Here’s the set-up:

If Harry Potter lived in Middle Earth and had to loot dungeons to pay his school fees

When Jack Vance’s grandfather is murdered, his dying words are to get Jack to promise to attend Darkthorn Academy. Jack doesn’t like it, but he’ll do what is necessary to honor the man who raised him.

Surviving Darkthorn Academy won’t be easy. Jack will have to make alliances, learn to harness magic and face dangerous enemies, both alive and dead. If he’s lucky he might just make it to second year.

A coming of age, sword and sorcery fantasy adventure with gamelit aspects, including a slightly overpowered MC, a dragon companion, and a team of adventurers. Inspired by games like Skyrim and Diablo 2 and Fallout.

Here’s the set-up:

Episode 1 in the Judicator Series.
Hera is sent by the Inquisition to a feral planet on the fringes of the galactic East, there to investigate a Warp anomaly. She takes a Sergeant, a Super-mutant, and a Technomancer for the mission. They discover a tribe of primitive humans, pure of gene-stock, who worship a giant, alien craft made of beautiful, horned ivory. Hera’s team begins to explore the xeno construct, for within its caverns lies the source of the mysterious Warp signature. Wonder and peril awaits them, the most strange and gruesome kind…

Read this short story because:
Across the Principalities, few individuals shoulder so heavy a burden as rooting out diabolism, alien infiltrators, and sedition. All labor and sacrifice to protect Humanity – flesh, intellect, and soul. Hera is one such person, a Judicator with a spike of ice for a heart, steely mind, mismatched eyes of pale grey and brown, and laser-shaven skull. Though uncompromising, judicious, and loyal unto death, she carries a grave secret of the Dark Divine. Hera is marked with the crooked biskelion of Suthanat, the Elder Lord of Decay and Master of Unlife.

Here’s the set-up:

Enter a darkened world where, so far, no one has won World War I and now dark monsters are choosing sides in the World First Wizard Complete Series boxed set. Dive into a double fisted tale of war, magic, and bloody conspiracies in the grim alternate history of the War to End All Wars.

Witchmarked:At what cost victory?

Milo Volkohne, orphan, criminal, conscript, and unwilling warlock could tell you but you might not like the answer.

It is 1936 and the Great War still rages on, with no armistice in 1918 when the Russian Empire crumbled in the fire and blood of stillborn revolution.

The hellish no man’s land has spread like a blight over Europe as grim, unyielding leaders promise a resolve of iron and no mercy, no peace, no hope.

It would take a miracle to save humanity, but as Milo would tell you: be careful what you wish for.

Plunging into a world of sorcery, treachery, and madness the world’s first wizard will bargain with monsters, human or otherwise, fight for his life, and dare to hope that he’s selling his soul for something worthwhile.

But is any price too high to end the War to end all Wars?

Sorcerybound:

The weight of the world would be enough but what if the world is on fire?

Well, then you fight fire with fire, and maybe a few of the undead for good measure, if you are Milo Volkohne that is.

But Milo’s cracking as the War grinds on.

Armies move and monsters scheme from the shadows as the fate of an entire nation hangs in the balance.

So no one’s got time for a broken wizard, even if he’s the only one.

Doomsday plots wait for no witch so with few new allies and too many new enemies, Milo’s going to have his work cut out for him.

At least it’s not the end of the world, right?

Wizardborn:

The War to End All Wars just got personal.

The World’s First Wizard was dragged into this fight kicking and screaming, but now that the dark conspiracies have dredged up specters of his past, Milo is determined to put them down once and for all.

His power growing with the stakes, Milo faces foes, human and otherwise, with aims that threaten to reshape the world, and they’re willing to do it at the cost of millions of souls. Milo, hero or not, can’t stand by, and so with his deathless bodyguard and fey girlfriend, he plunges into the dark, swimming upstream all the way.

But these waters are filled with hungry things, lurking just beneath the surface, things with long teeth and no fear of some paltry human sorcerer.

Milo’s going to have his work cut out showing them why humanity is officially off the menu.

Word has just come from the east that the Dark One is launching his largest assault yet, but there is still time to stop him. If, that is, they can find someone good enough to take him on. 

Alex Bound just might be the rider they need.

But a human has never been accepted as a Dragonrider.
