Exploring the remnants of ancient civilizations is not an activity that appears anywhere on Emilio's bucket list. Yet he has no choice when his best friend drags him along on a tour through Peru. During a visit to a ruin, a mysterious girl leads them into a forbidden area. A bright light engulfs them, and when they open their eyes again, the temple has been restored to its former glory. They have traveled more than a thousand years back in time. To explain their sudden appearance to the priests, Emilio pretends to be a god. The ruler of the Moche invites them as honored guests to a ritual festival. When prisoners are sacrificed before their eyes, keeping up the act becomes nearly impossible. The ruler orders Emilio to prove his divinity by killing a mythical creature-one Emilio seriously doubts even exists. Until he succeeds, his best friend is forced to work as a slave. Knowing he can't even catch a fish, Emilio's chances of surviving in the wilderness seem grim. The fear that he and Juan are doomed to die in the distant past grips him like iron and drives him to take life-threatening risks.

What if Destiny requires Consent? "When Sky and Earth embrace, so shall be born the final God of the Untamed Wilds, he who is marked by Balance, and who shall overthrow the Nephilim of Va Allae even while crushing the Faeries of Haedel underfoot." - Prophecy of the Wild God Vydahr is a young Angel - a vampiric race of powerful magical beings that live for centuries - who lives with his family in the south-western corner of Naose in a place called the Vale. A place of megafauna and lingering Faerie magic, the Vale is vast and unforgiving to those unprepared for its challenges. Yet young Vydahr - not quite yet 18 at the beginning of this tale - moves through the misty groves and waving meadows as rhythmically as the seasons. In tune with himself and the natural world as he is, Vydahr does not rely on his skills and strength alone. He was raised by a great healer of sternly compassionate demeanor; a soft spoken, fox-clever tinkerer; and a distant warrior-scholar with the curiosity and capacity for mischief of a magpie. With the support of his aunt, uncle, and father as well as a cousin that always seems to find a way to convince Vydahr to participate in varied magical and mundane experiments, the young Angel will go on a journey to discover himself and his place in the world. Will Vydahr's Journey be one of destruction? Of creation? Or perhaps a third path will be revealed along the way... In Wildheart, identity isn't found in isolation, it's forged in the bonds we choose and the ones we're born into. Vydahr's path is anything but paved: marked by prophecy, tested by magic older than empires, and guided by family both bound by blood and found along the way. This is not just another high fantasy draped in rich lore. It's a story that serves a more intimate truth: that belonging gives us the strength to take the first steps toward who we are meant to become. No man is an island - not even a fledgling god.

But the truth is the most terrifying monster of all. Do you dare enter the cave?

In the mud-dark heart of the Mississippi woods, two men haunt each other's legend. Years after Huckleberry Finn vanished into rumor and wilderness, Tom Sawyer returns home a soldier, a husband, and a man built of too many regrets. The war has ended, but another-older and more personal-is waiting. Hidden deep in the bottomland lies a burned Choctaw village, a cache of stolen Yankee gold, and the ghosts of the life Huck made there with Nahele, the woman he loved and lost when soldiers came to steal what wasn't theirs. When word spreads that something valuable sleeps beneath the ashes, ruthless men led by Harland Pike-the raider who torched the village-come hunting. Tom follows rumor into swamp and silence, only to find the impossible: Huck alive, feral, and guarding the ruins where his world was destroyed. Drawn back together by guilt and blood, the once‑friends move through a wilderness alive with memory and menace. Huck lives by the blade and the old laws of the forest; Tom wields words, lies, and the thin authority of civilization. Between them stands the truth of what happened on the night Nahele died-and the gold Pike will kill again to reclaim. Beneath the Cottonwood Rise is a story of reckoning and reconciliation, a Southern frontier epic stitched from loss and stubborn loyalty. In the depths of the wild, two men must decide whether friendship can outlive the ruin of everything else.

Coming to the 'new world' frightened Elise somewhat, but she was forced to come here as a scapegoat for her 'King and Countrymen'. They had chanced upon the Isles some thirty years prior and all attempts at establishing peace with the natives seemed to fail. At the tender age of eighteen, Elise Forglow, youngest daughter to the King and Queen Forglow of Glanz Mainland, was being offered up to the natives as a bribe. What the natives were going to do to her when they receive her, remains a mystery. But this was, in fact, a solution for her parents to attempt to kill two birds with one stone. Elise, even though born and bred in the royal court and high society, has never been able to conform to be the perfect princess her parents desired. Giving her to the natives proved to be a chance to attempt to kill two birds with one stone.

Zanka is a city boy who firmly believes that "nature" is something that should stay behind a 4K screen or, at the very least, a well-paved sidewalk. He went into the woods with a sleek windbreaker, moisture-wicking leggings, and a portable espresso maker. He was prepared for everything-except his own bladder. One quest for a "hygienic" place to pee later, and Zanka is hopelessly lost, his GPS is a paperweight, and he's currently trying to "reason" with a bush. Enter Jabber: a 6'0" forest-dwelling menace with neon-magenta eyes, a loincloth that's seen better decades, and a complete lack of a prefrontal cortex. To Jabber, Zanka isn't a lost hiker; he's a hilarious, loud, and incredibly shiny new pet. Jabber doesn't do "social cues." He does "stalking Zanka from the trees for six hours to laugh at his clumsy walking," "poking Zanka's ears to see if he squeaks," and "eating poisonous berries just for the tingle." He's a manic, masochistic blur of lean muscle and matted dreadlocks who thinks personal space is a suggestion he's happy to ignore. Zanka is horrified. He's covered in mud, his "premium" gear is shredded, and he's pretty sure he's being haunted by a guy who looks like a tweaker Tarzan. But as the nights get cold and the bugs get big, the dynamic shifts. Zanka realizes that while Jabber is a chaotic freak who "paints" with things he shouldn't, he's also the only thing keeping the snakes away. Between Zanka's screaming matches with local insects and Jabber's manic obsession with "grooming" his new favorite human, survival has never been this stressful-or this weirdly domestic. Zanka came looking for the trail; he found a feral boy who treats him like a prize mate and is 100% down to fight a bear for him. Civilization is overrated anyway.
