"Hope has soft edges. Daggers do not. Both can cut deeply. Snow Weiss was born to lead, her silver tongue a perfect counterpoint to her twin sister Rose's raw emotional power. Together, they were destined to bring prosperity to their kingdom as neighboring queens. On vacation at their summer home, the twins rescue a prince cursed into bear form. He makes a childhood promise to wed Snow that Rose scoffs at, knowing they may never meet again. Their return to the palace shatters their idle dreams of a bright future: their mother is struck down by a mysterious illness, leaving their grieving father to fall under the thrall of a powerful Witch. Rose sacrifices her own freedom, smuggling Snow away. Finding herself as an exiled princess trapped in her own kingdom, Snow learns of the despair of her people and begins seeking allies. In a desperate gamble she finds seven dangerous mentors who teach her their own flavor of influence. Learning to fight, sneak, inspire, heal, and even wield poison, the newly-minted rebel queen plans to march on the palace and free her sister. Yet, wielding her power comes with a battle for morality Snow wrestles with daily, leading to one burning question: what is she willing to do to break the Witch's power? The answer is simple, but it most certainly isn't easy."

Rob X Punzel

"An oath of secrecy. Power beyond compare. Too bad it's all snarled in her hair. Rebecca Punzel grew up as an orphan in the slums, only daring to dream small by providing for her found family. In a kingdom where might makes right, and combat skills rule, her first class is practically a curse: golden locks of hair which require no care. Though she's in a hairy situation, she works tirelessly to build a modest life for the other orphans. At fourteen, every valuable in reach seems to get tangled into her curls. Practically overnight, she's blacklisted from working at any reputable business. Losing her internal battle of morality just so she can survive, Rebecca turns to the thieves guild and quickly makes a name for herself as Goldie Locks. But when a job goes wrong and a ruthless alchemist marks her as an endless source of magical material, she has only one option: run. When even that fails, she stakes everything on climbing the Brute Queen's battle tower. The grand prize of the trial of power is protection and status—marriage to the Crown Prince. Her attempt is practically a joke: without combat skills they'd never accept the royal and the orphan as a pair. Luckily, winning isn't the goal, escaping is. After all . . . There's no greater crime than possessing treasure without the strength to hold onto it."

Beauty X Beast

"Metal hearts and war machines. Fight for freedom . . . or surrender to fate. Danielle Tinkersdottir, the shining star of Frontière, has always dreamed of earning a system-granted class that reflects her hard work as a tinkerer alongside her father. Her heart is set on becoming a magic engineer, but on her eighteenth birthday the System crushes the bookish heroine's hopes, granting her the alluring power of an Enchantress. Before she can adjust to this cruel twist, Baron Gasteel Leiter, a relentless noble tasked with recruiting for the kingdom's war effort, demands Danielle's hand in marriage. When she refuses, Gasteel brands her father a traitor, offering the defiant bride three grim choices: marry him, let her father die, or achieve the impossible—convince the System-Forsaken Battle Beast, the cursed Comte, to return to the war. Danielle chooses the impossible. Journeying into the Comte's lair, she faces a monstrous war criminal abandoned by the crown. Though her skills lie in beauty, her wit and determination will decide the continent's fate: the new Enchantress must either heal the broken hero of the kingdom, or awaken the sleeping monster and force him to fight for her future. Only one thing can save the world from a brutal war: a beauty who sees beyond the beast."

Cinder X Bella

"Daughter defiant to the last. A prince with ambitions of inferno. Oh me, oh my. Isabella Vigatori, known as Bella, dreams of perfecting the system-granted ability she inherited from her late mother: Minor Creature Control. Her magic may only impact small creatures like mice and birds, making them loyal companions through song, but Bella is determined to achieve greatness. Yet her father, bitter from losing his wife to a beast she tamed, condemns her ambition as reckless. When Bella refuses to abandon her dreams, her father remarries a shrewd widow, Matringa, who quickly restores the family’s fortunes. But Matringa ensures Bella is relegated to servant status, vanishing her from public view until she forsakes her 'commoner's ambition'. Even so, Bella quietly defies her family, nurturing her forbidden magic in secret. Upon uncovering a dark secret behind Matringa's sudden success, Bella realizes the kingdom itself is in peril. With her wits, loyal creatures, and a desperate plan to gain the ear of Prince Cinder at a royal masquerade, Bella must act fast. If this competent underdog cannot convince the prince to take action, there might not be anyone left in the kingdom for him to rule. A single mouse is prey; but even a Witch fears mischief."

Red X Wolf

"Know when to hold your ground. When to walk away. But especially when to run. Lily Red, known as 'Little Red', has honed her scouting skills under Grandmother's relentless tutelage.

Then she uncovers an invasion already in progress. Wolf Warband has arrived on their peaceful shores, and to Lily's great surprise, their leader immediately marks her as their greatest threat. He's powerful, cunning, and refuses to underestimate her—he recognizes her as his fated rival in prophecy. As Lily races to warn the three city-states before they can be swallowed up, the big bad berserker is always right on her heels. With every encounter and near-miss, the boundary between predator and prey blurs. Why is it that the first person who truly sees her . . . has sworn to hunt her down?"

Dungeon Desolation [Dramatized Adaptation]: Divine Dungeon 4

"'Auras empowering the body to superhuman status. Invocations tearing the land asunder. The war has arrived. The necromantic armies are on the warpath and nowhere is safe—even the sanctuary of the flying dungeon has been threatened. The leadership of nearly all the sentient races has been wiped out, and only the people most suited to repelling the advancing darkness have an intact monarchy. Cal learns quickly that the primary threat is not the far-off war, but the actions of those entrusted with protecting the population. As it turns out, the idea of using a flying dungeon as a war machine is very tempting indeed. Dale has been facing his trials better than anyone could have hoped for, but when the war takes a turn for the worse, his role is forcibly relinquished. Since his only chance at survival is painful and rapid advancement, Dale must learn if his strength of will can develop into strength of flesh.

Dungeon Born [Dramatized Adaptation]: Divine Dungeon 1

"'A powerful dungeon. A sheep-herder turned Noble. Their path to ascendance through cultivation. Conquering dungeons and using them to grow has long been the most efficient way to become a powerful adventurer. The only thing keeping the process from being easy is the Beasts that inhabit these places. Questions plague those entering this particular place of power: Where do the ‘rewards’ of weapons, armor, and heavy gold coins come from? Why is a fluffy bunny charging at me?

Raze

"Humanity on the run. Desperate base building. Dark deeds done during daylight. Joe has started to draw attention to himself and his abilities. While some of the attention is good and allows for personal growth, most of it is from various organizations that feel threatened by the sudden upswing of power that Joe's guild—The Wanderers—are attaining. As the threat to earth begins to reach its peak, all of humanity has a choice: flee to Eternium, or stay for an uncertain future. Some stay, some go, some don't make the choice quickly enough. In Ardania, the human Kingdom is seeing an unprecedented influx of people. Supply and demand is an issue no matter where you go, as a civilization of a few million can't prepare to accept an eighth of Earth's inhabitants at once. Joe sets out to solve problems where he can, but he can't be there for everyone . . . especially when a group of smiling enforcers are working to bring him down."
