Now at a bargain book promo price of $0.99.

As an opportunist, Istrae yearns to get off her home island and visit Kerth, the City of Light and Abundance. Her preferred method of travel, however, didn’t include drowning. And she didn’t expect the city to be so dirty. Her memories are as broken as her body. She begins to piece them together with the help of a spirit bound to a statue and an ambitious army captain called Rime she enjoys teasing.

While Rime guides Istrae in her new life, it becomes evident the rigid rules of society and the city’s Temple do not welcome those who seek to shake the established rules, which is something Istrae is incapable of resisting.

Island Girl is the first book in a fresh fantasy series Strands of Existence with tones of adventure and a splash of romance. A whole new world with its own laws, intuitive magic, and religion mixed with court intrigue, secrets, realistic motivations/characters.

At what cost victory?

Milo Volkohne, orphan, criminal, conscript, and unwilling warlock could tell you but you might not like the answer.

It is 1936 and the Great War still rages on, with no armistice in 1918 when the Russian Empire crumbled in the fire and blood of stillborn revolution.

The hellish no man’s land has spread like a blight over Europe as grim, unyielding leaders promise a resolve of iron and no mercy, no peace, no hope.

It would take a miracle to save humanity, but as Milo would tell you: be careful what you wish for.

Plunging into a world of sorcery, treachery, and madness the world’s first wizard will bargain with monsters, human or otherwise, fight for his life, and dare to hope that he’s selling his soul for something worthwhile.

But is any price too high to end the War to end all Wars?

Get your copy and enter the darkened world where so far, no one has won World War I and now dark monsters are choosing sides.

The Adventures of Finnegan Dragonbender and The Lone Valkyrie 7 Book Boxed Set by Charley Case

99 cents through the month of February!

A broken ship. A missing friend. A whole new world of magical artifacts for the taking. A cosmic vacation for our intrepid treasure hunter Finnegan Dragonbender and his Faerie Dragon Penny. They team up with Mila Winters and meld as a team to save Earth.

This GIANT boxed set contains the first four books of The Adventures of Finnegan Dragonbender and then continues the story with the complete 3 book Lone Valkyrie Series.

The Adventures of Finnegan Dragonbender

After years of searching Finn has finally found the motherload. Unfortunately, there’s no way to get it home. And he’s got to meet John Wayne.

Stranded and alone in Denver, Colorado, Finn and his partner Penny (a foot and a half long Faerie Dragon) search for friends and allies in this strange new land.

But something about this place isn’t right. Magic has gone underground, and has anyone seen John Wayne?

Lucky for Finn he’s a Dwarf, and underground is where he does his best work.

Join Finn, Penny and their new friends on an adventure that spans the globe and holds the fate of an entire planet in its twists and turns.

And just maybe a tall Dwarf and a small dragon can find their place in the universe.

This boxed set includes:

Return of the Dwarf King
Hunt of the Dwarf King
Anthem of the Dwarf King
Triumph of the Dwarf King

The Lone Valkyrie

Every time a shot rings out a Valkyrie earns her wings. Mila is earning hers the hard way hunting down the monsters that have taken her sister.

It was supposed to be a simple scouting mission.

But the trail is leading her to an unexpected discovery. What if the things that go bump in the night start to slither out into the light?

An ancient horror, full of malice and nightmares, is coming to the Idaho Wilderness.

She should probably run, but Valkyries don’t back down from a fight, no matter the risk.

Besides, there are lives at stake, and it’s a Valkyries job to choose the dead. The Dwarf King would be proud.

Included in this boxed set:

Shield Maiden
Choose the Slain
Wings of the Valkyrie

Forgotten Gods by ST Branton

FREE January 4-8, 2021

The gods are real…and they want their world back.

Thousands of years ago, ancient deities fought a civil war that nearly destroyed the earth. They were defeated by a great warrior—and banished to spend eternity beyond the reach of the humans who once served them.

Their war is raging once again.

And once again, it will require a great hero to save humanity.

Unfortunately for humanity, I’m that hero.

My name is Vic Stratton. I’m no saint, but I’m the best chance we’ve got at surviving the chaos about to be unleashed. But hey, at least I have my good looks, a quick tongue, and the sword of the gods on my side.

And I’m going to need it. Because when the gods return, all hell will break loose.

****

Forgotten Gods is a fast paced adventure series with a novel take on the Urban Fantasy genre. Vampires, werewolves, and all manner of monstrous creatures serve the unknown powers of old, but the story centers on the humans who make the heroic choice to fight them.

You won’t forget, Forgotten Gods.

The sorcerer Svaerd destroyed the Aurae Council in his quest to take the power of Taernfeld for himself. He almost succeeded in his designs, but was defeated by the council’s lone survivor. Trapped within a haeld-sword, he plots his escape.
For four-hundred years, magic has been outlawed by Tor-Haval. Sandrik is the first bright-eye to be seen in Caladon in living memory, and he doesn’t want anyone to think of him as they did the ominous Aurae of legend, so he keeps his special abilities hidden. But there is more to Sandrik than even he knows. Now he is about to enter the ancient ruins of Taernfeld to be declared a man, but another fate awaits him. Will he escape it?

Targeted Age Group:: 12+

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
This book was 40 years in the making (almost sounds ominous, maybe even impressive, doesn't it?) – The basic idea first came to me in images that became the four pivotal scenes in the book. From there I had to piece the story together.
When I first started writing it, a character I had become fond of was riding toward his death, and I couldn't figure any way to stop it (he wouldn't listen to me), so I stopped writing for 35 years. I finally picked it up again after I'd restarted writing in my Midlife Renaissance(TM)

Escape the Deep by ST Branton

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

Escape the Deep by ST Branton

I was innocent, and they called me a monster.

Maybe a monster is exactly what the earth needs.

My name is Sara Slick, and I was an average teenager. I worked hard. Followed the rules. Took care of my family. But normal dissolved the night that the hidden world of The Far showed up to accuse my dad of heinous crimes against the magical community.

To protect the ones I loved, I took the blame and the sentence of ten lifetimes in The Deep.

No human had ever been sent to this paranormal prison.

They didn’t think I’d last the night.

They couldn’t have been more wrong.

I survived by becoming the kind of human the magical world feared. Now, a decade later, I need to escape from hell before the home I sacrificed everything for meets its end at the hands of a maniacal, master wizard and his army of fanatics.

What’s one army against the heinous Sara Slick?

Escape the Deep is a fast-paced urban fantasy that pits the power of the innocent against the influence of the cruel. Filled with magic, monsters, and one badass human, The Heinous Crimes of Sara Slick will satisfy your need for action, adventure, and the delightfully absurd.

The Unbelievable Mr. Brownstone Omnibus 4 (books 19-22) by Michael Anderle

Save that MONEY and buy the Boxed Set of The Unbelievable Mr. Brownstone books 19 – 22 (The BBQ years)
(including Road Trip: BBQ and a Brawl, BBQ Delivered with Attitude, BBQ With a Side of No Apologies, BBQ and STFU)

Road Trip: BBQ and a Brawl:
Barbecue is life. Everything else is just details…AGAIN!

Things are going a little too well for Brownstone as he sticks around the house, and Shay is getting agitated.

Can a bounty hunter be happy when he has nothing to do?

James goes on a road trip expecting to just eat some barbecue. Unfortunately, trouble is waiting when he arrives.

The bounty hunter likes to keep things simple, but those who are working to beat up the Oriceran BBQ pitmaster’s new place didn’t account for him arriving.

Will those attacking give up? Is stupid contagious?

Instead of a simple BBQ road trip, now he is embroiled in helping a fellow BBQ lover he followed on TV as he helps bring the BROWNSTONE BEAT DOWN.

BBQ Delivered with Attitude:
Can’t a man just enjoy a bit of BBQ without getting into a fight?

Apparently not.

One day, James comes home and finds his pregnant wife with drawn gun, a ready knife, and an unknown assailant in their living room.

The problem is, the person in the living room is hoping the Granite Ghost will help her retrieve some valuable cargo that has gotten…lost.

Now, James has to decide if he will allow an annoying female to persuade him to go on another road trip.

Even if the road trip takes him to Texas, a state known for its brisket.

Will those who want the artifacts find out he is involved?

Fortunately, there are a lot of BBQ places between Los Angeles and Texas. It just so happens Brownstone gets a chance to stop at a few.

BBQ With a Side of No Apologies:
It’s hard to live a quiet life when you’ve left a trail of beatdowns and men in walls, but sometimes that’s the only way to achieve peace.

James isn’t happy when the head of a Mafia family comes into his restaurant and demands his help. The reputation of James Brownstone is supposed to keep peace in the L.A. underworld, but a few new arrivals didn’t get the memo.

Sometimes you don’t preserve the peace by preparing for war. You go straight to war.

All James’ local trouble might be annoying, but there’s a shining light in the distance: a respected filmmaker wants to film a barbecue documentary with James at the center.

A documentary BBQ road trip up the West Coast is just what James needs to relax, but the filmmaker seems more interested in capturing him beating down magical criminals than his thoughts on brisket.

At the same time, dark forces from beyond Earth are on the move, and they don’t care about barbecue.

James thought he had settled certain problems at the Battle of L.A., but sometimes a personal demonstration is necessary for someone to learn their lesson.
