Our take
Spell Weaver follows Alex, an ordinary man thrust into a System-driven world of magic and monsters. Starting with weak stats, he gains a rare trait that reshapes how he grows in power.

About the book
An action-packed LitRPG Adventure featuring a detailed magic system and numbers going way up!
Magic isn’t just a tool. It’s a path to power that few can fully grasp.
Alex was just trying to escape his dead-end job and overbearing family. Then the System arrived, bringing with it magic, Rifts, and the chance for ordinary people to become extraordinary.
Unfortunately for Alex, his stats start out as unimpressive as his old life. But when he gains the unique trait [Primordial Will], which only allows him to put his free points into one stat, everything changes.
As he begins to study the art of Mana Threads and creates a revolutionary new magic system with Spell Circles, it becomes clear that mastery of magic is the route to power.
But with the world’s governments struggling to contain the rising number of superhuman threats, Alex will have to navigate more than just monsters, magic, and Rifts. In a world where “might makes right,” who really calls the shots?
Join Alex on his path to power in this action-packed new LitRPG adventure. Featuring high-octane action where the numbers go way up, slow-burn power progression, three-dimensional characters, a detailed magic system, runes, party-building, and so much more!

AN IMMORTAL WARRIOR. A HIDDEN WAR. A CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS.
By day, Franklin Barbarossa is an eccentric NYU professor. But behind the books and lectures stands Fahlgrim Firebeard—battle-worn dwarf, last cleric of a forgotten god, and the final guardian in a war that has faded into myth and legend. And now, the darkness he once bled to stop is rising again.
When a relic of unspeakable power resurfaces in New York City, the barrier between myth and reality begins to crack. Shadows stir in the alleys. Old enemies gather strength. And an ancient evil, thought buried forever, is awakening.

Some evils never die, but some heroes never yield.

Choose your retailer
About the book
On a day no different from any other, Zhou Yi was still just another young disciple doing everything right… and getting nowhere.
For years, his training had stalled.
He worked himself to the bone, but the wall in front of him didn’t crack.
The praise faded. The whispers grew louder. A “prodigy” quietly became a punchline.
Then, one night, something in the world answered him.
A strange light surfaced in the lake—silent, unnatural, irresistible. He reached for it without thinking, and in that instant, reality split open. Vast, terrifying visions flooded him. Power. Laws. A world far larger than the one he’d been told was real.
When he dragged himself back to shore, soaked and shaking, nothing looked different.
But everything was.
The wall that had trapped him for so long was gone.
A new path lay ahead—one paved with danger, secrets, and the kind of strength that doesn’t wait for anyone.
Some would call what happened to him a miracle.
Others would call it a curse.
For Zhou Yi… it felt like he’d finally stepped into the world he was meant for.
In a realm where power decides all, a stalled youth becomes the most dangerous kind of talent—one that awakens at the exact moment the world turns cruel.

A nation's elite warriors vanished. A throne in jeopardy on the heels of murder. War devouring the survivors…
Ten years ago, the Kingsmen were summoned to re-swear their bonds to the king or be charged with treason—and were never heard from again.

Elohl reunites with his sister Olea, Guard Captain for the new young queen, only to find a secret cabal controls the throne since the old king’s death.
As an attempt on the queen’s life plunges the nation into chaos, Elohl must choose—to protect the crown that betrayed him, or not.
Now, Elohl and Olea must give up everything to shatter the hidden sect that usurps power from the throne.
But as war threatens, will the exiled new queen trust the Kingsmen like her predecessors once did?
Or will a bloody war be reaped in the shadows—burning all nations and bringing all kings to their knees?

Somehow, he might be the only one able to protect them from the Dragon Souls, but how can he protect what he hates?

About the book
"Kastle writes like a warrior poet..." Tellest Reviews
Scorn. Abuse. Betrayal.
From bonebreaker in the employ of a heartless moneylender, to fugitive from the law, life isn't easy for a gutter-born sellsword like Geth. When one final injustice lands him on the run, his next stop is the hanging tree, until he pledges his blade to an embattled king.
But has he joined the ranks of a hopeless cause?
Traitors threaten to tear the realm apart, circling the throne like crows. Savage tribes gather at the border. As the kettle of war finally boils over, Geth finds there are more enemies than friends for a foreign mercenary bound to a fledgling king.
Can the war be won?
Horns will sound. War drums will thunder. Geth will face sinister witchcraft, trial by ordeal, single combat, and full-scale battle. He must save the king and his kingdom or die trying. It's that, after all, or lose everything: worthy lord, newfound home, and life as a man, not a mere dog of war.
From fistfights to sword duels to scenes of epic battle, DOG OF WAR will thrill and entertain. Get your copy before the price changes and step into the adventure!

About the book
All Oz Carnavon ever wanted was to become a master mage.
Except, to do so requires the natural gifts or wealth necessary to secure an appointment to one of the prestigious magical academies in the Core City at the center of the seven realms. Oz had neither.
He was born without magical talent, serving in the elemental plane of fire, a nightmarish hellscape of treacherous lava and vicious monsters, where life is cheap, and escape is rare. But Carnavons never give up.
When Oz fakes his death to get out of his family’s contract and crosses the Nexus gate to sneak into the Core, everything seems to be going according to plan… Until he gets blamed for an assassination attempt on the fire realm’s ambassador.
Now, Oz must become a fugitive in a vast magical city, while trying to earn a place among the magical academies which have nothing but disdain for his kind.
And the clock is ticking, because in one week, the most dangerous wizard in the realm of fire is coming to track him down and drag him back to hell.
Experience this epic new saga from LARRY CORREIA, award-winning author of Monster Hunter International and Saga of the Forgotten Warrior. This progression fantasy epic features a D&D-inspired setting split by portals into elemental realms, slow-growth power progression, magic academies, and unforgettable characters!

About the book
ONLY ONE CAN END THE WAR.
HE STANDS BETWEEN TWO WORLDS, A SAVIOUR AND A DESTROYER TO BOTH.
DRAGONS AND AEGRES WILL FALL.
BUT ONE CAN TURN THE TIDE.
One who stands in the shadow of kings. Such has been seen by the doomed. The weight of ten thousand lives and all the realm besides now sits on Joran’s shoulders. So much has already been sacrificed to bring him to the ancient doors of Drakanan, where he might take on the mantle of Dragon Rider and usher in a new age of heroes.
But a time of dragons is not all that has been seen…
The days are shadowed by approaching night. The war to devour all wars has come again. He who lies entombed in the dark will rise and the fires with him. Death cannot hold him.
The Skaramangians hold to this, their fingers pulling the strings of war to hide their dark deeds. In past and present they work towards a future that will reset the world. Evil will be made manifest in that world, and there remains no power in all of Verda capable of preventing it.
And so the few, those who would be heroes, must take the road to madness if they are to prepare for the inevitable war. It is not a road they can all survive…
