THE FIRST CRADLE - BOOK ONE OF THE IRON CRADLE SAGA

The Sun is dying, and there's no saving this world. Engineering grad student Gavin Daniels volunteers for experimental brain emulation technology--humanity's last chance to gain centuries of research time while only days pass on Earth. But the untested cradle connects him to something ancient: a galaxy-spanning competition called the Ascendancy, where Earth's survival is the prize. The rules are brutal. Earth is unrecognized, unprotected, and legally open for conquest. Win, and the planet gains galactic protection. Every victory captures alien technology to fuel humanity's desperate evacuation. Lose, and everything is forfeit. In a genre built on solo heroes grinding for power, Gavin and Earth's champions choose a different path: reincarnating the souls of Earth's dead as spirit-born warriors, building armies instead of going it alone, forging alliances with alien species, and refusing to treat war as a game. But those overseeing the Ascendancy aren't safeguarding peace--they're filtering threats. Culling potential rivals before they can rise. Can Earth's champions survive alien dinosaurs, and a universe that seems to want to crush them? Our only allies, a race that died on Earth before humanity ever took its first steps... Step into the cradle, champion, and find out. THE FIRST CRADLE - THE SECOND CRADLE - A LITRPG ADVENTURE

Healer's Touch (Deadly Touch book 1)

Llew’s father disappeared when she was eleven, leaving her orphaned, as far as she knew. Since then, Llew has learned to survive the streets of the gold-mining town of Cheer – full of opportunistic men and desperation. It’s a hard existence made tougher when Llew's so-called friend accuses her of murder, sending her to the gallows. Llew’s Aenuk ability to absorb life means she doesn’t stay dead for long, but she does leave a trail of death behind her. Escaping the hangman’s noose sees Llew fall into the hands of Jonas: the man with the knife and the Karan power to kill Llew’s kind. If Llew can nurture the attraction he develops for her, maybe she can keep that knife from her heart. But lurking in the shadows is Jonas’s half-brother, Braph: the man who has learned to combine Aenuk and Karan powers into infinite and addictive magical potential. Healer's Touch is a fantasy novel flavoured with a wild west setting, steampunk-like technology, enough romance to draw you in, horror to keep you hooked, and just enough sex to keep things spicy. The Deadly Touch Series: Healer's Touch Warrior's Touch Magician's Touch *May count as Romantasy, but the spice is pretty middling. Goes into dark themes, including torture & rape, but never between the main couple. The first chapters are brutal, but I had to start Llew off somewhere …

The Worst Kobold

Fluke was the worst kobold who ever lived. He was a clumsy, awkward, malformed, 50-ton, thick-scaled, razor-clawed, creature of unimaginable destruction. He caved in the entire east copper mine with a swing of his tail, and he nearly crushedthe hatchery caretaker Tenderclaw beneath his massive feet. He was truly the worst. Now, I know what you're thinking. That... sounds like I'm talking about a dragon. But no. Fluke was confident he was a simple kobold. He knew it. Everyone in the tribe knew it. Hatched from an egg? Check. Raised by kobolds? Check. Lives underground in caves? Check. Clearly, a kobold. Dragons were royalty. Powerful, majestic, titanic beasts of pure elemental power. And Fluke certainly wasn't any of that. After all, no all-powerful dragon would toil away in the mines like he did… right? But when the humans attacked one day, and he saw his friend struck down , Fluke began to learn there might be parts of himself he’s… overlooked. Please, have a seat, and let me tell you about Fluke. The Worst Kobold. A non-zero chance to be an upcoming 3d animated movie! What to expect: Native protagonists. (No LitRPG or Isekai, though I'm a big fan of the genres! A cozy comedy centered around a dragon convinced he's a kobold. No harem! Main character has enough trouble asking out one kobold. Interconnected stories with different points of views, including the badass warrior kobold love interest, the noble prince who'd be the main character elsewhere, and a pluck minorly magic goblin! 48% more kobolds than other stories Art done by: Flar
