Keiran of the Night Vale has staved off death for two thousand years. His mind and his magic remain as sharp as ever, but his body is old, worn out, and failing. What he needs is to reincarnate into a new, young body, and he bends his prodigious talents towards doing exactly that.

Velik was changed by a childhood encounter he still struggles to understand. Now he’s something else—faster, deadlier, and armed with a unique class built for one thing: hunting monsters. For ten years, he’s braved the frontier alone, cutting down every beast that threatens the border towns. With each kill, he’s grown stronger, gaining levels and sharpening his skills on the thousands of monsters infesting the wild lands.

O que Kallik mais queria era encontrar a entrada para Underhill — o lar ancestral dos feéricos, e que desapareceu aparentemente por culpa dela —, e, quem sabe, poder começar a levar sua vida de forma tranquila. No entanto, quando se vê acusada pelo assassinato do rei da corte Seelie, agora ela precisa, além de tudo, provar mais uma vez sua inocência. Ela só não esperava que receberia ajuda da corte rival para escapar e continuar sua busca por Underhill — e muito menos que a rainha dessa corte iria designar o homem por quem Kallik é apaixonada desde sempre para ser seu protetor nessa missão.

Bryce Quinlan e Hunt Athalar hanno stretto un patto e stanno lentamente cercando di tornare alla normalità. Hanno sì salvato Crescent City, ma le loro vite sono così stravolte che l'unica cosa che vogliono è del tempo per rilassarsi. Rallentare. Capire cosa riserva il futuro. Gli Asteri finora hanno mantenuto la parola, lasciando Bryce e Hunt in pace. Ma con il tentativo dei ribelli di Ophion, in gran parte umani e Vanir, di intaccarne il potere, la minaccia che i governanti rappresentano sta diventando sempre più concreta.

Ventitré anni, mezza Fae e mezza umana, Bryce Quinlan ha una vita perfetta: di giorno lavora in una galleria d'arte e di notte passa da una festa all'altra, senza problemi e senza preoccupazioni. Quando però una brutale strage scuote profondamente Crescent City, la città in cui vive, e Bryce perde una persona a lei molto cara, il suo mondo crolla in mille pezzi lasciandola disperata, ferita e molto sola. Adesso non cerca più il divertimento, ma un oblio in grado di farle dimenticare i terribili fatti che hanno cambiato la sua vita per sempre.

Bryce Quinlan non si sarebbe mai aspettata di vedere un mondo diverso da Midgard ma, ora che è successo, l'unica cosa che vuole è tornare indietro. Tutto ciò che ama è lì: la sua famiglia, i suoi amici, il suo compagno. Bloccata in un luogo spaventoso e a lei sconosciuto, avrà bisogno di tutto il suo ingegno per riuscire a tornare a casa. E non è un'impresa facile dal momento che Bryce non ha la più pallida idea di chi potersi fidare.

My name is Mal, and ever since I was a boy I've been treated as a malcontent because of my ability to see magic. For everyone else, magic is proof of the Goddess's love. To me, it is just a colorful spread of enchantments, cantrips, blessings, and hexes. And any spell I can see, I can break. I had always expected to grow up to be a ditch-digger. Instead, I was dubbed a hero. Heroes are sent out in the wasteland, to slay monsters and to challenge the Demon Lord. It's a suicide mission. But once I was exiled, I found that the outside world was drastically different than I had thought.

"Congratulations! You are the last survivor of the Hell Games. You have gained back your freedom." Huh? One moment I was running from demons and other competitors trying to do me in.

Before me, some Princess started explaining that she had asked the gods for champions to help save her world in these dire times… and I was one of the chosen heroes. Yeah, right! I had been in Hell long enough to know I shouldn't trust my senses when it all seemed too good to be true.
