I thought I'd left my old life behind me. But then I found myself with a job I couldn't refuse—a counselor at Beldame, a mysterious manor with even more mysterious guests. These guests have problems, which they want me to solve. Professionally, I could deal with humans and their issues—my massive student debt was evidence of that. But these guests aren't human. At least not entirely. One thing's for certain—the boundaries are about to blur at Beldame. And I'll be plucking more than a few forbidden fruits from its garden.

A long time ago, Jol Rivers was granted a favor by the Autarch, a powerful and malevolent entity intent on the conquest of the world. Now, with Jol at the height of his joy, the creature has come to collect on his debt. But Jol Rivers knows he isn’t destined to be the pawn of the Autarch. He embarks on an epic quest to drive back the Autarch’s forces and purge the fiend’s taint from the world. Fortunately for him, he has the love and assistance of five beautiful and powerful women—and magical power the likes of which have never been seen before.

She invites him to the Lyceum, an institute for mages where he can develop this power.

He's banned magic, music, and everything that brings pleasure to the people. He must be stopped.

I thought I was destined for an early grave. Apparently, fate had other plans for me. My name is Jake. After twenty-three years of life, all I have to my name is a dead-end job and an undiagnosed metabolic disorder that has the doctors baffled.

A lot has changed since I turned twenty-three and gained access to the Halls of Magic. Back then, I was stuck in a dead-end job, plagued by a metabolic disorder destined to put me in an early grave. Since accessing the Halls of Magic, I've discovered a cure for my condition, but only if I can unlock all five Aspects of magic.

Yet everything I knew to be true in this world all changed drastically one fateful night... or should I say, it shifted. As it turns out, my father passed on more than his name to me. Something feral and mighty awoke within me, and I knew at once, I would never be the same again. Shortly after, I received an invitation that I didn't expect, a call to attend the mysterious Apex Academy.

When I went to the Caribbean for my friend's bachelor party, I wanted to experience white sand beaches, crystal blue waters, and gorgeous women. I didn't want to almost get assassinated. On the plus side, a beautiful mermaid saved me and magically healed my wounds.
