It all comes down to this: either Montana and Clyde work together and save the Empire, or a doomsday cult destroys everything, unraveling reality itself.   In the blockbuster crossover event of the year, two legendary heroes collide in Eric Ugland's most ambitious novel yet— Bad to the Throne.   Montana, the lovable lunk with a heart of gold, thought he'd seen it all. Monsters, magic, and more near-death (and actual death) experiences than he can count. But after taking down an entire army single-handedly in order to save his dukedom, Montana realizes might actually be in over his head this time.   Enter Clyde — snarky, savvy, and surprisingly principled. These two unlikely allies must join forces, combining Montana's brawn with Clyde's brains to outmaneuver a fanatical sect bent on world destruction.   From glittering high-society balls to grimy cavern crawls, our heroes navigate a treacherous landscape of political intrigue and occult rituals. Listen in as they compare notes on adjusting from average Joes to world-saving champions, all while racing to keep a lunatic from ascending the throne.   These two will need every skill they've honed in their new lives — and every lesson learned from their old ones—to prevent an apocalypse.   Two series. Two heroes. One earth-shattering tale. Bad to the Throne is the LitRPG event you can't afford to miss.

Society disables us more than autism ever could 'My brain's still fizzing, my heart's still sore and I'm already re-reading' Sally Phillips Virginia's son Danny has a way of lighting up a room. He's warm, personable and has an infectious laugh. He forms lasting relationships and has known his best friend since they were little. He is also nonverbal and autistic, and requires round-the-clock care and a liquid diet. And for this reason, there are many who would rather not encounter Danny. Challenging the view that autism is something that needs to be 'cured', Virginia Bovell testifies to the extraordinary care Danny has received for over 30 years and the everyday kindness and decency of the people – 'the band of angels' – that surround him.

The Marquess’ Quest for Love (The Strongs of Shadowcrest, Book Six)

I've loved Henry Hensley since I was seven years old. We've gone from best friends to lovers to nothing. To most people, he's the Chicago Falcons starting right winger and hot single dad, but to me, he's my first boyfriend, my first kiss, my first love. Eight years ago, that all changed when our lives took us in two different directions. Our break-up almost broke me, so I kept my distance until our hometown called me back to where our story began. I promised myself a quick visit to help my family out, and then I'd leave town before he even knew I was back, which should have been easy. He's way too busy being a professional hockey player and raising his son to ever find out. Of course, I'm only in town for a week before I run into him, and one thing is clear from our brief encounter—Henry wants to hash out our past, whereas I'd rather forget it. But my plan really goes up in flames when I take a temporary substitute...
