Against all odds, half-blooded Alex has carved himself a position in the Angleyan Empire as an elite Black Knight with the help of those sympathetic to his plight-at a cost. He's ostracized himself from his own people, the impure races of laborers in the slums, and as a man in a woman's world, he'll never be free of others' cruelest mockeries or rumors. To make matters worse, The Dannic Federation, Angley's most formidable military rival, is once again itching for war against its perennial foe. The Dans would like nothing more than to eradicate every last human being with Angleyan blood from the face of the planet, including half-bloods like Alex. With a genocidal enemy on one front and xenophobia haranguing him from behind, can Alex live up to his duties to the Angleyan Empire or will his resentment cause him to crumble and fail? How much blood will be spilled, regardless of who he decides to hold as his true enemy? A huge shoutout to Aguna Mulciber (@syrahsyarah) for designing this cover. I cannot understate how glad I was that I found a good artist to do so. I would not have been able to design one half as well myself. Highest rank: #3 in 2019undiscovered1k

Ryder Davis has so many questions. Why are there alternate dimensions? Why is the Earth dying? Why isn't he human? Who is the mystery royal of this new magical realm? Who is he really? Being part of a prophecy is a lot of work and he doesn't even know if what he's doing is right. But with a whole team behind him and several newfound enemies, he has to fulfil his destiny even if none of them believe in fate. There are two roads he can go down and no one seems to know which path is the right one, so he'll have to make the decision by himself. Time is ticking, so they'll all have to race the clock. After all, midnight might be the darkest hour, but it's the time when stars shine brightest.

The year is 1230 AO (After Omisha). The Realm of Skatia is under grave danger of treachery, deceitfulness and back-stabbing. As the risk of Blue Epidemic seems to strike again, how will the Realm respond to such adversity? Will the 9 Realms work together to save Skatia or will they leave Skatia to doom?
