Necromancer Dreams of Mechs

Allen Voss is a master of steel, a 17-year-old social recluse who has 100% completed every mech-pilot sim on Earth . For him, life is simple: gears make sense, people don’t. But when he’s convinced to join the fantasy game—partly for the challenge, and partly because of a rare, electric connection with the school's "Ice Princess," Ciara Clarence—the game doesn't just start. It consumes him . Trapped in a hyper-realistic world with no logout button, Allen finds himself in the one role he never wanted: a Necromancer. In a land where humanity is losing a war against monsters, he is branded a villain and a "World Boss." But Allen hasn't given up on his dream of mechs. If the world won't give him steel, he'll forge it from bone and forbidden magic, building a mechanized army of the dead to take on the "Good Pantheon." Yet, the digital ghosts of his parents’ past aren't his only complication. By his side stands Seraphine, a high-ranking Marquis of the realm whose aristocratic steel and unwavering loyalty force Allen to face the weight of his new crown . While she shields him from the judgment of the living, Allen remains haunted by the girl he left in the real world—Ciara, desperately fighting her way into the game. Between a calculating AI Architect, a corporate conspiracy, and a noblewoman who refuses to let him apologize for his nature, Allen must survive in this new world that is shaping around him. From the grave to the stars, Allen will take it all for himself.

My Mate Thinks He's Human

Elaria crossed the sea to bring her mate home. She expected Vaelor to be busy. She expected him to have a very good reason for disappearing into the human world for hundreds of years. She did not expect him to look her in the eye and calmly say: “My name is Valerian.” Even worse, the Duke of Edevane insists that he is human. That dragons are myths. And that the strange young woman who appeared at his estate claiming to be both a dragon and his lifelong mate should probably go home. Unfortunately for Valerian, Elaria knows exactly who he is. Unfortunately for Elaria, her mate has apparently forgotten everything. Now she must survive human society, learn why unmarried men and women are not supposed to sleep in the same room, pretend to be Valerian’s “distant relative,” and somehow convince a perfectly rational duke that he is, in fact, a dragon. Meanwhile, the strange anomalies Valerian has spent his human life hunting may be connected to something far older than either of them remembers. And the closer Elaria gets to the truth, the clearer one thing becomes: Vaelor did not simply forget his way home. He forgot that home ever existed.
