Publisher's summary
Metamancer: (n) One talented in Metamancy, the magic of detecting, altering, canceling, and manipulating magic itself.
To escape political intrigue in the capitol, Sir Jared and Mage Madeline D'Abrac settled in a remote barony on the outskirts of the kingdom. Soon after, a baby in a basket appeared on their doorstep under mysterious circumstances. Fearing a connection to dark and powerful magic, they endeavor to raise him into a non-magical life as a warrior.
As he grows up, Johnny D'Abrac happily trains to be a knight like his father and expects to join the guard to fight in the war with the elves, but soon after he does, death and intrigue interfere. Soon, Johnny finds himself on a path he never dreamed of apprentice to a wizard and friends with an elf. He yearns for stability, but the unseen machinations of others pull him in new directions as he tries to take control of his own life.
It doesn't help that he turns out to have the most feared talent of all Metamancy, the magic of altering magic itself.

Story
After more than 20 years in special operations, USMC Gunnery Sergeant Wolf Mathison wasn’t looking forward to retirement when—implanted with an experimental artificial intelligence—he deployed on his last mission with a platoon of Marine Raiders being sent to the Jovian moon Europa. The USS Jefferson was destroyed en route, though, and only Mathison and three other marines survived. Trapped in stasis, they were hurled into the outer reaches of the solar system, where they wouldn’t be found for hundreds of years.

Story
Terra is Graia's most powerful goddess—after all, her domain is the whole world. But when her apprentice, Typhon, betrays her, the fate of the world is at stake. Typhon launches a siege to subjugate the Kosmos, and the only thing standing between him and total dominion is Terra. She and a motley crew of dissidents come together to reestablish order, but just when peace is within reach, Zeus, their new leader, reveals his true colors. On the surface, he's a benevolent leader—but beneath his glimmering facade, he's just as bad as the tyrannical titans that came before him.

Story
A life spent honing his skills and serving his country hasn’t turned out exactly how Nathaniel Abrams planned, but it’s attracted the attention of the Tower. Ascending to its peak is meant to give anyone whatever they wish for, but all Nate cares about is finding some way to use the skills that seem so useless in civilian life. And if he can prevent a magical wish being given to some maniac (because the Tower seems to love welcoming maniacs through its doors), then that’ll be a bonus. Besides, Nate has an edge.

None of this, however, matters to Adrian. He simply wishes to return home with Isi and heal. To forget the Kurtz labor camps that stole so much from the two of them. But Helheim needs her mages, needs them to stave off the enemies amassing at her gates, and what the Empire of Helheim needs, she ultimately gets...

Story
Evilyn Strogovanna was an elite vampire, her blood came from royalty, sired by none other than the clan elder Vadim Strogovanna. Her purpose was to hunt and kill the shifters and wraiths that threatened the rule of the vampire. But on a routine mission to eliminate a shifter, Evilyn learned that her target, a nine-year-old girl named Mina, also had the blood of the wraiths flowing within her. Evilyn hesitated, and the two bit each other, creating the first true hybrid of all three races.

interesting world
This is a coming-of-age story. It comes with a twist that I like. I hope to get the whole series. This a a world I can get into. The performance is excellent. It started a bit slow as the main character's background was built. But then it got into gear and now I want more.
