Publisher's summary
A knight, sent on a quest by a desperate king, nears his goal of finding Terek’s brother, Arakon. It is believed that only Arakon has the power to challenge his brother. But once found, there is still the matter of a dangerous journey to return home. That journey will take his party through Darkwood, a forest guarded by undead creatures and elves aligned with Terek.
Another group of heroes is led by a crusader with a tragic past and an illusionist fighting to save her marriage. Their journey will take them through the barbaric hills of Taiga and the plains of Parthea. Unbeknownst, they realize too late that Terek has already endeared himself to the Partheans under the guise of a prophet sent by their god.
The Fourth Age chronicles the rise of Terek and the first part of the heroes’ journey to confront him. As events unfold, it becomes apparent that they are racing against time and impending disaster of which only Terek has knowledge. And while the heroes opposing the wizard are formidable, the key to victory may lie in the hands of a seventeen-year-old girl, who is still discovering her true past and the extent of the powers at her command.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

AI narration is awful
The story is weak and the AI narration is monotonous. The pitch of the AI narration is annoying in the same way nails on a chalkboard sounds. I hooe the trend of using AI narration ends soon.
