Stolen Luck
Stolen Luck TJ Muir
Haki loves the old stories of gods, magic and conquest, imagining his own heroic deeds. He knows his family laugh at his strange notions, but that only strengthens his resolve. He knows the truth, that the gods are stirring.
His love for his brother Zaran is only slightly less than his devotion to the gods. Zaran is the heir and is adored by all - even though he is no scholar, and has no deep belief in gods.
So he prays to the gods for help in discovering his own destiny. His prayers verge on obsession as he becomes more and more convinced that the gods have a special plan for him. Will finding his destiny restore the peace in their family, or will his growing fanaticism cause a rift that can't be fixed?

The Best Laid Plans
The Best Laid Plans K.T. Davies
Theft, treachery, and the unquiet dead...
Did you hear the one about the thief and the sorcerer who went to rob a senator? No, of course you didn't, it's a dull tale hardly worth recounting. Ah. But what happened after, now that's a story.
After being most unfairly swived and abandoned in the wilds, Breed Blake stumbles upon a barbarian who is also having a very bad day. It turns out when the great oaf isn't being attacked by bandits, he's on a mission to save a damsel in distress being held somewhere in the doom-haunted Scathblight Mountains.
A bargain is struck, gold is promised, and trouble ensues.
Dark, grim and wickedly funny, The Best Laid Plans is an anarchic, baroque and roll introduction to the award shortlisted 'The Chronicles of Breed'
