Alex was a gamer.

Gaming wasn’t just a lifestyle. The essence of his favorite hobby was woven into his DNA. At least, that is what his parents liked to say after he pulled an all-night slaughterfest. The hordes of Morlock never saw him coming. What his parents didn’t understand was playing games was Alex’s chance to be the hero.

Gaming was his opportunity to be adventurous without taking risks.

Back in reality, Alex always felt like a different person. He wasn’t the kind of guy who could pull off heroics. He was more likely to end up on the ground with a bruise shaped like Randy’s fist than strike up a conversation with a member of the opposite sex. A problem Alex never seemed to have behind the keyboard.

The release of Revenant Online was going to change everything

Revenant Online wasn’t just a video game. The new system was more like submersive reality. In essence, Alex would become his avatar. Revenant Online would allow him to experience being the hero he always dreamed of. He wouldn’t be clicking his way through fights with his favorite mechanical keyboard. For the first time, Alex would be fighting the battles himself.

Will Revenant Online be what Alex needs to break free from his shell, or just another opportunity to hide from reality?

Helena Tefraine was abducted from her homeland alongside her teenage daughter, her two closest friends, and other women who were in the wrong chapel at the wrong time. She finds herself in Tintar, the only known country in her world where magic exists. Forced into service as a muralist for a foreign king and bound by an arranged betrothal she did not choose, Helena must also unearth buried parts of herself as she perseveres. Her new role does not just challenge her—it awakens her. As she adapts her old life's skills as an illuminator to paint an enemy's throne room, she begins to recover the divine spark within her that refused to be extinguished. A poetic return to the friendship, magic, and romance of Priestess, Illuminator is a companion novel written as a love letter to readers. This is not only a story of survival—it is a story of the soul.

On the first day, she met her match. Then she killed 16 men.

When tossed into the gladiator arena, the delicate girl in the fancy pink dress should be the first to die. She has other plans. Surviving is at the top of Leyli's list. Revenge is a close second.

Having grown up behind the sheltered walls of the Oberhame Palace, she knows what the crowd wants. Her country was built from the scraps of their neighbors. Gladiators are just one part. Evidently, political coups are another, and she's just become a pawn in the games of men. But why is she still alive? They've killed the heir to the throne. Have they gotten to her father? Is the king dead?

In the cell beside her, the man known as the Lion is impressed. The first day, they all cry. Men, women, it doesn't matter. But this one is different. Her tears don't slow her down. They make her stronger, and when he looks in her eyes, he sees it. Her desperation is feral. It means she won't hesitate to do what she has to. She might be cornered, but this bitch is the kind who'll bite.

When he offers advice, she takes it. When she manages to survive, he's pleasantly surprised. Little does he know, he's about to become her best weapon. Leyli isn't merely trying to live through the games. She also wants to protect her father's throne - but to do that, she needs to become someone else. She can no longer be the Princess.

The Lion has to forge the Wolf.
