About the book
"Fine adventure" in the complete New York Times–bestselling fantasy trilogy from the legendary million-selling author and creator of Drizzt Do'Urden (Terry Brooks).
This "worthy, entertaining addition to fantasy literature" tells the epic saga of a righteous warrior/avenger who battles an evil wizard, dragons, and cyclopean armies to liberate an imperiled kingdom (Starlog).
The Sword of Bedwyr: Luthien Bedwyr vows to rescue the beleaguered land of Eriador from the evil reign of Wizard-King Greensparrow. But first Luthien must secure two weapons from a dragon's lair: a legendary sword and a blood-red cape that renders its wearer invisible. Aided by a halfling thief, an ancient mage, and a beautiful elf slave, Luthien prepares for insurgence as the Crimson Shadow.
Luthien's Gamble: With the rallying support of enslaved humans, defiant peasants, and Fairborn elves, Luthien has forged a path for the freedom of his kingdom as the avenging Crimson Shadow. But when his tyrannical adversary makes a bid for peace by calling back his army of cyclops, Luthien suspects the evil wizard is setting a trap.
The Dragon King: Luthien Bedwyr's alter ego wields a magical sword and wears a scarlet cape that renders him invisible. But his greatest enemy, the evil Wizard-King, has a counterpart of his own: an unstoppable, bloodthirsty colossus of a dragon. Now the ultimate battle for a kingdom will reach its spellbinding endgame in the rousing finale to a trilogy "filled with memorable characters and compelling action" (Terry Brooks).

About the book
In this epic historical fantasy saga debut by the author of the Lord of the Isles, four young people must face dangerous magic to save the world.
"Drake . . . vividly recreates the attitudes of patrician Romans in this fantasy tale. . . . Fans of fantasy and historical fiction will enjoy." —Publishers Weekly
In this novel of magical menace to the survival of all humanity, David Drake introduces a new fantasy world, Carce, based on Europe during the later Roman Empire.
Far in the north, a group of magicians perform a strange dance on a volcanic island. They intend to open a gateway for supernatural creatures that will allow them to devastate the planet and destroy all life. Not knowing the cause, two young men, Corylus and Varus, and two women, Hedia and Alphena, each separately pursue the answer to mysterious and threatening happenings that prefigure disaster in the great city of Carce, the center of civilization. Through magical voyages in other realities where fantastic creatures, and even gods, help or hinder them, each of them must succeed or not just the city but the world will end in fire.
The Legions of Fire is the first of a fantasy quartet set in the world of the city of Carce.
"Recommended for all action fantasy fans, not least because three of the four protagonists are on the verge of adulthood, which promises a bildungsroman atmosphere throughout the succeeding volumes." —Booklist

About the book
“A ruthless, epic, and darkly hilarious read.” —Sara Hashem, author of The Jasad Heir
A divinely blessed warrior bound to the last living goddess plots deicide to win her freedom in this propulsive epic fantasy for fans of Godkiller and Gideon the Ninth.
The Devoted Lands was once home to many gods. Now, after centuries of brutal wars, only Tempestra-Innara, the Enduring Flame, remains.
As a divine warrior, Lys is outwardly loyal to her goddess. If she dreams of deicide, that’s her business. When a routine heretical execution erupts into a near-fatal assassination attempt on Tempestra-Innara, Lys sees a glimmer of hope for her freedom.
Lys is chosen to hunt down the heretics and find an ancient reliquary with the power to kill a god. Annoyingly, she’s not alone. Paired with Nolan, a warrior from a rival cloister who is as pious as he is determined, Lys must feign devotion if she hopes to keep her own god-killing ambitions within reach.
But as they pursue the heretics linked to the assassination, Lys uncovers a world with more possibility—and peril—than she ever anticipated.

Our take
Breaking the rules of her hidden world costs a fairy more than her freedom. In Shot in the Dark, Sylvia’s curiosity draws her beyond Elysia’s boundaries and into the hands of human monster hunters who suspect her of dark crimes.

About the book
"If you're in the mood for a magical, forbidden love romance with a slow burn — this is the book for you!" - SHELBY NICOLE, bestselling author of the Grove Hollow series.
"An unputdownable, fast-paced magical thrill ride with heart-stopping suspense and high stakes. Shot in the Dark is one you won't want to miss." --REBECCA JOHNPEE, bestselling author of The Wicked.
Obey the curfew. Never fly past Elysia’s boundaries. Above all — never speak to humans.
For twenty-one summers, Sylvia has evaded the ironclad rules set by her village, driven by an insatiable curiosity to know the world beyond the confines of the willow her fellow fairies call home. Her ventures often lead her to the vacant human mansion beyond Elysia’s forest, where ghosts whisper and ancient treasures beckon in the darkness.
Her exploration is shattered by a bullet through her wing— courtesy of Jon and Cliff, seasoned monster hunters who suspect her involvement in gruesome disappearances. A harrowing captivity transforms into an unlikely alliance when Sylvia saves Jon’s life by sealing a magical pact with the enigmatic Ancients— fae powers who demand a cryptic price. Sylvia is left with no choice but to stay by Jon’s side while he and Cliff hunt for a ruthless werewolf, determined to free herself from the Ancients’ settlement.
As the dangerous hunt unfolds, Sylvia finds that not all legends about hunters are true. She realizes she and Jon may have more in common than she ever could have imagined— and icy hostility melts into forbidden attraction.
But it doesn’t matter how he begins to look at her— it can’t matter. If Jon discovers her secret, Sylvia knows her fate is sealed. With the full moon's ominous countdown away, Sylvia and the hunters race against time with the fate of countless lives—including Sylvia's—hanging in the balance.
After all, killing a monster is easy compared to falling in love with someone you shouldn’t.
Perfect for fans of SUPERNATURAL and R.J. Anderson’s KNIFE, SHOT IN THE DARK is an action-packed urban fantasy novel that explores the courage it takes to embrace our true identity entwined with haunting themes of forbidden love and found family.

"This is one wild, intricate ride: Grim, grotesque, vivid, thrilling." — Kirkus (starred review)
Industrial Revolution Beckons. Spiritual Catastrophe Looms. And the Empire of the Wolf teeters on the brink.
The true horror of the Great Silence has been revealed. As nation after nation succumbs to the mind-plague and Sova scrambles to enlist help from across the globe, Ambassador Renata Rainer has been given a simple task: save the world. While she travels to the Principality of Casimir to enlist the help of the Empire’s oldest enemy, Lieutenant Peter Kleist returns to the haunted forests of the New East to search for ancient answers—and finally confront the terrible fate that awaits him.
In their wake, a task force of engineers, soldiers, and arcane experts will try and unpick the final secrets of the Great Silence—on both sides of the mortal plane. But time is running out. Count Lamprecht von Oldenburg has returned to the capital, armed with a terrible vision and enough madness to see it through. Those who stand in his way face a simple choice: join the revolution, or die.
As the world tips towards chaos, all paths converge on the Eye of the Sea, where the fabric of reality wears thin—and where the Empire of the Wolf must confront the most terrible enemy it has ever known.

"This is Mad Max by way of Davy Jones, a high-energy, breathless adventure [about] a group of damaged girls who find home in one another." --Booklist
"The pace of the book is fast and relentless, and the action sequences tense and believable, but the best moments are the ones in which the female relationships shine." --NPR
"One of the most spell-binding adventures of the year. This is female piracy at its best." --The San Francisco Chronicle
"The best kind of fantasy. . . . impossible to put down." --Paste
After her family is killed by corrupt warlord Aric Athair and his bloodthirsty army of Bullets, Caledonia Styx is left to chart her own course on the dangerous and deadly seas. She captains her ship, the Mors Navis, with a crew of girls and women just like her, who have lost their families and homes because of Aric and his men. The crew has one mission: stay alive, and take down Aric's armed and armored fleet.
But when Caledonia's best friend and second-in-command barely survives an attack thanks to help from a Bullet looking to defect, Caledonia finds herself questioning whether to let him join their crew. Is this boy the key to taking down Aric Athair once and for all...or will he threaten everything the women of the Mors Navis have worked for?
The first in a heart-stopping trilogy that recalls the undeniable feminine power of Wonder Woman and the powder-keg action of Mad Max: Fury Road, Seafire reminds us of the importance of sisterhood and unity in the face of oppression and tyranny.

About the book
Gillengaria is seething with unrest, where magic is both feared and coveted, and a dangerous mission unfolds
In the south, hostility toward magic and its users has risen to a dangerous level, though King Baryn has ordered that such mystics are to be tolerated. It is whispered that he issued the decree because his new wife used her magic powers to ensnare him…
The King knows there are those in the noble Twelve Houses who could use this growing dissent to overthrow him. So he dispatches the mystic Senneth to assess the threat throughout the realm. Accompanying her is a motley band of magic-users and warriors including Tayse, first among the King’s Riders—who holds a hard view of mystics in general, and Senneth in particular.
But as the unlikely allies venture farther into the south, they will face death in a land under the sway of a fanatical cult that would purge Gillengaria of all magic users. And they will come to realize that their only hope of survival lies in standing together…

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 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.

: Izakiel was born to rule, but his scheming father tore the crown from his hands. Sentenced to serve his younger brother, the new heir to the kingdom, Izak will be captain of the royal guard until he dies. If he can survive the Thorns' brutal training.
: Aaram’s tribe was slaughtered by the Armies of Night. Shamefully taken alive, the sea-born warrior faces a lifetime of slavery protecting the very king he swore vengeance against. He must find a way to shatter the magical shackles before they snap shut on his soul.
: Twelve-year-old Brat traded the gallows for a sword. He’s the quickest study the Thorns have ever seen, but the young rogue is carrying a deadly secret that could lead to an even messier end than the noose he escaped.
To defy the crown is a death sentence, but they’re already as good as dead. They’ll sacrifice whatever they have left to take the King of Night down with them.

Choose your retailer
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.
