The Way Ahead - A LitRPG Adventure

Kaleb England, NorskDaedalus

Summary

A physics student's talents are put to the test when he's transported to a world of magic and alchemical mysteries in the first book of a new fantasy series.
Fact one: Edwin Maxlin has fallen out of the sky and landed in a strange forest. Fact two: messages keep appearing in his line of vision, informing him that he has leveled up in various Skills—including some truly thrilling abilities such as Walking and Breathing. Fact three: this is most definitely not Earth.
Now Edwin, one-time student of material physics, must make his way through an unknown world, collecting Skills, upgrading his Class, embarking on life Paths, and most importantly, staying alive. But surviving in the land of Joriah isn't as simple as increasing mana and learning how to become a Firestarter.
Edwin soon finds himself going toe-to-toe with an angry clan of dwarves and their even more disgruntled ruler, Lord S'fashkchlil. It will take all of Edwin's wit, ingenuity, mathematical know-how, and charm to form new alliances, navigate a complicated political landscape, and keep from getting enslaved by Clan Blackstone. Fortunately, his otherworldly expertise is even more valuable than Edwin realizes . . .
Filled with humor, adventure, and unforgettable characters, The Way Ahead is a must-read for fans of epic fantasy, role-playing games, and the scientific method.

The Full Moon

David Neth

Kathy and her sister, Samantha, have always been a team. Throughout their time as witches, they’ve taken out more than their share of bad guys. But after Kathy meets Will, who she learns is a demonic Dark Knight, her loyalties begin to change. 
Meanwhile, Samantha doesn’t trust Will or his intentions. Still, Kathy can’t help but feel tempted by the dark side as she falls deeper in love with Will. Crossing over would give Kathy the freedom to do whatever she wanted with her magic. No rules. No limitations. It would also mean breaking the bond she has always shared with her sister, who has made it clear that she wants nothing to do with the dark side. 
When Will proposes they take over the underworld, Kathy loves the idea of having power. But it also leaves her with a choice that will change her life: abandon her family and the life she has always known, or give up the love of her life forever. 
The Full Moon is the first book in the Under the Moon series, which is a part of the Art of Magic universe, containing the Lost By Magic and the Coven series.

The Invisible Man

H. G. Wells

"I am all men—and I am no man. I am the Invisible Man."

In the dead of winter, a mysterious stranger arrives at a quiet inn in the village of Iping, his face swathed in bandages and his eyes hidden behind dark goggles. This is Griffin, a brilliant scientist who has discovered the secret to making human tissue transparent. But his breakthrough is his undoing. Trapped in a state of invisibility and hunted by a world that fears what it cannot see, Griffin's initial dream of power curdles into a violent obsession. As he attempts to establish a "Reign of Terror," the story becomes a pulse-pounding race against a man who can strike from nowhere.

The Anatomy of an Anti-Hero: Griffin is not your typical Victorian protagonist. He is irritable, brilliant, and increasingly sociopathic. Wells uses invisibility as a metaphor for the ultimate freedom from social accountability. Without a face to recognize or a body to imprison, Griffin believes he is above morality, leading to a chilling study of how absolute power (or the illusion of it) corrupts the soul.

A Village Under Siege: The novel masterfully shifts from the "weird tale" atmosphere of the Iping countryside to a high-stakes manhunt across England. Through the characters of the bumbling tramp Thomas Marvel and the rational Dr. Kemp, Wells explores the societal reaction to the "invisible threat." The tension builds to a climactic confrontation that remains one of the most memorable endings in the history of science fiction.

Witness the terror of the unseen. Purchase "The Invisible Man" today and confront the darkness of the human heart.

Dragonscale Armor Pierced by...

Hang Nguyen

Clad in dragonscale armor across the war-torn plains of Scaldrak, where scaled warriors defy arrows with plated might and bardic charms lure with lyrical spells, warrior Drakon succumbs to vulnerability from minstrel Lira's cupid-tipped songs. Their pierce, arrowed in charmed vows, breaches the fortress—or weakens the scales to enemy siege. As they march through armor-forged camps and charm-echoed battlefields, besieged by scale hunters and silent rivals, Drakon's warrior steel softens under Lira's melodic siege, revealing a dragonscale saga of charmed strength. When a dulled arrow unleashes berserker rage, they must charm the pierce to mend the breach. In the clash of scaled vulnerabilities, where every plate guards a wound and every lyric heals the soul, their love becomes the arrow that fortifies the heart.

Empire of Shadows

Jacquelyn Benson

Nice Victorian ladies don’t run off to find legendary lost cities. 
One trifling little arrest shouldn’t have cost Ellie Mallory her job, but it’s only the latest in a line of injustices facing any educated woman with archaeological ambitions. 
When Ellie stumbles across the map to a mysterious ancient city, she knows she’s holding her chance to revolutionize Pre-Colombian history. There’s just one teensy complication. A ruthless villain wants it, and Ellie is all that stands in his way. 
To race him to the ruins—and avoid being violently disposed of—she needs the help of maverick surveyor Adam Bates, a snake-wrangling rogue who can’t seem to keep his dratted shirt on. 
But there’s more than Ellie’s scholarly reputation (and life) on the line. Her enemies aren’t just looters. They’re after an arcane secret rumored to lie in the heart of the ruins, a mythical artifact with a power that could shake the world. 
Between stealing trousers, plummeting over waterfalls, and trying not to fall in love with her machete-wielding partner, will Ellie be able to stop the oracle of a lost empire from falling into the wrong hands? 
Empire of Shadows is the first book in Jacquelyn Benson’s smart, swashbuckling Raiders of the Arcana series, narrated by twenty-year acting veteran Alex Picard. Read it now and dive into a rip-roaring historical fantasy adventure perfect for fans of What the River Knows and The Mummy.
