A Play from the world of Paydunor 6M, 5W, extras as needed Queen Larrel is dying. The King passed many years ago. She never remarried nor had she any children of her own. In an effort to keep peace with the demon kingdom, she agreed to be the warden of her enemy's daughter, Elisven (Ellie). She took the child as an infant and has grown to love her, as a mother would. Now with the Queen's time running out and Ellie coming of age to marry, she has called on the services of a great collector, a necromancer, a healer and an adventurer. Each of these great people have brought their own apprentices, two of which want Ellie's hand in marriage. While this plays out, the Magistrate, behind the scenes, wants to rid the kingdom of Royal rule and banish the magic of this land. Who else is in his employ? Is Ellie truly loyal to New Trale or is she bound by blood to the demon kingdom? And who is willing to die for revenge, for love, or for spite?

Sera has always been one of the commonfolk, quiet and industrious. But one day she discovers a shocking secret about herself, and realizes that she must embark on a journey that will take her to the very limit of civilization and beyond. Erik grew up as the son of soldiers in a mercenary city, trained for the battlefield when he was just a child. Now a young man, skilled in the arts of combat, he is ready for the greatest assignment of his life. An assignment that will change him forever in ways he may never understand. Evan is the crown prince of a kingdom full of demons ruled by an ancient human bloodline. He lives a privileged life of luxury as enslaved creatures tend to his every whim. But his own pride and vanity have set him on a collision course with the outside world. These three lives converge as Paydunor is brought to the brink of war and plunged into chaos. It is a world of uneasy alliances and desperate betrayals, ebbing tides of love and power, forgotten lies and hopeless truths. And at the heart of it all: the demon stone

Based on economic knowledge and logical reasoning, this book proposes a solution to economic recessions and offers a route for societal change to end capitalism. The author starts with a brief review of the history of economics, and then questions and rejects the trend of recent decades that has seen econometrics replace economic theory. By reviewing the different schools of economic thought and by examining the limitations of existing theories to business cycles and economic growth, the author forms a new theory to explain cyclic economic growth. According to this theory, economic recessions result from innovation scarcity, which in turn results from the flawed design of the patent system. The author suggests a new design for the patent system and envisions that the new design would bring about large economic and societal changes. Under this new patent system, the synergy of the patent and capital markets would ensure that economic recessions could be avoided and that the economy would grow at the highest speed.

One day every hundred years, a town appears, its location and character different every time. It is home to the greatest miracle a man could imagine: a doorway to Heaven itself. The town’s name is Wormwood, and it is due to appear on the 21st September 1889, somewhere in the American Midwest. There are many who hope to be there: travelling preacher Obeisance Hicks and his simple messiah, Soldier Joe; Henry and Harmonium Jones and their freak show pack of outlaws; the Brothers of the Order of Ruth and their sponsor Lord Forset (inventor of the Forset Thunderpack and other incendiary modes of personal transport); and finally, an aging gunslinger with a dark history. They will face dangers both strange and terrible: monstrous animals, predatory towns, armies of mechanical natives, and other things besides. Wormwood defends its secrets, and only the brave and resourceful will survive...

First in the Burn Cycle from “an original, enthralling voice in the steampunk subgenre, and in the Speculative Fiction umbrella at large” (The Book Smugglers). Captain-turned-criminal Jacob Burn is the unlikely survivor of two zeppelin crashes. The first destroyed his career as a pilot, disgracing his nobleman father and ending his life of privilege. But the second threatens to destroy Burn’s whole world—Veridon, an ancient terraced city reborn through The Church of the Algorithm’s recent advances in mechanics, technology, and cog-work. Moments before the Glory of Day wrecked, a former underworld associate of Burn’s handed him an unusual and complicated cog for safekeeping. But the artifact-cog quickly draws Burn unwanted attention—too much of it, from too many of Veridon’s most powerful factions, casting doubt on even his closest allies. A far more dangerous and unpredictable enemy has also joined the manhunt, carving a bloody trail across the city, while Burn’s frantic search for answers only leads to more questions. At the heart of it all, the mysterious cog, which hides a secret potent enough to shake Veridon to its very core, and recast Burn’s entire existence. “From the first chapter Akers keeps the octane on high and never lets off the gas . . . Heart of Veridon had me enrapt with the pulp style story and characters until the last page.” —The Mad Hatter’s Bookshelf & Book Review “An enjoyable novel, absorbing reading with plenty of color and action . . . The setting is the real star . . . A very promising debut.” —Fantasy Magazine
