The Hope for Dragonhold
The Hope for Dragonhold M. M. Wedin
After twenty summers of peace in the small land of Ordea, a land divided by mages in the south, and warriors in the north, the silence is broken. The King of the south finally plans to bring the north under his rule.
With invasion from the south imminent, the King of Dragonhold sends a highly trusted commander to forge an alliance with the elves in Myalis. Uncertainty and terror fill the residents of the north. Royals, hunters, watchers, and soldiers brace themselves for the end of one of the two Kingdoms.
A young princess faces an impossible decision, an enchanter is forced to act against his own beliefs, and a hunter is thrown into a precarious journey through the now war filled landscape.
One king will fall, and one will take the throne.

A Walk in the Wild
A Walk in the Wild Peter Thomson
So you’re a magician. Now what? Chrysanthemum can choose from lots of safe, secure magical careers, all providing a steady income and an eventual pension. None appeals to her, so when a friend invites her to go for a walk in the Wild, of course she accepts. It’s not safe, it’s not secure, and there is no pension. You could get rich, or you could die. In fact, you are very likely to die. But it’s better than a regular job, right? Then, if you live, the big question is: when do you quit?
Now followed by The Servant's Story (available on Amazon). In which a lawyer enters the Wild, with unexpected results ...

Is There A Dragon In You?
I never should have let Steph drag me to that Psychic Fair. Metaphysical nonsense doesn’t suit me, Seattle doesn't suit me, and I think I might be allergic to patchouli. I’m definitely allergic to car accidents, to giant elk falling from the sky, and most importantly, to the huge, blue dragon that’s attached its obnoxious tail to my navel.
Just try having a smart-ass dragon nattering in your brain twenty-four-seven. Better yet, don’t try it. I recommend skipping the entire, batshit crazy, ordeal. Avoid black cats. Don’t get that Reiki treatment, and definitely don’t wake up alone, surrounded by other dragons who know way more than you do about what the hell is going on.

Fire & Ice
Fire & Ice Patty Jansen
Where magic is dark and gritty, characters troubled and twisted, and victory comes at a heavy price.
Deep under the City of Glass in the frozen southern land, an age-old machine called the Heart of the City radiates a power which locals call icefire. Most citizens are immune to it, but a few, always born with physical disabilities, can bend it to their will. For fifty years, the ruling Eagle Knights, who fly on the back of giant birds, have killed these Imperfects, fearing the return of the old royal family, who used icefire to cut out people's hearts, turning them into ghostly servitors.
The old king's grandson Tandor only sees the good things icefire brought: power and technology now forgotten while the people of the south live in dire poverty. He's had enough of seeing his fellow kin

Silence of the Gods:The Ferryman's Disciples Caleb N. Kelly
His life has been stolen by the gods of Egypt. The only way to get it back is to do their bidding. He must find the Greek gods hiding on Earth, eliminate them, and harvest their energy. His true name, now just another memory ripped from his mind, has been locked away by the sun God, Ra. He is called Segree - silence.
For fourteen months he has served Ra and his pantheon of gods, and in that time, seven Greek gods have fallen to his divine axes. Now it is Charon, the Ferryman of the Dead who blocks the path to fulfilling Ra's demands. With the divine powers of ancient Egypt at his disposal, Segree must hunt down the Ferryman and take his life or lose his own.
However Charon has remained hidden, alive and well, among the humans for two thousand years. He plans to stay that way.

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?

Alice's Adventures in Underland: The Queen of Stilled Hearts DeAnna Knippling
“Curiouser and curiouser!” cried Alice; “I’ve become one of the undead!”
A horrible plague has spread across Britain, infecting some of its citizens with zombieism. The British, however, have not given themselves over to upset, but have discovered a method for controlling the plague: a serum that halts the infection in the living, and restores self-control (most of the time) to the undead.
On one golden afternoon, gentleman zombie Charles Dodgson tells Alice Liddell and her two sisters a story, the tale of how dear little Alice (who is rather a troublemaker) comes to the mythical homeland of the zombies, Underland, and her adventures there.
Will she escape?
Or will Mr. Dodgson, as the story progresses, consume them all?

New voices bring new ideas and new worlds to you in these six short stories of Science Fiction/Fantasy.
That's what they are good at. Figuring out things that are completely different from the same old repeating plots and characters. Finding new "what if's" that have never been asked before.
Whether you like dystopian stories of what happens after the world ends, or the sudden appearance of fairy tale creatures in our current worlds, you'll find a lot to keep you fascinated by these new authors.
As well, you may find a bit of fine satire and hidden social commentary, something both genres have always been good at.

The Doll Maker's Daughter at Christmas
Elvish
Elvish S.G. Prince
A human outcast. An elven warrior. They're sworn enemies…until everything changes.
--
When Venick is caught wandering the elflands, he knows the penalty is death. Desperate, he lies about his identity in hopes the elves will spare his life.
Ellina doesn't trust the human, and not merely because he speaks the language of men. Men lie. In elvish, however, lying is impossible. In a moment of intuition, Ellina decides to give Venick a chance: learn elvish, reveal his truths, and she will set him free.
That is not, of course, what happens.
As Ellina and Venick come to know each other, their feelings start to shift. Then Venick uncovers a dark secret, and suddenly the fate of the elflands seems to rest in his hands. But will Venick risk his life to save an elf he's not allowed to love?
