Summary
Sir Roger Wessyng, knight of Anglerre, raised from the ranks after serving his Lord Prince Edmund, finds himself dragged into a secret war that threatens not only the hard fought security of the Haikk system, but the very Ecclesiarchy itself. A fight that has been raged nearly five millennia is now coming to a head over a secret treasure and the true practices of the Imperial faith itself.
But that is just one battle he is fighting among the myriad he has to deal with. Keeping the peace between the Eldar and humanity was never a small task, especially when it involves his beloved Leopards, but as the crusade begins to succumb to paranoia and Inquisitorial oversight, he finds himself and his unit on the brink of destruction from all sides, Imperial, rebel, and Eldar. Not helping matters is his confused romance with the Xenos Anya Syneoch, daughter of a Farseer leading Craftworld Ducaish. This beyond heretical relationship is one he is trying to keep hidden, while avoiding its dissolution for reasons he cannot fathom or understand.
It was difficult enough to survive the battle he was knighted for, and the campaign that gave him glory. What is next will be even harder to come out of unscathed...

Summary
They erased my people.
Our chants, our dances, our gods—gone.
I was supposed to disappear with them. Instead, I woke up in a world of metal towers, glowing screens, and magic stripped of soul. They call it mana. They use it like fuel.
But I remember when magic meant something, such as when a single song could summon the sea’s fury or call down the spirit of a long-forgotten guardian.
Now, I wear shoes that don’t fit, speak words that feel hollow, and walk among strangers who measure worth in levels and stats. They fight monsters with swords and algorithms. I fight them with rhythm.
I don’t know why I was sent here. But the evil that devoured my world is stirring again—beneath this one. And I won’t let it sing the same silence.
Not while I still have a voice. -

Summary
“I told Innovation that they’ll need to pick us up sometime between 10:50 and 11," Sebastian explains. "But they won’t send anyone down unless we get Urbanshade off the crystal first.”
At first, to Painter, that sounds like an impossible feat. Urbanshade’s hard to deter; they wouldn't go down without a fight. Yet, they trust Sebastian– they know his intelligence and what he’s capable of. If anyone can sabotage that company, it’s him.
“Then… what do we do?” Their face shifts to the top of their screen as if staring up at him.
Sebastian clasps his two frontmost hands together, a sly grin overtaking him. "We take it ourselves.”
Merely two days after the Hadal Blacksite first spirals into lockdown, Sebastian manages to secure an escape route for both himself and Painter. With all other options exhausted and Urbanshade closing in fast, all he can do is hope Innovation keeps their word.

Summary
For the survival of his people, Hiccup Haddock is the price. A political offering sent to a powerful, neighboring kingdom, betrothed to a noble so feared, no one dares speak her name above a whisper. They call her 'The Cursed Noble,' a figure of terrifying legends and the key to his tribe's salvation. Hiccup expects a monster, a troll, or a beast in human form. He doesn't expect her.
For Astrid, he is just another unwelcome bargain, a barbarian pawn in a political game she's long grown tired of. Cursed to a life of isolation and fear, she knows this marriage is nothing more than entrapment, another soul for her reputation to inevitably break.
But when the sarcastic outcast meets the isolated noble, the clash of their worlds sparks something unexpected. In a court built on fear and secrets, Hiccup's refusal to see a monster might be the most dangerous move of all. Especially when the whispers of war begin to rise, and the true nature of Astrid's curse threatens to burn their entire world to the ground.
