Old Dark is a viperous dragon lord who rules the world with brute force. For 200 years, he and his dragons have terrorized humanity, forcing it to pay tribute or die. Dark's palace of blood and bone sits on caverns of treasure. He's stockpiled all the world's magic for his own personal use, making him akin to a god. There is another dragon in Dark's inner circle who wants Dark's power and fortune for himself. And if Dark doesn't stop his own overthrow, he'll suffer a fate far worse than death. But Dark won't fall easily. There's a reason the ancients called him Dark the Wicked.

When another android agent goes maverick and starts a killing spree, the fallout could shatter the alliance between humans and androids forever.

Now that Old Dark has escaped into Magic Hope City, all hell has broken loose. Everyone fears the dragon lord, and everyone wants him dead. An old friend from the past helps Dark prepare for his rise to power and glory again. But there is always a price to pay for revenge. And Dark is ready to pay whatever it takes. In this third and final book of the epic fantasy series The Last Dragon Lord, the world is about to find out why the ancients called him Dark the Wicked.

He wanted to bring his fiancée back from the dead. If he's not careful, he'll join her. Evans's world was turned upside down when he lost his fiancée Senna in a tragic accident. He misses her so desperately that he's resorted to the dark arts to bring her back. Frank Altemus is a doctor with strange connections to the occult who promises to revive Senna from the afterlife in exchange for Rohan's help on a "special" expedition.

Rohan Evans can't live in a world without his wife, so he turns to magic—even opening himself up to a man with access to the ancient, forbidden art of necromancy. Now the only thing standing between Rohan and being reunited with his true love is a dangerous expedition to ancient temples and underground mysteries—and a crazy old man with strange ambitions. The fate of the world, both ours and the afterlife, rests on what Rohan does next.

Cheesy jokes. Dates. A bachelor pad of his own. After saving the world (twice), Cyrus Grant deserves to enjoy the single life and relax…until a demon possesses his sister. The cure: a ruthless nightclub owner who peddles dangerous magic. He offers anything for a price. And he doesn’t mean dollars. It takes a rat to fight a rat.

Cyrus Grant put his life back together after becoming a rat shifter. New job, new friends, new dating life. Best of all, he landed a first date with a beautiful woman at a French bistro. Go Cyrus! Of course the date is super awkward. Of course he spills a glass of wine on himself while cracking a terrible joke. And OF COURSE a giant, human-sized rat bursts through the window trying to kill him. Just another day in the life of a rat shifter.

Meet Cyrus Grant, rat shifter. Covered in trash? Check. Getting washed through a sewer in a thunderstorm, fighting for his life? Check. Hunted by a mad scientist and an evil fae? Ugh. Just another day in the life of a rat shifter… All Cyrus wanted to do was find a job so he could stop sleeping on his sister's couch. Getting turned into a rat? Not on his to-do list. Aren't shifters supposed to be lions, bears, and dudes with hairy man chests? Somebody missed the memo.

The year is 2300. Humans and androids live in peace after a devastating singularity and years of war. Xandifer "X" Crenshaw is a special agent android for the United Earth Alliance. His job is to track down rogue androids and destroy them to keep the world safe. When another android agent goes maverick and starts a killing spree, the fallout could shatter the alliance between humans and androids forever. X hunts him down, but what seems like a simple operation turns weird fast when X discovers that he's up against something far more sinister.

He thought he left the spirit world behind him. He was dead wrong. Rohan defeated the evil Frank Altemus, but now it's his ghost he has to worry about. To make matters worse, Altemus obtains a stone tablet with the magic needed to settle the score. Rohan's only hope is a woman named Nora, a reluctant necromancer who wants nothing to do with the journey. Rohan and Nora will have to work together to stop Altemus from using the tablet to rewrite the rules of the afterlife.

The world has quite literally gone to hell. Rohan and Nora find themselves stranded and without transportation in a world where spirits and demons are wreaking havoc. The battle for the world’s survival depends on them. But along the way, they'll discover others with powers that may be able to help in this spiritual warfare. Will they find a way to banish the demons or, in the end, find themselves in their own eternal hell?
