The western crime organization has crumbled, giving way to the rise of the Imprecari. However, those are the concerns of the consulate, not for the average citizen. As struggling lumberjacks, Fire Slinger Desenius Dylandonai and Ground Runner Ghamuna Alhyo have embraced their attempt at a normal life, taking up residence in a lowly hovel outside of the bustling city of Calo. Despite his desire for the mundane, the life of the underground wrenches Desenius back in when the Imprecari threaten to annihilate an entire class of Strucks known as Mimics. At the risk of crossing The Imprecator, Desenius must choose if he will allow the Mimics to be slain, or if he will rise up and rage war against the Imprecari.

When gold is king, the Blade Bandits live by the sword. Vicious killers with no remorse, they slay anyone who stands in their way. But how much longer can Desenius keep this up? Sitting on the mountain ledge staring down at the city, he sharpens the edge of his shortsword. It's routine now the way the stone grinds against the edge. The few sparks that skip off the metal light up the darkness of the night. "Hundreds of men have died by this weapon," he says to his partner. "Women too." Soltar, a dark-skinned Hul with braids and bruises, keeps watch on the town. "You gettin' soft on me?" There's a pause after that -- one that's far longer than Desenius might have liked. "The mission's the mission." The Hul narrows his eyes. "That don't answer my question, now does it?" With tensions growing between the Blade Bandits, will Desenius keep up his life of crime, or will he risk betraying his partner by leaving it all behind? A magical thriller, Death from the Flames intersects emotion with adventure. Prepare to be instantly hooked, because once you pick this up, you won't want to put it down. Grab your copy now!

While searching for a way out of the Black Lands, Eva and Ian encounter a mysterious woman named Menjada. Suspicious and withholding, this woman promises Eva aid in the search for the magic that was cratered deep within the darkness. Yet, something inside Eva warns her of this stranger's ill intentions. Should Eva and Ian attempt to find the magical crater themselves, or should they risk it all and choose to trust this Menjada? As time runs thin, the Blacks Lands soon prove that things are not as they seem. For hidden within the blackness is a peril that will shake the very foundations of Eva's core.

[All 7 episodes included!] A soul is a terrible thing to waste. Scarlet is celebrating her twenty-third birthday at a midnight pub in downtown Raleigh when fired gunshots send the freezing January night into a blazing panic. In an effort to escape, Rebekah conjures a powerful entity from the dead to protect her. Only, her summoning fails when bullets tear through her side, leaving her unconscious as cops and ambulances race to the scene. Waking up in a cold hospital bed, Rebekah and her easy-going shapeshifter friend, Lyle Finnegan, try to piece together the clues to discover why a killer is after them and what the killer wants. With little help from the paranormal community, the two of them must ward off vampires and werewolves, to name a few, if they want to unearth why Rebekah is the killer's primary target. Their luck is running out, when what they find is a mystery that neither of them would have ever hoped for.

However, the nation of Kalarn has a different fate in mind. Now, with the vicious beast stalking her and with her friends' lives at stake, Eva must make the ultimate choice if she hopes to ever see them again.
