Packed with a colourful Slavic cast of tempestuous gods and frightening monsters, The Wind Child is above all a story about friendship, and how far you would go and what you would sacrifice to avoid saying goodbye to someone you love. No human has ever returned from Navia, the Slavic afterlife. But twelve-year-old Mara is not entirely human. She is the granddaughter of Stribog, the god of winter winds and she’s determined to bring her beloved father back from the dead. Though powerless, Mara and her best friend Torniv, the bear-shifter, set out on an epic journey to defy the gods and rescue her father. On their epic journey they will bargain with forest lords, free goddesses from enchantments, sail the stormy seas in a ship made of gold and dodge the cooking pot of the villainous Baba Latingorka. Little do the intrepid duo know of the terrible forces they have set in motion, for the world is full of darkness and Mara will have to rely on her wits to survive.

“It’s time for the world to feel the fire of a Dark Elf’s heart." Shaken and scarred from their deadly encounter with the Dark Elves, Mara and Silmanus embark on a journey south to the Dark Elf kingdom, Vanaria, in an effort to halt whatever plot the Dark Elves have set in motion. Accompanied only by a group of trusted friends, they will have to rely on skill, wits, and shaky alliances if they are to overcome the inescapable dangers and grievous trials of their quest. “You’re a pirate,” Mara said flatly. “And you’re an outlaw,” Calixta retorted. Meanwhile, after their harrowing escape from the Dark Elf cells, Jeddo, Amber, and their fellow escaped prisoners wait restlessly in Fort Vanguard to warn the Fire Dwarves of Pyradia about the Dark Elves and to rescue a friend left behind. But the horrors of the Dark Elf prisons have yet to fade, a grim reality Amber and Jeddo must face as a series of unforeseeable events pushes them down a path they do not want to travel. Jeddo’s stomach started to twist as he realized what had to be done, bile burning its way up his throat behind his pounding heart. As the pieces of the Dark Elves' deadly puzzle finally click into place, a desperate race to stop their cataclysmic plan begins. The four adventurers will be pushed to their limits as they are forced to take the fate of Aeternerras into their hands. And if they fail, the world will burn.

His dismembered body is sinking in the serene Beira lake and he has no idea who killed him.

In the gritty, divided city of New Aurora, Ula Ikem leads a rebel faction seeking justice against the tyrannical upper-class Steamers who rule with an iron fist. When Ula uncovers a vast conspiracy around hoarded resources, she infiltrates facilities, gathers forbidden intel, and builds an unlikely crew of informants to help expose the government’s lies. Facing off against ruthless leaders like Tribune Jamuike, who wield experimental weapons and limitless authority, Ula resorts to bold heists and rallies public dissent through daring broadcasts. But machinations run deeper than she realized, and the risks for her and her allies soar ever higher in this kinetic fantasy of rebellion versus oppression. With New Aurora itself at a tipping point, Ula confronts the limits of loyalty and sacrifice central to her crusade. Unimaginable loss haunts her attempts to spark revolution while balancing diplomacy and driving out corruption. If she fails, generations will continue languishing under the Steam Council’s dominant rule. But exposing the shocking truth could cost Ula everything—or help transform their society forever through cooperation across bitter divides.

From the moment of his birth, Siddhartha Gautama never doubted his specialness. He arrived with magnificently webbed digits and could lick his own earlobes. His karma had been that good. Thus, the question was never whether he would become a king, but rather, what type of king he would become. Siddhartha's journey took a sudden spiritual turn when he came to the first of his many realizations: things die, and before they die, they suffer, a lot, for real. This harrowing insight formed the first of his eleven Four Noble Truths (not including the five other parts) and informed his ascetic-minded mission: to free the world of pain, even if he was very glad to no longer care about anything or anyone in it. Having already experienced an incalculable number of past lives, Siddhartha wondered, how could he himself escape this endless cycle of suffering? With this question came an enlightened answer that promised a possible way out: only those who live can die. As his body begins to fail following an ill-prepared meal, Siddhartha faces his ultimate test: will he achieve his blessed wish—to cease to exist once and for all—or will he be reborn yet again into another oozing life of pain.
