Behind every strong man there is a strong… demon?

As a half-blood Apache by birth and a professional soldier by choice, Logan Proud Bear thought he had been through hell in his life. Until he actually ended up there. Stripped of his memory but still very much alive, he must survive the world of demons and the damned long enough to achieve the impossible: To escape from Hell itself.

His only hope of success is an alliance with a beautiful and unpredictable Succubus. Only she can help him stay alive- if her fierce, sexual hunger doesn’t kill him first.

Together, they must challenge an ancient injustice as they gather some of history’s strongest women into a force that will reshape Hell itself.

Death isn’t always the end, and sometimes we mistake it for a short nap at the end of a very long, and very stressful day.... more>>

A frontier village was unnecessarily put to the sword. A father stoked the fires of war to punish an errant daughter, and perhaps set her straight, but as often happens when fire is applied in a measure too much: it can get rather out of hand.

Nobody was supposed to die that day… but the village burned all the same, and the woman she loved was among the dead! Enraged, and seized with inspiration, she became something new, something stronger, and she will have her revenge! <<less

Wracked with misfortune, a nameless village along the edge of the Gray Spine rejoiced at the arrival of a paladin. Those celebrations, though, turned to wary tension as the paladin brought an unknown into their midst - his wife Nayinis, who wears the markings of a necromancer. Who is this woman? Why has she come to their village? Nayinis divulges her shadowed past, for she needs the village's trust to defeat the powerful foe that she has been summoned by the divine to face. <<less

Ever since Aster’s mother died, home no longer feels like home. Now, she’s little more than a prisoner behind gilded bars; her father growing more distant by the day, her best friend missing and possibly left for dead.... more>>

So when a letter from the royal family arrives, inviting her to stay in the palace, Aster agrees.

She’s only been to the palace once, a memory she’s replayed countless times in her head, during her first fateful encounter with her fiancé. But when she comes face to face with Florian once more, he’s cold and apathetic; a far cry from the boy she used to dream of.

As Aster struggles to come to terms with Florian’s new demeanour, life in the palace reveals more than it’s rose covered façade. The maze within its gardens hides thorns that cut deep, and the spirits who call it home want nothing more than to see her go.

With all the odds against her, winning over her begrudging fiancé and the rest of the peanut gallery seems next to impossible. But with the help of her unflappable maid Fina, a brutally blunt swindler, and the apprentice of the palace’s magical deviant, maybe Aster might just have a shot at her happily ever after.

Jules hadn’t expected the haunted house to be truly haunted. He also hadn’t expected the demon to take an interest in him, refusing to leave him be.

The world is not what it seems. The veil of history has been drawn, magic and wonder relegated to folklore, myth, and religion. Science and culture advance, dismissing the very existence of mythic beings as so much hokum. Yet these Creaturae — the remnants of bygone ages — linger, striving to maintain a place in a world that has convinced itself they don't exist.... more>>

Aaron Abrams is frustrated, fed up with his failure to live up to his so-called potential. Assassination attempts and strange new abilities leave him questioning his sanity until he's pulled into the Drakon, an ancient society that loosely unites and governs the descendants of the most legendary beasts — dragons. To survive the threat of his enemies and make the most of his new life, Aaron will need to learn about magic, the power of his heritage, the hidden world of the Creaturae, and figure out just what the hell he's going to do as the long-awaited leader of the Drakon. At least dragons are rich, right?

Here be dragons! Sorta.

What if on everyone’s birthday, they got a skill card encapsulating their past year? And what if it's [Resist Hunger] seven years in a row?... more>>

Renalia had dreamt of gaining new abilities and lifting her parents out of poverty with her new Deck. But none of her skill cards help the family peat harvesting business.

Her Deck interests others though, as the Baron recruits her into his entourage. In a bigger town, she finds ways to make money, aided by her Deck’s hidden ability to loot skill cards from monsters.

The money helps but she has to learn that it does not wipe away all debts nor buy the happiness that she wants. And it certainly does not deal with the increasing appearance of monsters.

 - Slow-burn coming-of-age story with decks of skill cards.
 - Very light game mechanics with skill cards. No stat boxes, experience points, health, stamina, etc.
 - Young and weak protagonist, but proactive and not whiny. Eventually strong.
 - Please note that this story is more focused on characterization, rather than the deckbuilding and LitRPG elements. The latter is so light that I'm not even tagging it as a 'LitRPG'.
- Contains tragic events. Not meant for kids even though the MC is a child.

It has been an age of peace between the Holy Paladin Order and the Mage Alliance, nearly five hundred years since the last major war on Contenmere, smallest continent on the world of Reath. But the peace remains an uneasy one even now.... more>>

When the Lord Protector Lutan pursues an old grudge and an entire village winds up dead as a consequence, it looks like a return to open warfare is inevitable unless he can stop the necromancer he’s hunting from reaching the safety of his own people, however, this is not his story.

. . . Alec had lived a very quiet life in the village of Respite, seeing little in his future other than collecting the valuable deadwood of the ancient, magical and above all, deadly Forest Von Mori.

But, now as the sole survivor of his village, and captive of that same necromancer, things are not only different but, more disconcerting than the glaringly obvious, something doesn’t seem right; why is the necromancer so determined to protect him? And just what principles is Alec prepared to forsake to survive . . .

Palantine and Co. is an unusual company that does its work in an unusual field. But it's attractive enough to out of work Gary Bellamy, and offers decent pay and a good benefits package. But there are a few things a little strange about the local office. The CEO is perpetually out of town, apparently in search of ‘Enlightenment’. His co-workers are involved in research and investigations involve the likes of Bigfoot, ghosts, walk-ins and other supernatural phenomena, for who its not quite clear. It all seems a bit dodgy to Gary but again, good benefits package.... more>>

Ephram Palantine is having problems of his own. His search for Enlightenment hasn’t been going all that well, has lead down some rather bizarre rabbit holes. It's about to get a lot worse.

The employees of Palantine and Co. are themselves hoping their new hire is exactly what they need. Otherworldly phenomena is on the rise. A seven year old girl has gone missing in northern Michigan, and they are sure it involves something that happened to Gary when he was a boy, thirty years ago, not to mention that there have been sightings of same identical dead man on a Lake Erie beach now for several decades. Some might call what Gary and his co-workers are about to get involved in to protect humanity from a world whose borders with other realities are fraying at the edges, incredible and perhaps even insane. Some might call it a mission. <<less

In October the Campton river clears, and the water level drops offering a perfect excuse to get out in the crisp morning air and scour the rocks for snagged hooks and toads. It's about as close as Charlie has come to magic... until he meets the strange Dalia Addair.
While trying to learn more about her, he unwittingly slots himself into her magical trial—a trial she's spent her whole life preparing for. He gets a day.
But something's wrong; the trial holds its own secrets, and powerful forces will do whatever it takes to stop them.
The only way to survive is to finish the trials and block the way forever.
But first, Charlie and Dalia have to learn to work together—if they don't strangle each other first.

Quirky, fast-paced, and brimming with humour and charm, Fableman is a story that shows how even the most unlikely hero will step forward to do what it takes—when there's a ten-foot troll on his ass. <<less
