Jak and his allies venture through the portal in search of the longevity plant their king demands, but all Jak wants is to find the elder dragons. Some say they’re extinct. Some say they’re in hiding. If he can’t locate them, there won’t be anyone to teach his hatchling how to fly. Or to protect the dragon eggs preserved within a glacier on another world. Or to help him free his people from the tyrannical rule of the wizards. Jak has no choice. He must find the dragons.

Before tragedy left her crippled, Artemis "Temi" Sidaris was a world-class tennis player at the height of her career. The sport was her passion, her dream, and all she ever wanted to do. Fighting monsters...was not part of the plan. But when a pair of pointy-eared strangers offers to heal her injury if she's willing to wield a powerful sword to protect humanity...how can she resist?

A fighter pilot on a mission to reunite with her daughter. A cyborg soldier on a quest to regain his humanity. Mortal enemies during the war, they must now work together to salvage a 70-year-old freighter and navigate the gauntlet of pirates, scavengers, mercenaries, and other pitfalls that stand in their way after the fall of the largest empire mankind has ever known.

I’m Val Thorvald, and I’m an assassin. When magical bad guys hurt people, I take care of them. Permanently. This doesn’t make me popular with the rest of the magical community — as you can tell from the numerous break-ins and assassination attempts I’ve endured over the years. But thanks to my half-elven blood, a powerful sword named Chopper, and a telepathic tiger with an attitude, I’ve always been able to handle my problems with aplomb. Maybe some cursing and swearing, too, but definitely aplomb.

Matti Puletasi has defeated her enemies, rescued her parents, fallen in love with the elf of her dreams, and even started thinking of having children. Will her life finally return to normal? All Matti has left to do is to fulfill her obligation to Mikki the Wrench. That task, however, takes an unexpected turn when she encounters a powerful dark-elven artifact.

Pack politics, adventure, and romance feature in the third installment of Magnetic Magic. Luna has recovered priceless werewolf relics from powerful thieves, but they’re still alive—and they can control her new ally, a lone wolf named Duncan. She would be wise to have nothing to do with him, but he’s handsome, charming, and keeps coming to her defense. Further, with certain members of the pack gunning for her, she needs his assistance. Her cousin Augustus is holding a grudge, and she’s going to have to find a way to deal with him—before he deals with her.

Imperial law enforcer Amaranthe Lokdon is good at her job: she can deter thieves and pacify thugs, if not with a blade, then by toppling an eight-foot pile of coffee canisters onto their heads. But when ravaged bodies show up on the waterfront, an arson covers up human sacrifices, and a powerful business coalition plots to kill the emperor, she feels a tad overwhelmed. Worse, Sicarius, the empire's most notorious assassin, is in town. He's tied in with the chaos somehow, but Amaranthe would be a fool to cross his path. Unfortunately, her superiors order her to hunt him down. Either they have ...

Yanko White Fox is used to expectations. Since he was a small boy, his father has expected him to become a powerful mage and redeem his family’s honor. Even if his heart was elsewhere, Yanko always accepted his responsibility. He’s learned all he can about magic, practiced to become powerful, and fought great evil to free thousands of imprisoned people. But it’s not enough.

It's been three months since former enforcer Amaranthe Lokdon and the notorious assassin Sicarius thwarted kidnappers and saved the emperor's life. The problem? Nobody knows they were responsible for this good deed. Worse, they're being blamed for the entire scheme. With enforcers and bounty hunters stalking them, and the emperor nursing a personal hatred for Sicarius, it's going to be hard to earn exoneration. When Amaranthe's team discovers mutilated bodies in the city aqueducts and a mysterious illness incapacitates thousands of citizens, she and Sicarius see an opportunity to solve the ...

When the Star Nomad stops at the space station Saranth Three to drop off refugees, Captain Alisa Marchenko doesn’t expect any trouble. But not all is as it seems at the station, and she and her crew soon find themselves embroiled in a fight for their lives.

When you've been accused of kidnapping an emperor, and every enforcer in the city wants your head, it's hard to prove yourself an honorable person and even harder to earn an imperial pardon. That doesn't keep Amaranthe Lokdon and her team of outlaws from trying. When athletes start disappearing from the Imperial Games, they may finally have an opportunity to show the emperor that they're on his side. If she and her comrades can get to the bottom of such a public mystery, they're sure to get the credit. But plans go awry when Amaranthe's own men start plotting against each other, the new ally ...

Puede que el coronel Ridge Zirkander no sea un modelo de conducta, pero sus superiores están dispuestos a perdonar sus faltas porque es el mejor piloto de combate del ejército iskandiano. Sin embargo, su suerte está a punto de cambiar: tras romperle la nariz a un diplomático, sus superiores le mandan tomar el mando de una prisión minera en las inhóspitas montañas Hojas de Hielo. Zirkander jamás ha tenido que coordinar nada mayor que un escuadrón de aviadores, ¿qué va a hacer al frente de una fortaleza llena de violadores y asesinos?

Cuando la teniente Caslin Ahn se unió a la escuadrilla Lobo, estaba preparada para la posibilidad de morir algún día en acto de servicio. Para lo que no está preparada es para que la derriben, para que su propia gente la dé por muerta y para que la arrastren al imperio de la Cofah como prisionera de guerra.

Sardelle Terushan, curandera y hechicera, debía pasar desapercibida. La magia está prohibida en Iskandia, y los que la usan acaban ahogados, fusilados o asesinados de alguna manera u otra. ¿El problema? Se ha enamorado de un héroe nacional: el coronel Ridge Zirkander, un as de la aviación que todo el mundo reconoce, empezando por el rey.

Pułkownik Ridge Zirkander nie jest co prawda wzorem wojskowego profesjonalizmu, ale jako najlepszy pilot armii iskandyjskiej, cieszy się pewną pobłażliwością ze strony przełożonych. A przynajmniej dopóki nie zada ciosu w nos niewłaściwemu dyplomacie, wskutek czego otrzymuje nowe rozkazy: oto teraz ma objąć dowództwo nad odludnym więzieniem w górach Lodowych Ostrzy. Nie dowodząc nigdy niczym większym od eskadry smoczych skrzydłolotów, co zrobi w forcie pełnym gwałcicieli i morderców? Nie wspominając nawet o tej dziwnej kobiecie, która pojawia się tuż przed jego przybyciem.

Die Vollstreckerin Amaranthe Lokdon ist wirklich gut in ihrem Job. Ihr Revier liegt in der Hauptstadt des Reichs, in der dampfbetriebene Straßenbahnen und Maschinen das Straßenbild prägen. Hier ist das Verbrechen allgegenwärtig. Diebe rauben fleißige Geschäftsfrauen aus und Unbekannte setzen Gebäude am Seeufer in Brand. Amaranthes Aufklärungsrate ist exzellent und ihre Führung tadellos. Trotzdem wird sie immer wieder übergangen, wenn es um eine Beförderung geht.

Nach Tausenden Jahren erwachen die Drachen. Und sie wollen herrschen. Trip war schon immer etwas seltsam – mit Vorahnungen, die zu genau sind, um sie zu erklären. Da Magie in Iskandia gefürchtet und verboten ist, hat er sein ganzes Leben lang alles getan, um seine Gabe zu verbergen. Denn als Junge musste er die Hinrichtung seiner Mutter mitansehen. Ihr Verbrechen: Hexerei. Daher ist es verständlich, dass Trip nichts mit der Macht zu tun haben will, die in ihm schlummert und ständig droht, sich bemerkbar zu machen.

Le colonel Ridge Zirkander est loin d'être un officier modèle mais étant le meilleur pilote de chasse de l'armée iskandienne, il jouit d'une certaine indulgence de la part de ses supérieurs. Jusqu'au jour où il casse le nez du mauvais diplomate, ce qui lui vaut de recevoir une nouvelle affectation : le commandement d'un bagne minier dans les montagnes inhospitalières des Lames de Glace. Une forteresse enneigée où sont détenus des meurtriers et des violeurs. Sans même parler de cette femme étrange, apparue juste avant qu'il arrive à son poste.

Il colonnello Ridge Zirkander non è un modello di professionalità militare: ha la tendenza a esprimere esattamente quello che pensa e il suo curriculum ha abbastanza demeriti da tappezzare lo scafo di un dirigibile. Allo stesso tempo, è il miglior pilota di caccia dell'esercito iskandiano e, per questo, è abituato a un po' di indulgenza da parte dei suoi superiori. Tutto cambia, però, quando Ridge dà un pugno sul naso al diplomatico sbagliato e si ritrova con nuovi ordini: prendere il comando di una remota miniera-prigione tra le inospitali Montagne delle Lame di Ghiaccio.

Eine Macht, die nicht länger verborgen bleiben kann ... Trip befindet sich auf der wichtigsten Mission seines Lebens. In Begleitung von Captain Kaika, der ...
