Powerful necromancers are on the move, and the dungeon has become a battleground.

A direct threat from an unexpected force causes Cal's mind to stabilize, but he doesn’t know for how long. Using every resource at his disposal, he works to keep his mind clear while he funds a search for his lost companion. When others fail him again and again, Cal takes matters into his own hands.

Conquering dungeons and using them to grow has long been the most efficient way to become a powerful adventurer. The only thing keeping the process from being easy is the Beasts that inhabit these places. Questions plague those entering this particular place of power: Where do the ‘rewards’ of weapons, armor, and heavy gold coins come from? Why is a fluffy bunny charging at me? For abyss-sake, why are there so many monsters? Cal has all of the answers to these age-old questions for a very simple reason. He is a Dungeon Core, a soul forced against his will into a magical stone.

The Circle, a shadow organization of cold-blooded killers, has thrived for almost a century—long before Doug Goodwin ever set foot into the VIP parlor of Tasker’s Bar. The Circle maintains its clandestine status through compulsory bylaws carrying harsh penalties, exacting their own brand of justice on any member that dares question their methods. Throughout the Circle’s illustrious history, only a select few have ever violated those sacred rules. Those members became...Legends of the Circle.

When she moves in with her brother’s roommate and his group of friends, Scarlett feels like she’s really in for it.

But between the closeness on the couch and the new spark she sees in Nolan’s eyes, never might be coming sooner rather than later.

We live in a world that tells us how to live, what matters (and what does and doesn't), and how to get what it says we want. These impersonal, external forces push us around and leave us off-balance, confused, and fatigued. Like actors following a script written by someone else, we find ourselves uncertain of where we have ended up, much less where we want to go, and asking, "What am I supposed to do next?" Among us, however, are those who live differently. The Gift of Lift seeks to unlock their secrets and provide a pathway toward intention, meaning, and purpose.

Only they don’t know who to believe…will you?

For Neil’s husband, Evan Hill, the past is something he actively tries to forget.

Conrad Brent protects the people of Brooklyn from monsters and magical threats. The snarky, wisecracking guardian also has a dangerous secret: He’s one in a million—literally. Magical ability comes to about one in every 30,000 and can manifest at any age. Conrad is rarer than this, however. He’s a middling, one of the half-gifted and totally despised. Most of the gifted community feels that middlings should be instantly killed. The few who don’t flat out hate them still aren’t excited to be around middlings.

Now Pejman Ghadimi introduces us to the conclusion that critics have called the book that will awaken mankind in the 21st century.
