Challenge: Unbound Deathlord, Book 1

When virtual reality becomes real enough that people feel as if they’re being transported to another world, Valia Online arrives.

A man running from his past joins the game to forget it all. Calling himself Jack Thorn, he chooses an undead race, Deathlord.

A mage by choice, and a swordsman by necessity, he soon finds out that he’ll need to use much more than magic and steel to survive; strategy, creativity, and carefully chosen words can often accomplish what simple attacks can’t.

As the game becomes too real and touches a part of him that he’d rather leave buried, he is faced with two questions: Who is he, really? And who should he become?

Challenge is book one of the Unbound Deathlord series, a LitRPG saga.

The Greatest Challenge of Them All (Devils Brood Trilogy, Book 3)

[Read by Matthew Brenher]

A nobleman devoted to defending queen and country and a noblewoman wild enough to match his every step race to disrupt the plans of a malignant intelligence shaking England to its very foundations.

Lord Drake Varisey, Marquess of Winchelsea, eldest son and heir of the Duke of Wolverstone, must foil a plot that threatens to shake the foundations of the realm, but the very last lady — nay, noblewoman — he needs assisting him is Lady Louisa Cynster, known throughout the ton as Lady Wild.

For the past nine years, Louisa has suspected that Drake might well be the ideal husband for her, even though he’s assiduous in avoiding her. But she’s now twenty-seven and enough is enough. She believes propinquity will reveal exactly what it is that lies between them, and what better opportunity to work closely with Drake than this latest mission with which he patently needs her help?

Unable to deny Louisa’s abilities or the value of her assistance and powerless to curb her willfulness, Drake is forced to grit his teeth and acquiesce to her sticking by his side if only to ensure her safety. But all too soon, his true feelings for her surface sufficiently for her, perspicacious as she is, to see through his denials, which she then interprets as a challenge.

Even while they gather information, tease out clues, increasingly desperately search for the missing gunpowder, and doggedly pursue the killer responsible for an ever-escalating tally of dead men, thrown together through the hours, he and she learn to trust and appreciate each other. And fed by constant exposure — and blatantly encouraged by her — their desires and hungers swell and grow…

As the barriers between them crumble, the attraction he has for so long restrained burgeons and balloons, until goaded by her near-death, it erupts, and he seizes her — only to be seized in return.

Linked irrevocably and with their wills melded and merged by passion’s fire, with time running out and the evil mastermind’s deadline looming, together, they focus their considerable talents and make one last push to learn the critical truths — to find the gunpowder and unmask the villain behind this far-reaching plot.

Only to discover that they have significantly less time than they’d thought, that the villain’s target is even more crucially fundamental to the realm than they’d imagined, and it’s going to take all that Drake is — as well as all that Louisa as Lady Wild can bring to bear — to defuse the threat, capture the villain, and make all safe and right again.

As they race to the ultimate confrontation, the future of all England rests on their shoulders.

Self Esteem: The 30 Day Challenge To Master Self Esteem, Self Confidence & Self Improvement (Mindset,Self Acceptance,Self Confidence,Self Esteem,Self Improvement,Self Love,Happiness) (Volume 2)

You Are Appreciated – Find Out Why !
Self esteem is the tent pole of human existence. It is the voice that dictates your success rate and how you approach all of life’s different scenarios. It can help you make a new friend, or develop a new relationship. Get that job you always wanted, or the promotion you’ve been eyeing. You can face any day with a confident smile and know that you’ll get through without issue, because your sense of self is strong. Self esteem can pave the way for you in any given scenario when its something you’ve worked on. It controls more areas of your life than you may realize. If your self esteem suffers, it hurts every aspect of your life, and can be damaging to your day to day. Your relationships, both personal and professional. Your career, the opportunities presented to you. The way you view your own body, the way you treat yourself. How you feel when you wake up, and the thoughts you have when you go to sleep. It can change everything. From the simple little things, to the most important big things. The worst thing we can do as people is let our self improvement and development fall to the way side. To let it go unchecked or monitored and fall out of touch with what we need to grow. Not just that, but to believe that we don’t need personal upkeep at all. Every single person in the world needs to take some self-inventory from time to time.

Motivation for Current and Aspiring Endurance Challenge Athletes Vol. 1: Consolidated wisdom from extreme endurance athletes who have been there and done that (Volume 1)

The world of adventure racing and obstacle course races has exploded in the past few years. This rapid expansion has resulted in a number of heavy hitting companies emerging as the standard bearers for difficulty and innovation in this newly minted ‘sport’. While all of them are different in their own way, they center around the objective of getting people outside of a usual or expected setting, pushing some personal boundaries, and in the end allow participants the opportunity to surprise themselves with their ability to overcome their predispositions. One of the facets of these challenges that makes them so hard and interesting is the variability not only between event brands but within the events themselves. These challenges can combine running, load carrying, rope climbing, swimming, dynamic lifts, neck deep mud, sleep deprivation, and hunger all in the same event! This multifaceted nature also makes these sorts of events somewhat overwhelming to prepare for, especially for the uninitiated. But because of this variability, any but the very best and most detailed ‘how to’ book (more like encyclopedia) could hope to prepare people completely. So what to do? Well I don’t have all the solutions (and that is sort of the point of this book) but I figure I can take a stab at helping out those interested by utilizing a learning technique that has never failed me yet: asking those who have gone before you for advice. You can study a task until your eyes itch but sometimes the best information comes from the person in front of you who just successfully completed the task without breaking a sweat.
