Synopsis

Patience, dedication, persistence, these are but some of the qualities that form a hero. While each hero ultimately walks a different path of ascension, they all strive to reach the same destination.

Alexa is no different, in her path to become a hero. Striving forward in her academic life, she balances her personal relationships, her hidden addictions, and her ever emerging dual personalities. Constantly battling between the person who she has always been, versus the person she wishes to be, all while being forced to walk a far more treacherous path than anyone has ever had to stride before in order to become a hero.

Forced to fight necromancers, corrupting elves, diabolical orcs, and far more insidious creatures of the night; Alexa finds herself striding forward, silently leading the way through the darkness. All while trying to find who she truly wishes to be when her journey is over.

This is a story of magic, trying to understand love, and finding hope.

Where the only thing to look forward to was the blessed, if brief, period of time between paying that bribe.

When he met the Watcher in the afterlife, and took on a new life. A life of idyllic bliss that involved having a family.

Rene has become the Hood, the Mask, and young Anatolis all in one.

Where he continues to take more power with the Anatolis bankroll, his blade, or someone else’s blood.

Except as he gains more power, he becomes more of a target.

With every day, more people are targeting one of his lives and what they can take from him.

The city is about to be pitched head-first into the front lines of more than one fight to the death.

It has no idea, and it’s one true defender is a serial-killer turned hitman who became a bounty hunting money-lender that moonlights as a gang leader.

All before the month is over.

Warning and minor spoiler: This novel contains graphic violence, undefined relationships/harem, unconventional opinions/beliefs, and a hero who is as tactful as a dog at a cat show. Read at your own risk.

Reaping Fate

★ 4.53

Actus

Luck can only go so far.

Gleam may be fading into the distance, but Vex is far from done with Chance and Bella. At his command, the Shikari set off in hot pursuit of them. The best way to evade their hunters is to blend into the villages that surround the massive Scholar City.

But, as Bella shows Chance more of the new world he’s found himself on, they stumble into forces that not even Vex could have predicted would be at play.

Yamish stands in wait, offering a solution to all of their troubles — a solution that stands at direct opposition to Chance’s boundless optimism. If he’s going to find a way to survive Vex without losing Bella in the process, something is going to have to give.

Luck might not be enough, but Chance has never been good at giving up when he’s meant to.

Drew Hayes

Junior year has come for the remaining students of Melbrook Hall, and it promises to be the most difficult one yet. With one of their own gone and another under serious investigation, none of the former Powereds knows how many days remain for them in the Hero Certification Program.

The time they do have will be filled with more trials and classes, honing their skills as they work toward the increasingly difficult goal of becoming Heroes. Ample new challenges await them, and not all of them can be met on the safety of Lander’s campus. Fallout from last year’s final exam has stirred the interest of many parties, not all of them friendly.

With enemies pressing in from all directions, it’s going to take new alliances, dedication, and countless hours of training if they want to last another year.
