When two teens discover they have magical powers, they embark on a journey with other teens to a magical school to be trained. Their plans go awry, however, when they are captured by cultists. Alone and novices in magic, the teens struggle to escape and survive in the wilderness and make it to their school alive.

Serena knows a few simple things. She will always be owned by a warlock. She will never have freedom. She will always do what her warlock wishes, regardless of how inane, frivolous, or cruel it is. And if she doesn’t follow the rules, she will be tarnished. Spelled to be bald, inked, and barren for the rest of her life—worth less than the shadow she casts.

Then her ownership is won by a barbarian from another country. With the uncertainty that comes from belonging to a new warlock, Serena questions if being tarnished is really worse than being owned by a barbarian, and tempts fate by breaking the rules. When he looks the other way instead of punishing her, she discovers a new world. The more she ventures into the forbidden, the more she learns of love and a freedom just out of reach. Serena longs for both. But in a society where women are only ever property, hoping for more could be deadly.

LINGERIA: A wondrous world of centaurs, goblins, elves, knights, bounty hunters, giant centipedes, four-armed Yetis, and one wizard. But there is a problem – Lingeria shouldn’t exist. It is the product of acclaimed, and depressed, author Norman Halliday’s imagination.

So, how did Norman come to be sleeping on the couch of one of his fictional characters? And why are Norman’s novels revered as Lingerian scripture? Also, why does all of Lingeria think Norman is God? Actually, who is this cruel wizard that seized power over the land? And what about that giant black cloud that sucks the life out of everything it passes over.

Okay, so there is more than one problem.

Joining Norman to untangle the mess that Lingeria has become is a lonely runt named Roe; Tahra, a moody mercenary; an anonymous goblin; and a blind librarian. This should be as easy as fighting a hairless sewer ape!

It’s time to root for the henchman!

Welcome to Big Little City, a semi-reality town where the bank gets robbed at least once a week, and the superheroes spend more time showboating for the cameras than helping the citizens.

Alice just needs to keep her head down, earn her college degree, and then she’ll be able to escape this crazy place. Too bad a super scary villain just blew up the restaurant where she works and her paycheck along with it.

As luck would have it, one of the town’s most famous villains is holding henchmen auditions. The gig would earn Alice the money she needs; all she has to do is play the “Fame Game” she despises.

Oh, and she has to beat out the other cunning and dangerous competitors who might just kill for the limited henchmen spots.

Is Alice willing to risk life, limb, and her integrity to land the role of a lifetime?
