About the book
Mateo has survived his training so far. But it's far from over.
Having passed his initial assessment, Mateo has been assigned to learn the craft of the Dark Wing, the information gathering branch of the Iron Wing Army. But it quickly becomes apparent that Dark Wing does a lot more than gather information when he is sent to infiltrate an enemy city to pave the way for a surprise attack.
As Mateo’s personal power continues to grow he’ll learn that it takes a lot more than strength to navigate the complex web of intrigue between nations. Yet no matter how adept he becomes, it is impossible to avoid being drawn into the maelstrom that surrounds the ambitious imperial family, leaving Mateo with no choice but to commit himself to supporting the young Fifth Prince.
Together with his friends and his spirit bond, Corvus, Mateo will continue to uncover the truth about the world, the mysterious Solomon order, and the treacherous path his master planned for him.

About the book
Kai is the hardest working warrior in his generation... and the unluckiest. In a world where most people receive magical skills, classes, or cultivation, Kai has nothing but his wits and his strength. His only choice will be to forge a new path against fate, no matter where it takes him.
Savage monsters pour endlessly from the wasteland, threatening the survival of civilization itself. They say that human strength isn't enough and only those gifted with destined powers have a chance of making a difference. Kai is hungry to fight in that war, to be someone who matters. That hunger will take him across a world stranger and more terrible than he could possibly have imagined.
Depthless Hunger's setting blends inspiration from many sources. Cultivation exists, drawing off Chinese wuxia and xianxia, but qi flows alongside chakra, drawing off Indian sources, as well as western systems. All are combined in a single system that is gradually revealed over the course of the story.

About the book
The last time Jason Asano returned to Earth, it didn't go great.
Isolated from his friends and forced to work with people who had betrayed him time and again, he had come perilously close to becoming worse than the monsters he fought. This time, no power on the Earth can stop him. Bursting with cosmic power and with friends and allies at his back, the only thing stopping him from conquering the world is the fact that he doesn't want to, but that may well change.
The Earth has problems, from fracturing magical factions to the aftermath of a monster cataclysm to a vampire war on the verge of resuming. If the Earth doesn't get its house in order, Jason might just have to take it over and do it for them.
Jason needs to deal with a world that variously fears, venerates and, worst of all, worships him. He needs to navigate politics, danger and some deeply confronting fanfic about himself, Humphrey and Clive. He has a son who feels neglected, a family still hurting from old rifts and a clan who see him as a near-mythical being. He's not a god, how many times does he have to say it...
While dealing with everything else, Jason must prepare for greater threats, looming on the horizon. There's a vampire queen who got the better of him in the past, and bizarre experiments that are getting loose and killing people. The vampires are ramping up for a final battle, and a hidden threat is determined to prove that Jason is not as invincible as he seems.
And if that wasn't bad enough, a threat that has been waiting for Jason longer than he realises will finally be revealed, presenting him with a conflict that is impossible to win. It's time to find out if the impossible really is kind of his thing.
Book 13 in the bestselling He Who Fights With Monsters Series is here.
About the series: Experience an isekai culture clash as a laid-back Australian finds himself in a very serious world. See him gain suspiciously evil powers through a unique progression system combining cultivation and traditional LitRPG elements.

Rich characters and world-building offer humor, political intrigue and slice-of-life elements alongside lots of monster fighting and adventure.

About the book
Jay never believed in gods. Right up until they kidnapped him.
Being an IT tech and surviving the lower parts of NYC was all Jay had ever known. So when he’s snatched away to a strange world by so-called “gods”, well... imagine his surprise.
Jay had never cared about gods before, but now he must compete to become one in the Celestial Tournament. He just has to make sure he doesn’t die to bloodthirsty monsters, deadly dark chasms, and morally bankrupt humans along the way. Good thing this world operates like the RPGs he’s always played, complete with magic powers and a creepy System keeping tabs on him.
Only one problem: losing means death, and there are no restarts. The only way out is to win, and the only way to win is to spill blood. Both others and his own.
At least, that’s what the mysterious voice stuck in Jay’s head keeps telling him. A voice whose presence might be against the rules...
This book contains a lot of violence, mentions of sexual assault, and people in a bad situation doing what they must to survive. Reader discretion advised.

About the book
When the world ends, some men find redemption in the ashes.
Aiden Wyatt was a drug dealer, a thief, and a lost cause—until the System descended on Earth.

About the book
Thorn was all set to finally climb the tower, only to stumble upon a mysterious new enemy who appears to break the rules as easily as he does.
There is no question that the Harald of Terminus, a madman bent on ending all existence, must be stopped, but Thorn’s first order of business is dealing with a furious dragon emperor leading his mind-controlled minions to war.
Cast into the Abyssal Lands by the Harald’s manipulations, Thorn stumbles upon a plot of terrifying proportions that could shake the foundation of the Endless Worlds, forever cementing the Dragon Emperor's rule. Worse, the Devil Legions and the Dragon Empire have joined forces to wage war and Thorn is going to need every ounce of his strength to stop them. Forging new alliances and calling on old allies for help, Thorn takes the fight to his enemies, hoping to disrupt them before the Endless Worlds are drowned in the tide of war.
Warborn is the ninth book in the Tower Series, a GameLit/LitRPG series from Seth Ring, bestselling author of Battle Mage Farmer and The Titan series, set in the world of Nova Terra and starring the unforgettable Thorn.

This fantasy examines ambition, moral compromise, and the cost of winning.

About the book
The Empire stands triumphant.
For twenty years the Dread Empress has ruled over the lands that were once the Kingdom of Callow, but behind the scenes of this golden age threats to the empire are rising.
The nobles of the Wasteland weave their plots behind pleasant smiles while rebellion stirs beyond Peren Woods, for dreams of crowns were buried in shallow graves. The greatest danger of all lies to the west, where the First Prince of Procer has restored order at last: her people sundered, she ponders if a crusade might not be the way to secure her reign.
Yet none of this matters, for in the heart of the conquered lands the most dangerous man alive sat across an orphan girl and offered her a knife.
Her name is Catherine Foundling, and she has a plan.
