*Limited time special at $ 2.99*

Dragons, Elves, and Magic. What more could you want from a fantasy trilogy?

Maia returns home from a stay of absence to complete her final test to become an Elemental, only to find her world in chaos. Suddenly faced with responsibilities she thinks she is not ready for, a love she does not reciprocate, and a threat to her people that might kill them all, she may be forced to become what she was born to be – a Prime.

An army more terrible than the nation of Grildor has ever had to face has invaded the lands and is killing the Elves by the thousands. Lord Longshadow invokes the Rule of Kings and gathers the forces of Greater Grildor to their aid.

Maia, aided by her dragon Midnight and the mysterious Death Elemental, seek help of their own. All the while, Maia and Blaid must come to terms with their opposing powers and the disaster it could spell for their entire world.

The race is on to save the planet of Elveron from the invading forces. Will they be in time to stop their total annihilation?

“I fell in love with this world and its characters and became utterly invested in their trials and tribulations. Toni Cox has a wonderfully rich imagination and brings Elveron and the Elves, and Midnight the dragon, to glorious life. Utterly entrancing.”

The Chronicle Gate vol. 1 by N. Lang

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

What if you ended up on a planet. . .and had no idea how you got there? On a planet called Ethereal live creatures known as the Elouse. A couple of kids discover a human child and take him in. While their dad, Jasper, tries to find the planet “Earth” (which doesn’t exist in their galaxy) their mom, Ellen, and her girls, Taylinn, and Avigale are left to welcome and care for, Sinya, who has no recollection how he got there in the first place. Sinya tries to fit in his surroundings and make friends but some are too afraid, including Taylinn and Avigale. Taylinn finds out her dad is going away in a secret spaceship, but she overhears that the mission is really “to save his family from him?” Could he mean Sinya? Sinya starts seeing Mer-Dragons, a made-up tale told to him by Avigale and Taylinn but this Mer-Dragon talks to a being known as “Malic,” one that means danger for Jasper and the family. But no one will believe him. When Taylinn finally sees the truth of the danger for herself, she tries to alert her friends, but just like Sinya, no one will believe her, including her mother. Now in order for Sinya to get back home, these unlikely pair must team up to save Jasper, and his family from the coming danger of Mer-Dragons!

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I first had the idea when a friend of mine bought me “Inkheart” by Cornelia Funk then after that series I began reading other middle grade fantasy books like “Fablehaven” by Brandon Mull “The Chronicle of Narnia” by C.S. Lewis and became hooked. Other fantasy books inspired me too like “Magic Kingdom of Landover” series by Terry Brooks, “Gatemage” by Orson Scott Card and “Books of Umber” by P.W. Catanese. I started working on this trilogy in 2006 after I wrote my urban fantasy novel “The Lost Angels.”

Featured Book: Awakening (Crystals of Syre, book 1) by Lindsey Cowherd

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

It was said that, at the beginning of time, the Stars created for the Eight Kingdoms of Syre each a secret weapon; a Stone of Power, with majiks beyond the imagining. But that was only a myth. By the Second Age of Syre, the majiks, inlaid in Eight Stones of Power, had gone dormant. Life went on without their influence, and the memories of a word dependent on majik slowly faded…

Now in its Third Age, the current kingdoms of Syre have nearly forgotten what powers they were bestowed; however, enemies from beyond the borders threaten the peace of the people. Fighting has been long and exhausting. There is no clear end in sight. But there are those who remember the ancient majiks given to the kingdoms; those who, in fact, had close ties with this unimaginable power. They remember their potential.

Yet, seeking out the Stones of Power seems a measure for the desperate–or it could bring about the salvation Syre is in need of to push the attackers from the kingdoms once and for all. Only time will tell.

The powers of the stones seem to be awakening…a time of majik is upon the Eight Kingdoms of Syre once again…

About Featured Book: Wild Hare by Laura Koerber

Listed by Kirkus Review as one of the best books of 2019. “A wrenching, complex novel that any fantasy fan would do well to pick up.”
“When you fight a violent and mean enemy, it’s difficult not to become violent and mean yourself,” an old friend advised Bobby Fallon.
Bobby is a trickster—half human, half nature spirit of the wild hare clan. He is also the guardian of a remnant of old growth forest near a small town in northern Wisconsin. He lives a marginal existence as a card shark, shoplifter, and small time criminal while participating in the secret culture of the forest spirits. His small town life is thrown into danger when his efforts to get his friend Arne out of jail spiral out of control. Set in the near future against a background of climate change, Wild Hare is a dystopian/magical realism novel with undertones of political commentary.

A Darker Shade of Sorcery by William Collins

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

For fans of Harry Potter, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the Dresden Files.

Evan Umbra is the newest Venator to enter Veneseron, the school for demon hunters, only demons are the ones hunting him.

A Venator is a wizard, a spy and a demon hunter rolled into one. They’re taught how to wield their sorcery and enchanted weaponry by orcs, elfpires and aliens alike. Their missions range from battling monsters and saving countless lives in the multiple worlds, to wrangling killer unicorns and calming down drunken yetis. Being a Venator is perilous and every new mission could be their last.

Whilst learning how to manipulate the elements, summon magical creatures and shoot Spellzookas, Evan encounters a dangerous rival and meets a girl who makes him feel nauseous; but in a good way. He makes the first friends he’s ever had in the carefree Jed and the reckless Brooke. Whilst Jed gets on the wrong side of a rival Venator, Brooke finds herself falling for the enigmatic demon hunter who brought her to Veneseron, not knowing he isn’t quite human. But it soon becomes apparent that Evan is more than just a Venator. Everyone wants to kill or capture him, from demons to Dark-Venators and even people he’s supposed to be able to trust.

Evan reckons he probably won’t survive his first year at Veneseron.

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

In a strangely-shaped world far away, lived a little girl in one of the many towns of the Kingdom of Melanion. She’s like any other growing child – loves cookies, plays every chance she gets, and curious about a lot of things. But there’s one distinct difference which sets Frieda apart. Unknown to her, the magic of an entire world considers her as a friend.

And that has never happened before.

(Half of the net proceeds of the ebook and paperback versions of the book will be donated to an Asian foundation caring for poor children with cancer.)

I started writing in 2017 and started with epic fantasy. It was a hobby driven by a desire to share stories in the genres I grew up with. Then sometime in the middle of 2018, I decided to try writing a fantasy tale for children. Just in time for Christmas. There will be other books narrating Frieda's adventures. Once I find the time to write them.

Featured Book: The Accidental Archmage: Book One – Ragnarok Rising (The Accidental Archmage Series 1) by Edmund A.M. Batara

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

Updated 2019 Edition. Rearranged and modified to follow the audiobook version.

An epic fantasy on another world in the classic tradition. Magic, adventure, mayhem, monsters, and twisted schemes.

What if you fell through a crack in reality? Like those people disappearing in plain sight you have read about.

What if you find yourself in a strangely familiar world? A world full of Earth’s mythological beings, lost civilizations, and people from its primitive and brutal past? Where magical energy still exists. Where gods play games among themselves, with the fate of mortal men as pawns. A land where a sword is deadlier than a five-inch thick contract drawn by a hotshot lawyer. Would you survive?

That’s Tyler West. Alone, lost and bewildered, the three moons in the sky made it clear he wasn’t on Earth anymore. It is not a game. It’s real. And there’s no coffee, pizza, fries, or his favorite show on HBO.

About Featured Book: A Vampyre’s Daughter by Jeff Schanz

A troubled Army vet wishes he were dead…
A lonely vampyre wishes she were human…
And a ruthless drug lord wishes he were immortal…

After a failed suicidal mission to destroy an opium kingpin’s yacht, Army vet, Brandt Dekker, is shipwrecked on a desolate island. He is initially happy to be alive — until his haunting memories return.
A stunning, yet awkward, girl named Lia has been caring for him, along with her mysterious and frightening father. They seem merely eccentric at first, until an astonishing truth surfaces: Lia has fangs. Real serpent-like fangs. She confesses to be a vampyre and yet promises no harm to Brandt.

Panicking, Brandt tries to escape the island, but the only possibility is an ancient derelict boat that has no motor or sails. There is nowhere on the small island to hide. He must come to grips with his new neighbors, and find a way to become allies if they are all to survive. Because, there are real monsters hunting Brandt. Monsters with guns and explosives rather than fangs or claws. Assassins who will find this island and kill anyone in their path to get to Brandt.

With help from Lia to repair the boat, Brandt pledges to set sail and lure the assassins away. But the repair takes days. And as each day passes, Brandt finds himself more and more enchanted by the sweet and gentle woman who claims to be a benevolent vampyre. He doesn’t believe he deserves love and happiness, but could they possibly lie in this enchanting girl’s embrace? [Read more…] about Featured Book: A Vampyre’s Daughter by Jeff Schanz

I've always loved fairy tales, myths and legends. Growing up, Philip Pullman's series, His Dark Materials had such a lasting impact on me, but it wasn't until many, many years later that I sat down to write an entire book. Like His Dark Materials, my Daughter of the Phoenix series is also portal fantasy, but based on Earth and the parallel world of Ohinyan.
