Seven years after the dissolution of Project Phoenix, a new assembly of heroes has come into the world's focus: SHADR, the Society of Heroes for Aid, Defense, and Research. Their five directors have made the safety of humanity their byword; beneath their careful oversight metahumans are trained and given the opportunity to defend the world from any threat which might face it. For seven years the peace has lasted. But no longer. An alignment of stars and planets heralds the return of an ancient threat to humanity, one whose weaknesses have been forgotten in the fog of ages. It is up to SHADR to stave off the greatest threat humanity has ever known, but it and its heroes have never faced a menace of such scale. Will they find themselves up to the task? Or will Earth's finest heroes meet their match when it matters most? The third installment of the Hero You Deserve series, The Earth Unwary offers new challenge, new danger, but the same fun and adventure as before. Cover credits: @annie1loves1you

An Author Games tournament, ten writers are pitted up against each other and faced with tasks that challenge their technical ability, emotional representation, and creative skills. Each week a new task is created and participants are eliminated until a lone winner remains. "By the year 2050, Earth discovered a unity once thought the realm of impossibility. Cultures found brotherhood through tolerance, Political corruption surrendered to peace, and atomic energy was being used, not as a weapon, but as an almost limitless source of power. But it didn't last long. In 2090 in the dawn of a new century, people began to awake from the American dream. Years of consumption lead to shortages of every major resource. Tensions resurfaced as the world began to wither. Peace became a distant memory. Now, in 2097 at the brink of planetary collapse and in the face of nuclear fallout, the United Nations funds a programme that is to become the last hope of survival for the human race."

Fresh blood is so overrated

Human or Other? Politics among the various supernatural denizens of Chicago is a messy affair at best; between attending to intra-faction power plays, territorial squabbles, and (most importantly) concealing their very existence from the humans upon whom they feed. On a good day, the state of affairs is volatile. This, of course, is not a good day. ~*~ Truth or lie? When Dragon Prince Dorian is found murdered in his bed, the resulting uproar sets every supernatural faction at each other's throats. To stave off all-out war, a panel of 20 top investigators must tear through the city's darkest secrets in order to find the true culprit. Failure will lead to death. An incorrect accusation will lead to far, far worse- at least for the one accusing. ~*~ Success or failure? War is on the horizon. The clues are in your hands. Can you put them together in time? War or peace? Light or dark? You decide. Cover credit goes to @MagmaKepner

When you kill a king, what remains? A kingdom in chaos and a prince unprepared to rule. When you kill a queen, what remains? A new enemy lurking just across the sea, growing closer with every breath.

A year has gone by since Miguel Santos died leading the Sentries, and Sakura Sato has her work cut out for her. As the new host for the demon and angel who gave Miguel his superhuman might, she's now the World's Mightiest Hero- whether she likes it or not. If there's one thing she's learned from her time in the Sentries, however, it's that she's not ready to do it alone. After all, an Empress without her subjects is just a person, and Sakura's always been more. Mere weeks after her team is completed, however, an unnerving pattern emerges in the criminal activity Sakura has sworn to oppose. Following the trail to its source may lead her to a darkness she had thought long since dead, destroyed by her first actions as a hero. The lead is almost certainly dangerous, but what's the use of otherworldly superhuman might if she can never take a risk? Join Sakura as one of the heroes in Project Phoenix, rising from the shambles of teams in the past to continue The Good Fight with all the joys and sorrows it entails. Featuring guest host RappyTheDinsoaur, this sequel to Author Games: The Hero You Deserve will bring all the adventure of the former with a fiery new flavor.
