Lukas Aguilar used to think he knew everything. Mainly because he believed only what he could prove for himself. No gods, fate, or any such nonsense for him. But that seems like a lifetime ago. Because when an earthquake destroyed his earthly home, he suddenly found himself in a dark dungeon world where gods and monsters are all too real—and supreme goddess Inanna had taken up residence in his mind. Upon learning the rules of his new existence—levels, skills, abilities—Lukas fought his way from victory to victory. That is, until he came up against an anomaly that got him killed.

Lukas Aguilar does not believe in gods. Despite—or perhaps because of—his deep knowledge of mythology and lore, Lukas has always valued what is practical, factual, and verifiable, eschewing faith for what he can see right in front of him. That is, until an earthquake destroys his home, and he wakes up in a dark cavern infested with bloodthirsty and unearthly creatures, wielding strange powers and hearing an even stranger voice in his head claiming to be a goddess.

Shuffle studying, school work, and sports practice, all while being a teenager? The answer is simple: she has no emotions.

Pero quizá ninguno haya visto su realidad invadida por la ficción como Javier Marías, ni a tantas personas comportarse como personajes suyos, ni se habrá diluido tanto entre sus propias páginas, ni se habrá convertido en el heredero de un reino legendario que sin embargo figura en los mapas.

Emelda made a mistake she'll regret for the rest of her life—and it's put Kane in danger. Now, she has to right that wrong, and time is running out.

If Kane and Emelda can convince Fineman to reveal Cal's hideaway, they will finally get the solution they seek.

Now, Kane is searching for the Biting Man to get the answers he needs to become a wolf again and return to his pack. The only one who knows Kane's secret is a troubled young woman named Emelda.

Twenty-two-year-old Madeline Bennet is certain of three things: she's sick and tired of being kidnapped, her love life is a royal mess, and something is wrong with her magic. Madeline is fabled to be the only woman alive who can open the thresholds to Aparia, but there's a tiny problem—she can't see the magic to unlock them, and time is running out. The shadow creatures are creeping out of hiding once more, the Entitled are furious she slipped through their fingers, and the Royal Guild has discovered her existence. At least her knights have her back… mostly.

It's been a rough couple of days for twenty-two-year-old Madeline Bennet, the newest (and most reluctant) member of Gray's renowned team of knight marshals. Not only did her shadow creatures create a forest fire that's burning down western Colorado, but she has no idea where to find the thresholds so she can send the beasts back to the land from which they came (or even how to open them). On top of that, her parents have figured out something is amiss with her magic, Rafe has taken off on a wild pixie chase, and the status of her relationship is seated in the region of "it's complicated."

Welcome to Bucky's Out of this World Restaurant! Finally able to live a peaceful life, Amelia decides to open a restaurant in Wolfwater. She picks up a chicken as a mascot, recruits a world-renowned [Chef] as her first employee, and ends up even convincing an angel to work for her. Meanwhile, Noele continues her training with Garron, preparing for any threat that is to come. And the threats will come. All throughout Vacuos, the Sect of the Abyssal Thorns spread their roots while the [Hero King] Kallistus Kal continues scheming. But Amelia doesn't care for any of that.

Madeline Bennet has a quartet of knight marshals at her beck and call, and they're all driving her mad. It's only been a week since she was kidnapped, and Rafe's already coddling her, Gray's turned into a surly taskmaster, Eric's trying to steal her cat, and Jonathan is entirely too charming for anyone's good. Only one of them knows her secret—a secret she plans to take to the grave. Unfortunately, that plan falls through the moment a creature of shadows shows up on her doorstep.

If twenty-two-year-old Madeline Bennet knows anything for certain, it’s that she’ll get her desired apprenticeship with the Royal Guild. After all, her family is well-connected, and she’s all but dating the grand duke’s nephew. But Madeline does not get her apprenticeship. Instead, she finds herself working with a trio of knight marshals, traipsing around the US, arresting all manner of magical miscreants. If tracking trolls, running from murderous pixies, and stumbling into a dangerous web of criminal activity isn’t enough to keep her occupied, there’s also Gray, Jonathan, and Eric.

Pace è una parola che la Bambina non concepisce. La sente usare qualche volta a scuola "quando la Maestra ordina: 'Fate la pace', che vuol dire stringere la mano a un Antipatico o addirittura uno Stronzo che durante l'intervallo ti ha pestato perché hai risposto con un calcio alla sua tirata di trecce. Macché pace. Le Bambine sono fatte per la Guerra". Con questo spirito battagliero e dissacrante, la Bambina affronta il mondo dei Grandi.
