William Arnold led a simple and unremarkable life until a fateful day when he was stabbed by a fleeing thief. In his final moments, he believed his life had come to an abrupt end, but destiny had other plans. In the afterlife, William encounters Dereus, the God of Death, who admits his mistake in allowing William’s untimely demise. As an apology, Dereus offers him a second chance—a new life in a magical world unlike anything William has ever known. With a kind and forgiving heart, William accepts this gift, hoping for a peaceful existence. However, the powers granted to him are far beyond his expectations. Gifted with the unique abilities "Infinite Void"—which empties his enemies' minds while draining their mana and life force—and "Control Heal", a skill that creates a healing zone capable of restoring health to all within it, William is thrust into a world where peace is a fleeting dream. Reincarnated in the kingdom of Nolwer, a place known for its lush medicinal plants and the vibrant blue eyes of its people, William soon discovers that the world is on the brink of chaos. Ancient evils stir from their slumber, including the demonic forces once sealed by King Georgi Illig. At the heart of this growing darkness lies Null, the Primordial Darkness, who seeks to reclaim the world and reshape it into his image. With powerful allies by his side—James Hiro, Sion Coszeu, Karto Roeland, and Riana Scarlet—William must face the rising threat of the Demon King and ultimately confront Null, the embodiment of pure destruction. But even as William battles these ancient evils, his heart yearns for a life of peace, despite knowing that his destiny is far more perilous.

An aspiring art-intern is invited on a last-minute work-trip to London, where she meets a handsome Stranger.

Until he crashlands on the Wynne Farm near St Anne, Alderney, Edmund Bolton will have insisted the most prudent thing about himself is his medical degree and his willingness to fight fascists. But of course it’s that island, and that farm – and that family. Aidan Wynne is tortured by the shame of others and tormented by a freedom he feels he can never possess. Until the handsome military doctor with far too much understanding and far too little self-preservation comes to turn his life on its head. The war makes fighters of all affected, but none so much as the lovers and those who must love quietly. Often, the fray has less to do with weaponry and bloodshed, and everything to do with keeping tame a passion that seeks to send the world up in flames without burning oneself up in the process. "Once more into the fray, into the last good fight I’ll ever know. Live and die on this day, live and die on this day." Fray is created by Li Walt, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

"Cafra" is a dark fantasy light novel that revolves in the world of Philippine mythology. Monsters born from myths and human corruption destroy his world, Cafra is forced to leave behind a peaceful life and face evil threatening humanity from the shadows. Cafra uncovers a conflict between ancient cosmic beings, Sandipa, guardian of the sun, and Val’Zhemyr, a dark creature who wants to devour the Sun.

In a divided city where power isn’t voted for but spoken into existence, a secret hierarchy rules from the shadows. At the top sits the Don — a figure as untouchable as a prime minister, chosen not by the people, but by a rare, overwhelming ability tied to a phrase so powerful it shapes reality itself. In this world, some people are born with abilities derived from famous phrases — short lines that carry immense symbolic meaning. A boy who inherits “Actions speak louder than words” can mute opponents’ powers unless they physically act. Another with “Time waits for no one” can accelerate or slow moments around him. These phrases define status, wealth, and survival. Two boys from the lowest district — reckless, ambitious, and tired of living powerless — discover they each carry dormant phrases thought to be myths. As their abilities awaken, they realize they might be capable of something unheard of: challenging the Don. But rising through the ranks isn’t just about strength. The world is controlled by syndicates, enforcers, and “Orators” — elite fighters trained to weaponize their phrases with precision. Every victory exposes deeper secrets: the origin of phrases, the truth behind the Don’s rule, and the cost of power itself. As the boys climb higher, their bond is tested by betrayal, ambition, and the growing realization that overthrowing the Don might not fix the world — it might break it completely. In the end, they must decide: Do they want to change the system… or become the very thing they set out to destroy?
