The Curse

Phoenix Grey

A dark epic LitRPG saga for fans of Grimgar, Dungeons and Dragons, and Sword Art Online.Will refused to admit to the HR lady at Radical Interactive that he’d never played their debut virtual reality MMORPG The Realm. From what he’d seen in videos and heard from reviewers, the game sucked. With the company’s failed attempt at entering the gaming industry, they switched their sights to focus on smaller scale educational programs.Being a beta tester for Radical Interactive was not the dream job that Will had envisioned, but he had hoped it would get his foot in the door to one day becoming a graphic designer for the company. As he filled out his new hire paperwork, he never realized that he was literally signing his life away.Now a phenomenally successful company, Radical Interactive was secretly working on something behind closed doors that would change both the medical and gaming industries forever. The Realm was reborn. The only problem was that it wasn’t a game—at least not to those trapped inside.Dumped into a fantasy world filled with nightmarish monsters, awe-inspiring magic, and way more walking than Will thought he was physically capable of as a nerdy desk jockey, he has to navigate the perils of The Realm and unravel the mystery of how he came to be here and how to get out. Fantasy meets real-life consequences in a game that could mean the difference between life and death. But first, Will must get over being a noob…

London Underground: An Unofficial Legend of The Secret World

Blodwedd Mallory

When she leaves Innsmouth Academy to join with the Templars, Blodwedd “Wedd” Mallory hopes to finish her training and be assigned to the field as an agent like her mother. But, will her chances be sidelined by Special Assignment Supervisor Dame Julia and Master-of-Arms Brigadier Lethe when a deadly supernatural bomb in Tokyo throws the world into an uproar and her mother goes missing?

A thousand years ago, knights gathered in the Holy Land, drawn to the purported site of the First Temple, King Solomon’s Temple.

From all over Christendom, men heeded the call for brave, true fighters to protect those pilgrims who could not protect themselves. To defend the values of their way of life. To cast the infidels out.

Brave.
True.
Templar.

Blodwedd Mallory is not yet a Templar, but she wants to be.

She wants to fight dragons and knows they can be beaten. She’s heard the stories.

“For England and St. George!”

What Wedd has forgotten is that back in those days, knighthood was granted by the rulers of the kingdoms, by those who wanted land and power for themselves.

She has already received a higher calling from Gaia to look beyond the mundane into the hidden magical corners of the secret world. To hear the buzzing of the anima and traverse the world tree, Agartha. To rise up and join those like her to protect humanity. To push back the gathering forces of darkness threatening life everywhere.

Wedd may get what she thinks she wants. She may even have the chance to prove she’s brave and true, fight the war against darkness, and cast enemies from the Temple.

But, she has already received a higher calling—from Gaia herself. Wedd just doesn’t know what that means yet.

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...

★ 4.32

Natalie Maher

Casting necromancy without ever learning how isn't supposed to be possible. A starving orphan girl named Vita is somehow managing it anyway, and she's not sure if this is going to be the solution to her life's problems or a horrifying, spiraling mess into problems she can't even conceive.

Experience the adventure of this fantasy novel by Natalie "Thundamoo" Maher, uncovering the secrets of a massive world of floating islands and the dangerous entity known as the Mistwatcher that rests beneath them. Vigor Mortis pairs adorable charm with deadly seriousness, an incongruous mix that pushes triumphantly forward despite the horror bearing down on all sides.

Radley’s Wardrobe for Horny Monsters

★ 4.54

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.

Mister Slaughter

★ 4.33

Robert McCammon

The world of Colonial America comes vibrantly to life in this masterful new historical thriller by Robert McCammon. The latest entry in the popular Matthew Corbett series, which began with Speaks the Nightbird and continued in The Queen of Bedlam, Mister Slaughter opens in the emerging metropolis of New York City in 1702, and proceeds to take both Matthew and the reader on an unforgettable journey of horror, violence, and personal discovery. The journey begins when Matthew, now an apprentice "problem solver" for the London-based Herrald Agency, accepts an unusual and hazardous commission. Together with his colleague, Hudson Greathouse, he agrees to escort the notorious mass murderer Tyranthus Slaughter from an asylum outside Philadelphia to the docks of New York. Along the way, Slaughter makes his captors a surprising - and extremely tempting - offer. Mister Slaughter is at once a classic portrait of an archetypal serial killer and an exquisitely detailed account of a fledgling nation still in the process of inventing itself.
