The Gilded King
The Gilded King Josie Jaffrey
In the Blue, the world’s last city, all is not well.
Julia is stuck within its walls. She serves the nobility from a distance until she meets Lucas, who believes in fairytales that her world can’t accommodate. The Blue is her prison, not her castle, and she’d escape into the trees if she didn’t know that contamination and death awaited humanity outside.
But not everyone in the Blue is human, and not everyone can be contained.
Beyond the city’s boundaries, in the wild forests of the Red, Cameron has precious little humanity left to lose. As he searches for a lost queen, he finds an enemy rising that he thought long dead. An enemy that the humans have forgotten how to fight.
One way or another, the walls of the Blue are going to come down.

Love the cover! Cover is totally what made me click to read the blurb.
I tend to hesitate when blurbs have a female & male povs especially in teen fiction because of my reading preferences - but the premise is strong enough to make me want to read it. Search for a lost queen... intriguing! I've gone and picked up a copy.
The Sword and the Ring--Preview
The Sword and the Ring--Preview Wayne Meyers
Aimie, a naïve but feisty dreamer struggling to escape the toil of her parents’ tavern, convinces Connell, an honorable Greymark Knight, to escort her on a long journey. Danger confronts them at every turn, from brutal thieves, a ghostly wight, and vicious, blood-thirsty assassins, to irrefutable proof that Mythikal creatures and old magik are real. These are only minor problems compared to what’s brewing back at Greymark, where an army of stone-skinned trolls have enslaved Connell’s people in preparation for a full-scale invasion. Their end game? Human domination—or utter destruction.
Mythikal Magik is a sprawling, epic tale full of everything fantasy lovers enjoy most: magik and mayhem, swords and sorcery, heroes and villains, exotic creatures, and a touch of romance.

In her quest to save the survivors of her village, she learns the truth of her past, and must come to terms with it and make the choice of who she wants to be.

Interesting plot!
This one is a very entertaining prequel, and if the rest of the series is done in the same way, I know I will enjoy it immensely.

I love this cover and premise. As a big zombie fan, this one looks good!
A Prncess of Bars
A Prncess of Bars Jim LeMay
What if Captain John Carter, for the sake of self-aggrandizement, lied to Mr. Edgar Rice Burroughs about his trips to Barsoom? What if Dejah, instead of descending from a lineage of “ten thousand jeddaks” (emperors) as Carter claimed, had begun life as an orphaned street urchin? And what if she preferred a giant, four-armed green man to him? Maybe the Martians looked upon Jack Carter with less favor than he claimed, some indeed with open contempt. Read Dejah’s assessment of Captain Carter in this action-packed short story, “A Princess of Bars.”

The Calling DH Bookstore
To be different…
My entire life I’ve always been different from everyone else, and in Lytonia, being different is treated as a crime. In my case, I was granted a pass. I was given a second chance to prove that I could fall in line, but with my lack of power, that would be impossible.
In only a few months, I must present my abilities to the council and prove to them that I am worthy of walking the halls of Monroe Academy, but Artemis, my tormentor and superior officer, will stop at nothing to keep me from excelling. Being powerless and not proving myself means that I could be made a slave, and Artemis would become my master.

Harper hoped the invitation to the Solar School of Sorcery would be their salvation. They're determined to graduate as a hero - a Sunweaver, a protector of the mundane world above when the shadowy Phantoms rise from the center of the Earth each night. Being non-binary in a school where magic is segregated by sex, however, means that not everyone wants them to succeed. The sweat, the tears, the anxious nights full of dread and dreams...it's all come down to the final exam. If Harper can slay a Prime Phantom before dawn, they'll prove everyone wrong. If they fail, they'll lose even their memories. (A 4,700 word short story.)
The first few pages suck you in and then you can’t stop reading.
Captivating from the beginning. Always leaves you wondering what happens next. Until the very last paragraph, where the surprise twist...

Hansel & Gretel in the Enchanted Forest Jim LeMay

As well as some about children who get in trouble in the woods by ignoring their parents’ warnings, as when Little Red Riding Hood strayed from the forest path. But some children with more initiative must have ventured into the forest on purpose and many old ladies lived by doing chores for neighboring peasants. In “Hansel & Gretel in the Enchanted Forest” we find out what may have really happened in that forest.

Sky Keeper Preview S.M. Gaither
For centuries, the Caspian empire has remained safe and hidden below the ocean, protected from the surface world—and from that ocean that separates them—by a great barrier maintained by magic.
Aven Talavir has spent her entire life learning to be a keeper of that barrier, channeling her powers into maintaining and healing it.
But now an impossibly sinister force seeks to shatter it.
To stop the flood of destruction, Aven sets off on a quest to find an ancient power that may be able to permanently heal the makeshift sky. Reaching it will mean fighting her way through dangerous politics and deadly magic, all while finding love and friendship in unexpected places—
Only to realize that the greatest treachery may not lie in the breaking sky,
but in the very hearts of the people around her.

Innocence Lost
Innocence Lost Patty Jansen
She wanted to run her father's business. She got a mad prince.
Johanna Brouwer has notions: she wants to take over her father's business. She wants to live in a place where she doesn't have to hide her magic, and she doesn't want to marry, not even the prince.
Her home, the merchant city of Saardam comes under attack by a fire wizard, and she finds that notions will only get you so far in life. She's on the run, her paltry magic will do nothing against the evil unleashed upon the kingdom, and why did she ever worry about getting married?
This is totally your thing if you're into sassy independent women.

Great cover and an intriguing premise.
I'm delighted to include Patty Jansen's Ambassador 1: Seeing Red among my "select few." Deftly and swiftly, her beginning shifts into high, machine-gunning intriquing clues vis a vis later reveals. One knows just enough about what's going on to continue reading without scratching one's head, but not enough to make the whole book a fait accompli. Quick immersion in tight, realistic action promises a great read.
No matter what Patty Jansen writes, there is always that underlying personality that makes her books interesting AND there are her sometimes wildly imaginative worlds that forgo the bounds of what we all know and expect. They give us something entertaining and surprising. And she is Australian. If that comment doesn't make sense then you will have to just read her stories to see what I mean. It is meant in a good way.
Incredible work by an author I truly admire!
Very intriguing! This is promising to be very interesting series... Keep it coming, Patty!

Prince Of Darkness
Prince Of Darkness Stacey Trombley
He is beautiful. He is tortured. He is human.
And he must die.
Emilia poses as an enslaved nurse in the evil emperor's palace in order to assassinate the man dubbed as the "Prince Of Darkness". Her job is to heal the sorcerer prince's mysterious injuries without asking too many questions, and find the right opportunity to complete her mission. What Emilia finds is that The Prince Of Darkness is rather quite sweet and simply longing for human comfort. The more she learns about the secrets within the palace walls, the more she realizes that the prince she was so determined to kill, is more of a prisoner than she'll ever be.

I really enjoyed the blurb. This sounds like an entertaining and fun read. The cover caught my eye and made me want to know more. Nice job!
The author has hooked me on this story with the complex, fascinating world he has created for his characters. I can't wait to read the rest of the book!

First Law of the Valkyrie: Don't Fall in Love
I paid the price for breaking the first law of the Valkyrie. I lost all the memories I had of Will. That's why Sam is keeping tabs on me. She's an ever-present shadow during my time at Mattsfield High. Sam is the perfect Valkyrie. Tall. Beautiful. Heartless.
I may not remember Will, but my heart does. If Freya thinks I’m going to be a good little Valkyrie this time around… she’s wrong.

Lucifer’s Fall is a beautifully written short story that asks power questions and makes me want to pick up the first book of her series to find out what happened next.
love the cover!
You had me with the cover and the title, even before I read the description. I feel like I'm a 'misguided knight' in the wrong time period so I look forward to reading this series.
Love the cover for this one! It instantly caught my attention. Gonna need to download this one for myself! :D
Original and exciting! Love this take on Lucifer.
Code of Rainbow: Soaring Flame and the Dragon...
Code of Rainbow: Soaring Flame and the Dragon-transcending Magimal Weiqi Wang
This is the first book of a teen fantasy book series that nurtures the bloom of MAGIC in the soil of SCIENCE - something rarely attempted. The transition from magic to science will be bit by bit, so the early books do read like a "mainstream" magic fantasy.
Soarame has a pair of special eyes. He can see magic elements in this world, which are supposed to be invisible. This enviable gift of his could reveal the truth of the world, but it also puts him in danger.
Many animals in this world possess magic power, so they are called “magimals” - dragons as examples. Soarame fortunately got a baby magimal as his best friend, but they got into troubles together - troubles that were a lot bigger than dragons.
Could they survive?

Sounds awesome!
This book sells itself with two simple words. MAGIC ANIMALS

Night of Poison S.G. Dunster

White Heart
White Heart DH Bookstore
She was a Light Elf Warrior, and I, a Dark Elf Princess, but we weren’t so different, were we?
From two opposing kingdoms, our people have been fighting for thousands of years. First, with the will of the gods, but after the bloodshed and loss, they fought for revenge.
I was taught that the Light Elves were heartless killers, but it was hard to believe that someone with such a benevolent spirit could be as heartless as they say.
That’s probably why I ended up falling in love.
I should’ve known better though. I should’ve known the consequences of falling for her kind.
The night I thought that we were finally going to be together, I found myself alone at the bottom the ocean with more power than any elf could bare.
I had the power to destroy kings…and maybe even end a war.

The Last Mile, a bonus story from The Dark Road Gail Z. Martin
Cam of Cairnrach has one job--to reach the king of Isencroft with a desperately needed elixir before dark magic claims the monarch's life. He's traveled across two kingdoms on his urgent quest, but he finds that the last mile of the journey is the hardest. Set in the world of the Chronicles of the Necromancer series.
She writes stories that you can't put down. A wonderful imagination coupled with a love of history.
You can't go wrong with a story set in the Chronicles of the Necromancer world! I love her characters and you get sucked in from the first chapter!
Gail Z Martin never disappoints. Her books are fast-paced, roiling adventures that leave you wanting more.
I recently had the pleasure of reading Gail Z. Martin's The Summoner, the first installment of the Chronicles of the Necromancer. I enjoyed it so much that I immediately grabbed Scourge, the first book in her Darkhurst series, off the shelf at my local bookstore. Now I have TWO new series to finish reading!
If you enjoy fantasy, give this a chance. Prepare to be entertained for hours by a gripping plot, compelling characters, and a unique world.
A great story for fans of epic fantasy.
