Quantum Hughes is the type of guy who doesn’t back down from a fight.

Trapped in a VRMMORPG with a limitless inventory list, Quantum lives his days on repeat, fighting the same killer NPCs and hashing out the same gritty story lines again and again.

Then he receives a message from an actual human player, his first message from a real person in two years, which sparks an epic adventure across multiple online fantasy worlds.

But everything isn’t fun and games for Quantum Hughes.

Suddenly he’s being hunted by a murder guild known as the Reapers; suddenly he’s no longer the toughest guy on the block; suddenly, his real world body is no longer safe.

Adjusting to the real world isn’t easy for Quantum Hughes.

Instead of focusing on his recovery, he takes an assignment alongside Frances Euphoria to a virtual entertainment dreamworld called Steam, in search of a Proxima developer. True to his nature, Quantum acts out of turn, causing the entire world to turn against him. This gives him two options: return to The Loop for help, or try and hold his own. There is also the problem of the Reapers, who have appeared in Steam ready to hunt him down or worse – kill him.

The real world, The Loop, Steam – three worlds with their own rules, their own enemies.

The thin line between dream and reality is pixelated in this exciting LitRPG series!

Die, reincarnate, repeat. It’s been a long fifteen hundred years…

Reborn wizard Emma Hale has just one focus in her life, or rather lives: Track down the present incarnation of the legendary King Arthur, fend off the shadow creatures that hound him for as long as she can, and break the spell that binds their souls in this morbid cycle.

If only she had a better idea how she’d cast that spell in the first place. And if only Arthur’s current host wasn’t so cocky yet distractingly good-looking. Because Emma is falling even harder for the man she can’t have.

When a fae mercenary with power to rival Emma’s puts her king in his sights, Emma burns through all her tricks just to stay one step ahead. Now her only chance is to find some way to destroy the mercenary before he and his army of dark forces destroy Arthur. If she can’t, this death might be their last.

My name is Roy Morgan, and I’m not your average Atlanta cop. For one, most of them don’t have to kill people to stay alive. I do. It’s a half-demon thing. Yep, that’s right, half-demon. It’s awesome, especially since I’m half-warlock too, and those two sides don’t much get along.

Still, that and a buck will get you a candy bar. So it’s all good.

Or at least it was.

See, I had this dumb idea to stop a robbery in progress and have myself a snack. Turns out these weren’t your run of the mill robbers. No, these were demonic slavers, there to capture the district attorney and sell her off to the highest bidding demon in Hell.

Now if I want to stop them, I’m going to have to fight my way through a city full of hellfire-flinging, gun-toting, spell-weaving demons.

My name is Roy Morgan, and I think I’ll have seconds.

My name is Roy Morgan, and while being a half-demon warlock doesn’t pay the bills, it’s a nice perk.

Or at least it was.

Now bodies are falling from the sky, someone is taking control of supernatural powerhouses and using them up like this is the expendables, and if that wasn’t enough, some A-hole is trying to open a gateway to the deepest darkest pits of Hell.

Let me just say, if that bastard gets out, we’re all totally screwed because what’s in Hell, is supposed to stay in Hell.

My name is Roy Morgan, and this time, if I want to save my friends, I might need to let the demon side of me come out and play.

The scientific method: Love doesn’t obey it. Secrets skew the results.

Renowned aetherist Edward Bailey has a strict routine built on scientific predictability. Any deviation short circuits his carefully cultivated balance.

At a faculty meeting, the beautiful Iris McTavish appears in her famous archaeologist father’s place, and Edward is forced to accompany her on an undercover expedition to find an ancient element that will harness aether’s power.

Iris is determined to prove her worth as a scholar and save the financially ruined house of McTavish. But keeping her secret is difficult when she’s faced with Edward’s compelling gaze and unrelenting logic.

Amid clockwork spy devices and threats from a mysterious order who want to keep their secrets, Edward and Iris’s attraction sparks. But betrayal awaits them, and the discovery they seek could grind their hearts to pieces.

Everyone wears a mask. But the deadliest secrets hide in plain sight.

Marie St. Jean’s acting talent comes with a price. When she reluctantly steps into a role abandoned by the leading lady, she encounters a ghostly spirit who promises to fix her affliction.

Violinist Johann Bledsoe thought he’s left disgrace and his gambling debt behind in England, but a murder makes him fear he’s been exposed. Though his heart resonates for the ravishing Marie, he knows that once the siege is over, he’ll have to keep running.

Under the baleful eye of steam-powered ravens, more murders drive Marie and Johann closer to the truth of what lurks below the stage and what dangers hang over their heads. Their only hope could lie in exposing their darkest secrets—and surrendering to the Eros Element in a way that could push them irretrievably close to madness.
