About the book
Myths and legends once again roam the land.
Kalend’s peaceful life at the monastery is shattered when his mentor forces him to flee from enemies he never knew existed and are desperately seeking him.
Hunted by twin warlocks and a ruthless king, Kalend discovers shocking truths: he has a sister with powerful magic, his parents were nobility who were murdered, and his destiny is tied to forces that could reshape entire worlds. With each narrow escape, he gains unexpected allies—a shape-shifting woman, a mysterious sorcerer, a horse with secrets of its own, and a cryptic underground society that may hold the key to unlock his family’s mysteries.
But as Kalend’s party races to confront the warlocks in their island stronghold, they discover the conspiracy runs deeper than murder and politics. An ancient power is stirring, portals are opening between worlds, and mythical creatures now prowl the land. Meanwhile, the answers Kalend seeks may cost him everything…
Our world and their world. Myths and legends. Darkness spreads over all.
Thus begins an epic fantasy adventure to save not just the people of his world but others from a faraway land. A land not so different from our own…

About the book
"CLOSER, MORTAL. YOU ARE HERE, FINALLY, TO FEED THE ACHING GOD..."

But just as old nightmares begin plaguing his sleep, he receives an urgent summons back to that old life. To save his only daughter, he must return to the place of his greatest trauma: the haunted Barrowlands. Along with a group of inexperienced companions and an old soldier, he must confront the dangers of the ancient and wicked Djao civilization. He has survived fell beasts, insidious traps, and deadly hazards before. But how can he contend with the malice of a bloodthirsty living god?

Our take
Peace has held for centuries, but ancient evil is stirring again, and two unlikely heroes are about to get dragged straight into the kind of destiny that ruins any chance of a normal life.

About the book
The shadow of an ancient evil stirs.
Creatures of legend walk once more.
And two unlikely heroes must rise—or their world will fall.
For three hundred years, the Five Realms have known peace. Until now.
Elodi never sought power. Yet after her father’s sudden death, she is forced to lead her people—burdened by doubt, her authority questioned, and tested when a horror from the past storms Calerdorn’s gates. But what she faces is only the beginning. Far greater dangers gather beyond her borders.
Toryn, a farmhand haunted by a legacy that could claim his life, is driven from his home and thrust onto a perilous path he never wanted. When a long-buried power reveals the truth of his bloodline, he must decide whether to outrun his fate… or embrace it.
As old stories awaken and long-dormant forces move once more, their separate journeys reveal a deeper threat rising across the land—one their leader refuses to confront. Mountains divide them. Leagues stretch long and perilous. And the cost of failure will be everything they hold dear.
Song of Echoes is the first book in a five-part epic fantasy series, Legacy of the Stones. With sweeping world-building, dark prophecies and ancient magic, this is a timeless tale of courage and sacrifice that will stay with you long after the final page. Perfect for readers who long for immersive, fantasy journeys.

Our take
A prophecy offers hope, but the fate of a blighted world rests in the hands of two brothers bound by hatred, power, and impossible moral choices.

About the book
A powerful, layered weaving of myth, prose and pure imagination – Curse of the Mistwraith opens an epic fantasy series perfect for fans of The Dark Tower and Earthsea.
Let each who reads determine the good and the evil for himself
Athera is besieged by the Mistwraith, which blights the land and dims the mysteries guarded by the last fugitives of the old bloodlines.
But from a prophecy springs hope: the gifts of two brothers – one dark, one fair, raised on opposite sides of a relentless war – when paired may challenge the Mistwraith’s invasion, though at brutal cost…
Arithon, Master of Shadow, musician and mage, commands the power of illusion and darkness. Taken prisoner in battle, his fate falls to his half-brother, Prince Lysaer – a man endowed with the gift of light through the mother they share. Lysaer is the legitimate son of a king who was betrayed by his queen’s choice to father Arithon by his mortal enemy but that does not save him:
Vengeful fury drives the king to banish both Lysaer and Arithon from the world they know to the troubled realms of Athera beyond the Worldsend Gate.
The two exiles are thrown together by hatred and spilled blood – then bound by destiny to champion Athera’s sundered heritage. The highest stakes ride the backlash of their conflict – they must reforge their adverse ideals into balance, or destroy the etheric grace of a culture all but lost to antiquity.
A subtle and intricate tale of morality and difference, justice versus compassion, told with epic scope and real magic, Curse of the Mistwraith remains a modern classic of the fantasy genre.

About the book
A haunted thief-girl. A vengeful sorcerer. If she fails, she dies.
Karan, a sensitive whose family is cursed by madness, is compelled by honour to steal an ancient magical device and take it to the Magister. But it’s the treacherous Mirror of Aachan, and hidden within it is a deadly secret.
Llian, a brilliant but naïve Tale-spinner, uncovers a 3,000-year-old mystery too dangerous to be revealed and is expelled from his college.
Thrown together by fate as they struggle to get to safety, Karan and Llian are ensnared in the machinations of immortals, the vengeance of feuding warlords and the magic of all-powerful wizards. Magic that could break Karan’s fragile mind, and corrupt Llian as he pries into the riddles of the mirror.
And if they fail the two-faced mirror will spark a millennial war, terrible as a tsunami, that will deluge the land in forbidden magic, tear nations apart, and threaten the very survival of humanity.

Kihrin grew up as a thief in the slums, not a prince waiting for destiny to come knocking.
The Ruin of Kings
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure
Our take
Kihrin grew up as a thief in the slums, not a prince waiting for destiny to come knocking. But when he is claimed as the lost son of a treasonous royal line, he is thrown into a world of power plays, dangerous secrets, and truths far uglier than the stories ever promised. The Ruin of Kings delivers dragons, demons, gods, and prophecy with a sharp twist: this is not the tale of a hero meant to save the world. It is the story of the one who might destroy it.

"Everything epic fantasy should be: rich, cruel, gorgeous, brilliant, enthralling and deeply, deeply satisfying. I loved it."—Lev Grossman, author of The Magicians
When destiny calls, there's no fighting back.
Kihrin grew up in the slums of Quur, a thief and a minstrel's son raised on tales of long-lost princes and magnificent quests. When he is claimed against his will as the missing son of a treasonous prince, Kihrin finds himself at the mercy of his new family's ruthless power plays and political ambitions.
Practically a prisoner, Kihrin discovers that being a long-lost prince is nothing like what the storybooks promised. The storybooks have lied about a lot of other things, too: dragons, demons, gods, prophecies, and how the hero always wins.
Then again, maybe he isn't the hero after all. For Kihrin is not destined to save the world.
He's destined to destroy it.
Jenn Lyons begins the Chorus of Dragons series with The Ruin of Kings, an epic fantasy novel about a man who discovers his fate is tied to the future of an empire.
"It's impossible not to be impressed with the ambition of it all . . . a larger-than-life adventure story about thieves, wizards, assassins and kings to dwell in for a good long while."—The New York Times

A brutal murder in a quiet village exposes something the empire thought was long buried: sorcery is back.
Quill
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
A brutal murder in a quiet village exposes something the empire thought was long buried: sorcery is back. In Quill, Duke Oliver Wellesley is dragged into an investigation that spirals far beyond a single crime, while Samantha, an apprentice trained for a battle no one believes is coming, faces a dark power the world has tried to forget. With occult secrets, human sacrifice, and an empire rotting from within, this fantasy opener leans dark, dangerous, and impossible to ignore.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The fate of empire is to crumble from within.
A heinous murder in a small village reveals a terrible truth. Sorcery, once thought dead in Enhover, is not. Evidence of an occult ritual and human sacrifice proves that dark power has been called upon again. Twisting threads of clues lead across the known world to the end of a vast empire, and then, the trail returns home.
Duke Oliver Wellesley, son of the king, cartographer, and adventurer, has better things to do than investigate a murder in a sleepy fishing hamlet. For Crown and Company, though, he goes where he’s told. As the investigation leads to deeper and darker places, he’ll be forced to confront the horrific spectres rising from the shadows of his past. When faced with the truth, will he sacrifice what is necessary to survive?
Samantha serves a Church that claims to no longer need her skills. She’s apprenticed to a priest-assassin that no one knows. Driven by a mad prophecy, her mentor has prepared her for a battle with ultimate darkness, except, sorcery is dead. When all is at stake, can she call upon an arcane craft the rest of the world has forgotten?
AC Cobble, the author of the fan-favorite Benjamin Ashwood series, crafts worlds of stunning-depth and breath-taking adventure. In Quill: The Cartographer Book 1, a pair of unlikely investigators walk a deadly path into the past, uncovering secrets best left alone. For fans of Benjamin Ashwood, be warned this series is both darker and sexier than Ben's tale.
The fate of empire is to crumble from within. Do not ask when, ask who.

About the book
“A splendid fantasy work, full of RJ’s trademark invention." —Adrian Tchaikovsky, Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author
Our lands are wild with gods. Our woods are wild with monsters...
Cahan is known as a Forester—a man capable of navigating the dangerous forests of Crua like no one else. But once he was more. Once he was a warrior.
Udinny serves the goddess of the lost, a keeper of the small and helpless. When Udinny needs to venture into the Wyrdwood to find a missing child, she asks Cahan to be her guide.
But in a land where land is won and lost for uncaring gods, where the forest is full of monsters, Cahan will need to choose between his past life and the one leads now—and his choice will have consequences for his entire world.
Praise for Gods of the Wyrdwood:
"A sweeping story of destiny and redemption. Weighty, deliberate, tender and brutal, this is a big, wonderful book and an utterly involving read." —Daily Mail
"A triple-threat of world-building, character and plot." —SFX Magazine
