For the first time in years, my staff, Ashmaker, is gathering dust. But Aerenvale has secrets of its own. Ancient machinery churns beneath the mud, and hidden tunnels hint that our quiet village was once something far older. When those buried powers begin to wake, I must protect my newfound farmstead…and the women who make it home.

Have you ever had a bad day? Sergeant Paul Mitchell had. It was the kind of bad day where nothing went right, everything that could go wrong went wrong, and everyone died. He knew that was always a possibility in the marines, but it really sucked when it happened to you: it wasn't your fault, and you still took the fall for everything. With his career dead and buried, he's forced to make it as a freelancer; a jack of all trades but a master of none. Just when he thought life couldn't get any worse a couple of stupid kids proved him wrong...again.

Then fate plucks him from obscurity and Jack, now renamed Jack Noble by his management team, becomes one of the most famous people on the planet. A teenager who likes to indulge himself with limitless resources is not the best recipe for a successful life. But, it's never too late in Middle Falls.

At Krysfelt Academy for Girls, trouble usually wears a team jersey. But this time, it’s a government Reclamation Officer, and he’s after an artifact mysteriously bound to my bloodline. There’s one loophole: prove I’m a rightful bearer through ancient Legacy Trial. To do so, we’ll have to break curfew, slip past the Reclamation Officer’s goons, and partner with a rival who knows the back trails better than any of us.

Paul Mitchell wasn't sure how things could get any worse. Sure, he'd been booted from the Marine Corps and was forced to work as a freelancer because he couldn't hold down a regular job. He'd signed on with a mysterious crew of women, sailed across the void, and met interesting aliens and new people who tried to kill him. Against all odds, he'd somehow found himself stuck between a criminal psycho, Naval Intelligence, and a drop-dead gorgeous skipper who actually liked him. He'd even pulled a regular Prince Charming and saved a damsel in distress.

The Annual Freshman Rumble is coming up at the Krysfelt Academy for Girls, and it’s time to shape up or get wrecked! Thanks to a few… notable incidents, my team’s been selected to compete in this year’s Rumble: a no-holds-barred showdown where freshman squads face off in a gauntlet of Dungeons. Easy, right? I mean, I already soloed a Dungeon to save one of my girls!

My team and I have worked hard to earn the honor of representing Krysfelt Academy for Girls, but not everyone is happy to see us rise to the top. Old rivalries are resurfacing, and some competitors are willing to take things too far.

With an elf girlfriend from a fantasy world, as well as his own childhood sweetheart, things are looking up. When the reality of his elf girlfriend's debts become clear, Caleb offers to help pay them off. It'll mean crossing the threshold into the Wyrdworld and meeting with her vampiric creditors. To say Caleb is a little tentative would be putting it lightly.

While Jack Flanders is being chased by a zombie, his phone rings. It's Mojo waking Jack from his nightmare and inviting him to New Orleans. Later, strolling through the French Quarter, Jack is amazed to see Claudine, from Montreal. Or had he just met a voodoo priestess who can shapeshift into the woman of his dreams? And who is that zombie that keeps following him?

After the death of a grandfather he never knew, Caleb Holdstock inherits a mysterious mansion. The place needs a lot of work if its to be liveable, but the truly strange thing about it is what's in the basement. A doorway drawn in chalk. It seems harmless at first, until a midnight encounter with a silver-haired elf proves that this doorway is, in fact, the entrance to another world. With knowledge of a magical world beyond Earth, Caleb's life will never be the same again. And the best thing about it? He can travel back and forth freely.

The Krysfelt Academy for Girls is the most prestigious academy in the Magocracy, and it’s about to get its first male student… Like most guys, I never expected to see the inside of that fabled place. But when I’m assigned the Enchanter class—previously reserved for girls—an invitation to Krysfelt is part of the deal. To earn my place, I’ll have to win over the fiery headmistress and the monster girl students—catgirls, orcs, wolfgirls, dryads, goblins—you name it… And that’s not even mentioning the pretty (but slightly insane) tiefling girl who believes she and I are destined to bond…

Caleb Holdstock never expected to find himself with the ability to open portals to other worlds. He definitely never expected to find himself a citizen in a place called the Wyrdworld. What he could have never predicted, even in his wildest dreams, would be that he'd find himself running for senator in this fantasy world. But here he is, putting himself forward as the latest candidate for office in the Celestial Senate.
