God of Fire and Mischief
Loki destroyed everything. He gets to wake up first — and the day he woke up, he chose mischief. His wanderings screech to a halt when he meets Vicky, a grieving widow. To shake her out of her self-destruction, he does the only logical thing: sets her house on fire, then leads her on a merry chase. Fire Marshall Mike Sawyer will do anything — even travel with rogue gods — to solve the mystery of Victoria Joy's disappearance. Post-Ragnarok. Funny, emotional, and subtly devastating.

The Owl's Bastard
A displaced wanderer moving through a world in quiet decay. No quest. Not at first. No chosen one. Or so Dragos assumes. Only the road, what it costs, and the question of whether purpose can be found — or only stumbled into. Melancholic, spiritual, slow-burning.

Endless Runner: Full Metal Unicorn

Thanks to her cousin's bad link, she clicks a button and ends up escorted to an alien wasteland — forced to race for the pleasure of the Overhead, an alien conglomerate. To get home, she has to become a badass metal unicorn master. She has feelings about this.
