  In a sprawling London of the 22nd century, the future isn’t a gleaming utopia—it’s a mechanized maze of conformity, class division, and mind control. H.G. Wells’ A Story of the Days to Come imagines a distant tomorrow shaped by technology and ruled by corporate trusts, where the human spirit struggles to endure beneath the weight of progress. 
  Denton and Elizabeth, two young lovers from the dwindling middle class, defy the forces that seek to control their fate—from hypnotists to housing syndicates—searching for something real in a world of artificial dreams. Their journey through futuristic mega-cities, creches, moving walkways, and psychological prisons is both a harrowing love story and a chilling prophecy of what may come. 
  First published in 1899, this visionary tale still resonates today, examining the delicate balance between innovation and humanity, freedom and system. Narrated with gravity and warmth by Brett Carter, Wells' speculative masterpiece is as hauntingly relevant now as it was over a century ago.

  Andrey has finally obtained the first of the five swords he needs to complete the Goddess of Fate's quest. Now his path is taking him to the subterranean city of the Gremlins, Arkem. Gremlins are unpleasant, rascally creatures, with a twisted system of logic and a penchant for limitless chaos. So trying to negotiate with them is always fraught with danger. Fortunately, they happen to worship the mechanisms of the Ancients, which are somehow, mysteriously, connected to Andrey's hidden "Slider" class. This means that Andrey has a chance of recovering the second sword after all. Everything gets complicated, however, when a breach to the Inferno opens in Arkem, through which comes an invasion force headed by none other than Lamia, the Succubus who dreams of shredding Falk into tiny little ribbons. 
   
   
   
  And the real world is full of problems, too—mysterious people keep trying to kidnap Andrey, and he's forced to use his newfound abilities to protect himself. As if that weren't enough, the game menu is now popping up in real life, which is making him question his own sanity. But the main question is: are there other people who've acquired powers from the game like he has? And what will it all lead to in the end?

  The tide of soldiers washed over the Legion shields 
   
   
   
  Buried, the ranks of Legionaries sagged. 
   
   
   
  "Push!" the Legion NCO yelled. 
   
   
   
  Welcome to 264 B.C. 
   
   
   
  Over the grunts and cries of men struggling against the mass of bodies pressing down on them, the Optio bellowed again, "Push!" 
   
   
   
  And the Legion shields rose, rolling back the tide. The higher the shields, the more soldiers slid off, and the straighter the Legionaries stood. One shield tilted back, and a mercenary soldier tumbled behind the ranks. An infantryman stepped back and drove his blade between the soldier's ribs. Once the breach was sealed, he returned to his place in Legion combat line. 
   
   
   
  With the Qart Hadasht Empire controlling the port of Messina and the shipping lanes, one Legionary is sent across the Messina Strait to do the impossible. Open the harbor for the Legion. Once behind enemy lines, Alerio Sisera relies on his style of physical negotiations and brutal diplomacy to complete the mission.

  London: Life has sure kicked me in the teeth. After I'm arrested for stealing, I'm given two choices: prison or get shipped to the human settlement on the planet Tavikh. Since orange isn't my color, I guess off-planet it is. 
   
   
   
  Except when our ship lands we're attacked by vicious aliens. Just as I swear I'm about to die, a towering alien with long, flowing golden hair and muscles rippling beneath gorgeous purple skin saves me. 
   
   
   
  When the battle is over and the good guys seem to have won, my savior tells me I'm his fated mate. I hate to break it to him, but I don't believe in fate.

  Despite her continued denial of the mate bond, the attraction between us flares hotter than our sun. I must do everything to convince her that we are fated to be together.

  She returns to Chubug as a transgender goblin woman, and with the help of her best friend who knew her from before, Trinx lands a job at the Arsonist’s Tender. However, coasting through life as a barmaid leaves her yearning for more than hiding behind dark-colored stockings and creative uses of a gelatinous cube.

Change doesn’t come easy as she hops from scheme to scheme before an alchemist takes her on as an apprentice. Potions and elixirs appear to give her all she is looking for, but Trinx must learn to look beyond herself if she hopes to bring about the change in the warren she ultimately desires. 
  By mixing together the right combination of ingredients and friends into a forged family, Trinx may succeed in building a better home than she ever dreamed possible. 
  Distilled Magic is a slice-of-life fantasy novel featuring a neurodivergent goblin, alchemical magic, dragonroot tea, found family, and the power of change.
