It seems like a lifetime ago that Thedeim was a mortal man. After a fatal accident, he was transported to a strange realm to begin again as a living low-level dungeon. But he didn't stay small for long. With a powerful will, he built his dungeon self into a force to be reckoned with, full of minions, creepy crawlies, and a hedge maze to die for. Except Thedeim isn't a place where delvers die. He's a different, friendlier kind of dungeon, which suits both him and his many allies just fine. But being a nice dungeon means taking on some not-so-nice entities.

Transported from Earth to another world by a temperamental goddess, misanthrope Seiji was suddenly a dark lord of incredible power. Not that he wanted that exactly.

And now Seiji has found himself caught in a military, political, and possibly genocidal conflict with goblins.

Try as he might, Fischer still can't catch a break. Tropica's forces have just perpetrated the fantasyland equivalent of crashing the king's party, kicking over the punch bowl, and making a series of rude gestures on their way out. Unfortunately, they're about to learn firsthand that when you take a bully down to the mat, it's best to make sure they don't get back up. Because their enemies are unearthing long-forgotten powers, and if those dabbling in the resulting destructive chi succeed, they could become even more annoying than the time Corporal Claws hid all of Fischer's pants.

Fresh from the flaming wreckage of Treystone, that was absolutely not their fault, the Crimson Hunters are sky-bound and somehow in possession of a stolen airship. Their mission? Reach Dellerin before the world ends. However, the sky above is packed with demons, dangerous flying armadas, and far too many questionable decisions. Meanwhile, far below, one exhausted soldier named Erin stumbles through the mud and blood of a fierce battleground carrying a powerful relic that might stop the Dark One's war—if she isn't hunted down by an unrelenting enemy first.

His entire life, both as wolf and man, Kane has been a hunter. Now, he is the one being hunted. A merciless stranger has emerged from the shadows, vowing to track Kane down and destroy him. To erase the Wolfwere bloodline from existence—just as this mysterious predator did to Kane's pack.

Pegasus shifter Ethan Roan eats, breathes, and sleeps his work, preparing for the day he'll take over his father's corporate law firm. The daily grind leaves him with no time for fun, let alone love… and he's fine with that. Or so he tells himself, anyway. Now, though, he's inexplicably found himself attached to a ghost that insists he help it return to the afterlife—and it's not above sabotaging his work to get his attention. Which is how Ethan finds himself on a road trip to Girdwood Springs with an amnesiac ghost and a cantankerous pegasus, despite it very much not being in his schedule.
