In Ritualist, Joe becomes a permanent resident of a magical system governed by quests, classes, and relentless progression.

Choose your retailer
About the book
A LitRPG adventure perfect for fans of He Who Fights with Monsters, Unbound, and The Path of Ascension.
A game that puts all others to shame. Magic that has been banned from the world. A man willing to learn no matter the cost.
The decision to start a new life is never an easy one, but for Joe the transition was far from figurative. Becoming a permanent addition to a game world, it doesn't take long to learn that people with his abilities are actively hunted. In fact, if the wrong people gained knowledge of what he was capable of, assassins would appear in droves.
In his pursuit of power, Joe fights alongside his team, completes quests, and delves into the mysteries of his class, which he quickly discovers can only be practiced in secret. Ultimately, his goal is to complete every mission, master every ability, and learn all of the world's secrets.
All he has to do is survive long enough to make that happen.
With over 1 million copies sold, The Completionist Chronicles is a LitRPG series packed with immersive progression, mechanic-driven character growth, and quest-based advancement. The result is a humorous fantasy adventure that feels like stepping straight into an RPG world.
Perfect for fans of the snarky narrative of Dungeon Crawler Carl, the expansive worldbuilding of Defiance of the Fall, and the clearly defined magical progression of Cradle.

A vow of justice becomes something far more dangerous when a young assassin starts to question the order that shaped her.
Markswoman
Fantasy · Horror
Our take
A vow of justice becomes something far more dangerous when a young assassin starts to question the order that shaped her. In Markswoman, Kyra is forced to flee after a ruthless takeover leaves her hunted and desperate to prove a hidden murder. With magical blades, secret orders, and a harsh post-apocalyptic world, this fantasy balances action, revenge, and growing doubt about where duty ends and vengeance begins.
Choose your retailer
About the book
An order of magical-knife wielding female assassins brings both peace and chaos to their post-apocalyptic world in this bewitching blend of science fiction and epic fantasy—the first entry in a debut duology that displays the inventiveness of the works of Sarah Beth Durst and Marie Lu.
Kyra is the youngest Markswoman in the Order of Kali, one of a handful of sisterhoods of highly trained elite warriors. Armed with blades whose metal is imbued with magic and guided by a strict code of conduct, the Orders are sworn to keep the peace and protect the people of Asiana. Kyra has pledged to do so—yet she secretly harbors a fierce desire to avenge her murdered family.
When Tamsyn, the powerful and dangerous Mistress of Mental Arts, assumes control of the Order, Kyra is forced on the run. She is certain that Tamsyn committed murder in a twisted bid for power, but she has no proof.
Kyra escapes through one of the strange Transport Hubs that are the remnants of Asiana’s long-lost past and finds herself in the unforgiving wilderness of a desert that is home to the Order of Khur, the only Order composed of men. Among them is Rustan, a disillusioned Marksman whose skill with a blade is unmatched. He understands the desperation of Kyra’s quest to prove Tamsyn’s guilt, and as the two grow closer, training daily on the windswept dunes of Khur, both begin to question their commitment to their Orders. But what they don’t yet realize is that the line between justice and vengeance is thin . . . as thin as the blade of a knife.

Ren Yu devotes her life to swimming, believing speed and discipline will earn her love, opportunity, and safety.
Chlorine
Fantasy · LGBTQIA+
Our take
Ren Yu devotes her life to swimming, believing speed and discipline will earn her love, opportunity, and safety. Yet the water awakens a deeper longing shaped by stories of sirens and river spirits. As pressures close in, Ren pursues a transformation as dangerous as it is liberating. Chlorine is a dark, gripping novel of body, identity, and becoming.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Ren Yu is a swimmer. Her daily life starts and ends with the pool. Her teammates are her only friends. Her coach is her guiding light. If she swims well enough, she will be scouted, get a scholarship, go to a good school. Her parents will love her. Her coach will be kind to her. She will have a good life.
But these are human concerns. These are the concerns of those confined to land, those with legs. Ren grew up on stories of creatures of the deep, of the oceans and the rivers. Creatures that called sailors to their doom. That dragged them down and drowned them. That feasted on their flesh. The creature that she’s always longed to become: the mermaid.
Ren aches to be in the water. She dreams of the scent of chlorine, the feel of it on her skin. And she will do anything she can to make a life for herself where she can be free. No matter the pain. No matter what anyone else thinks. No matter how much blood she has to spill.

About the book
When life goes sideways, embracing the adventure is the fastest way to set things right.
One day I was just a widow facing the prospect of an empty nest, living a life that was anything but enchanted. The next, I had discovered my magical roots, and my rightful place as the Guardian of the portal between the Faery and Earth. There was shock. And there was fear. After all, no one plans to start over at forty-five.
I intended to grow old with my husband. I thought we’d live an ordinary life. So I’ll be damned if I’m going to waste this opportunity to live in a world I always thought was imaginary. I’m half-witch, half-faery, and facing dangers as real as the ache in my bad knee. Ibuprofen and caffeine keep me going, and I could do this for the rest of my life.
Whoever thinks my family home is an easy mark better take notice: the new Guardian in town isn’t going down without a fight. After all, she’s already learned to let go of her simple existence and believe in the extraordinary power inside of her. What could possibly stop her now?

Choose your retailer
About the book
Talia has achieved what once felt impossible. She’s now a full Herald of Valdemar.

As she journeys through distant towns and unfamiliar territories, Talia must learn to trust her training and herself. Her psychic Gifts, once a source of promise, now pose a deadly risk if used carelessly. With each judgment she renders, the consequences ripple far beyond her intent.
The kingdom teeters on the edge of turmoil, and Talia stands between order and chaos. If she falters, she may doom the very realm she’s sworn to protect.
Is she ready to wield her power or be consumed by it?

About the book
Talia never asked for destiny, but it found her anyway.
When the mystical Companion Rolan chooses her, Talia goes from unwanted village girl to trainee Herald of Valdemar. Her days of dreaming about adventures are replaced with rigorous training, court politics, and a psychic bond with a sentient, horse-like creature who clearly knows more than he’s letting on.
But even as Talia begins to master her gifts, shadows creep through the kingdom. Treason stirs in quiet corners. Assassins lurk behind polished smiles. And the Queen’s heir—just a child—is in grave danger.
Now, Talia must navigate a web of magical conspiracies and deadly secrets with only her instincts and a few half-formed psychic abilities. One wrong move could cost the kingdom everything.

About the book
An instant New York Times bestseller!
“For readers who have just finished Naomi Novik’s The Golden Enclaves and are ravenous for more dark academia” (Booklist), this “pulse-pounding” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) fantasy thriller follows six teenage wizards as they fight to make it home alive after a malfunctioning spell leaves them stranded in the wilderness.
Ren Monroe has spent four years proving she’s one of the best wizards in her generation. But top marks at Balmerick University will mean nothing if she fails to get recruited into one of the major houses. Enter Theo Brood. If being rich were a sin, he’d already be halfway to hell. After a failed and disastrous party trick, fate has the two of them crossing paths at the public waxway portal the day before holidays; Theo’s punishment is to travel home with the scholarship kids—which doesn’t sit well with any of them.
A fight breaks out. In the chaos, the portal spell malfunctions. All six students are snatched from the safety of the school’s campus and set down in the middle of nowhere. And one of them is dead on arrival.
If anyone can get them through the punishing wilderness with limited magical reserves it’s Ren. She’s been in survival mode her entire life. But no magic could prepare her for the tangled secrets the rest of the group is harboring, or for what’s following them through the dark woods…
