Synopsis

Dakkon’s in trouble. Things have gone horribly wrong.
But, so long as there’s still a glimmer of hope, it’s not too late, is it?
With such high stakes, failure isn’t an option. He’s got to stay crisp. Frosty. Focused.
Dakkon needs luck, skill, and a meteoric rise in power, however success won’t come so easily.
Nature is cruel. Predators come in all shapes and sizes, especially when the land is warped by magic.
Everything rests on Dakkon’s shoulders now, but perhaps someone can tell him:
Elves. Why must they all be so damned uppity?

Spire of Blood

★ 4.49

Marvin Whiteknight

The portals are open and the orcs have come to the World of Sanctuary and Serenity.

Theo has rallied a mighty horde at his back. As the orc Wargod said to him, the Patriarch of the Hearthwood Clan can't save Deania, but the Chief of the Blackgorge Tribe can. With an army at his back, Theo plans to do just that.

The nations surrounding Deania have decided to attack. But while they're away, who's going to be protecting their homes?

Theo plans to lead the orcs who would have invaded Deania into the lands of their enemies instead. In doing so, he hopes to drive this enemy army away before Countess Frostweaver finishes whatever she's planning back in the capital.

The Alchemist: Book 1

★ 4.3

Roman Romanovich

In his world, he was the last remaining alchemist, one of the few survivors living amidst the ruins of a once-great civilization. Refusing to give up on life, but seeing that nothing could save his home, he challenged himself to find a way out of such an inhospitable place.

After years of dedicated research, he devised a ritual to transport himself to another world. But the outcome was far from anticipated. Instead of mere displacement, he underwent a rebirth.

He ended up in a new body, a new world, surrounded by new threats lurking around every corner. And they primarily manifested themselves in the form of other people. Aristocrats of the ancient empire who fight for supremacy, demons capable of healing the most terrible wounds, and Walkers who have the ability to teleport anywhere they wished.

But a true master of alchemy does not allow himself to be perturbed. Edgar’s intelligence, skill, and alchemic knowledge are still with him, and the one who has once accomplished the impossible won’t go down without a fight, regardless of the circumstances.

Shadow’s Seventh Step

★ 4.53

A.F. Kay

Ruwen wants nothing more than to relax in the Third Secret and recover from the terrible damage to his core. Escaping the ambush in the Infernal Realm had come at a steep cost—one that means no Spirit use until he heals.

Unfortunately, rest is one more thing that needs to wait, because the Bamboo Viper Master’s trial started days ago, and not participating results in the purging of his Step knowledge. Not something he wants to risk.

Joining the trial holds extra danger for Ruwen because fighting the Infernal God forced him to use forbidden Shadow Clan knowledge, breaking an oath, and the Founders will certainly punish him. But he’s spent the last eighteen months intensely training for the worst, so the peril doesn’t frighten him.

What does make Ruwen pause is the chaos back home, because attending the Master’s trial will delay his return. But the Steps hold no more secrets from him, and finishing the testing quickly will be trivial. His homecoming will barely notice the delay.

Entering the Master’s trial, Ruwen learns there are seven secrets, not six, and his assumptions quickly fall apart. The Founders deliver additional troubles, as the consequences of his broken oath spread further than he thought possible.

Ruwen's seemingly straightforward trial may prove a trap, and instead of leaving a Master of the Bamboo Viper Step Clan, he may fail to unravel the mystery of the seventh step and spend eternity in the shadow’s darkness. Even if he survives it, the terrible judgment of the Founders awaits, and amid all this uncertainty an ancient relic delivers a misfortunate prophecy that if left unheeded, declares death will surely find him.
