Mathias Engleborn was rarely considered a normal boy by any standards. A dreamer at heart, his endless imagination made Mathias a joy for some, a curiosity to most, and an outright nightmare for the local librarian. But all the enthusiasm and creativity in the world cannot prepare him for the day that he discovers Crescent Moon, an ancient book full of reluctant secrets and exciting adventures.

As the story resumes, Mathias Engleborn is returned to Lunaria, a vast world of profound magic and possibility. Mathias gladly welcomes the next chapter of the Lunarian Chronicles, and the journeys of a little weed from Bunda-Bas, whose valor is without equal. Now a branded traitor and alleged outlaw, it seems that the weight of the world now rests heavily upon such small shoulders. But there is a promise to fulfill at any cost, and these dangers will not deter the adventures of Theophilus Thistle.

Brandon Andrew Morgan wants and lives a normal life. Well, mostly, anyway. Between his crazy roommates, slacker brother, and the intolerable customers that plague his job, Brandon certainly attempts to make the most of things. But Brandon's world is about to be turned upside down when mankind decides to face a possible doomsday event by doing what they do best: making it worse. Much worse, in fact. Implementing the new Omega Vaccine as a preventative, let's just say the world is not prepared for the side effects that weren't posted on the label.

Kaysa enjoys a carefree life within the cozy village of Quenthell.

Born in peace and plenty, the young elf has no desire to see more than what the next day brings. Yet, soon, chance and circumstance will shatter Kaysa’s world forever, and with it all she knows and loves.

Somehow, Brandon Andrew Morgan survived the Omega Vaccine and the total collapse of society that followed it. And yes, he’s just as surprised about it as you are. But while his brother is off to unknown adventures, Brandon has decided to stick around, make a life for himself, and care for his best buds as they transition to their new lives as vampires.

Welcome once more, friends…back to Berth, back to Lauria, and back to Elsewhere where the spirits ever flow, the insanity comes in healthy doses, and the adventures remain weird, and possibly weirder when time allows. It is Elsewhere after all. And you’re back. Again. Admit it, you’re not here for the booze. And so, with grit, spit, and warmish cheer, we return to the misadventures of Percival Pratchet, our sometimes loveable bard school dropout and more or less “heroic” patron of the mysticalish pub of Elsewhere.

But through the turmoil, she receives hope in the form of a cryptic message: Norryn Ashener may still be alive.

Now, he's got the vampire thing figured out, has a stellar girlfriend, and is co-leader of the illustrious and growing town of Haven. As far as Brandon is concerned, everything is as it should be.

Welcome back to the world of Berth, that wonderous place of hilarious adventure, magical mayhem, cheeky shenanigans and…well, you get the idea. You’ve returned, have you not? Yada, yada, and all that sort of thing. Digression. So back to Elsewhere, that mythical-ish pub of some renown where legends are often not born, but forged from complete insanity and general, overall awkwardness.

Despite overcoming every adversity placed before him, Brandon Andrew Morgan can’t seem to catch a break for long. At the very moment, he’s feeling at the top of the world, fate intervenes with a hearty dose of misfortune plus interest. In a stunning turn of events, Brandon is ditched at the altar, unceremoniously single, and forced to run Haven on his own without so much as an explanation. Suffice to say, he doesn’t take it well.
