Darkness has fallen, and all hope is lost for those that remain to resist the Stygian Horrors... Until a light comes from the most unlikely of places. A young man awakens six months after Atlas fell, with no memories of his own. He does not have a name, he does not have a life. What he does have is a familiar power, and a number. He is known as Five. Five breaks free from his prison, crashing into a world ravaged by fear as the Stygians draw closer to their goal of complete domination. Haunted by visions from a life that is not his own, Five struggles to come to terms with being the hero nobody wanted. Hunted by Silverlight and hated by Archaeans, the last hope Earth has must decide if it's really worth saving people who would rather he never existed. Would you save a world that loathed you, or would you let it burn to the ground? This is where the Argonaut Trilogy concludes, welcome to the end of the world.

David has returned. Three years have passed since the events of Megiddo, and the Kinetic now lives apart from his team back in Valhalla. Of course, his story isn't over yet. That would be too simple.

But these new human enemies are only secondary. Prometheus has returned, hell-bent on unleashing the Archons' final secret from Ragnarok. The end has begun, and before it is over one Argonaut will die. The Apocalypse is near, and Ragnarok will rise. Welcome back.

In his lust for power, Lord Brennan of Coventry Port has his agents scouring the realm for pre-Burning relics.

The door wasn't there that morning. But now it was. And Steven couldn't help but step through. So why is he at the hotel, and why does that man look and sound so much like him? And why does the touch of another suddenly make him want to vomit? - This story originally appeared in the fantastic Sun Kissed Fantasy anthology, hosted by the genuinely wonderful @RebeccaSky! Check out the other amazing stories here: https://www.wattpad.com/289805056-sun-kissed-a-fantasy-anthology-the-door-by-shaun It's actually based in the One King West Hotel in Toronto, where I stayed when visiting Wattpad HQ and the walk Steven takes is the walk to the HQ offices. It was while having breakfast just as Steven does in this story that I came up with the idea.

"Death is a natural part of life," he said simply, leaning against the weathered tree. "It is as certain as the change of seasons, and as unforgiving as the tide. One must either wait for their time, or fight the tide itself. There is nothing as hollow as waiting to die, and I refuse to give in. Not yet." Monsters are real. The worst of them are human. Akane knows that all too well, living as a killer in the service of ancient gods, a pawn in the schemes of warlords out to rule the world by any means necessary. Imprisoned for eight hundred years, unleashed into the modern day, and nothing has changed for the man cursed to lose everything. All that's left is one final chance at a new beginning, one last trail of blood on the long road home. Fight your doom. Break your chains. Live free or die trying.

Max Niekro, the undead juggernaut that brought the Risen into space to war against Earth's enemies, is gone. Left behind are the tattered remnants of the once-mighty force that defeated the Velkin and brought the Vanguard of the Blood to its knees, staring across the Abyss at two old foes that have raised their heads to focus their malevolence on Earth once more. Can Max's neo-shell clone, Two take up the reins that his progenitor carried and lead the Risen once more to victory? Or will two universes burn as a mad god and a K'ethik swarm try to consume the universe whole?
