In a world where magic elevates men beyond their nature, one warrior exists to end them.
The Wizard Slayer
Fantasy · Dark Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure
Our take
In a world where magic elevates men beyond their nature, one warrior exists to end them. Marked as a monster since birth, Krael earns his name hunting those who wield forbidden power. When a royal command clashes with his personal war against sorcery, The Wizard Slayer delivers a brutal sword and sorcery tale driven by vengeance, moral defiance, and the cost of standing against gods made by magick.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Magick turns men into gods. Men were not born to be gods.
Krael was no ordinary barbarian. Born in the savage north, his people were more animal than human. His fangs and terrifying stature always kept him from fitting in with civilized humanity. To most, Krael was just a monster. But a select few knew him for his true talents. Those select few called him the Wizard Slayer.
When rumors of a rogue sorcerer reach the king of Saidal’s ears, he enlists Krael to bring him to justice. But Krael is no mere bounty hunter. The Wizard Slayer’s crusade against magic is a personal one. Though the king wished to keep the sorcerer alive, Krael has more fatal plans in store...
Battling those who use magic is never easy. It is even more difficult when corrupt nobility seeks to coerce you. Yet Krael will not bend the knee. By blood and steel, he will continue to fight for what he believes in, no matter the cost.

A prince destroys a city, dies a hero, and lives to regret surviving.
The Price of Power
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
A prince destroys a city, dies a hero, and lives to regret surviving. As war spreads and rival powers maneuver for control, three lives are drawn into a collision between political ambition and apocalyptic prophecy. In The Price of Power, fallen royalty, inherited bloodlines, and unwanted foresight drive a grim epic where every choice demands sacrifice, and refusing the cost may doom the world itself.

About the book
"For fans of Joe Abercrombie's First Law and George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire." - Grimdark Magazine.
Prince Barodane could not hold back the darkness. Not even in himself. He laid an innocent city in its grave and then died a hero.
In his absence, war whispers across the land.
Power-hungry highborn dispatch spies and assassins to the shadows as they maneuver for the throne, while an even greater threat rises in the South. Monsters and cultists flock to the banners of a mad prophet determined to control reality…and then shatter it.
Destiny stalks three to the brink of oblivion.
A dead prince who isn’t dead. Barodane buried his shameful past in a stupor of drugs, drink, and crime. Now, he’d rather watch the world fall apart than wear the crown again.
An orphan with hero’s blood who's forced to make a harrowing choice: betray her country or sacrifice her first love.
And a powerful seer who has no choice at all–her grandson must die.
If any of them fails to pay the price…
The cost will be the world’s complete annihilation.
Perfect for fans of The First Law, A Game of Thrones, The Five Warrior Angels, Ash and Sand, and A Land Fit for Heroes.
"This book feels like a worthy successor to some of the greats of fiction, including Malazan, A Song of Ice and Fire, and Wheel of Time." - Andy Peloquin, author of Darkblade

A man who only plays heroes is taken for one when a desperate world runs out of options.
Kradak the Champion
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
A man who only plays heroes is taken for one when a desperate world runs out of options. When Steve is pulled through a collapsing portal into Arkana, he becomes Kradak by mistake, a champion expected to face monsters, war, and ruin. In Kradak the Champion, survival depends on whether a manufactured legend can grow into something real, shaped by courage, consequence, and unfamiliar worlds colliding.
Choose your retailer
About the book
They call him Kradak, but his friends call him Steve.
Steve's a big guy with a knack for looking heroic — perfect for his role as Kradak in a series of cheesy B-movies. But when a fierce warrior named Rista and her sarcastic goblin sidekick Grint come through a portal from Arkana, they mistake him for the real deal.
They don’t know what a movie is. They only know their world is on the brink of ruin, and they believe Kradak the Champion is their last hope. Before Steve can explain the mix-up, the portal slams shut. Now, he’s trapped in a realm of towering Cyclops, stone-crushing Rock Titans, and battle-hardened trolls.
To survive — and maybe even save Arkana — Steve has to become the hero he’s always pretended to be. With Rista’s relentless courage, Grint’s sharp tongue, and a whole lot of questionable decisions, the fate of two worlds hangs in the balance.
Kradak the Champion is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud sword and sorcery adventure, and the first book in the Arkana duology.

War is declared, but some legacies are too dangerous to march openly.
Half-Bloods Rising
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
War is declared, but some legacies are too dangerous to march openly. When a half-elf named Kealin is forbidden from joining the elven war effort, a hidden truth about his bloodline begins to surface. As prophecy, forbidden magic, and an ancient threat converge, Half-Bloods Rising unfolds as a classic sword and sorcery journey driven by lineage, loyalty, and the cost of awakening long-feared power.
Choose your retailer
About the book
War calls the elves of Urlas to battle. But Kealin, a young half-elf training to be a Sacred Blade, and his three siblings, are forbidden to go. They are not ready, or so they're told. But Kealin's lineage has a dark secret and the High Council of Urlas fears what he may become...
Kealin is about to learn that secret and in the cataclysm emerging, Urlas will wish they had embraced it.
When the soothsayer of Urlas tells Kealin that doom comes for all that left for the war, he and his siblings set off on what may be a one-way journey to the edge of the world. Darkness is upon them and a specter that dwells between the borders of the living realms has been waiting for them.
The Rogue Elf awakens... but is it too late to save those he loves?
A brave group of companions await you:
Kealin- a defiant half-blood that has little care of the purist High Elves and their beliefs. Eager, skilled, and sometimes a bit cocky, he fights with furious zeal to protect those he cares about.
Alri- The only female elf in the group. Her powers are far beyond her brothers. As a potent magic-user training under the best of the arcane masters, she knows much about her deadly art but necromancy is her natural gift. With her, a power unlike that taught in her homeland is just within her grasp yet she doesn't realize it yet.
Taslun- A son after his father's image. Strong, loyal to Urlas, and at 800 years old nearly ready to go before the High Council and be christened as a Blade of Urlas. He is the last anyone expects to become defiant. As the oldest sibling, he naturally desires to look after the young ones. They'll need his skills if they are all to survive.
Calak- The youngest of the males and with equal qualities of being cocky and honorable. While he is capable with a sword, his true gift is in his love of astrology, history, and ancient knowledge. Where he lacks in fighting ability he makes up for what his more 'violence-centric' brothers see as 'boring'.
Valrin- Not an elf but also not a normal human. However, the greatest mystery to the half-elves is his level of knowledge of the vast Glacial Seas and what he seems to know but not say about their quest. A loyal companion that has known of the elven lands and the coming darkness on the seas far before the half-elves left their home, he is the key to much to come. He commands the Aela Sunrise, a not-so-simple sailing vessel crafted by the ancient Sea Peoples of the North.

Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure
Our take
A broken world survives under a bargain that trades restoration for eternal debt. When a divine pact reshapes humanity and fractures her family, Hakara flees to protect what remains of her life, only to be torn from her sister by war and loss.

About the book
In this sweeping epic fantasy comes a story of magic, betrayal, love, and loyalty, where two sisters will clash on opposite sides of a war against the gods.
A divine war shattered the world leaving humanity in ruins. Desperate for hope, they struck a deal with the devious god Kluehnn: He would restore the world to its former glory, but at a price so steep it would keep the mortals indebted to him for eternity. And as each land was transformed, so too were its people changed into strange new forms - if they survived at all.
Hakara is not willing to pay such a price. Desperate to protect herself and her sister, Rasha, she flees her homeland for the safety of a neighboring kingdom. But when tragedy separates them, Hakara is forced to abandon her beloved sister to an unknown fate.
Alone and desperate for answers on the wrong side of the world, Hakara discovers she can channel the magic from the mysterious gems they are forced to mine for Kluehnn. With that discovery comes another: her sister is alive, and the rebels plotting to destroy the God Pact can help rescue her.
But only if Hakara goes to war against a god.

About the book
From the New York Times–bestselling author of Carnivores of Light and Darkness comes the second fantasy adventure in the Journeys of the Catechist saga.
With his two companions—Simna ibn Sind the swordsman and the massive black cat Ahlitah—at his side, Etjole Ehomba continues his honor-driven quest to find the Visioness of Laconda. Imprisoned in the fortress of an evil necromancer, she is both her captor's obsession and his torment.
Seeking to cross the blighted Semordria Ocean, Etjole and his sidekicks find no one willing to risk its legendary monsters—until they meet a collector of rare animals. He points them to the northern realm of Hamacassar, and then drugs them in order to steal Ahlitah. Escaping the man's conjured assassins, the trio head to the Thinking Kingdoms, across snow-covered mountains to Laconda, with danger and dark magic nipping at their heels . . .
"Foster's latest series combines elements of epic fantasy with folkloric motifs in an engaging picaresque tale of a simple man's honor-bound journey into adventure." —Library Journal

"There's no doubt that Alan Dean Foster is a master storyteller. I finished Into the Thinking Kingdoms in a single sitting." —Black Gate
"Splendidly packed with illustrious incidents, not to mention a protagonist who grows steadily more intriguing and enigmatic." —Kirkus Reviews
