Publisher's summary
When the heiress-apparent to the German Empire’s Iron Throne proves incapable of carrying out her royal duties, Duke Maximilian von Wallenstein hatches a plot to temporarily replace her with a lookalike: a psychic Icelandic girl named Kristín Ormsdóttir.
Events quickly spin out of control as murderous international conspiracies derail these plans — forcing Kristín to walk a tightrope, weighed down by deadly secrets.
One slip could land her in prison — or a grave.
A steampunk world based on glittering fin-de-siècle Europe, crackling with intrigue — and hurtling willy-nilly into annihilation-wars and self-destruction.

Story
Damien Mitchell awakens in a fantasy world, with no idea of how or why. It turns out he’s in a lifelike video game, which would be great! Except he’s a peon. Seems the powers-that-be are messing with his destiny, and the best way to bring him down is to throw him into the quarry, where he’s to spend his days mining – at least until the mysterious race, the Seraphyt, comes along. And they've been waiting a long time to get their hands on him. If Damien wants to discover his destiny, he’s got to overthrow and conquer the village Nythera with the only help he can get – other peons....

"All of the good people died three years ago." The Stars fell. Some called it a rebuke by deities. Some called it the Great Filter. The Nightclaws emerged and consumed what is estimated to be over half of the human population. The 'gifts' granted by the Stars still function, their use of technology even thriving in some places as humanity picks up the pieces. But not in Bask.

Story
I was just a cop on my beat when the world ended. My last memory was of an alien death ray ripping me from existence. When I woke up in a strange world, I should have just laid low. But, when you see a woman running from slavers. Well, let's just say they got what they deserved. Only problem is that makes enemies—demigods with the power to bind the magically gifted women of Timeria to their will. I can stop them, with powers bestowed by a god. But, they come with a catch; I must bind these women, the Chosen, to my very soul. Just like the demigods I want to stop.
