The Dungeon of the Absolute has awakened, becoming an existential threat to the town of Bentham, where Master Alchemist Elijah Kaine has made his home and hopes to make his fortune. Endless waves of monsters stand between him and the elusive ingredients he needs to concoct a potion of immortality. Elijah will have to muster every ounce of his skill and resources to emerge triumphant once more.

Ross Moreland dearly wishes to spice up his dull life as a PA with something actually exciting. Like magic. His wish comes true when he gets summoned to another world. Then he gets ritually sacrificed. Luckily, the banished sun god rejects it, sending him back to life with a starlike core, one that gathers a ton of mana to explode into being. Ross can't use up the mana fast enough to prevent a fatal detonation with regular spells. What he can do is Sacrifice it all away, in return for incredible rewards. First, he just needs to join the very cult that tried to kill him.

New beginnings await Georgia Carpenter as opening day for the Sea Glass Inn approaches. It’s all very exciting, but there are a million things to be done. And a million fires to be put out. With the constant reminder that nothing good ever comes easy, she and Travis Taylor, her handsome handyman, conquer each problem that arises, bringing them closer than ever before. But is it all happening too fast? Georgia isn’t sure, and doubts begin to creep in. Maybe it’s time to put the brakes on things. Or is she letting her past dictate her future?

The Christmas party at the Sea Glass Inn is a long-held tradition, one the townspeople of Blackbird Beach consider the kick-off of the Christmas season. Until, of course, the inn closed, and the party stopped happening. Now Georgia Carpenter has decided it’s time to restart that tradition, even though the party is a massive undertaking and one that will influence how people feel about the inn for the rest of the year. With the help of her sister, Lilly, Georgia hopes to put on an event that will be merry and bright and spark new interest in the business.

There’s a wedding on the horizon, and Georgia Carpenter couldn’t be happier. But that doesn’t mean she’s lost sight of everything that still needs to be done to get the Sea Glass Inn ready for opening. Not only is she preparing for that, but the magazine photoshoot is right around the corner, too. As is the town council election. Most people think Travis Taylor, the inn’s handsome handyman, is a shoo-in, but with Lavinia Major as his opponent, anything could happen. And probably will.

Harper thought retirement meant hanging up his glaive, but when the Dungeon Lord offers him something no adventurer has ever been given—a chance to build a sanctuary from the ground up—he can't resist. Finally, a quest where success means creation, not destruction. What starts as empty land on the tenth floor of the dungeon and desperate refugees becomes something extraordinary. Olivie creates belonging with every warm smile and shared meal while Andrea challenges him at every turn.

When keeping the world safe from horrors from beyond the veil, you have to expect the unexpected. Like the mayor and her coven of witches trying to recruit your girlfriend. Or the new drug on the streets turning people into mushroom-infested monsters. Or the FBI working overtime to cover up half a cornfield going missing. But, oh well. Keeps life interesting, if nothing else.

Four years alone in the Oregon wilderness cured Ethan Reed of a lot of things. Corporate burnout. Panic attacks. Any expectation that life would ever surprise him again. Then a wounded elf collapsed in his yard during a blizzard. Lyra is a silver-haired ranger fleeing hunters who've been capturing her kind. Mara is a born werewolf with amber eyes and a tactical mind sharper than her fangs. Nerissa is an ancient naiad who moves through water like it's an extension of her soul. None of them should exist. All of them need his help.

When the world ended, Pax found he had an unusual gift. With the ability to turn the souls of monsters he defeats into constructs; Pax plans to ensure that the women he loved were safe from the newly reopened Hollow Earth. Volcanoes might turn the sky black, and monstrous insects were spreading across New York, but Pax won't let that stop him from keeping Jenny and her best friend safe.

The Nine Gods of Ionia have finally noticed what Harper's become: an isekai with the power of a Dungeon Lord, something that should be impossible. Something that threatens the very order they've maintained for so long. Their verdict is already decided. He must die. But if Harper falls, so does the dungeon of Rozklad and Haven's Rest. As does every soul who ever believed in his impossible dream. So he'll fight tooth and nail to keep them from dismantling what he's built.

When the World Council sends assassins to Haven's Rest, Harper does something no one has ever dared: he declares independence. From their laws. From their authority. From their right to control his life. The message is clear: Haven's Rest belongs to the people. But rebellion has consequences. Refugees flood in faster than Harper can house them. Saboteurs hide among the desperate. The World Council's embargo threatens to starve them all. And through it all, Harper builds, leads, and protects while proving that someone CAN stand against the most powerful organization in the world.

Everyone said the corruption couldn't be stopped. The World Council's best minds called it a death sentence for any dungeon it touched. But when demigod Karina—the Dungeon Lord of Rozklad Labyrinth and the most powerful being Harper has ever met—begs for his help, he doesn't hesitate. Because that's what heroes do: they attempt the impossible. What starts as a desperate bargain becomes something deeper. Andrea fights to prove she belongs at his side, her skill and passion demanding recognition. Karina slowly surrenders her divine control, trusting Harper with power that could reshape worlds.

Our little startup town is doing well and we’re even gaining new allies. Local monster girl tribes are finally coming around, wanting to be friends. Some wanting to be more than friends. Small victories, though still good. But that invasion thing, that’s a kick in the nuts. We’re looking at something that could possibly destroy everyone on Tenos. To defend the world, we’re going to need to gain a lot more allies. There’s the Sodality, as much as I hate to think about it, but there may be others as well. Some of them rather mysterious, possibly even fabulous. We’ll take all we can get.

After traveling all over the western half of the world, my sexy companions and I have found the lost princess of the Isameine Dynasty and saved her from certain death. Finally. With Princess Evina in our corner, the resistance movement can gain some credibility and grow. That was the thought, anyway. None of us realized how much of a pain in the ass a gorgeous princess could be. My foxgirl wife and my hotter-than-hell orc warrior and bunny girl are the kindest women I know, but even they are ready to beat Evina senseless.
