Ever since George Washington used them to help topple the British, spies and their networks have helped and hurt America at key moments in history. In this fascinating collection, Paul B. Janeczko probes such stories as that of Elizabeth Van Lew, an aristocrat whose hatred of slavery drove her to be one of the most successful spies in the Civil War; the "Choctaw code talkers," Native Americans who were instrumental in sending secret messages during World War I; and more.

Einer erhebt sich aus der Asche der Apokalypse. Sie nannten ihn den Schwarzen Seraph. Der Junge, der in der inneren Welt des Dungeons als Todesengel bekannt werden sollte. Er überlebte, als alle anderen versagten, schloss den Dungeon ab und musste feststellen, dass sein Sieg bedeutungslos war. Er wurde von Amarath, dem Geist des Dungeons, dafür verflucht, dass er sich skrupellos auf seine Macht konzentriert hatte, und wurde in die Vergangenheit gestoßen, wo er im Körper seines kindlichen Ichs wiedergeboren wurde.

What is it like for a small flap-eared goblin herbalist to play the role of the Dark Sovereign, the main antagonist for Boundless Realm's hundreds of millions of players?

Our hero didn't desire such an unenviable fate, but there is no way back now. But the longer he plays, the better he understands that he is just a pawn in someone else's game.

Dungeon. Quest. Adventure. A journey into madness. When John Younger answered the Regent's call to find a missing prince, he thought it would be an easy way to make some coin. He was wrong. Thrust into a life-or-death battle with creatures only heard about in stories long since forgotten, John finds himself in a dungeon of elder ones and old gods.

Zombies. The fae realm is overrun with zombies. Against all odds, I mastered the magic gifted to me by the gods and won the Faerie Games - a twisted, televised game to the death. After winning the Games, I was supposed to be free to return home to Earth. But that was a lie. Now a deadly plague is rampaging the realm. The Otherworld is dying, and I might have the power to save it. If I can pull it off, it’ll be the perfect bargaining chip to get back home. I’d be a lot more confident if my soulmate, Julian, was fighting by my side. But he broke my heart and turned on me.

I thought I could return home once the Faerie Games were over. I was wrong. Now, Julian and I must complete the dangerous quest given to us by the Empress of the Otherworld. The Holy Wand is out there. We just need to find it. No matter where the journey takes us, we'll destroy anything blocking our path. We have to. Otherwise, we'll be dead.

In the Faerie Games, it’s kill or be killed. And I’m going to survive, no matter what the cost. Who will win the next Emperor of the Villa competition? Will I tell Julian that we’re soulmates? And most importantly - will Julian, Cassia, and I defeat Octavia and make it out of the Games alive? I’ll do whatever’s necessary to survive. Because I’m Selena Pearce - raised by the leaders of Avalon, born of a powerful witch and a faerie prince, and gifted with magic from Jupiter. And I’m not going to let fear control me any longer.

I need to learn how to control my new magic — before it gets me killed. As the first ever Faerie Games player gifted with magic from the king of the gods — Jupiter — all eyes are on me. Especially since I won the first competition of the Games. Now I need to send three other players to fight in the Coliseum until one of them is dead. The two that survive will be gunning for me later. One player will win the Faerie Games and survive. The rest will die. I need to win. If that means getting close to Julian…then that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

Blood is survival for seventeen-year-old Bly, who lives in the poverty-stricken human villages caught between enemy vampire and witch kingdoms. Most of the time, vampires and witches live in uneasy truce, buying human blood for their food and spells. But for two weeks a year, the ceasefire dissolves, and they hold the Revenant Games.

Growing up on the magical island of Avalon should be great...but I have no magic to speak of. And my parents forbid me from leaving. So when I sneak out to Earth for a night and meet a hottie named Julian, of course I say yes to a date with him. But when Julian pulls me through a magical portal, I realize he isn’t human. He’s a half-blood faerie sent to bring me to his realm of the Otherworld. Because apparently, I’m a half-blood faerie, too. And I’ve been chosen to compete in the annual Faerie Games - a brutal, gladiator-like competition where half-bloods fight to the death.

With nothing left, Bly will do whatever it takes to locate her sister.
