Yo. Crown Princess Myrindi of Talvayne here. This is the story of my life so far. It's an inspirational, uplifting tale that won't leave a dry eye in the house. The film adaptation's going to bring home seven Academy Awards and inspire at least twice as many hot new looks for spring. Ah, who am I kidding? My life kind of sucks. I spent my childhood stuck in the palace with a bunch of dimwitted sycophants who think khakis are a good idea. I'm doomed to die a gruesome death during childbirth so my daughter can inherit the magic that protects my city. My father, the king, essentially jumpstarted a military coup by trying to sell my hand in marriage-and thus the throne-to the highest bidder. Let's just say the runner up got his knickers in a bit of a twist. Now I'm on the run with a crew of mouth-breathing weirdos who may not have my best interests at heart, hiding out in janitor's closets and public restrooms and kitschy suburban homes and all sorts of places that make me wish I could bathe in bleach. I haven't had a decent mani-pedi in days. But you know what? This is my f'ing city and those coup jerks can't have the place.

When twenty-something Kevin Felton loses his job and moves back in with his mother, he assumes life can't possibly get any worse. He used to be somebody at a big time company-now he's just another nobody with no direction and nothing to do but get drunk and fantasize over the strange blue woman that lives in his dreams. Little does he know, there's more to his world than he ever imagined, and he's about to be thrown headfirst into a particularly deadly kind of fantasy. Things start to look up when Kevin stumbles into a wild romance with the woman he thought was just a dream, a water nymph with a magical and mysterious past. There's just one problem: his new lover left a fiance at the altar, and that man just happens to be Death himself. In a desperate attempt to save his own life, Kevin-alongside Driff, an elven secret agent with questionable loyalties, and Ren, a longtime friend who knows more than he's letting on-befriends the reaper and must find a way to hook Death up with someone new before his own role in events comes to light.

Kensey Vardallian may be young and foolish, but he'll stop at nothing to sate the need for vengeance consuming him after his grandfather's murder at the hands of an oppressive villain. Not only that, but his family's ancestral treasure is stolen and lies in the hands of a greedy count. When Kensey finds himself in the midst of a scheme with a crew of rowdy, scheming pirates, he discovers there might just be a chance for him to take down his grandfather's killer and recover the treasure all at once. As the crew of the Black Yonnix infiltrates a strictly controlled city with a daring plan, Kensey must pay out his rope to the bitter end and face down demons both inside and out-and quickly adapt to his new life as an outlaw or die trying.

Roger's a mild-mannered family man who inadvertently stole the most important magic in the elves' arsenal. Talora's a pyromancer who literally burns through her memories.
