Frank Merriwell's brother

Burt L. Standish

Sinopse

When Frank Merriwell, in a great hurry, flung open the door of his room and sprang in, he was little prepared for the reception that followed.
From all sides they leaped upon him, clutched him, surrounded him, hemmed him in. There were exactly thirteen of them, and he was alone and unarmed.
Never before had Merriwell quailed in the face of odds, but now he took one look at them and then flung up his hands, crying:
“I surrender!”
They clutched those uplifted hands and dragged them down. They grasped him about the body, around the neck, anywhere, everywhere. Howls of joy arose.
“We’ve got you!” they yelled.
Then they wrenched at his hands, one after another, as if trying to tear his arms from their sockets. Then they thumped him on the back, the shoulders, and the chest.
On the outskirts of the attacking mob one wild-eyed fellow fought like a demon to get at Merry.

Taking My Reincarnation One Step...

KAYA

Even as a working adult, Sarasa Ichinokura suffers from an unshakable fatigue that’s plagued her since childhood. She goes to bed one night, exhausted from her office job, and encounters a goddess(?) who informs her that her perpetual lack of energy is actually due to a deficit of “mana.” Then, without any further explanation or time to process what’s happening to her, Sarasa is thrust into a fantasy world!
 
She awakens in the body of a ten-year-old girl in a strange land filled with flying beasts and oversized wolves. She accordingly prepares for the worst, but a monster hunter named Nelly takes her in. The hitch is...now that Sarasa finally has the energy to do everything she wants to, being cooped up in a cabin is just no fun! She seeks to stand on her own in this scary new world—and that’s going to mean learning magic.
 
It may be slow going, but Sarasa knows what to do—the best way to take her reincarnation is one step at a time!

Rejected alpha’s luna queen

Jesse Shackelford

They called her “healer’s whelp.” Low-rank. Tainted. Unfit to stand near a crown.But on the night of the Moon-Moot, Eira Thorne feels the mate-bond snap into place like a brand—hot, undeniable, sacred under old law. For one heartbeat, she thinks the pack will finally be forced to see her.Then Rurik Blackthorne looks her dead in the eye and forsakes her.He names Lady Isolde Ashriver as his Luna-to-be. He casts Eira beyond the Briarline with no shelter, no mercy, and a bond-scar that still pulls at her ribs like a chain.Exile should mean distance.Instead, it wakes something ancient.A pale crescent blooms on Eira’s wrist—quiet as a bruise, sharp as a promise—and suddenly the shadows beyond the border aren’t random. They’re waiting. Hunting. Closing in for what her blood might be worth.With danger snapping at her heels and truth buried under pack politics, Eira has only one way forward: stop begging to be chosen… and start taking back what was stolen.Because if she really is a queen, they don’t get to throw her away.
