Dr. Malbec beginnt sich zu fragen, was da draußen vor sich geht, denn außer ihr dürfte es keine Überlebenden geben.

Wissenschaftler der NASA schlagen Alarm, als sich ein massiver koronaler Massenauswurf der Sonne ankündigt. Als der Plasmasturm über die Erde hinwegfegt, sind Polarlichter bis zum Äquator zu sehen, und in Indonesiens Hauptstadt Jakarta kommt es zu einem merkwürdigen Phänomen: Obwohl landesweit der Strom zur Sicherheit abgeschaltet worden ist, glühen sämtliche Lampen der Stadt, als die Welt in Dunkelheit versinkt.

One more step toward vengeance, but another toward war. Alexandra's dungeon has finally been discovered. As news of her existence ripples through the world, empires and kingdoms take notice… and prepare for war. Her isolated dungeon sits between two nations with a rivalry centuries in the...

The time for liberation has come. With the Republic's army now on their side, Alexandra and her allies can finally look north—towards the embattled Asarian Kingdom, deep in the throes of civil war, as the slavers of Sunrise besiege its capital. They must liberate Darthar, the jewel of the wastelands, if they are to restore the connection Rebirth had with the Duchy of Sarth and what remains of the kingdom beyond. Meanwhile, ever so slowly, the world marches towards annihilation, as conspiracies millennia in the making reach their crescendo, and the entire planet teeters on the brink.

The Republic's black ops have failed to take over Rebirth and steal Alexandra's dungeon core for the last time. All pretenses are finally cast aside as the Republic's army is ordered to march on Rebirth and start a war the entire continent has been dreading for over a century. Alexandra and her allies prepare for the inevitable. Rebirth gathers foes of the Republic from all over the continent while Alexandra begins assembling her secret army, ready to take the fight to the surface and to the Republic itself. But as Alexandra prepares to crush the Republic, more sinister events are afoot.

Alexandra has survived the Republic's kidnapping attempt, and it has only reinforced her conviction. She must build up her forces and create an army vast enough that no one will ever dare to attack again. Or, failing that, an army large enough to eradicate her enemies no matter where they run. Meanwhile, her two noble allies are finding themselves in a delicate position. Their dungeon town, although prosperous, is threatened from all sides. They are forced to make more and more unsavory alliances to stay ahead of their foes.

Als die Besatzung der Ares-9 Marsmission mit dem Ziel aufbricht, eine ständig bewohnte Basis zu errichten, ahnt sie nicht, was sich unter dem roten Staub des Nachbarplaneten verbirgt. Zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte wird klar, dass die Menschheit nicht allein im Weltraum ist. Das Artefakt, das sie im Staub des toten Planeten entdecken, verändert nicht nur das Verständnis der Menschen über ihren Platz im Universum, es birgt in seinem Innersten auch ein todbringendes Geheimnis.

Daisy and Frederica Linden have tracked their missing father to Bodie, the most dangerous town in the Wild West, where bad men murder without guilt and single ladies are as rare and valuable as gold. Here they must depend upon the help of the society of absent friends, that secret network of boardinghouse keepers who know everyone's business - and make secrets their stock in trade. 

The Republic's army is falling back in shambles, obliterated by Alexandra's might. But even as Alexandra and her allies celebrate their victory, malevolent automata from an age long past move to destroy them. The fight with Seraph might have ended in Alexandra's favor and left her more powerful than ever, but it came with dire consequences. Both relics of the Old World and the custodians of the mysterious God of Fire have taken notice of the upstart dungeon core and have set their own plans in motion.

One ancient mask with earth-bending powers searching for a bearer. One magical retrieval expert who is determined to seal it back in its tomb. At the moment, both are failing at their goals, but Arwen is not about to be bested. So what if she doesn’t know what culture it’s from or where to put it back? She’s smarter than a semi-sentient mask...hopefully. But if the thrice-cursed mask breaks out of her seal one more time, she’s melting it with prejudice, magical backlash be damned.
