causes, and, oh, she was a witch.

Embroiled in a mystery, and heir to powers she knew nothing about, Morgen must turn to the only person who might be able to help: the werewolf who threatened to rip her throat out for trespassing.

This isn’t the fresh start on life that Morgen had in mind.

Magical matchmaking, family secrets, and wicked witches collide in this spellbinding cozy romantasy from mother-daughter writing duo ReGina Welling and Erin Lynn.

Some fates are harder to avoid than others.

When your family legacy comes with a body count and a curse that turned Grandma into a lawn ornament, believing you’re normal isn’t really an option.

Lexi’s badass witch ancestors were long revered as Keepers of the Balefire Flame—until a family feud pitted her mother and grandmother against one another. Their infamous magical battle didn’t just destroy each other; it turned the Balefire name into a punchline, leaving Lexi to tend the hearth alone.

The problem? Lexi’s never unlocked more than a whisper of power, one she credits for crafting unbreakable happily-ever-afters for her matchmaking clients, but it’s useless for much else. When it comes to the Balefire, her three well-meaning but troublesome faerie godmothers do all the heavy lifting.
