The Horus Heresy is over. The traitor Legions have scattered, fleeing the wrath of a vengeful Imperium.

Carried by six Sisters of Battle, each the embodiment of a revered saint, the funerary procession known as the Triumph of Saint Katherine marches from world to world, battlefront to battlefront.

These matriarchal witch-aelves are graceful masters of death who revel in spilling blood, and whose opposition to Chaos borders on mania.

To this end, a Khainite would bleed the realms dry in dedication to her cause.

This forest isn't charted on any map. Every car breaks down at its treeline. Mina's is no different. Left stranded, she is forced into the dark woodland only to find a woman shouting, urging Mina to run to a concrete bunker. As the door slams behind her, the building is besieged by screams. Mina finds herself in a room with a wall of glass, and an electric light that activates at nightfall, when the watchers come above ground. These creatures emerge to observe their captive humans and terrible things happen to anyone who doesn't reach the bunker in time. 

For Bran of Ealdor, this is the one thing stopping him from becoming a member of the legendary warriors known as summoners. They are gods among men who can call monsters into battle to fight alongside them. Mages, Rangers, Beastmasters, Protectors, Hunters, and Lancers. These are the six classes of summoners. None of which Bran can become. Until one day, when a griffin crash lands into the stable, a summoner riding on top of the beast. That day, everything changes for Bran. He is thrust into a world of magical creatures and their masters, and he soon discovers just how unique he is.

It’s been months since we crashed into the Zivonians’ ship and were offered a place to stay, and in that time, I thought I had explored every part of The Oasis. But I was wrong. There’s one new place I just discovered: the brig. I wound up down there by accident, and now I can’t stop thinking about the Zivonian prisoner with the mesmerizing eyes and the intense stare. I know I shouldn’t let myself be drawn to him. He’s behind bars, after all. The smartest thing would be to forget all about him. But for some reason, I can’t stop myself from going back to visit him.

Eric Cayden is many things: cocky, smart-mouth, sexy as sin, and great in bed. What he doesn't want to be is bothered by other people's drama. His best friend Jordan thinks he's wasting not only his life doing odd jobs for money, but also his superhuman abilities, when he could be so much more. It's not until he's forced to get violent with some very bad people in order to save Jordan's life that he sees the truth. It's at that moment when he realizes that he does have a place in the world: making the villain pay. That is when Eric becomes Cobra.

Anna Westfall is in her own personal Hell on Earth. After making a deal with the Devil, she's sentenced to a place where she is loathed by witches and warlocks for being soulless.

All she wants is to go back to her old life, but as far as she knows, she's stuck within the magical confines of the city. Until a mysterious witch shows up at the bar with the answers she's been looking for, but is undoing a deal with the Devil really that easy? 

Stop me if you’ve heard this story before. One minute Alice was camping, trying to connect with nature, then there’s this blinding white light. Gravity must have quit because Alice and her sleeping bag were floating off the ground. Classic alien abduction. She wakes up on an alien planet full of, you know, aliens. Outlaws. Rules are optional and people are property. So not cool. Then there’s a train robbery and she's getting abducted. Again. But this guy? He’s a giant lizard man, just a solid wall of muscle, scales, and bad attitude.

Del is moving up. One of the problems with life in the asteroid belt, though, is that “up” depends a lot on your point of view.

Iroth doesn’t deal in live cargo, but the job on Earth’s too good to pass up—purchase a female, escort her to Kirenai Prime, and rake in the credits. Except it was all a setup. Now he's on the hook for attempting to assassinate the crown prince. To avoid being shot on sight, he’s forced to assume the shape of one of the human’s primitive four-legged pets. But as a mysterious ailment threatens to compromise his disguise, he seeks refuge with a breathtaking female who turns out to be as strong as she is sweet, and his plan to escape goes to the dogs. 

Jaron and Bren are a pair of roguish adventurers only hoping for one big score. Unfortunately, things never work out that easy. Whether facing packs of hungry goblins, armies of marauding orcs, malevolent cults, or even the mythical Galackin, the odds always seem to be stacked against this intrepid duo. This is a collection of 10 fantasy flash fiction stories, each with a comedic bent. Fans of the Discworld will enjoy the situational humor, while lovers of traditional fantasy will enjoy seeing common fantasy tropes in a different light.

The plan—abduct visiting Ambassador Keen Draden and use him as a bargaining chip to restore her people’s independence in the Sagittarius Arm. But when the operation unravels, Razor is forced to renegotiate. Light-years away on Heroon, a radical resistance blossoms.

This gold gleamed green in the low light. Kenneth recognized it as sinister from the moment he saw it, shortly before he and fellow soldiers took it from its place of origin. Against his better judgment, he now helps his comrades and the temperate Captain Hiram load the treasure onto their ship so they can offer it to the mercenaries they need to tip the scale in the American Revolution; only then can everyone go home. Though they escape unscathed, a great storm and swift-sailing pirate ship await them at sea.
