Summary

What hope have so few against so many?
 
Halvaria. The very name conjures images of a vast empire, determined to rule the world of Eiddenwerthe.
 
For over a thousand years, their mighty armies have crushed all who opposed them. Now, it’s poised to complete the Great Dream, the conquest of the entire Continent. Their legions stand ready to march, the navy prepared to sweep their enemies from the seas. All that remains is to secure their western border by subjugating an upstart kingdom of mercenaries.
 
With the threat of Halvaria looming, Merceria is forced to send warriors to their allies, leaving them with little to safeguard their borders. Barely united by a fragile peace, the four kingdoms battle civil unrest that threatens to destroy everything from within, leaving them ripe for invasion.
 
There is no turning back. The might of the world’s greatest empire lies on the cusp of annihilating its newest enemy! Merceria will do everything in its power to survive, but even that might not be enough.
 
The eyes of the empire are upon Merceria in Enemy of the Crown, Paul J Bennett’s shocking twelfth book in the Heir to the Crown Series.
 
Prepare for the inevitable clash of arms as you plunge into your copy of Enemy of the Crown!

    Handcuffs chaining her to a sterile hospital bed. 
Weird occurrences that no one can explain. 
No memories of who she is or what came before. 
They say she’s been a patient at the Blackbriar Institute since childhood, that she’s sick, alone, and nobody’s coming for her. 
But someone’s already here—a mysterious man in her therapy group with unfathomable pain in his dark eyes—and she can’t deny her draw to him, no matter how much he tries to keep her away. 
He doesn’t speak, but he seems to know something the others do not. Is she really sick, or might it be magic? What other dark secrets hide behind Blackbriar’s gates, and will she ever find a way to break free? 
Equal parts puzzle and page-turner, Of Snow and Roses is a modern take on the classic fairy tale Snow White & Rose Red. We promise you’ve never read anything quite like it before.

    A collection of eight stories, Digital Extremities shines a spotlight on ordinary people in a callous yet hopeful future. Set across small towns and remote islands, where neon flickers against old buildings and oaks, this collection paints a unique view of a traditionally cyberpunk setting. 
In 2089, a woman miscarries and seeks a way to find peace amidst overwhelming grief. Years later, a young man must find a way to pay rent outside of his job at the glassblowing studio. A pair of students, excited to go to college, install new hardware that promises to improve their cognitive functions. A private investigator searches for a missing child who has a reputation for embarking on risky adventures. Each tale is shaped by love, loss, and perseverance, weaving a vision of life outside of the megacities. 
"'Touching' and 'cyberpunk' might not often intersect, but they do with Digital Extremities." (Timothy Hickson of Hello Future Me, author of A Catalogue for the End of Humanity and On Writing and Worldbuilding Vol. I-III.) 
"A beautifully written collection that explores the intersection of technology and everyday life ... these are elegant, poignant stories told with organic heart." (Suzan Palumbo, author of Countess and Skin Thief: Stories) 
"Adam Bassett displays a clear talent for world-building and a keen eye for character." (T.R. Napper, author of Neon Leviathan, 36 Streets, and Aliens: Bishop)

    “A work that leads us to the very rim of the unknown.” –H.P. Lovecraft   What does the edge of early 19th-century reality look like? Step into The House on the Borderland, where Hodgson's genius blurs reality and fiction at the crossroads of Victorian Gothic moodiness and new-age science. This newly refined edition, with insights from horror icon Jonathan Maberry, defines a genre.    The story begins with the discovery of a manuscript amidst odd ruins.

It’s a work that reshapes reality itself, a stormy night must-read for those seeking a blend of Stephen King's thrill and Lovecraft's depth.    An oddly inspiring journey of weird science fiction awaits you. Rediscover a classic masterpiece that continues to mesmerize readers today.
