Oh me, oh my.Isabella Vigatori, known as Bella, dreams of perfecting the system-granted ability she inherited from her late mother: Minor Creature Control. Her magic may only impact small creatures like mice and birds, making them loyal companions through song, but Bella is determined to achieve greatness. Yet her father, bitter from losing his wife to a beast she tamed, condemns her ambition as reckless. When Bella refuses to abandon her dreams, her father remarries a shrewd widow, Matringa, who quickly restores the family's fortunes. But Matringa ensures Bella is relegated to servant status, vanishing her from public view until she forsakes her 'commoner's ambition'. Even so, Bella quietly defies her family, nurturing her forbidden magic in secret. Upon uncovering a dark secret behind Matringa's sudden success, Bella realizes the kingdom itself is in peril. With her wits, loyal creatures, and a desperate plan to gain the ear of Prince Cinder at a royal masquerade, Bella must act fast. If this competent underdog cannot convince the prince to take action, there might not be anyone left in the kingdom for him to rule. A single mouse is prey; but even a Witch fears mischief. read more

Snow Weiss was born to lead, her silver tongue a perfect counterpoint to her twin sister Rose's raw emotional power. Together, they were destined to bring prosperity to their kingdom as neighboring queens. On vacation at their summer home, the twins rescue a prince cursed into bear form. He makes a childhood promise to wed Snow that Rose scoffs at, knowing they may never meet again. Their return to the palace shatters their idle dreams of a bright future: their mother is struck down by a mysterious illness, leaving their grieving father to fall under the thrall of a powerful Witch. Rose sacrifices her own freedom, smuggling Snow away. Finding herself as an exiled princess trapped in her own kingdom, Snow learns of the despair of her people and begins seeking allies. In a desperate gamble she finds seven dangerous mentors who teach her their own flavor of influence. Learning to fight, sneak, inspire, heal, and even wield poison, the newly-minted rebel queen plans to march on the palace and free her sister. Yet, wielding her power comes with a battle for morality Snow wrestles with daily, leading to one burning question: what is she willing to do to break the Witch's power? The answer is simple, but it most certainly isn't easy. read more

Joe and the Dwarves are doing more than surviving in the harsh climate of Jotunheim: they're thriving. The Ritualist's improvements to their defenses are paying dividends; and he's hailed as a genius for ending threats before they come into striking distance of the burgeoning City. Every day, the Town expands further, allowing for more facilities, a larger population, and drawing in ever-more monsters. So many beasts that the walls are no longer enough. Even worse, the upgrade to ascend to City-tier came without warning, and Joe is pushed to the limit to make sure that his friends, allies, and hard work survive the onrushing waves of teeth and flesh. As the citizens of Novusheim face off against a seemingly endless horde, a Legendary monster appears on the horizon-its eyes fixed on Novusheim as it begins to cast grand workings of ice and snow. The storm isn't just brewing. It's already here. read more

Watch out for that double cross. Nacho and the Chips Guild are expanding rapidly, both in membership as well as reclaiming land for their burgeoning city. The presence of a cook allows people to gather in large numbers without fear of starving to death, though the reluctant Guild Leader knows better than to let people get too comfortable. Careful management of people has never been his forte, but luckily he has surrounded himself with people that can get that job done as he focuses on learning to craft proper meals. As Nacho begins to find a sense of peace in his life, he is suddenly thrust into a new battle when the CruxTerrans launch a surprise attack. They seize several of Nacho's closest friends and use them to unlock a hidden portal which will determine the fate of Earth as well as CruxTerra. The Guild Leader and his adversaries are thrust into a daunting challenge that neither side is prepared for, testing their abilities... and especially their willpower. The endgame is in view, and Starvation is on the table. read more

Too bad it's all snarled in her hair. Rebecca Punzel grew up as an orphan in the slums, only daring to dream small by providing for her found family. In a kingdom where might makes right, and combat skills rule, her first class is practically a curse: golden locks of hair which require no care. Though she's in a hairy situation, she works tirelessly to build a modest life for the other orphans. At fourteen, every valuable in reach seems to get tangled into her curls. Practically overnight, she's blacklisted from working at any reputable business. Losing her internal battle of morality just so she can survive, Rebecca turns to the thieves guild and quickly makes a name for herself as Goldie Locks. But when a job goes wrong and a ruthless alchemist marks her as an endless source of magical material, she has only one option: run. When even that fails, she stakes everything on climbing the Brute Queen's battle tower. The grand prize of the trial of power is protection and status-marriage to the Crown Prince. Her attempt is practically a joke: without combat skills they'd never accept the royal and the orphan as a pair. Luckily, winning isn't the goal, escaping is. After all... There's no greater crime than possessing treasure without the strength to hold onto it. read more
