Publisher's summary

In this sweeping epic fantasy comes a story of magic, betrayal, love, and loyalty, where two sisters will clash on opposite sides of a war against the gods.

A divine war shattered the world leaving humanity in ruins. Desperate for hope, they struck a deal with the devious god Kluehnn: He would restore the world to its former glory, but at a price so steep it would keep the mortals indebted to him for eternity. And, as each land was transformed, so too were its people changed into strange new forms—if they survived at all.

Hakara is not willing to pay such a price. Desperate to protect herself, and her sister Rasha, she flees her homeland for the safety of a neighboring kingdom. But when tragedy separates them, Hakara is forced to abandon her beloved sister to an unknown fate.

Alone and desperate for answers on the wrong side of the world, Hakara discovers she can channel the magic from the mysterious gems they are forced to mine for Kluehnn. With that discovery comes another: her sister is alive, and only the rebels plotting to destroy the God Pact can help rescue her.

But only if Hakara goes to war against a god.

Publisher's summary

Control the mines, win a war, get a ship... and fight back.

Time is ticking down in the Empire’s game, and Alan has only five months to establish dominance in all three Metal mines... one of which is controlled by the enemy nation of Britonia. After a daring rescue mission exposes Britonia’s endless supply of high-tech weapons, Alan must now devise a way to beat their superior firepower using his biggest advantage: the bond he shares with his dinosaurs.

To better understand the bond, Alan earns the trust of Lindiwe, his beautiful-and-buff general. Her secrets change everything, and together, Alan believes they can capture one mine, find another, and steal the last mine from a defeated Britonia... all before time runs out. However, making the Top Ten is just the beginning for Tribe Grant. To truly win, he will have to strike at the real enemy: the Empire itself.

But the Empire isn’t going down easy, and they’ve got one final trick up their sleeve.

Volumes 1–4 of Dungeon Delving for Loot and Levels.

Monsters, mysteries, and mayhem—Welcome to Dungeon World!

My name is Danny Abbott. I went to bed thinking I had just another day at the office waiting for me. Instead, I find myself in Dungeon World, a planet-wide RPG-themed amusement park. The monsters are real, the perils are deadly, and the people in charge are long gone.

Sure, maintenance worker sounds like a weird job to be stuck with—until I find out that it lets me reroll chests, disable traps, and access the park's hidden paths and back halls. Then I realize that the world is my oyster. I can be rich. I can be powerful. And I can romance as many beautiful, exotic women as I want; a redheaded wizard, a sly foxkin treasure hunter, a gorgeous goblin, and a badass cyborg.

Maybe, if we're lucky, we'll even get one of those video-game happy endings?
