Only one city stands against the Master, his beautiful and deadly minions, and his legions of soldiers intent on conquering the mortal world. The capital city of the Holy Band of Mages would be an impregnable fortress for any mortal army, but the Master is no mere mortal. He is the most powerful being on the earth and in the heavens. But even this city is a mere stepping stone to the final confrontation with his father, the king of the gods.

Tremendous. Tremendously tremendous. Tremendous in its tremendocity. That is how I would describe book four in the Arena series. I say so. Everyone says so. But mostly, I say so. My best friend, Marc Havak, who I hand-picked to represent the planet Earth in an interstellar gladiatorial competition, has kicked-butt and taken names, as I knew he would. Everyone I pick wins. And they win bigly. But this audiobook, wow, this one is amazing. Intense action with yours truly saving the day and telling these alien losers how much they suck? You're hired.

When aliens came to Earth and said they needed a winner, well, I was busy running America. Fantastically. So, the next best winner was Marc Havak. Through two books he's been funny, handsome, and beaten odds that would have made ordinary men cry like losers. This third book though, I'm telling you, this book is amazing. More of everything you love. Edge-of-your-seat alien battles on fantastic worlds? Win. Smoking hot alien babes who are total 10s? Win. Enough heart and guts from the main character to fill one of my incredible hotels? Win.

When the aliens came down and told us they’d enslave all of the human race if we didn’t send our bigliest warrior to participate in their arena death games, I laughed at them. It was really funny because they obviously didn’t know who they were dealing with. Know what I mean? Then they said they would pick the greatest warrior, and they picked Marc Havak. He seemed like such an average guy, but he was a true-blue American. He even worked as a truck driver! That’s the kind of good guy we want defending us from aliens.  

My fellow Americans, we are here for one reason: the fact that I picked Marc Havak to represent us in the crucible of carnage. Now, before we talk about how fantastic I am at making world leader decisions, let’s talk about how great this sequel is. I've read many sequels, and all were bad. Very very bad. But this one? It's the best. And not just because I'm in it. No. Well, yes. I’m in it, and I always do a fantastic job with everything.

What would you do if you were the most powerful dungeon deity in the world and the bindings keeping you trapped within your dungeon were broken? Would you escape? Would you acquire a party of beautiful female minions? Would you use your new minions to conquer other dungeon deities, consume their magic, and grow even more powerful? Would you take over the world? Would you then take over the heavens and destroy the gods? Yes, you would do all of the above.

Gryff never knew he was the most powerful summoner in the world until a rogue monster attacked his village. Now he's been recruited into the top magical academy, beautiful women are breaking down his dorm-room door, and the headmaster has big, big plans for him. Instead of summoners being maligned by society, Gryff is in a position to make them revered and honored.

Between his studies at the Varle Academy for Gifted Mages and his duties to the monster-response team, Gryff will find himself fighting not just monsters, but bandits, thugs, and a local street gang as well. But hey, no one ever said becoming the world’s greatest summoner while also juggling three hot girlfriends would be easy. Especially when you add a fourth girl to the mix....

Gryff has his hands pretty full in the south. Not only is Varleth still missing, but now Veopa has awakened in the country of Vay. Plus, his women have been emboldened by his hawk wife Freya, and now they all want to bear him children. It’s a hard job, but someone’s gotta do it, and Gryff is certainly not complaining.

Gryff and his friends have spent the last two years battling constant rifts and hunting down ancient ciphers, but now that they’re starting to get some answers, only more questions arise. Gryff will have to be on the top of his game to stay ahead of betrayals, political coups, and goddess monsters from the shadowscape attempting to seduce him. 

Gryff has gained a new power and a new shape-shifting wife. But his impromptu vacation is over. When his Mistral friends find him again, they inform him that Varleth is still missing, and the Archon Veopa has awakened in the country of Vay. Now, it’s up to Gryff to search for his friend and hopefully bring peace to the shape-shifting territories. 

Gryff has finally captured Miralea and Utuni, the two goddesses who wreaked havoc upon the Southern Continent. Now, it’s time to go home. Or…at least that was the plan. But after a surprise rift and a hurricane, Gryff finds himself stranded on an unknown island with his friends nowhere in sight. But he does encounter a shapeshifting warrior princess and gain an awesome new power, so things are definitely looking up. 

The capital Umo Portana has fallen to the goddess Utuni. But Gryff isn’t about to let the rest of Utun fall to the serpent Archon. The only problem is, Utuni’s blood aura makes her legions more powerful with each monster that’s killed, so Gryff and his team realize they’re going to need a little help. Gryff expects maybe a few Utun men to join his cause. He definitely doesn’t anticipate raising his own army. But, with his own forces, Gryff could lay siege to the capital and usurp Utuni once and for all.

As if one Archon loose on the Southern continent wasn’t enough, now the snake-goddess Utuni has awakened. And she’s joined forces with Miralea. But the jaguar goddess is still weak after her defeat at Gryff’s hands, so there’s still a chance for Gryff to capture her. All he has to do is infiltrate enemy territory, travel to the heart of Utun’s capital, and try not to get ritually sacrificed along the way.

As Gryff learns more about the Shadowscape and the god-like Archons that rule it, the stakes keep getting higher. The angel-monster Phi is still hellbent on destroying humanity, so Gryff and his friends must spread out to the far corners of Mistral to make sure she doesn’t succeed. And then they must end her. Once and for all.

Phi might be taken care of, but now another problem arises to the South. Gryff and his team travel to the Southern Continent to address rumors of a risen goddess, and as they trek through the treacherous jungles, Gryff has to keep his wits about him.... Because something is watching.

What would you do if a sniveling slime ball of a king tried to steal one of your harem members/minions? Would you stand for his insult? Or would you kill all of his supporters, take his riches and kingdom for yourself, and rip every last ounce of stolen power from his body? 

Impossible choices. Explosive magic. Brilliant humor. Connor is cursed.... And in Obrion, that means he must obtain patronage from a high lord prior to his 16th birthday, or face execution. Connor turns 16 tomorrow. Should be a simple thing until his small town is invaded. Armies clash, superhuman Petralists step out of legend, and layers of deadly intrigue shatter Connor's simple life. If he stays, he dies. If he leaves, people he loves will die. Some birthdays are like that. And there's this girl.

Gryff and his team have tracked down the Archon Miralea to her temple fortress. But that was the easy part. Now, they must fight their way through her hundreds of crazed followers, continue to survive the perils of the jungle, and try to defeat their third Archon.

Gryff is finally returning to Mistral. But home is not the same as he left it, and neither is he. Now, Gryff has to figure out how to reintegrate himself into his classes and the Academy, just in time for midterms. Oh, and he’s got a wedding to plan, too.
