Some things nest where the light can’t reach. When a meteorite crashes into the woods outside Hollow’s Edge, no one in Black Veil County expects what comes next. People vanish. Others change. And the red fog rolls in thicker every night. At the heart of it all walks Ma Barnett, barefoot and smiling, her gray shawl stitched with silk and secrets. As Hollow’s Edge falls quiet, and the ground pulses with new life, one truth becomes clear: They're hungry...

It is the sixth century. The Romans have been gone for over 100 years, and Britannia is sinking into darkness. Kingdoms clash, and invaders flood the shores – the Jutes, the Angles, and now the bloodthirsty Saxons. Only Uther Pendragon has kept the West safe, defying, too, the rising tide of Christianity. But now, Uther is dead. And if the West falls, all of Britannia will follow. Deep in a secluded valley, hidden from the world, Arthur and Morgan have grown to adulthood under the care of their foster parents.

Nicht viele Menschen bekommen eine zweite Chance – geschweige denn ein zweites Leben. Sechs Jahre lang war Micai in der Einrichtung eingesperrt gewesen – einem Gefängnis für Übernatürliche, einem Ort voller Schmerz, an dem sie Experimente erleiden musste, die sie an den Rand des Wahnsinns getrieben hatten. Doch als die Mauern in Flammen aufgehen, erwacht Micai nicht im Tod – sondern in ihrer eigenen Vergangenheit und einer anderen Art von Hölle: zurück an der Wrenside Academy. Diesmal kennt sie die Intrigen und Lügen – und die Gesichter ihrer Verräter.

After Nancy was cast out of the Halls of the Dead and forced to enroll at Eleanor West's School for Wayward Children, she never believed she'd find her door again, and when she did, she didn't look back.

A darkness has descended on the Halls, and the living statues who populate them are dying at the hands of the already dead.

As one of the infants taken from Alfheimr, I spent twelve lifetimes hidden away in the tunnels of the Resistance with a Lunar Witch to watch over me. I knew the truth of my existence and when the Veil fell, my discovery became inevitable. When the God of the Dead brought his human mate back to the tunnels after revealing the truth of his identity, he did so with the intent to return me to Mab. The Queen of Air and Darkness has waited centuries to find me on the other side of the Veil of Flesh and Bone, and she had sent her favorite weapon to do it.

In the waning years of the Azalea Dynasty, the emperor is dying, the land consumed by famine, and poetry magic has been lost to all except the most powerful. Wei Yin is desperate. After the death of her sister, with her family and village on the brink of starvation, she will do anything to save those she loves.

There are Lovecraft stories that roar with cosmic terror — ancient gods, unknowable entities, the madness of knowledge. And then there is What the Moon Brings. This short, haunting piece is not a tale in the traditional sense, but a dream — or rather, a descent. It belongs to that strange and shadowy corner of Lovecraft’s imagination where logic erodes, and we are left adrift in a realm shaped by mood, moonlight, and the whisper of things not quite seen. First published in 1923, What the Moon Brings reads like a surreal reverie drenched in symbolism.

In the wake of the cataclysmic collapse of the grand city of Altburg, heart of the Kingdom of Lochmeria, demons roam free in the desecrated streets. They hunt those unfortunate enough to remain trapped within the city walls, as well as those fool enough to dare plunder the vast riches left behind.

Three sexy-but-psycho monsters. The witch they're determined to protect. And a high-stakes heist about to go very wrong… I've made some pretty questionable choices in my life, but summoning the dark goddess to save my sisters? That was just plain stupid. Now I’m in her debt, and goddesses don’t exactly do payment plans. She wants the blood of the dark fae warlord of Midnight, a realm of exiles where the sun never rises and torture is a competitive sport. It’s a death trap only three men have ever escaped—my newly appointed escorts.

Per sedici anni, Selestra è rimasta intrappolata nella torre sulla Montagna Fluttuante preparandosi a prendere il posto della madre come strega del re, e manifestare i poteri per predire la morte dei richiedenti alla Festa delle Predizioni. Come soldato dell’esercito reale, Nox è un candidato improbabile per la Festa, ma spinto dalla vendetta è determinato a rubare l’immortalità al re e a uccidere le sue streghe, partendo proprio da Selestra. Tuttavia, quando lei gli tocca la mano per la sua prima predizione, i loro destini si intrecciano e la morte marchia le anime di entrambi.

Up until now, Montana's gotten by pretending he's a regular guy. Well, a regular, overpowered, god-defeating guy who maybe just learned his hair is in all the wrong places. But the big city is calling, and in order to succeed there, Montana must actually prove himself a deserving duke. If Glaton finds him lacking, Coggeshall could be forced into even further isolation. But if Glaton falls in love with him, the regular guy from Motor City could end up with limitless power, in charge of it all. And just like that, the fate of the entire Empire is in Montana's hands.

Pero antes de eso necesito encontrar respuestas a las incógnitas sobre mis antepasados. Respuestas que podrían revelar quién es el verdadero monstruo entre nosotros.

For weeks, he stood by my side, twisting his words into pretty half-truths. He enraptured me with his smooth temptation, leaving no corner of my being untouched. He consumed my mind and my body, then finally claimed my heart for himself. But Caelum’s true identity is terrifying enough to bring me to my knees. Then, I discovered the truth of who he is. Caldris is whispered in the Nothrek wind. The legend we only speak of with hushed words, in shuttered rooms, for fear of drawing his wrath once again.

Say hello to the new and improved Clyde Hatchett...who's only a level-four nothing. He's on a (seemingly never-ending) quest to get back to his life in Glaton. And now, all that stands in his way are the Empire-hating Carchedonians, a death cult, and a traitorous party member. Oh, and a mythical city that very probably doesn't exist.
