A city under siege. An army of bloated monsters. One rag-tag team to save the day.

Jake is just an ordinary guard in training living in the Republic, a safe haven built for those who do not possess the supernatural abilities known as Sol. His days are a boring mix of training, desk work, and the occasional rebel attack to throw things off balance. In a monotonous world where he's never put on real missions, it seems his dream of becoming a fully realized guard is never going to come true.

That is until a horde of pale monsters appear at the west gate.

Thrust into a quest to find the origins of the mysterious beings, alongside the least efficient team possible, Jake must tackle challenges far beyond his capabilities. Sword-wielding mercenaries, sharp-toothed demons, crony kings, and black beasts stand between him and his ultimate goal: to protect the nation and people who supported him since he was orphaned. Will the Sol-less boy have what it takes to fend off his dastardly foes? Or will he suffer the same fate as his dearly departed parents?

A looming rebellion. A covert mission. Hordes of malicious monsters.

Following the Tragedy of Niflheim that was documented in Sol Book One: Void, the Republic receives a mysterious message: a mercenary group known as The Lightning Gang has declared war on the state. With troops limited due to the impending rebellion, recently appointed guard Jake is sent on a covert mission to meet with the group, infiltrate their operations, and learn their plans. Will he be able to convince the young mercenaries to stop their attack before the assault is launched? Or will he be discovered and ruthlessly eliminated? And what of the destroyed villages, reduced to a sea of shattered rubble and pale corpses by an unknown elemental force?

“No functional society should have this many hippies.”

So Dante claims upon encountering the lazy citizens of the floating city of Icarus. His statement isn’t unwarranted, within hours of their arrival Jake and company encounter a number of strange things: an unnaturally docile population, a nation brimming with conspiracy, and an oozing wet, black dragon that stalks the entire island. And that isn’t the end of their troubles. The government seems intent on protecting this beast, which slaughters their citizens by the dozens every time it arrives. Can Jake and company overcome the nation’s insane traditions as well as the creature? Or will the secrets of Icarus remain lost in the shadows of the tyrannical dragon?

The Tournament of Fire begins…

When Sara arrives in the volcanic land at the edge of the Great Desert, she discovers a nation brimming with conflict, where the only means of settling disputes is through violence. Challenged by the combative leader Kai, she must enter the Tournament of Fire: a dangerous event where murder and mutilation are commonplace. Will she overcome her skilled opponents and prove to their leader that strength isn’t everything? Or will she be cut to ribbons by the figure cloaked in the colors of Niflheim?

Expand or settle. Fight or flee. Live or die.

The Woods of the Lost’s citizens have been forced to make such choices their entire lives. Segregated to the haunted forest due to their amorphous Sols - Sols that alter the physical characteristics of the body - the people have learned to be wary of outsiders.

When Jake and Elizabeth stumble into the society, they find it on the verge of civil war between two factions: those who wish to appease the aggressive spirits attacking their homes and those who desire to expand into the outside world. Both leaders are out for blood, intent on ending the war in one final struggle… a struggle which may very well destroy the people they seek to protect.

Will the duo manage to end the war and halt the encroaching army of sentient plants? Or will their budding feelings blind them to the true enemy, lingering deep within the trees and brush?

Three books. Countless monsters. One grand adventure.

Entire villages are going missing overnight. The Republic is under attack by strange white creatures. And it’s up to guard-in-training Jake to get to the bottom of it all.

He’s always wanted adventure. Wasting away behind a desk filling out paperwork has never really been his style. But talk about being careful what you wish for. In the past day, he’s almost been decapitated by a pretty young rebel, been blasted with legendary energy by a foul-mouthed monk, and angered an ice princess who could freeze him in an instant.

Oh yeah, and they’re his new teammates.

Armed with only his sword and his wit, Jake must now navigate the treacherous lands beyond the Republic’s guarding gates. Menacing mercenaries, hollow monsters, and supernatural visitors stand between him and his goal. Will he discover the gruesome fate of the missing villagers? Or will his jaded team fall apart before he can?
