"Hilltown"

by Bill Rogers

Welcome to the End of the World!

Welcome to Hilltown, last stop before the endless Sea. Here, a thousand years after the starship Carpathia crashed, descendants of the castaways have built themselves a trim little village that would be comfortable—if only something else didn't wander the streets at night.

Welcome to the realm of Dean Lansen, the flannel-shirted Thirty-Third Lord Protector. Welcome to a town populated by seekers, wanderers, and misfits, drawn by the dreams they don't understand.

Welcome to life in the ashes of a world that has already been destroyed once…

"Serenya's Song"

by Mysti Parker

No one ever said love was easy...

Serenya Crowe may be a half-elf commoner, but she's no ordinary woman. With the ability to interpret dreams, and a birth defect that forces her to wear gloves, she's endured gossip and the cruelty of her husband, Sebastian, The Earl of Summerwind. All she's ever wanted is to live a quiet life and raise a family. When she meets the new stranger in town, her world and her heart, are turned upside down.

Wood-elf Jayden Ravenwing is an ex-secret agent who wants nothing more than to forget matters of the heart. He left the bustle of Leogard and his failed marriage to make a fresh start in Summerwind. He never planned to fall in love again, especially with the enchanting Serenya Crowe.

When a strange portal opens on the Crowe property, Jayden is thrown into an investigation, knowing that if he fails, Serenya and everyone in the town may die.

Together, he and Serenya must overcome an ancient evil, and their own inner demons, to save Summerwind and find the love they've always dreamed of.

"The Kennaway Woman"

by Daphne Olivier

As famine sweeps across Ireland, Nora O'Neal clings to hope that her lover in America will send for her. Devastated by news that he has married to someone else, she turns to the Kennaway Scheme as her only hope of survival. The plan to send a shipload of destitute women to South Africa on board the Kennaway appears a godsend, but Nora soon discovers a drawback. On arrival, the women are destined to marry German Legionnaires, men settled on land granted to them in the Eastern Cape after the Crimean war.

Nora is horrified at the thought of marrying a stranger but must face the fact that the alternative is starvation. Or life in a whorehouse. When the Kennaway docks in Dublin, she joins the crowd waiting to board.

Soon after landing in East London, Nora meets and marries Johan Detmann, one of the many men seeking a wife. As the pair travel along the lonely road toward her new home, she wonders what lies ahead, unaware that she is about to enter a land troubled by famine, hardships, uprisings and bloody Frontier wars.

"Savagery"

by C. A. Withey

The world can be such a cruel place-especially if you're an anthropomorphic combatant forced to fight and kill in an arena for the entertainment of your bloodthirsty Slaver masters, or one of a dozen furred concubine slaves for an oppressive master. Everley the bullkin gladiator, the felinekin sisters Portia and Fayre, and one silent harekin monk Velius will have to learn to live in the wild, and with each other, if they're to survive the wilderness and escape their enemies outside the walls of Stonetide.

"The Faenum War"

by Dennis K. Hausker

Any war is a horror and the Faenum War is no different. Dave is forced to face the worst choice of his life, a galling dilemma that leaves him staggered, and this is in addition to the task of leading the war against the overwhelming might of the empire. It puts them in deathly peril throughout and they must search their souls for the strength to try to prevail. In the end, after the traumas of fighting against a relentless foe, outnumbered and ever pressed backwards, the time of the master comes and Dave must face a fight against an opponent from beyond. Even with all of this Dave is still Dave and he never loses his goodness and his hope of salvation for all.
