Synopsis

Having broken the Pirate clans of the Confederate border with the Free Worlds Alliance, and now possessing a fortress that expands his people’s capabilities, Mirikon Mollen, Admiral of the Black Star Fleet, Owner of the Black Star Company, and (when he has time) Captain of the Starlight Raven, sets his sights on a new goal. He’s just received a large number of new workers, thanks to the former pirates and their slaves who he captured, and the size of his growing fleet is beginning to make some people nervous. So, never one to simply sit idle and wait for trouble to come his way, he embarks on a plan to bring his major strength out of the public eye, at least for a while.

The Healer: Book 3

★ 4.59

Roman Romanovich

At night, I cleanse the world of the undead, and in the morning, I enjoy a nice breakfast under my friends' curious gazes. But their questions will have to wait, because no matter how you spend your free time, life goes on.

Sometimes in unexpected ways, both for you and your acquaintances. After all, what could be more unexpected than the sudden arrival of your roommate's relatives? At least I know how to deal with the undead. Cut off the head and — boom — problem solved. But what should I do with an aunt ready to curse me from the doorstep?

Bribe? Flatter? Intimidate?

But that's not the worst of my troubles. I also have a bloodsucker on my trail who wants to use me against his superiors.

And as if that isn't bad enough, there are still the problems of the mundane life. I need to further develop my reputation as a healer and legalize my unusual talents. There's also the sword school. I have the skills, but will anyone believe that an orphaned commoner was just born so talented?

War God’s Mantle: Ascension

★ 3.93

James A. Hunter

The gods walk again …

When Marine Corps pilot Jacob Merely crashes during a routine mission off the coast of Cyprus, he was sure it was game over.

After surviving the crash and pulling himself onto the sandy shores of a long-abandoned island, however, Jacob unwittingly stumbles headfirst into the ancient ruins of a dead city. Unfortunately, he also stumbles into an age-old battle between good and evil—and he is now its newest recruit.

The island once belonged to the Amazons, daughters of Ares, the God of War, and stood as the final bastion between the human world and the monstrosities of the Great Below. But Jacob’s arrival has awakened the old gods and disturbed the seal holding the ravaging darkness at bay.

Now, with the help of a sacred gem containing Ares’ power, Jacob must recreate the Amazonian defenders of humanity and fortify the island stronghold. And if he fails, Hades will unleash his army of the damned and the world of men will fall, giving rise to an age of walking nightmares.

"You had me at mythology. You sold me at the crafting, game mechanics, great characters, and serious action. From start to finish, War God's Mantle delivers. Do not miss this book!" — Harmon Cooper, author of Fantasy Online and The Feedback Loop series.

Two years have passed since the fall of Octagon the Bitter and the dire warning from Order. The barrier that once separated the Five Kingdoms from the rest of the world is failing. Morgan is the first to encounter one of these invaders, signaling that the time has come for him to set out on his mission.

He won’t be going alone, as he is sidetracked by an unexpected guest when visiting the Ruined City. Morgan can’t remain in the Five Kingdoms for long and must set out for Faeland, the continent of their enemies.

The rulers of Faeland have been preparing as well. Warned by a new Pantheon of gods that the human scourge is free once again, they move to act before their ancient enemies have a chance. War is brewing on both sides, even as gods scheme and ancient monsters stir. Only one thing is definite – Morgan will do whatever it takes to see his mission through to the end. No matter the cost.

Mark of the Founder

★ 4.34

James T. Callum

The Founders were the first Marked, and they used those powers to build kingdoms, subjugate the land, and enrich themselves. And they will not suffer another to join their ranks.

Lost in a world with Levels, stats, and monsters, Hal fights to survive in an unforgiving land and escape execution from its rulers.

Ingenuity and courage won’t be enough. With Marked powers he doesn’t understand, he’s easy prey for all the goblins, bandits, aberrations, and foul monsters that plague the realm.

He’ll need to abandon his humanity by embracing the beast within. To fight monsters, one has to risk becoming a monster. If he can survive long enough to Level Up.

Freedom and safety cannot be achieved alone. Only by forging bonds with fellow adventurers and monsters alike does Hal and his would-be-kingdom have any chance of surviving the hazardous realm.

Rift Magus Reborn 2

★ 4.45

Sam Winton

Book two of the Rise of the Arcane Aristocrat series.
You can find book 1
And book 3

I was the Rift Magus—master of space and time, protector of worlds. For decades, I defended my realm with unmatched power. But when I was reborn in the body of Lucian, a young noble in a different world, I had to start again.

My strength was diminished but my knowledge remained, and I quickly reclaimed fragments of my lost powers--and even found some that were new.

But this new life came with intrigues and rivalries of noble Houses, and obligations as well--one of which threatens to escalate out of control and put my progression at risk.

If I was the young noble I seemed to be, I would be out of my depth.

But I am not Lucian. I am the Rift Magus, and I've dealt with my share of both family obligations and unspeakable horrors, growing stronger all the while.

I can do it again.

I
will
do it again.

There's nothing in this world that can stop me.

Shattersoul

★ 4.46

Kyle Kirrin

The first wing of the Red Cathedral has been conquered, and the next phase of the Possibility King’s invasion is officially on.

Strange towers have arrived all across EBO, bringing with them fragments of new and dangerous realities. Some will threaten the Onyx Delta, others will offer new opportunities, and one tower in particular will awaken something in Frank that really should have remained dormant.

And in the midst of so much change, the Thousand Tower Tournament rapidly approaches, presenting a host of challenges that will pit Ned and Omen against not mobs, but other players, including a formidable new enemy whose cunning and ruthlessness may very well put an end to the guild’s quest for the World Branch Throne.

There will be more blood this time too… again. More cats as well.
