Scrolls of Valhalla

9th-Century · Norway

Mark of the warrior.

In a brutal historical epoch, when taking what you want is the norm, where no world entity of protection exists, and where an honorable death is the end-game goal, three villages emerge that will change everything for the future of the Viking race.

Vald is a small village of fierce fighters that keep to themselves. They protect their own and value freedom over death.

Bataal is a village ruled by a ruthless traitor, Yar, and his witch, Hecate. Yar will stop at nothing to rule all of Norway, no matter what evil deed he must commit and no matter who he must sacrifice.

Hijiliack is a sophisticated village of well-educated people who value morality over brutality and have no greater desire than to do what is right. Built on unity, Hijiliak's true power lies in trust, coordination, and the power of divinity.

In the battles and schemes that ensue, a determined shieldmaiden from Vald rises. The last hope to save her people from annihilation, Jade uses more than her blade to do what she must. Jade's strengths lie in her cunning mind and her unyielding heart. When she meets Wren, Chieftain of Hijiliak, she finds a resource to help free her captive village from Yar and his army, but resists his advances; after all, she could never love anyone she can defeat in battle. But there is much more to Wren than meets the eye, and the eye does not go wanting.

Now, Jade must outrun, outwit, and outmaneuver a chieftain who has never been outsmarted or defeated in battle. With the help of his mate and advisor, the witch Hecate (master of deception and manipulation), Yar, a man who rules through the oppressive yoke of fear, seems unstoppable.

To save those she loves, Jade must find a way to trust Wren, humble herself enough to accept help, and learn to let others in, or face the destruction of her people. Jade calculates every move, loves deeply… and never breaks, but she must come to understand; when it comes to taking down Bataal, she, alone, is not enough.

A Beautiful Monster's Saga

17th-Century · Germania

The forest has been watching her since before she was born.

There are places in this world where the veil between what is known and what should never be known grows thin. The Black Forest is one such place — ancient, watchful, enchanted. Its shadows hold secrets older than the villages that cling to its edges, older than the wolves that howl beneath its canopy, older perhaps than memory itself.

The people of the forest have always known to fear the dark. They whisper of werewolves stalking the castle grounds, of vampires who walk among them with smiles of temptation, of spirits that drift between the trees waiting to be seen by those cursed enough to see them.

But nothing they whisper prepares them for Gwendolyn.

Born of three bloodlines that should never have intertwined — dragon, fairy, and human — Gwendolyn is something the Black Forest has never seen. Her grandmother kept the old pacts with dragons. Her mother wove enchantments that blessed and damned in equal measure. Her father loved them both and suffered the consequences.

Now their legacies burn inside her. Literally.

When Gwendolyn's curse awakens, villages turn to ash. Mothers bury children. And the creatures of the Black Forest — the wolves, the vampires, the Minotaurs, the things without names — begin to stir. Some see her as a weapon. Some see her as a threat. Some see her as the key to something that has been waiting in the darkness for a very, very long time.

The forest has been watching her since before she was born, but Gwendolyn is not the only monster in these woods.

Mormor's Magic Pursa

19th-Century · Missouri

Keeky Clues

1972 · Enigma Fayloam

Dare to believe.

Enigma Fayloam — Not all magic sparkles... but Keeky's does, well, when it's working anyway.

Within the walls of a glistening amethyst fortress, mystical enchantments bloom like midnight flowers, and fairies reign with glitter and glory, until an egomaniacal cyclops storms in and conquers Keeky's castle, turns the fairies into imps and trolls of opression, and takes her husband captive.

Now, the fairy queen must enter the human realm to find five orphans with hidden powers and convince them to believe in her in order to awaken their sleeping gifts, then persuade them to help her take down the cyclops prince, Balestrom, and his gargoyle sorcerer, Magus. But can she get all the orphans to believe in her before it's too late?

With the help of Puppy the Pot Bellied Pig, Keeky must bring these orphans back to Enigma Fayloam, teach them how to use their magic within, and, hardest of all, help them work together and trust one another.

Keeky has her work cut out for her as she tries to get these misfits of misfortune to, "Dare to believe."

Kalong

Modern Day · Mythical Asia

Some shadows have been waiting a very long time.

In the shadow world between ancient tradition and modern chaos, there exists an Order older than empires. The Order of Kalong — guardians of sacred artifacts, keepers of scrolls that hold secrets too dangerous for the world to know.

Kalong, the legendary fire dragon, grants its power to one chosen protector in each generation. The chosen doesn't inherit this burden. They earn it.

Trish Cooper never asked to be a warrior. She's a mother of five sons, an American woman with no lineage tying her to mystical Asia. But destiny doesn't care about resumes. When Kalong's fire ignited in her soul, she had a choice — walk away or become something more.

She chose to fight.

Now Trish stands at the center of an eternal battle between light and darkness. Ancient masters guide her from beyond death. Loyal guardians protect her hidden sanctuaries. And enemies — both mortal and divine — circle ever closer, drawn by the power she carries and the secrets she protects.

The fire dragon chose well. But fire attracts shadows, and some shadows have been waiting a very long time.

Red World

2157 · Valles Marineris

The revolution won't be televised. It will be whispered through the Maid Network.

But there are those who remember what freedom tasted like — and they're done waiting. In a world where loyalty is bought and souls are programmed, the revolution won't be televised. It will be whispered through the Maid Network.
