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.

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.

A young dragon on the run, a forced human disguise, and an academy situation he absolutely did not ask for.
Dragon Sorcerer
Fantasy · LitRPG · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
A young dragon on the run, a forced human disguise, and an academy situation he absolutely did not ask for. Dragon Sorcerer: Claws Out kicks off with Nico losing his home, awakening his magic, and bonding with a young woman named Cami just as survival gets much more complicated. Between murderous adventurers, magical laws, and the small inconvenience of hiding the fact that he is, in fact, a dragon, this LitRPG adventure brings plenty of action, humor, and attitude.

Choose your retailer
About the book
From critically acclaimed author Richard Swan, Grave Empire begins the epic tale of an empire on the verge of industrial revolution, where sorcery and arcane practices are outlawed – and where an ancient prophecy threatens the coming end of days.
"A dazzling and immersive epic fantasy." ― Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Blood once turned the wheels of empire. Now it is money.
A new age of exploration and innovation has dawned, and the Empire of the Wolf stands to take its place as the foremost power in the known world. Glory and riches await.
But dark days are coming. A mysterious plague has broken out in the pagan kingdoms to the north, while in the south, the Empire’s proxy war in the lands of the wolfmen is weeks away from total collapse.
Worse still is the message brought to the Empress by two heretic monks, who claim to have lost contact with the spirits of the afterlife. The monks believe this is the start of an ancient prophecy heralding the end of days—the Great Silence.
It falls to Renata Rainer, a low-ranking ambassador to an enigmatic and vicious race of mermen, to seek answers from those who still practice the arcane arts. But with the road south beset by war and the Empire on the brink of supernatural catastrophe, soon there may not be a world left to save...

Vengeance becomes complicated when the enemy’s son is the one you save.
The Renegades
Fantasy · Teen + Young Adult · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Vengeance becomes complicated when the enemy’s son is the one you save. After rescuing a wounded prince from an ambush, Iiriniss must confront her hatred for the Bloodthorne dynasty that destroyed her family. As uneasy alliances form and danger tightens its grip, this YA action fantasy blends rebellion, loyalty, and shifting trust in a story driven by sisterhood and rising magic.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The king took everything from them, except their will to survive.
When Iiriniss saves a gravely wounded prince from a deadly ambush, she knows the risk. The prince is none other than Terven Bloodthorne—youngest son of the tyrant king who murdered her father, burned her home, and forced her and her sisters into hiding.
She’s vowed to destroy the Bloodthorne dynasty. Yet, she cannot let Terven die—not after the debt she owes him. And the more time she spends with the prince, the more she sees that he is nothing like his cruel father or brothers.
Iiriniss and her sisters may have found an unexpected ally, but saving Terven may have doomed them to greater danger than ever before.
Perfect for fans of characters-driven fantasy with high-stakes, this gripping tale of revenge and magic will leave you breathless.

Blade and Bone
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
In a city where fog swallows truth and violence buries the past, survival demands compromise. Kanar Reims, a disgraced soldier known as the Blackheart, wants no part of the magic that ruined him until a mercenary job forces his return. Joined by killers and outcasts, he faces a heist that could unleash deadly power in this gritty epic fantasy of secrets and consequence.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Sanaron is a city of fog and violence; a place where even the past can disappear.
Kanar Reims, an ex-soldier known as the Blackheart, hides a dangerous secret. Exiled from the Realmsguard, he wants nothing to do with the kind of magic that destroyed his life.
That is until his team of mercenaries is offered a job they can’t refuse.
He’ll need the help of others working in the city: An assassin who uses the bones of her enemies in her art. An archer with strange skills. And a stranded sailor whose loyalties are unknown.
Impossible wealth awaits if they succeed, but far more is at stake if they fail, for a deadly magic will be unleashed upon the world.
