Shortly after LJO’s first major event, the vivacious and musically gifted Fau joins Yuto’s ever-growing family, and Yuto finally graduates from newbie status when he moves up to an advanced job class. Meanwhile, another player succeeds in unlocking an Elemental Gate—one of four mysterious locations named after the classical elements of Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. What wonders await Yuto when he stumbles upon another of these gates by chance and decides to embark on a journey?

While chopping down trees in a forest, Yuto and his new friends Ashihana and Sawyer are caught off guard when they suddenly find themselves in the middle of a boss battle! That’s right—it’s time for Yuto’s first boss encounter, as the team faces down a curious foe known as the Shrub Worm. Then, once the dust has settled, it’s time for Yuto to pay another visit to the Sequoia Dryad—this time with the Quick-Eared Cats in tow—to shed some light on the mysteries of the Dryad’s blessings.

LJO–aka Law of Justice Online–is the newest full-dive VRMMORPG to hit the market, and office worker Yuta—or Yuto, as he goes by in the game—is ready to spend his whole vacation immersing himself in the experience. His dream is to become the strongest Tamer, commanding the most powerful monsters, and he’s even willing to shell out the cash to do so! But when he arrives in the world of LJO for the first time, Yuto is shocked to find that the special monster he planned to leave all the fighting to is...a monster dedicated to farming—without a shred of combat ability? Despite it all, Yuto quickly decides that his adventures in this world will involve way less fighting epic battles and way more harvesting plants, as he prepares to take the game at his own pace and with his adorable, trusty companion by his side!

Helen Simpson's third collection is a bold, honest exploration of the trials and the rewards of motherhood. ‘Her stories are - for those who, like me, recognise the truth in every word - like a reprieve... Sharp, poetic and marvellously witty’ Kate Kellaway, Observer Here are tales of a highflyer stuck at an interminable Burns Night celebration, increasingly aware of the babysitter waiting for her at home; an exhausted mother longing for adult conversation but whose son unwittingly precludes it; and a teenage girl whose fraught encounter with a harried mum of one brings newfound appreciation for her own capable mother of four. Most strikingly of all we meet Dorrie, whose efforts to calm her tinderbox of a family leave her struggling to contain her own emotions. Hey Yeah Right Get a Life is a singular achievement: relatable, perceptive and utterly poignant. ‘It's a brilliant, painful, funny and courageous book’ Esther Freud, Guardian

A kingdom divided cannot stand. For those caught in the middle, it means death. For centuries humans and dragons existed side by side in Alveria, bonded by their care of one another. But no longer. After decades with no viable eggs, humans far outnumber dragons, and the survival of the species appears bleak. The outlook for everyday humans is little better as rogue dragons raid and torment villages. Yet it's far worse for the tamers, beaten and killed simply for serving the noble dragons. But eking by at the bottom of Alverian society isn't any easier for seventeen-year-old Kaelan Younger. Harder still when her loyalty to the dragon crown is no secret. But when her dying mother reveals a horrifying truth about her identity, Kaelan is thrust into a world for which she is ill prepared. Faced with a new life at the proving grounds for humans and dragons alike, Kaelan must reconcile not just her past but embrace the future laid out before her. When her responsibilities as an Akademy tamer collide with her feelings for a powerful dragon shifter, it will take everything she has to prepare for the danger threatening them both. The fate of the dragons she has sworn to serve rests in her hands. Now Kaelan is no longer an outsider. She's the enemy.

MEETING MY FATED MATE WAS MAGICAL. Then he rejected me, threw me in the trunk of his car, and sold me into a backwater fighting club full of rabid werewolves. My pack and family have no idea I'm in danger and my inner-wolf is still crying over the guy who rejected me, so I'm on my own. At least I think so, until I realize I have the ability to tame rabid shifters. But I have no idea how to use it--and accidentally end up with a dozen crazed wolves protecting me like I'm their favorite chew toy. The only other sane trapped werewolf is a sexy, infuriating jerk who calls himself Knockout. He might be my ticket out of the fight club, but I don't know if I can trust him. And even if I can, those dozen werewolves who think I'm theirs to protect? They're not letting go. I have to find a way out before I get too attached to the rabid wolves around me... Especially Knockout. Or the gift that's keeping me alive just might become my undoing. *This new adult urban fantasy features sass, cinnamon rolls, and slow burn romance. It is NOT reverse harem.
