Summary
"You have seen the threads of fate, the way many of them intertwine, and even where some of them end. This is your gift, your burden to bear. The more you use it, the more you will alter the course of fate, in ways you may never even begin to comprehend.”
One moment, they’re Jenna and Frank, two nerdy best friends studying quietly in the library, falling asleep over fantasy novels and chemistry textbooks after a late-night D&D session. The next, they’re Korakiel and Siveldor, waking up in a strange foreign land, with no idea where they are and how they got there- or how to get home.
The pair of friends somehow finds themselves transported to the fantasy world of Exandria. They soon cross paths with Vox Machina, agreeing to help the band of adventurers on their quests until the lost friends can find their way home. But their mere existence in the story sets in motion the threads of fate- and Kora’s not-so-mysterious ability to seemingly tell the future only undoes it further.

Summary
The truth was, Molly remembered more than he would ever admit.
He knew better than to talk about the whispers in the back of his head, the eyes that stared at him at night. He knew better than to acknowledge the other person who lived in his head. If he didn’t look, they couldn’t see him. As far as he was concerned, he was going to live his life as if that thrice-cursed ritual had never happened.
Nonagon, however, had other ideas.
Now with illustrations!

Summary
She wondered to herself if the gods had ever had to fight for their lives before.
She had. She was once mortal. She knew you did not stop until the opponent was incapable of continuing the fight.
And then you destroyed them anyway.
(A character study of the woman before, during, and after the ascension.)

Summary
Maya never imagines a life other than this, other than hanging out with the cool kids from the Sorcerer’s University, running and flying around the vibrant side-streets of Avalir with the wind rustling through her glossy feathers, waking up each morning to the voice of Avalir’s Herald ringing out over Excelsior Plaza.
Maya never imagines a life other than this, but it comes rushing to meet her, anyway.
~
In the final hours before the last sunrise that will ever shine upon the city of Avalir, Patia Por'co sends away her life's work into the hands of a young child, thousands and thousands of miles away. She does so with nothing more than a wild hope, a plea, that someone will continue to carry out the dream that she cannot.
Avalir dies in a rush of fire, soot and pure ether; an arcane marvel is no more.
Avalir is dead. But her memory lives on.

Summary
Vox Machina had earned the attention of the gods and that was something undeniable to the people of Tal’Dorei. Four of the group had already been claimed by the Everlight, the Matron of Death, the Dawnfather, and the Knowing Mistress.
That left three for the remaining gods to potentially claim and while two were obvious choices, the third came as a surprise...
~~~~~~~
Death isn’t the end for Vox Machina. Heroes would come in the future, but the gods were ready to make sure that their legend is far from over.
