And sure, I also had to die and get pulled into another universe to end up here. But guess what? I'm starting to think it was worth it. I've somehow managed to get away from it all. Finally free of the bloodshed of cultivator fights, I figure I'll live in the slow lane from here on out, my only real concern the rain--or lack thereof. Unfortunately, I've suddenly got a shady organization looking for me, my cat has gone off to fight in a martial arts tournament, and my chicken has uncovered an ancient crystal containing portents of doom. You know, the usual stuff. I'm not worried though. Sometimes trouble finds you. And while I may not be a master cultivator . . . trouble should know better than to mess with a farmer.

A laugh-out-loud, slice-of-life martial-arts fantasy about . . . farming Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I'm stuck in his body. And you know what? Things ain't actually all that bad. I mean, last year was pretty hectic. I died, got reborn, ran away from my sect and ultimate power, started a farm, made some friends, awakened all my animals into Spirit Beasts so now they're running around talking and getting into life-and-death battles with super-powered bandits . . . Oh! And I got married. Pretty neat, huh? Well, this year, after the Spring Planting season, I'm really gonna relax and put down roots. It's the slow life for me. Sure, the talking animals and cultivators coming to live with me are a bit weird, but this year everything is gonna be basically normal. There definitely won't be any Heavenly Tribulations, ancient formations, or cultivator issues to deal with . . .

Separated as they were transported to a dangerous mythical world, a mother and daughter wield magic, fight against tyranny, and quest to find each other. It all happened in a flash of light and a burst of sound. One moment, Sloane Reinhart was passing a typical day on Earth with her young daughter, Gwyneth. The next, she was in the fantastical realm of Eona, befriended by elves and orcs, and Gwyn was nowhere to be found. Prior to Sloane's arrival, humans didn't exist in Eona, and magic was the stuff of storybooks and legends. Now, traveling with the Knights of Haven's Hope, Sloane has been established as Lady Reinhart, a noble from a distant world capable of creating objects of magical power. But despite her talents, she's unable to locate her daughter. After innocently describing herself as a princess to the band of merchants who discovered her, Gwyn has been brought into high society. Under the protection of elves, she enrolls in the Royal Academy, to be educated in etiquette and politics while her guardians create House Reinhart. A ten-year-old twenty-first century girl, Gwyn has no patience for the pomp and circumstance forced upon her by the ducal court. And as an emotional child who just wants her mom, her uncontrollable pyromancy makes her a considerable threat to the nobility. But Sloane and Gwyn aren't the only humans who've suddenly appeared in Eona. People from all over Earth--past, present, and future as well as alternate timelines--continue to arrive. And the rulers of Eona see them as an invading army to be destroyed . . . or weapons to be wielded.

In a ravaged city, a giant among warriors risks everything to liberate the galaxy in the epic third installment of this dystopian space-opera adventure. Ariock Dovanack never asked to be a hero, let alone a demigod. But when a prophecy deemed him "The One," he dutifully amassed thousands of messianic followers in the sun-starved civilization beneath the Torth Empire's capital. Now, destined to lead the cave-dwelling Alashani people into the light of other worlds, he and a small army must first annihilate the formidable telepaths who guard the city's spaceport. By Ariock's side is Thomas Hill. A Torth/human hybrid, Thomas may be physically vulnerable, but he's also a telepathic supergenius. With their combined powers of healing brawn and awesome brain, Ariock and Thomas share a fearsome reputation among their enemies in the Torth Empire. To the ruling supergenius known as the Upward Governess, they're outlaws who must be eliminated at any cost--even if it means sacrificing her own armies. As if that weren't enough, on his daring journey to the spaceport, Ariock encounters a legendary hero: his own great-grandfather, Garrett Dovanack. Thought long dead, it seems the old man has actually been stationed among the galactic Torth as a sleeper agent all this time. Forswearing his prior allegiance and quickly switching sides, Garrett unveils a seemingly perfect path to victory for Ariock. But he has sorely underestimated Thomas, and his wrong-headed assumptions could topple his great-grandson's mission--and doom the first civilization Ariock has sworn to liberate and return to glory.

From the author of the Gods Are Bastards series comes a new isekai adventure, in which a man is granted sinister powers he doesn't even want. On a typical day, on an average train platform, two warring sister goddesses found their avatars. One avatar, the young Yoshi, was swept away to the world of Ephemera to be a great hero of honor, courage, and light. The other, the not-so-young Seiji, was swept away to become a dark lord out to kill or conquer all in his path. But Seiji is in absolutely no mood for that nonsense. It's bad enough that on Earth he was a closed-off, misanthropic grouch with zero patience for other people. Now he's supposed to muster enough of a give-a-damn to lead vile hordes, crush Yoshi, and take all of Ephemera as his own? No thanks. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a choice. Seiji's patron goddess wants results, and if he doesn't deliver, she's going to take a serious interest in discovering his pain, suffering, and overall misery threshold. But just because he doesn't care about people, doesn't mean he doesn't care whether they suffer by his own hand. After all, just because you're the embodiment of ultimate evil doesn't mean you have to be a jerk about it.
