Jason Cosmo is perfectly happy as a woodcutter in the humble village of Lower Hicksnittle-until a stranger tries to kill him, claiming there is a huge price on Jason's head. Overnight, Jason has become the most feared man in the Eleven Kingdoms, with the world's best bounty hunters on his trail.

On the run from mercenaries, Demon Lords, and the sinister Dark Magic Society, Jason teams up with cynical wizard Mercury Boltblaster and winsome twins Sapphrina and Rubis to learn the truth.

Jason's quest takes him from the bright realm of The Gods to the deadly depths of the Incredibly Dark Forest-and into a final confrontation with ultimate evil!

HERO WANTED is Book 1 of my comical Jason Cosmo fantasy adventure series, which continues with NOBLE CAUSE and (soon) ROYAL CRUSH.

Radiance - The Alight Archives Book #1 by Voltino213

A humble potion-maker with barely a token to her name. A bright, responsible daughter as well as a caring sister. A girl with big aspirations and a fiery yearning to study the mystic arts. And now she's a...sorcerer in training? After a life-altering accident, fourteen-year-old Elaine Harwood finds herself standing at the gateway to a new world. She is someone who possesses an above-average aptitude for practicing magic. A mage. However, when her older brother is left unable to walk due to a brutal injury, she is then granted the chance to take his place at Glyph Academy, the most prestigious magic teaching institution in the country. Now all she needs to do is survive a school filled with lunatic teachers, unorthodox classes, and a homeroom crammed with talented yet half-baked nobles. A tall order to be sure. Then again, nobody ever promised becoming a sorcerer would be easy... [Updates Every Tuesday]

Flight of the Gazebo by KentSilverhill

Drome isn't paranoid. The entire world really is out to get him. And that world isn't even Earth. It's a weird hollow world that his whole village ends up in through a thaumaturgic accident. And to make matters worse, as soon as they arrive he's taken hostage. If the creatures who abducted him, and took him to the Imperial Palace, don't kill him first, there's a queue of hostiles, sharpening their knives, right behind them. Luckily Drome escapes with the help of a living skeleton, but that relationship is more than a little strained by Drome's unerring ability to annoy everyone he meets. Getting back to his village won't be easy, seeing as he's not even sure where it is. But he needs to return quickly and warn them of the homicidal imperial troops on their way to wipe out every person in it. That's if someone else doesn't kill him first.

Super Blogger by UC-creates

Love, Crime, Action! When the world's richest blogger is secretly the world's only superhero... you'd think he couldn't have it any better. But throw an alien race of conquerors into the picture, and the 24-year-old Jason Leo McLean is on a mission to save Earth from a fullblown invasion while at the same time sorting out his love life. *** For the longest time, Jason thought he was in love with his highschool crush, Gina Orwell. Even through college, he couldn't seem to get her out of his head. That is until his path links with June Austere, a famous popstar, at a special event. Their brief shared moments make him feel like they're a match made in heaven. A feeling he doesn't have time to process as he constantly battles criminals in his alien tech armor. However, a warrior from the stars arrives on Earth with sinister plans, forcing Jason to switch into the next gear or risk losing everything he holds dear--including Gina, who pops back into his life, all grown and sassy. And then there's Alain Archer, king of New Chronos City's underground, as dangerous as he is elusive. Hence, it's a full plate; two threats and two love interests. So as the galactic warrior hunts him down, the press gets alarmingly curious about his wealth, and his friends become increasingly suspicious, Jason must wear many masks while trying to save the world and get the girl--whoever she may be. As the saying goes; 'You win some, you lose some'. But sometimes you can either win it all or lose it all. ------------------------------------------------ 🏆1st Place winner in the sci-fi category of the 2023 Datura Awards. #FEATURED by @ScienceFiction #FEATURED by @AmbassadorsNG ▪︎▪︎▪︎ *Cover by the awesome @still_just_me ▪︎▪︎▪︎

Fledgling God: Book 1 by taggartm

Never stop a golem's fist with your face. Jason learned that lesson the hard way. Having survived his "Death Experience" that awoke his Magic, Jason discovers a whole new world - full of supernatural wonder - and ruthless cruelty. He came to Louisville hoping for a new beginning and finds so much more - Magic, Acceptance, Friendship and (maybe) Love. Now he's in a mage war - part of a group of guardians trying to defend a strange and wonderful house. His friends are few, a battle mage, a mountain troll, a cheerful grandmother, a mysterious incubus, and a magical kitten. Magic is running low for the home team and the enemy mages are trying every trick in the book to bring down the shields. Jason will have to discover his affinities, what makes him special, before time runs out and Isobel, the mage eater, exacts her revenge. Note: Lots of magic in this book. Gay hero. There is physical violence. If you like "Harry Dresden" and the "Iron Druid" you will enjoy the "Fledgling God" in his first spellbinding novel of Magical Discovery and Mage War.

The Last Knights of Cambria Book 3: Promises of Wizards by kullman

Gideon Saint is fairly certain Saxon bowmen are more agreeable than Year 10s. Life is going good, or at least okay. He's surviving British public school, newly emancipated from his parents, and in his spare time he and his Welsh friends are surviving as rebels. But they can't forever, and King Henry is proposing a bargain. In return for Gideon's help against the French, namely Joan of Arc, England will grant Wales some level of independence. But Joan of Arc is a formidable adversary, and Gideon is well aware King Henry is not to be trusted. The fate of Wales hangs in the balance. Ahem, living people die, dying people live, Henry V is here and he's awesome despite being the main antagonist, everybody is probably gay, swords are described in loving detail, people are not, lovely platonic friendships, did we mention swords? Chaos. Adventure. Invading France. Yes, you may learn something about history, but that's a risk you'll have to take. Trigger/Content: some violence, fantasy violence, and peril. Brief profanity, adoption issues/family issues discussed.

Afterlife: Oblivion #Wattys2024 by astronomist

You die. Game over? Not quite. Welcome to the Afterlife Crucible. Every millennium, lost souls battle for a second shot at life. Forget everything you thought you knew about the afterlife. It's not pearly gates and harps - it's a ruthless gauntlet dreamed up by bored gods with a sick sense of humour. Your regrets become weapons, your sins are armour, and your secrets? Just ammo for your rivals. This is a no-holds-barred war where only the most devious spirits get to breathe again. You'll face nightmares that make Hell look like Disneyland, and opponents who'd sell their own mothers for a chance to win. Ready to fight for your life... after death? I sure as hell wasn't. There I was, barely keeping my head above water, when some prick decided to punch my ticket early. But let's face it - my chances of winning are slimmer than my ex's conscience. Who am I? Jane Doe. Just another dead girl in a sea of corpses... a junkie, a fuckup, a waste of oxygen. Or so I thought...

Days of the Dead Book 1: The Thief's End by kullman

Kit Wren is an inter-dimensional thief, enslaved by some malevolent spirit and force to scrounge through space-time for choice artifacts. His adventures take him across time and the globe, hoping one day to find treasure worthy enough to trade to his cruel master in return for what he wants the most: his voice. His current conquest is a fabled wizard, the now legendary Gideon Saint, of Wales. And Kit may have just met his match. Sequel series to 'Last Knights of Cambria', with some reoccurring characters. Ahem, good people die, bad people live, everyone is inexplicably gay. Robbery. Haunted tombs. Murder. Revenge. Sick burns. Chaos. Drama. What's not to love? Yes, you may learn something about history but that's a risk you're going to have to take. Yes Henry V does show up and yes he's still awesome. Richard the Lionheart is also in this one. This pick-your-problematic-English-monarch-to-simp-for game is getting harder. Trigger/Content Warnings: Some blood and gore. Fantasy violence. Some brief profanity, as well as a couple of homophobic slurs. Slightly more graphic and violent than the Last Knights of Cambia series, though nothing overt. Some mild sensuality, two character kiss. It is discussed characters have kissed. Another two characters embrace in what could be perceived as a romantic manner. Family/domestic violence that may be upsetting to some readers.

Better As A Team (Heroes of Olympus/Lorien Legacies Crossover Fanfic) by Fandom_Lover678

*Completed* Heroes Percy Jackson and John Smith are finally united by one person: Number Two. She may have died years ago, but she's back, and she's not stopping. Even though she still doesn't have legacies, she's powerful. Now named Max, this Garde will stop at nothing to get revenge on the Mogadorian who killed her years ago and the one who 'tricked' her into thinking he was helping her. This book is also a 'what if' book. What if things didn't happen the way they did in the actual books, what if everything changed, because of this one girl? What if the Garde didn't unite yet? What if John didn't meet Sarah? In this action-packed, thrilling book, one unknown Garde will bring two different groups together; demigods and Garde- and even though they're different, both have the same goal: to save their world, with Max in the middle. *Spoilers!* *None of these characters belong to me!*

A Querulous Quest by AnanthVanDerLekh

Book 1 of the series Tales of Strangeness and Charm Three mismatched adventurers set out on a journey that will prove to be far longer and stranger than any of them could possibly anticipate. Driven by a shared interest in an enigmatic device from beyond their world, their quest will forge and test friendships; encounter terrible foes and likely lead to rather a lot of whinging. Do not make the mistake of thinking that this is merely a children's book. It might appear to hold a simple, facile tale of foolish phantasmagoria, but appearances can be deceptive. Follow this story: To Witness Feats of Daring Do, and Quite a Few of Daring Don't The quest is important, except when it isn't, which is often. Despite frequent digressions into philosophical quandaries, unplanned doilies, and fights with fowl, there's sometimes still a faint glimmer of something important happening. This blend of action and absurdity offers readers a mix of excitement and humor. To Read Tales Layered Like a Palimpsest of Madness Each story is written over another, creating layers of hidden meanings that beg to be uncovered. This aspect appeals to readers who enjoy complex narratives that reveal new details upon rereading, adding depth to the experience. Because Grimmbros Is the Hero You Never Knew You Needed Follow Grimmbros as his finely tailored yellow tweed suit with an orange twill running through it gradually falls apart along with his patience with halflings. This characterization provides a relatable hero who embodies charm and frustration, engaging readers with his journey and growth.

The Great Ruse by sunshineandfreedom

"What if we switched?" It's a classic sort of tale. The fiery heroine, Lady Valdis Adalwin, would go to the ends of the earth to avenge her mother after her brutal death in the Fiddleweld Fire five years ago. She still remembers the face of the man who started it all, clear as day, and she will not rest until he is dead by her hand. If finding him means she must disguise as a man and go off to war against the evil magic-wielding realm that set the city aflame, then so be it. Except this story isn't about Val-this is about me, Emerson, the man whose identity Val stole. The ruse was supposed to be a simple one. Switch Roshadian Citizen Papers with my best friend, go to the Royal Ball in her place, and then disappear for a year while Val takes her hero complex to the Border with my army summons. Easy enough, right? Yeah, who were we kidding. So now on top of hiding my ability to use magic, an offense punishable by death, I'll also be thieving the identity of an upper - an offense also punishable by death. Layers of deceit collide in this tale of how I tried to save my life while also learning how to live. Spoiler alert: things don't go according to plan.
