Trouble follows Eli Monpress because he invites it with a grin and a plan no one sane would attempt.
The Legend of Eli Monpress
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Trouble follows Eli Monpress because he invites it with a grin and a plan no one sane would attempt. In The Legend of Eli Monpress, a charming thief and wizard sets out to raise the bounty on his own head by stealing increasingly impossible targets, including a king. This is a fast-moving fantasy with sharp banter, inventive magic, and a delightfully reckless streak.

About the book
Eli Monpress is talented. He's charming. And he's a thief.
But not just any thief. He's the greatest thief of the age - and he's also a wizard. And with the help of his partners - a swordsman with the most powerful magic sword in the world but no magical ability of his own, and a demonseed who can step through shadows and punch through walls - he's going to put his plan into effect.
The first step is to increase the size of the bounty on his head, so he'll need to steal some big things. But he'll start small for now. He'll just steal something that no one will miss - at least for a while.
Like a king.

About the book
A princess’s forced marriage to a dangerously seductive prince becomes a life-and-death alliance in an exhilarating adventure by Sariah Wilson, the USA Today bestselling author of A Tribute of Fire.
Lia is always prepared for battle, but being blackmailed into marriage by Prince Alexandros is a challenge too far. She has no choice. He’s holding her sister hostage to force her hand. But with this union built on betrayal and rage comes a contract. By the goddess’s law, the marriage must not be consummated. A relief to Lia. She’d rather commit regicide than fall into bed with a man she loathes.
There is one other saving grace. Marriage gives Lia access to the palace and a chance to uncover the truth about the treasured eye of the goddess—and the magic it holds. But something inexplicable and impossible to ignore soon binds Lia and the prince. By night they walk in each other’s dreams, and by day they share each other’s pain.
As longing and trust grow between Lia and Alexandros and inhibited desires are set free, outside forces rise against them, posing an ever-present danger. Not only to the throne but to their very lives.

And a killer who will bring an empire to its knees.

Banished from her people for an unforgivable crime, SIRSHA is a down-on-her-luck tracker who uses magic to trace her marks. Destitute, she agrees to hunt down a killer who has murdered children across the Martial Empire. All she has to do is carry out the job and get paid. But when a chance encounter leads to an unexpected attraction, Sirsha learns her mission might cost her far more than she’s willing to give up.
QUIL is the crown prince of the Empire and nephew of a venerated empress, but he’s loath to take the throne when his aunt steps down. As the son of a reviled emperor, he, better than anyone, understands that power corrupts. When a vicious new enemy threatens the survival of the Empire, Quil must ask himself if he can rise above his tragic lineage and be the heir his people need.

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.

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

AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
AN INSTANT USA TODAY AND INDIE BESTSELLER
Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only professional wizard, has always managed to save the day—but, in this powerful entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling Dresden Files, can he save himself?
One year. 365 days. Twelve months.
Harry Dresden has been through a lot, and so has his city. After Harry and his allies narrowly managed to save Chicago from being razed to the ground, everything is different—and it’s not just the current lack of electricity.
In the battle, Harry lost people he cared about. And that's the kind of loss that takes a toll. Harry being Harry, he’s doing his level best to help the city and his friends recover and rebuild. But it’s a heavy load, and he needs time.
But time is one thing Harry doesn’t have. Ghouls are prowling Chicago and taking out innocent civilians. Harry’s brother is dying, and Harry doesn’t know how to help him. And last but certainly not least, the Winter Queen of the Fae has allied with the White Court of vampires—and Harry’s been betrothed to the seductive, deadly vampire Lara Raith to seal the deal.
It's been a tough year. More than ever, the city needs Harry Dresden the wizard—but after loss and grief, is there enough left of Harry Dresden the man to rise to the challenge?

Our take
An empire racing toward progress begins to sense the approach of its own extinction.

Tasked with seeking forbidden answers, ambassador Renata Rainer must navigate war, politics, and ancient forces in this epic fantasy shaped by looming catastrophe and moral reckoning.
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...

The Crafter’s Son
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure
Our take
When a kingdom trembles between two warring gods, even small talents can carry unexpected weight. Sixteen-year-old Breeden Andehar leaves his village for a monastery education among nobles, only to find his quiet gift for sensing the strengths of metal and wood may hold deeper power. This coming-of-age epic fantasy follows unlikely allies drawn into political upheaval and an ancient rising threat.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Two warring gods. Unusual magic. Can a group of unlikely allies keep the kingdom from falling into dark ruin?
Breeden Andehar doesn’t shy away from hard work. The beloved only child of a village boatwright, the introspective sixteen-year-old finds it difficult to explain his growing instinct for the flaws and strengths of metal and wood. And he’s stunned when his father arranges for him to be educated at a monastery alongside nobles…
Struggling to feel at home among high-born sons, a bold merchant’s daughter, and a rough-around-the-edges orphan, Breeden's world is rocked by the sudden death of the king. And when he and his classmates get caught up in shocking turmoil and scatter on different paths, the doubtful teen learns he might be the key to defeating a gathering evil.
Will he tap into a hidden heritage to defeat an ancient enemy?
The Crafter's Son is the engaging first book in The Crafter Chronicles epic fantasy series. If you like complex and relatable characters, rich story arcs, and imaginative world-building, then you’ll love Matthew B. Berg’s coming-of-age tale.
“I read a lot of this type of book and really enjoyed the world the author created. Very believable. As mentioned in another review, this book is mostly a beginning to a longer saga. But a very enjoyable beginning. It was well written and well edited. . . . Looking forward to the next book in the series. I would recommend this.”
"I’ve read [The Crafter's Son] and it’s terrific! [Berg] writes beautifully and, if you love epic fantasy like he obviously does, you will love the story line. Eddings meets Tolkien with some Tad Williams influences as well."
"Classic Fantasy . . . Reminded me of fantasy books that I read when I first started out . . . Will buy the 2nd one"
