Summary

Three tales--one past, one present, one future--explore what it is to love and just how far someone would go for the love of another. 
The Past: Lady Daphne Collister is unimpressed with her fellow magic-wielding debutantes. She finds their methods overbearing. Surely there was a better way of finding a noble husband in Regency England? 
The Present: Ellie loves Josh. Josh barely knows Ellie exists. For her, it is not enough to sit behind him at school every day. What must Ellie do to get Josh to notice her? How about a love spell? After all, what could go wrong? 
The Future: Leo and his co-worker Katerina have fallen in love. Secretly, of course, for office romance is illegal and all marriages are strictly regulated. There's only one exception: the Valentine Raffle. But to win at love, Leo and Katerina may need to cheat the system...
Available since: 03/25/2016.

    From the visionary Blizzard Entertainment art director, the collected humorous adventures of the brawling, elf-hating, pirate dwarf, Captain Grimbeard. 
     
    Captain Grimbeard is right ticked off! Our most noble dwarf (and hero of this story) awoke from a night of merriment to find that he had mysteriously traveled one thousand years into the future. On top of that, he also discovered that the world he once knew was now ruled by the most detestable and dandyish of all creatures—those annoying elves. Oh, and did I mention that every dwarf in existence was somehow wiped off the crust of the world by those aforementioned scoundrels?  
     
    Well, not every dwarf.  
     
    A collection of bawdy and boisterous short stories featuring all original artwork by legendary Blizzard Entertainment art director Samwise Didier, this tome follows Captain Grimbeard as he organizes underground fight clubs, boxes elven bounty hunters, ducks amorous giants, and most important—searches for a place to empty his beer-filled bladder. 
     
    Perfect for fans of Adventure Time! 
     
    “Grimbeard has something for everyone! A lavishly illustrated collection of adventures that is outrageous, irreverent, and quite often, downright enlightening.” —Micky Neilson, bestselling author of Ashbringer and Pearl of Pandaria 
     
    “Didier has outdone himself with this impressive display of both his artistic and literary skills. I've never been much of a dwarf guy, but the tenacious exploits of Samwise’s endearing Grimbeard has won me over.” —Gerald Brom, award-winning author of Lost Gods

    Charity’s luck never ran strong because her original configuration was unstable. Her handlers designed experiments to fix the problem, but only made it worse. Sick to death of living under their thumb, she jumps at a chance to escape. She’s barely settled in as a CIA special operative—a role where she can put her augmented mind and body to use—when her wobbly genetics decompensate. 
    Tony’s a freak—a genetically altered superhuman waging war against the government. He snaps up an offer of amnesty, walking away from his role as a genetic researcher to work for the CIA. When Charity collapses in a severe seizure, he labors to save her life, but nothing’s working. In a last ditch effort, he joins his mind to hers and discovers he wants her more than he’s ever wanted anything. Only problem is she hates every single male freak for how they treated women in the compounds. 
    Charity recovers from her medical crisis, but all she can think about is Tony. Furious, determined to never let anyone like him near her, she blocks him from her mind, but he seeps back in anyway. Loving someone like Tony is a huge risk, a gamble that could throw her already volatile genes into a tailspin. 
    Knowing all that, why the hell is she considering it?
