Dark Creation

For Clive, death isn't the end. But with almost a year until his body is reborn, it is a dangerous setback. With Armies to lead, alliances to maintain, and enemies ranging from the gods to the imminent return of the psychopath Natom Hilgresh, he needs a workaround. He needs an Avatar. Achieving this lofty aim will require sacrifice and hard work—for his followers, at least. So while Clive practices with his ethereal powers, they attempt to push their budding god up through the Ethereal Stages and bring him back to the world of the living.

Terraform the barrens. Create life with your bare hands. And defeat the wild hunt. Garrett Andrews will have to do all that, plus develop a mining colony on two separate planets if he wants to stand a chance at defeating the ancient, primordial evil bent on destroying the universe.

Acarus, an in-game god, has developed a virus to infect players and propagate into the real world. Can Hollen find a new host before the server crashes or the moderators delete them all?

Of course, it isn’t exactly a Sunday stroll. Navigating unforgiving terrain across the war-torn country of Kalabri, the vast armies of Destruction and Justice swarm the land, killing everyone in their path.

Loyalties are in question, and inner strife threatens to crumble the fragile unity among Kariayla, her daughter Charasida, Wraith, Scorch, and the Demon.

In the mercantile realm of Minarin, greed weaves a tapestry of despair, and a prophecy of destruction draws in discredited wizard Arthur Wells as he attempts to prove his innovative prophesying methods. Armed with his predictions, he finds the reality outside his tower far more puzzling than a simple vision. While food prices soar, Lee faces starvation in his home in the sunless Moltam Forest. When news of a quest for a relic promises salvation for his family, he throws himself into a world full of danger that he barely understands.
