Featured Fantasy: The Goblin General by Jonathan Brazee

Featured Fantasy: The Goblin General by Jonathan Brazee

New Release
Click for current price: Amazon US, United Kingdom Canada, Australia

Qod is a goblin—a rather small, unassuming goblin who would much rather be eating rat cracks and reading books at home. And that’s what he was doing when he was conscripted into the Army of the Mist to fight the invading Light forces.

Cannon fodder doesn’t need to be trained, so he’s immediately thrust into battle to sacrifice his life for the Dark. Except that fate has other ideas, and he somehow not only survives the battle but becomes a most unlikely hero.

Goblins are the lowest of the low, and not everyone welcomes his new status. He becomes a pawn for powerful factions. Surviving one battle was hard enough. But how can one young goblin avoid getting killed by not only the Light but by his own Dark leaders?

But sometimes empires can rise and fall on the backs of the least expected. Join Qod as he tries to answer the call.

From retired Marine, USA Today bestseller, and multiple Nebula and Dragon Award finalist Jonathan Brazee comes a military fantasy that’s just a little different than all the others.

How could a good photo-op go so wrong?

Now his life is a tangle of cults, mysterious white-suited visitors, and scheming shadows. Surviving the next few days will take teamwork, guile, and an awful lot of coffee.

A Traitor in the Shadows is the first in a new Urban Fantasy series by Joseph R. Lallo, author of the international bestselling Book of Deacon and Free-Wrench series.

Featured Fantasy: Turning the Wright Way (World Wrights Book 3) by Maria Grace

New Release
Click for current price: Amazon US, United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, Australia

Though Rebecca’s a Master of Fire, Water, Earth, and Air, that isn’t much help when it comes to managing her own life.

The Wright Guild’s recent decision to admit women was exactly what Master Full Wright Rebecca Fuller had hoped for. Perhaps now she could get back to teaching her students, running her shop, avoiding the Guild’s interference in her life, and planning her wedding to David.

But the Queen steps in and everything falls apart. Faced with impossible demands, the Guild must do what it hates most—cooperate and change—and everyone must play their part. Tucked away with her students and an unexpected mentor, will her unconventional skills be enough to craft what the Queen requires?

Guild Secretary, Master Full Wright David Enright would much rather be helping Rebecca than navigating the procedural and legal morass surrounding the Guild. But that seems the only way to put an end to the bickering and satisfy the Queen’s orders. Once again, it’s not his skill as a Wright, but his unique expertise as a barrister, that the Guild requires—good for the Guild, difficult on one’s ego.

But when the Guild Conclave doesn’t like what he has to say, disgruntled Wrights turn desperate, willing to do the unthinkable to maintain their centuries-old ways of life. With everything and everyone he holds dear endangered, will he be enough to turn the Wrights a new way?

An exciting new gaslamp fantasy adventure from the author of Jane Austen’s Dragons, perfect for fans of Gail Carriger, Charlie Holmberg, AJ Lancaster and V. E. Schwab.

“Drips with atmosphere and intrigue . . .” this fantasy coming of age novel “is a study in suffering and cruelty but also in determination.” (Publishers Weekly)
 
Judah is an orphaned girl with a secret gift, born at the gates of Highfall castle. Raised alongside Gavin, heir to Lord Elban’s empire, the two share an extrasensory bond—one that is key to Judah’s survival and her possible undoing.
 
Elban—as mighty as he is cruel—plans to use Judah as a pawn to amass greater control. He will stop at nothing to get what he wants.
 
But beyond the castle walls, a magus, a healer with his own powerful force, has arrived from the provinces. He, too, has designs on the realm, and at the heart of his plans lies Judah . . . The girl who started life with no name and no history will soon discover her own strength. Intriguingly, she does not have to be given power: she can just take it.
