A Knot of Plots

Egathentale

Beschreibung

Teen romantic hero Leo Dunning contends with supernatural forces in an artificial-reality narrative that's quickly spinning out of control.
Leonard Dunning insists he's not the heroic leader his friends—and enemies—think he is. Originally an amnesiac assigned the role of the goofy best friend of the hero in a paranormal/harem comedy/battle school storyline, Leo's meddling with predetermined events has inadvertently caused the narrative to acknowledge him as a protagonist . . . and prepare a new set of challenges tailor-made for him to grapple with.
Now, the mad scientist known as Dr. Robatto is wreaking havoc with his robot army; the monster huntress Rinne with her bloodthirsty, possessed sword Onikiri keeps dragging Leo out on patrols to exterminate otherworldly creatures; the scheming arch-mage of the island has his eyes on Leo and his friends; and Judy Sennoma and Eleanor Dracis—the girls who've stolen Leo's heart—are getting impatient because he has yet to make any serious moves on either one of them.
As if multiple nemeses and a polyamorous relationship weren't enough to juggle, Leo's troubles increase exponentially when his forgotten identity finally catches up with him. And when all the schemes and narrative plots come to a head, Leo will have to strain his body, mind, and teleportation abilities to the limit just to keep up.
The third volume of the hit slice-of-life romantic-comedy series—with more than two million views on Royal Road—now available on Audible and wherever ebooks are sold!

My Primal Mate

Susan Trombley

Ariyah 
 
 
 
My new next-door neighbor looks like a demon—and acts like one too! 
 
 
 
Most of the Akrellians now living on Earth after saving humanity from an alien invasion are super polite. The red-scaled, black-quilled behemoth living next door is a notable exception, and he doesn't bother to return my enthusiastic greeting with anything more than an impatient growl. 
 
 
 
But I know the secret to making friends, and that secret is a dozen red velvet cupcakes with cute monster faces on them, just in time for Halloween. The grumpy, smoldering volcano of a male might pretend he's not interested in my offering, but he can't resist my sweet treats for long. 
 
 
 
Of course, he might just be too hot to handle, because this Akrellian serves a darker Dancer, and the drumbeats from his primal song draw me to the domineering and demanding male while his wild howl thrills my blood—even as it sends me fleeing. When he gives chase, I try not to reveal how eager I am to be caught. 
 
 
 
It's just too bad that he believes I'm an assassin who tried to poison him. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.

A Funny Man's Dream

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Dostoyevsky was never shy to play with the issues of human mind in his work. A funny man's dream is one of his shorter pieces that, nevertheless, lacks none of the profundity or the mind-bending power of his larger works.

After the End - A...

Joshua V. Scher

As a Doomsday prepper, he's ready to survive the apocalypse. But what about the men hunting him?
 

 
It turns out Addison was right: The world as he knew it did come to an end by means of a killer virus.
 

 
He’s by himself now, near what was Sicily, Oklahoma, tending to a wilted vegetable garden, foraging for rabbits, and eking out not quite enough water from a dried-up well. It’s time to move. Uncle Izzy, whom he’s decided to seek out in his survivalist cabin hundreds of miles away, had prepared him well for an apocalypse - all but for the loneliness.
 

 
The plan is simple. Gun. Bow. Bike. Go.
 

 
If he could just make it across the state, then maybe...
 

 
But the virus didn’t quite kill everybody. And humanity isn't all that humane anymore.
 

 
Ransacked and run-down, Addison learns all too quickly that hope is the enemy and trust is a liability. Survival has its costs.
 

 
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man might be king, but in the land of the dead, he’s bait.
 

 
The literary bleakness of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road meets the survivalist thrills of Gary Paulsen’s Hatchet in this harrowing novel from Joshua V. Scher. Now a motion picture from Shout! Studios and 1157 Productions, out August 17, 2021.
