    After crossing Sionne off his revenge list and sealing the tremor-causing interdimensional portal for good, Light returns to the Abyss, where his debrief is interrupted by news from Mei. She tells Light they’ve found his younger sister, Yume, who went missing after someone—or something—destroyed their hometown. It turns out she is still in the Human Kingdom after being rescued by Princess Lilith, who kept her on as a maid. While Light makes plans to bring Yume to the Abyss, he reminisces about his life since they last saw each other. He recounts the days after he was betrayed, going from merely surviving the Abyss with Mei to pushing past his limits, summoning more overpowered allies, and eventually transforming the world’s more notorious dungeon into his very own hidden kingdom. When Light finally meets Princess Lilith himself, they find they share a passion for improving humanity’s lot—but a dark secret plagues her kingdom.

    The Masters hosted by the Dragonute Empire have grown increasingly concerned about their lack of knowledge surrounding the emergence of the Great Tower as well as the sudden disappearances of former members of the Concord of the Tribes, so they hatch a scheme to find out who exactly they are up against. Their plan is to get the Beastfolk Federation to declare war on the Great Tower while they watch on from afar to learn about their opponents without the need to reveal themselves. For their part, the beastfolk have their own reasons for going to war with the Great Tower. Light’s lieutenant, Ellie—aka the Wicked Witch of the Tower—has successfully conquered the elves and the dark elves, freeing the human slaves suffering under their heels in the process. Not wishing to share the same fate, the beastfolk are determined to destroy the Great Tower. But how can a relatively weak nation fight a sorceress who has her own personal army of dragons? By fighting dirty, that’s how.

    For Light and his allies in the Great Tower, the war with the Beastfolk Federation proved to be little more than a bump in the road, but the repercussions turn out to be more of an issue than originally assumed. News of the tower’s overwhelming victory spreads around the world like wildfire, making a number of the other nations sit up and take notice, and causing the next multinational summit to be brought forward as a matter of urgency. This has the knock-on effect of accelerating the plans of Princess Lilith of the Human Kingdom, who wishes to use the event to overthrow her father and seize the crown so that she can lead her nation toward a brighter future. However, she cannot accomplish her goals alone, so she comes to Light for help. Meanwhile, the manner of the Great Tower’s victory over the Beastfolk Federation’s army attracts the attention of another cabal of powerful Masters, who are quick to send out one of their own to investigate the source of the tower’s remarkable power.

    “Mate.”"That ‘stupid whore’," I hiss, voice low and venomous, "is my mate." 
     
    The word stops Aurora Valentine cold, her fingers tightening around the tray. Caleb Blackburn, the school’s most notorious bad boy and her worst tormentor, stares at her with an intensity that makes her heart race—and not just from fear.
     
    Trapped in a life of misery, Aurora endures her alcoholic father’s abuse, relentless bullying at school, and harassment at work. Her only reason to keep going is her five-year-old brother, Riley, entrusted to her by their dying mother. But when Caleb, the alpha shifter who once made her life hell, declares her his fated mate, everything changes.
     
    Now, Caleb is her fierce protector, sparking jealousy among classmates and drawing dangerous enemies who want Aurora gone. As forbidden desire ignites, Aurora must decide: can she trust the boy who broke her before, or will loving him lead to her destruction, just like her mother’s tragic end?
     
    Perfect for fans of Twilight and The Cruel Prince, this steamy enemies-to-lovers werewolf romance blends alpha shifters, fated mates, and heart-pounding love triangle drama.

    While Light was busy clearing the Abyss of monsters so that he had somewhere to build his new kingdom, his former Concord of the Tribes cohort, Naano, was slowly slipping deeper into despair. Despite being showered with riches and securing a top job in the Dwarf Kingdom’s most distinguished smithy, the talented blacksmith felt the course of events was taking him further and further from his life’s goal: to craft the ultimate legendary weapon. However, an encounter with a human merchant puts him on a new, much darker path to fulfilling his dream, and with his goal now in sight, Naano will stop at nothing to craft a legendary sword, even if it means spilling the blood of countless innocents. Meanwhile, Light’s quest for revenge on Naano leads to him striking a deal with the ruler of the Dwarf Kingdom, King Dagan, but will aiding him to explore some vast, labyrinthine ruins replete with deadly traps and powerful guardians from which no one has returned prove to be an unwise undertaking?
