V.A. Lewis

The world is shaken. Consequences are dealt. Enemies lurk in every corner.

After leaving the Free Lands, Melas arrives in Laxis and slowly tries to establishes herself as a Hunter. Her magic is still a curse, yet it can be a blessing.

Raven House

★ 4.31

Deacon Frost

Levi Walker reached Taryl after a real bad day at college. An angry walk in the rain led to Truck-Kun and a quick trip to reincarnation. If dying wasn't bad enough, Levi wasn't off the hook for his higher education.

Reborn on Taryl and sent to the Academy, Levi is expected to learn how to wield powerful magics. A glitch in the Reincarnation Network has left him with a new body and no idea what’s going on. He’s been told he has great magical potential, but no one is sure what kind.

Now Levi has to accept magic is real, mana vapor makes airships fly and “Horrors” from another dimension feed on unsuspecting victims. If that’s not bad enough, he still has to do homework.

Fortunately, Levi has always been a quick study.

Kingdom of the Dead

Pavel Kornev

What could be worse that getting stuck in a virtual world? Instead of enjoying the game, I found myself trapped inside my character’s dead body. Now the only way I can save myself is by procuring the Scroll of Rebirth. The problem is, my chances of getting it are slim. I’m an undead: an outlaw with no friends, only fickle allies, and plenty of enemies. Who are only waiting for their chance to strike.

My undead hangman character has to tread a razor’s edge, with only the support of his fellow players preventing his imminent plunge into the abyss. But are they who they claim they are? In a game, there’s nothing easier than assuming another person’s identity.

Steinernes Fleisch

★ 3.75

Cornelia Funke

Jahrelang ist es Jacob Reckless gelungen, im Zimmer seines verschwundenen Vaters unbeobachtet die Hand auf den Spiegel zu legen und so ins märchenhafte Reich dahinter zu gelangen. Dort hat er als erfolgreicher Schatzjäger unter anderem im Dienst der Kaiserin gearbeitet, ist dem Schuh von Aschenputtel ebenso hinterher gejagt wie dem Tischlein deck dich, dem Knüppel aus dem Sack oder dem Goldenen Ball, der jeden in sich hineinzuziehen vermag, der ihn berührt. Und er hat erfahren, dass sein Vater mit seinen Erfindungen den grausamen Goyls bei ihrem Kampf gegen die Menschen geholfen hat: jenen seelenlosen Wesen also, deren Haut (und Herz) aus Stein besteht.

Jetzt aber ist Jacobs jüngerer Bruder Will dem Schatzjäger ins geheimnisvolle Reich hinter dem Spiegel gefolgt – und gerät dadurch in tödliche Gefahr. Plötzlich droht er selbst zu einem Goyl zu werden: mit einer Haut aus Jade. Der Jade-Menschengoyl aber soll mit einer ungeheueren Macht ausgestattet sein, die sich der Goyl-Herrscher Kami’en zunutze machen könnte, um endgültig über die Menschen zu siegen. So jedenfalls hat es die Dunkle Fee erträumt, die an der Seite Kami’ens herrscht. Und während Jacob mit Wills Freundin Clara und der Gestaltenwandlerin Fuchs verzweifelt versucht, den Verfall von Wills fleischlicher Haut in Jade aufzuhalten, ist Will längst als Leibwächter des Goyl-Königs eingeplant. Eine unerbittliche Jagd gegen die Zeit beginnt, die Jacob kaum gewinnen kann...

Overdue

K.T. Hanna

The Library once stood proud as a beacon of magic and power.

For 500 years, it has been broken.

Quinn can barely handle her own life. When the Library of Everywhere discovers her compatible magical signature, suddenly she is the sole existing potential Librarian. Now it’s not only the weight of her world on her shoulders—Quinn must connect with the Library system before the universe itself disintegrates.

Once she’s settled, it should be quiet, peaceful work- just as soon as she battles a few engorged bookworms, repairs hundreds of years of damage, and figures out why there's been no Librarian for the last several centuries.

And once that’s done she can start gathering overdue books.

All 18,042 of them to start with.

There’ll be a helluva lot of late fees to process.

Justin L. Lincoln

After being approached by the military with a contract he couldn't refuse, JAMES winds up uploaded into a virtual reality game as a beta tester. Waking up in the Great Savanna, James struggles with a less-than-useful interface before he comes across two creatures locked in battle. The shoulder high grass allows him glimpses of a lion-esque creature fending off a torrent of scales and claws. Sneaking up to steal a better look at the surreal situation, James discovers two things.

1. Getting hurt in the game.... well hurts!

2. This noble race of lion-men, named Martyrs, have almost been decimated by the scaled lizard creatures.

By unwillingly saving the life of a Martyr cub, James is adopted into their village. He grows to love the beauty of the Great Savanna and his adopted game brother, whose life he saved... That is until PATRICK arrives, and the tranquility of the game is shattered.

James embarks on a mission for answers to his steadily increasing list of questions. On the top of that list,

"What the hell happened to the human race, and where is my damn brother!?"

Radley’s Wardrobe for Horny Monsters

Annabelle Hawthorne

When Mike Radley's magical home grew another floor, he thought he knew what to expect.

He didn't expect a kingdom of portal-chewing rats to be living between his walls.

He really didn't expect to discover that the wardrobe down the hall was a prison world for a murderous kitsune.

And he definitely didn't expect all of his enemies to converge on his house all at once, intent on his destruction.

Welcome to Radley's Wardrobe. Expect the Unexpected.
