"A cat hits a spaceship viewport. In hard vacuum. Completely calm. Mouthing: 'You missed the turnoff.'
It gets worse from there.
Cargo hauler Jarik Venn just wanted to deliver freeze-dried rations and avoid toll stations. Instead, he rescued a reality-warping cat from the vacuum of space, became wanted in nine sectors, and accidentally destroyed a government starship with a weaponized hairball.
The cat's name is Brentley. He's a pathological liar, an escaped familiar, and possibly the most wanted being in three sectors. He's also Jarik's new passenger. Whether Jarik likes it or not.
Now they're being hunted by the Familiar Reclamation Bureau of Licensing—a cosmic agency dedicated to tracking down rogue magical entities and drowning them in paperwork. Their lead agent? Inspector Greeb, a corgi in a tiny vest who quotes regulations like scripture and has a personal vendetta against one particular orange tabby.
Between zero-G slapstick, bureaucratic absurdity, and one catastrophically glowing hairball, Jarik discovers that the universe's rules are more like suggestions. Reality bends around Brentley. Lies occasionally come true. And the Bureau has seventeen different forms for 'harboring a fugitive familiar.'
When Brentley's past catches up to them in the form of a Leviathan-class enforcement frigate, Jarik faces a choice: spend the rest of his life filing paperwork in triplicate, or embrace the chaos and become the galaxy's most wanted transportation provider.
The cat already filed the paperwork. Mentally. Jarik's complicit."
"It’s another blustery summer in Windermere. Remote, fanatical, and superstitious, the holy city is held tight in the vice-like grip of a centuries-long vampire panic. The local Archbishop, Cyril, has devoted his life to snuffing out this sacrilegious source of Windermere’s woes. Not content with spitting in the face of death, the vampires too bewitch the living. Blood that is euphoric and addictive in equal measure flows like liquor down the throats of the bold and the foolish. With every addict, the vampires’ hold over the city tightens. Beset by doubt from both within and without the cathedral walls, Cyril must struggle to retain his political influence over a fractured city, religious control over his suspicious faithful, and spiritual control over his own – supposedly unbending – faith. And as the church’s well-kept secrets threaten to crawl into the light, Cyril must either find answers, or write them himself."
"A cosmic disaster has struck the territory of Uh. A portal to the Darkworld has opened.
With the portal open, the Demon King Oh—the god of destruction and chaos—will extend an empire of supermarkets that will make the territory an industrious wasteland full of slaves.
DJ is the only one who has heard the Demon King’s plans firsthand, and with Sir Dashing kidnapped and employed by the evil god, DJ is the only one equipped to stop the incoming terror.
With the help of Riley, Francis, and Steve, DJ will embark on another grand quest not for respect, but for survival."

"The beginning of a new fantasy epoch from debut author, Kaden Love. Perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson, George R. R. Martin, and Joe Abercrombie.
Forced to appease the policies of a foreign fiefdom, Phenmir must do the unthinkable: harvest organs from infants.
Ten years ago, a new generation of children began to manifest abilities from the gods. Now, nearly half of the continent has chosen to graft the organs granting the abilities into adults. These gifted children are no longer the only ones with divine power.
Phenmir will no longer participate, but can he repent his sin before all morality is lost?
Meanwhile, Aerhee will give all to preserve the process of harvesting, silencing those who oppose her people.
Will this land of peace resort to the barbaric practice of war? In a battle of preservation and progression, there can only be one victor."
"Sir Dashing Junior was only knighted because they couldn't knight his father twice. Now he's determined to prove he's worthy of his new title.
With an aspiring ranger, an awkward friar, and a book-loving orc, DJ will venture across the territory of Uh to reach the Amulet of the Goddess, proving that he’s truly worthy of knighthood.
Along the way, he and his companions will encounter a cursed author, a violent noodle cult, democratic goblins, and a whole lot more.
It’s a journey fraught with danger and discovery, and the territory is rich with monsters and magic, so is DJ’s quest for respect really worth the cost?"
