The war for control of the multiverse is finally coming to a head. What started for Liam as a game has become for King Liam something far more personal, a fight for the home he has made for himself and those he cares for. This conclusion to the saga brings more of what has defined the Crucible Shard series, hard decisions and complex choices as the lines between hero, anti-hero, and villain blur even more.

As the Crucible Shard takes on a new prominence in the larger Universe, this brings new opportunities and dangers greater than any he has yet faced.

When battle lines are drawn, what side shall Liam choose?

The Elves are invading Galea. With evil growing in the southern lands they have come to put an end to it by any means necessary. The forces of evil won't go down easily. Liam Ottani has learned many lessons since first logging into the crucible shard. Attacks must not go unanswered and one must strike where their enemy is weak.

Eric wanted to be a barkeep, like his adoptive father. He wanted only to run the family inn and enjoy his small corner of the world. His dreams weren't of adventure or power. His dreams were modest and humble. His dreams were not to be. As the bastard son of Lord EarthScorn, he had a Knack, which meant he would have to be trained as a wizard for the council. He would have to defend the kingdom from the evils of the outer world.

King Liam has faced many foes since taking the throne, but this one is more personal than most. The God Veros is one of the artificial intelligences from Earth and has been hatching plans and building his base of power for a very long time. The struggle shall make all those involved rediscover who they truly are, and make hard choices for the days to come.

In the future, an artist specializing in historical records creates a piece of art based on three separate accounts of the pandemic. What follows is a patchwork tale of survival and horror as two lovers struggle to survive the undying dead and the collapse of an America turned charnel house. Told as memos from Ground Zero, and later in the journal of a dark tower-like quest by train and foot across a nightmare landscape of ruined cities and raving corpses, the three accounts reveal more than just the grim realities of society's collapse.

But in order to recover the men and women we need to crew the Nimrod Fleet we must infiltrate enemy territory and execute an audacious raid. Success will require all our cunning and guile, pushing each of our unique skills to the limit. It won’t be easy, but what else is new? Worse still, Provost Adra is closing in.

With the unexpected release of the Daemonorg Colossus, Dex and his team face the biggest challenge yet as they tackle the seemingly impossible task of figuring out how to defeat a demon so huge it dwarfs even skyscrapers.

I am Captain Taylor Ray. On the eve of war, a new commander threatens to derail everything that Commander Sarah Sonner and I have fought for.

He had to go. Larry's ride into deep space wasn't just a Sunday jaunt.
