"Luciel and his comrades have defeated Dongahar and his demonified men, and the Church of Saint Shurule is safe—for now. But there is no time to rest, as the fight is far from over. A letter written by the traitor himself tells Luciel all about the demonification experiments Blanche and Illumasia have been carrying out, and much to the masochist sage’s dismay, he can no longer delay his journey to these nations.
To survive the trials ahead, he’ll need new allies, starting with a certain magic artificer he’s been meaning to recruit for some time. But the real dilemma lies in choosing where to go first: the dukedom of Blanche—Lumina, Nadia, and Lydia’s home nation? Or the Illumasian Empire, which has been causing Luciel nothing but trouble from the start?
If it were up to him, Luciel would steer clear of both, but alas, the world won’t save itself!"
"The world now has its first sage in over a century! Luciel returns at last from his extended stay in the City in the Sky with wondrous powers in hand, and this displeases a very particular faction within the Church of Saint Shurule. Red carpets were never the timid S-rank’s style, but an armed platoon isn’t exactly what he had in mind for his homecoming either. To make matters worse, just about everywhere Luciel turns is yet another plot in the making.
Four months can really leave a guy out of the loop."
"There’s no time to lose. Luciel and the gang make for Grandol with all haste, on a heroic quest to save a damsel in distress… not. The hapless healer is in no rush to go sticking his neck out for others, but he’s not one to break a promise to an all-powerful dragon.
When they arrive, though, things don’t exactly go as planned, and a detour takes Luciel on yet another rescue mission—this time at an auction. But a bid war is only marginally less lethal than a labyrinth, especially when it’s being run by a shady character who seems to know more than he lets on. And that’s the least of the poor S-rank’s worries. With Brod back around, class is about to be back in session, and it’s looking to be the hardest course in brutality Luciel’s ever taken.
Meanwhile, the healer wonders what it is that keeps making him the center of chaos. Is it the mere whimsy of fate? Or he himself? And what happens when it puts the people he cares about in danger?"
"Luciel arrives at the City in the Sky, hopeful he can retrieve what he’s lost. All is not as it seems, though, as Neldahl holds many secrets in unlikely places. How many of the city’s curious features are merely the proclivities of Lord Reinstar, and how many speak to conspiracy? The S-rank isn’t sure he wants to know, so it’s a good thing he has plenty to occupy him, like hitting the books, practicing magic, and exploring the labyrinthine halls of the Sorcerer’s Guild. The solution to regaining his powers surely lies somewhere within their vast archive of tomes… or so Luciel would like to believe.
But trouble has a way of finding the poor healer-on-hiatus, and unfortunately, he’s grown used to it. It’s only a matter of time before it arrives. The question now is whether he’ll be ready to face it when it does."
"'A light, swoony, escapist YA romcom, ideal for Jenny Han fans' - Guardian
Seyoon Shin knows she's not everyone's favourite teammate - but she does know she's a winner, despite what her deadbeat dad told her on his way out the door. So when Forest Feud - a decades-old wilderness TV game show with a cult following - announces a reboot, she jumps at the chance to win the million-dollar prize.
On the way to the campgrounds, she meets Dean Parker, whose hunger to prove himself rivals her own. When the fierce competition forces the two into an alliance, the producers are quick to frame them as a couple. The romantic angle makes them fast favourites on the show, but their chemistry is only for the cameras . . . right?
As the lines blur between friendship and romance, real life and reality TV, neither Seyoon nor Dean can ignore that the finale is fast approaching - and that only one of them can win."
"His trials and tribulations in Yenice behind him at last, Luciel makes for his next destination: Rockford, followed by the Kingdom of Dwarves. While the Republic of Saint Shurule creaks under the weight of a new wave of human supremacy, the hapless healer’s hopes for an easy mission are short-lived as the journey develops into something far more complicated than he signed up for… again. Something crawls beneath the earth, threatening to topple a precarious monarchy, and there’s more to the magical streets of the artisan’s haven than meets the eye.
Will the Masochist Healer ever catch a break? Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem likely. And the more information that comes to light about his fate, the grimmer Luciel’s future becomes."
"Saint Weirdo returns to the Holy City, and surely a few months of peace and calm await the masochist healer back on his own turf. This time, for sure! Yeah, right. Luciel’s homecoming is less a vacation and more a pitstop on his never-ending list of responsibilities as an S-rank healer. The enigma that is Estia and her connection to the mysterious Lihzalea loom in the background, as all the while the Church continues to reel under the changes its newest S-rank brought so suddenly. The captain of the guard can scarcely get a grip in the wake of such greatness, and in her desperation to match the Saint’s accomplishments, she just might do something drastic.
Meanwhile, the shadows in the dark are always lurking, but closer than ever before… perhaps beneath their very feet."
"With the dragon “slayed” and corruption in the Church uprooted, Luciel returns to Yenice a hero, but a hero’s work is never done. His revolution is ambitious (too ambitious, some might say), and in the wake of change always comes resistance. As it turns out, dragons just might be the least of his worries when he realizes that the weeds he plucked might have only been a symptom of the City of Freedom’s underlying disease. Politics are a dangerous game and Luciel’s found himself stranded on the board, but is he a player or a pawn?
As the Wicked One’s shadow creeps nearer and the empire’s boot marches ever closer, Luciel’s prospects of a peaceful life seem to slip further and further away."
"The journey to Yenice is long, and Luciel has a big task ahead of him. Charged with reviving a long-defunct branch of the Healer’s Guild in a nation of beastfolk, the S-rank healer’s mission was never going to be easy. But things are made even more complicated when it is revealed that the country is home to its own host of problems, and even Luciel’s reputation isn’t enough to keep trouble away. In contrast to his time at the Adventurers Guild, the welcome mat hasn’t exactly been laid out for him, and he’ll have to learn to navigate the murky waters of local affairs or risk falling victim to the schemes that unsavory politicians are concocting from the shadows."
"A dragon rider. A biplane pilot. Two enemy nations, one epic love story.
Essa may be the queen's daughter, but she's the lowest-ranked of all the Skrathan—elite dragon riders tasked with defending their kingdom. When her sister is killed by enemy pilots from across the sea, Essa has a chance to compete in a deadly challenge to replace her as leader of the Skrathan. But because she has only one arm, no one believes she can win.
When a brash, handsome stranger washes up on shore claiming to be a reporter, he offers to train her in the ways of flying. It soon becomes clear he's much more than he seems. Unbeknownst to Essa, he's the famed Silver Wraith, the greatest ace in history, who crash-landed in enemy territory. Essa can't trust him—but he seems to be the only one who believes in her.
As the final challenge approaches, the attraction between Essa and Charlie becomes unbearable. And malevolent factions in the court are watching and plotting. Will Essa be able to win the challenge and claim the crown, or will her desire for Charlie bring ruin upon her—and the entire kingdom?
Dragons and Aces is an enemies-to-lovers romantasy series featuring a morally gray love interest, mistaken identity, court intrigue, and spice. For mature listeners."
"One moment, a certain salaryman is on cloud nine, that promotion finally within his grasp, and the next, he’s keeled over pain, and that was all she wrote. Luckily for him, fate had a bit more to say. A world of magic, monsters, and other such life-shortening entities await his newly reincarnated self for a second shot at life. With nothing but his past-life experiences and sharp business skills to guide him in the foreign lands of Galdardia, he takes up the name Luciel and vows that his (next) demise will be from naught but old age. And what better way to avoid a(nother) gruesome death, than by taking up a nice, cushy job as a healer?
But getting by in another world doesn’t come easy, or cheap. It’ll take a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to hone the skills he needs to make his way. But make it he will… or die (again) trying!"
"Change is coming for the Church of Saint Shurule, and Luciel’s first act as an S-rank healer is one that promises to shake the very foundations of the healing profession. But leave it to the ignorant masochist to find himself once again in way over his head in the process. The shoes that he’s inadvertently stepped into—those of his legendary predecessor—won’t be easy to fill, and the whole “imprisoned dragons” debacle continues to loom over the hapless young man as he struggles to move forward.
But as they say, preparation is key. Leadership, an ever-growing harem of old men, and backyard barbecues are just some of the trials that await this unusual protagonist as the next chapter of Saint Weirdo's path to greatness begins."
