Synopsis

Magic, mysteries, monsters, and mayhem. A new world awaits…

Finding herself in a strange new realm, in a sleek new body not her own, Nikole must learn to survive fast. She quickly befriends an elite healer and his masterfully skilled crew, hoping to find safety in numbers.

But bigger problems lurk on the horizon than just monsters of the wild. This new world is on the brink of war.

Nikole, whose main starting skill is… well… being unskilled, is forced to take on a role far larger than she’s comfortable with. She’s torn between helping her new friends and a desperate desire to go home.

How could anyone so ordinary be expected to do such great things?

The First-Grader (Nanomachines Book 4):

I am a son, and I have nanomachines inside me. What did you expect?

Having gained self-awareness while still in my mother’s belly, I realized that this was my chance. Being born was the first step. Then at one year old I would have a college degree, and at five I would be a billionaire. I didn’t care that I remembered nothing of the past. This being a magical world, and with lots of smart tech, too, I’d catch up in no time, wouldn’t I?

Yeah, right.

“This baby’s dying!” — That is what I heard in the first minutes of my life.

I was dying? What? In the very first minute? Was this some kind of sick joke? Was the whole world against me?

Something had to be done…

International politics meets immortal blade

The war-mongering kingdom of Cai has begun to stir once again, the long held peace brought to the brink by a widespread drought. Now, the neighbouring kingdoms of Wei and Shen must ally together to deal with the Cai or see the flames of war spread over both nations once again.

Wu Ying is brought into the negotiations for his reputation and strength, but the former farmer and now Head of the Wandering Gatherers is a fish out of water in these political waters. More and more, he wonders where morality and practicality end as he watches the maneuverings of those in power, all while the hungering maw of the Cai kingdom and its powerful king watch over the squabble.

Between kingdoms and cultivators and the demands of an all consuming dao, can there be a peace that isn't won at the end of a blade?

A Thousand the Fourth Fall is the eleventh book of the xianxia series, A Thousand Li. It's the second book of the final arc of Wu Ying's journey to immortality, the trials and tribulations he faces and the leg of his journey.

No one craves an escape more than Alice Carradine. Six years ago, her future was stolen by an unexpected accident. Now a quadriplegic, Alice is confined to bed and mired in depression.

Her saving grace is the “The Darker Ages,” a complex virtual world that offers its players a chance at a new life. In this virtual reality, Alice escapes into the body of Princess Arienne, whose life is infinitely more thrilling. As Princess Arienne, Alice gets to experience the fantastical medieval adventure of her dreams.

But her virtual life is far from perfect.

Her fiance is a pain in the ass. Her secret crush is murdered in front of her. Then she’s abducted by pirates, led by the wickedly charming Alfred Du Bois. Arienne’s roguish abductors dedicate their time to plundering, brawling and flirting. Not necessarily in that order.

The Darker Ages is a historical fantasy with a virtual reality twist.
