Jeremiah Cain Free Dark Fantasy Quick Read

Hello all. To kick off October, I’d like to tell everyone here about The Sorrow Passage: A Dark Epic Fantasy Novelette.

In this gripping dark fantasy novelette for adults, the peaceful life of a young elf, Valqyer, is shattered when brutal invaders storm his town. As he fights to protect what little he has left, including his sanity, he soon discovers that he is their ultimate target.
"...heart-rending and filled with magic, lore, excitement and danger. Cain has penned an outstanding story that keeps you in suspense until the very end." (Queer Sci Fi)


You don’t have to do anything special to get it. It’s free on most eBook sites, but for Amazon, it is only free in the US, UK, and Australia. (I’m not sure why Amazon Canada isn’t on there, but it's on B&N and Nook everywhere.)

P. Pherson Howdy all,

Just a reminder, my book, The Eye of Ebon is currently available for free to Kindle users on amazon.

Amazon link: https://a.co/d/1Vk11wj

The Eye of Ebon is a story about faith and trust in a rough world. It is a fantasy adventure that features two women navigating in a harsh land and with many enemies trying to stop them. Both women face difficult ordeals and wrestle with issues of trust, duty, honor, anger and of course...faith.

For those familiar with the many books posted on this group, I think this book is most similar to the Deed of Paksenarion. If you are a fan of that story, I think you will enjoy this one as well.


The Blurb is below:

A young Samiare lies dying in the snow, in her hand, a sword of legend, and now the whole world is changed. For Ruegette, hero of Tierinor, the girl marks the earliest stages of a new war against the Shadow, and a new struggle to keep safe what has been hidden for more than an age--The Eye of Ebon.

Pulled into a conflict greater than nations and Gods, both Ruegette, and the girl she rescues, try to survive in a land full of threats against brutal foes that will show them no mercy. Can Samiare find the strength to overcome her torments, and can the White Sword be enough to push back the dark? --Or will a sinister creature reclaim its prize...

The Shadow is rising...

...It seeks back its eye...

...It won't be stopped.


If you don't have a kindle, but would still like a free copy, please send me a PM.

Otherwise, it will be available for today only.

Thanks
P. Pherson

David Thomas Hey everyone,

My eBook is currently available to download for free via Amazon for the next week (https://www.amazon.com/Luna-David-Tho...).

Told in ‘real time’ over the span of four harrowing days, and by a first-person narrator, “Luna” is the story of the first human to be born outside of Earth. The story picks up just before his eighteenth birthday, and how that milestone is going to be celebrated due to his historic status.

However, an unprecedented disaster strikes, cutting off his home (a lunar colony) from Earth. Soon, that home becomes a ‘sinking ship’ - with time quickly running out, he (and those around him) realize that no one is coming to help them and that they must take matters into their own hands in order to survive...

The book has been accessible to readers of all ages and is 'grounded'/near-future science fiction/disaster that is ultimately about family, courage and the human spirit. Think 'Gravity', 'The Martian', 'Interstellar', or even 'Titanic' (but in space!)...

Thank you.

Paul Bartonek Eden By Sword by Paul Bartonek New US Countdown Deal: Over 85% off Eden By Sword!

Hi everyone,

In 1492, Christopher Columbus discovered* an amazing new world. Isn’t it time you did the same?

And the good news is you won’t even have to petition Queen Isabella (or your local bank) for funds! Because, for the next few days, Eden By Sword (Kindle Edition) will be reduced by a whopping 86%. But be quick, this amazing Amazon US Countdown sale ends on October 14 and is only available to my American friends via https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CR3WJSJQ

Even a legend has to start somewhere.

Get ready for a rollicking adventure as Sci-Fi collides with Arthurian legend as a group of colonists fight for supremacy in the captivating new novel Eden By Sword.

But be careful what you dream of…

Dunia is on the brink of collapse. With crops failing and livestock starving, the colony’s demise seems imminent without the long-awaited supply ships from Earth. But when a lonely teenage boy runs away from camp and stumbles across a mysterious sphere, everything changes.

Two years later, at a celebration of their newfound prosperity, the same boy suddenly spies something strange in the sphere. Nervously, he reaches out his hand and pulls out a medieval-looking sword. As a mist forms all around him, partygoers euphorically start chanting his name, anointing him as their king, while others flee in terror. The colony divides, families split, friends become enemies, and the battle for humanity begins.

Don’t miss out. Get your copy here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CR3WJSJQ

Nellie Petersen So, I just wrote a sci-fi/fantasy novel and published in on KDP. It is already up for pre-sales and will be available to read for free on Kindle Unlimited on 11/1/24.

The story is about a young man named Alex who wakes up one morning to discover he has a System. The odd thing about his System is that it requires him to activate Systems for other people. And some of the Systems are based on parts of the personality of his friends and family that he has no clue about...

Sunny Kapoor Howdy Friends -

After terrible misfortune and unavoidable events happened in my life, where my life was made public and my work was sabotaged, against all odds in the last year I have persisted in working on my ‘The Jungle Heroes series’ and have published about 17 books in the series including a 200 page wildlife encyclopedia of alphabet A, filled with adventurous 3D illustrations of animals, reptiles and birds.

I implore you to come and check out the printed versions of my books on my website- https://www.thejungleheroes.com/ and/or buy them directly through the printer store at https://store.pothi.com/search/?q=Sun....

If you are outside India, I suggest buying more than one book in the series, to compensate for the shipping cost.

There are 11 books published in the main timeline series of the heroes. There are 5 new books in the multiverse series of the Jungle Heroes. I am already working on the 12th book in the main storyline of the Guardian of Nature series. Another 30 books are in the pipeline. They are all in saddle-stitched print format. I took down the ebooks from the site for now.

My Goodreads profile has all the images and book descriptions you will need.

Books are not available on Amazon yet as I will have to redesign the books with completely new file size settings, as Amazon does not support 9-inch x 6-inch in print sizes. That will take a lot of time to redesign and publish on Amazon, especially when not available in the landscape format, which is a required theme of my books.

To read about the Jungle Heroes journey till now, you can read my blog here -

https://www.goodreads.com/author_blog...--

You can also join the Jungle Heroes WhatsApp Community. The link is on my Goodreads profile and the website footer.

I am attempting to create an entire children’s book series, similar to a comic series, that kids all around the world will revere and love. It is a daunting task to undertake on my own.

With all the unfortunate events that have happened in my life, any help through the sales of books or reviews will motivate to proceed further with utmost confidence. My focus is on the future and not on the past. I am still seeking a better future and to help kids and animals in any manner through the sale of my books.

Thank You for your time.

Phil Walters Hi all!

I have a giveaway listed for my latest Fantsay-horror Novella, Goat & Wain: Autumn Queen.

~
GOAT was a vicious bloodsucking vampire, but not anymore. Cured of his own curse, he seeks to eradicate evil wherever he finds it.

WAIN was a pious and Godly knight, but not anymore. Exiled by his church and stripped of his titles; he has lost his faith, but not his calling to protect the innocent.

Goat & Wain arrived just in time for the local harvest festival, expecting a few days well earned rest; but first, why not enjoy the celebrations... and the ritual burning of the AUTUMN QUEEN.

Giveaway is here:

Also have paperback & kindle unlimited versions of this and the first book in the Goat & Wain series, 'Second Fallow' available on amazon:

Bart Stark Lieutenant Jim Fraser was in turns eager and terrified. His Bravo Company led the American offensive to liberate Charleston, but would his wife Florrie and their twin girls trapped behind German lines survive the coming battle?

Consider another Second World War. Due to a twist of history during his youth, Adolph Hitler turns west and out to sea against England and America in alliance with fascist Japan and Italy. After the British Empire falls, the Axis turn on an outnumbered and unprepared United States. Instead of being waged in far off lands, total war rages across the Hawaiian Islands and South Carolina, down our streets and into the homes of our families.

Wolves at the Gate by Bart Stark

Wolves at the Gate is the first of a series of alternative history novels telling the story of that war, styled as Robert Conroy’s 1942 meets Charles Frazier’s Cold Mountain, with the epic multiple perspectives of Ken Follett's Pillars of the Earth. The novel differs from most other WWII fiction in its focus on the overlooked ordinary people on both sides caught up in the horrific battles antiseptically portrayed in history books.

Sarah Connell The indie press Speculation Publications just put out a Kickstarter for my dark fantasy novella, Pay the Piper!

Here’s the blurb:

In the darkest of days haunted with witch hunts, missing children and plague—a stranger arrives, offering relief from the rats that infest every corner of the village of Hamelin. But this help comes at a price.

Across the river, on the edge of the dark forest, villagers still leave milk and bread offerings on the large stone altar, knowing it will be empty once more by morning.  A young woman follows her brother into the forest one night, starting a path into the mysteries of the old ways.

Hope grows like wildfire amongst the hidden covens and exiled dissenters. Magic flows upstream on the whiskers of rats.

This is a story of blood oaths, the magic written into everyone and outwitting the powerful to create a safe haven once and for all. There is a tune playing through the streets of Hamelin, but is it a savior’s song or a witch’s wrath?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCWVJX7Q

Cross the wrong men and meet their blades!

Unable to find his lost brother, and wracked by guilt, Grimlock toils as a scout in a frontier town while plotting where to search next. All the while, yearning for acceptance from the townsfolk who hate him because of his race. The peace he craves always eluding him.

Vigilanton relishes the respect and fear he garners throughout town. It is a stark contrast to his treatment in the knighthood. But serving at the local crime lord’s whims and tarnishing his honor gnaws at his soul. Is he the failure his father always claimed?

An ancient scepter’s discovery threatens to tip the balance of power, and the fiendish vragoths are hell-bent on seizing it. When Vigilanton’s knightly brother arrives to uncover the vragoth’s plot, it ignites the fuse on a deadly chain of events from which Grimlock and Vigilanton cannot escape. Now they must confront their haunted pasts and act. Neither sought to be allies, let alone heroes, but spilled blood unites them, propelling them on a bloody quest of vengeance.

Vengeance is power!

Vengeance is merciless!

Humanity has expanded beyond the solar system, now populating four planets. A fledgling galactic republic is just beginning to form. Earth's population has dropped by half and is slowly returning to its former glory.

For centuries, the Niruku Corporation has built humanity's future, sending genetically engineered colonists—"transmigrants"—on generation ships to prepare new worlds for settlement. But the truth is darker than anyone imagined: the colonists are enslaved, their lifespans cut short, their reproduction controlled, their fates erased from history once their work is done.

Kaylie Stewart, a Niruku geneticist, uncovers the corporation’s sinister plans and risks everything to escape with Estia, an orphan holding secrets that could shatter Niruku’s empire. Meanwhile, on the planet Tellarius, Ray Decker, a surviving colonist, struggles to expose the truth as his people face extinction.

Hunted and framed for crimes they didn’t commit, Kaylie and Ray’s paths collide in a desperate mission to reveal a conspiracy spanning five centuries. But in their fight for justice, they uncover an even greater threat—one that could alter the future of humanity itself.

The clock is ticking. The truth must be exposed. But at what cost?

Ralph met a talking deer from Brooklyn. And a possum. And a funny looking man with a stick that sparkled. And then he met a gorgeous succubus whose intentions were ambiguous at best.

And after that, well, that’s when the adventure of a lifetime began.

Spanning time and space, and infinite layers of reality, Ralph sought to understand what was happening to him and who was behind it all.

Ralph found himself changing into something else. Into someone else. He was growing into something more powerful than he could ever have imagined. And discovering secrets of the universe as he traveled on a journey into a vast unknown.

And there were only two things Ralph knew to be true beyond question. First, Ralph was deader than dead. Second, Ralph had to find a good back scratcher. Because the itching from whatever was growing out of his back was driving him crazy.

RM The Meijadin Revelations (Dawn of the Conquerors Book 1) by Rowan Macfie
The Meijadin Revelations

Hi all, I'm a debut fantasy novelist and author of The Meijadin Revelations, a story about two men from disparate backgrounds, whose lives become inextricably intertwined as they fight to save their kingdom through the machinations of an insane alchemist, a vicious bandit leader, and a depraved necromancer. If you like action, intrigue, humour, introspection, emotive conflicts and transcendent motifs, with realistic heroes and theatrical villains - this is the revelation you've been waiting for! 556 pages of pure love for the craft, available on Amazon via KU, Kindle and in paperback!


In secret study, Berthold Forst has embarked upon the path of magic. His purpose: to master the esoteric profession of darkitect, with ambitions of conquest belied by his humble farming background. Berthold’s venture into the wider world forces him to overcome poverty, break through isolation, and confront violence without remorse. When a turn of better fortune secures him an emergency mining contract, he is tasked with saving his imperial nation of Franqovar from financial ruin by prospecting for gold in a dangerous wasteland – the Valley of the Dreaming Vulture.

Berthold’s journey pairs him with Second Lieutenant Ottokar Von Falken, a down-to-earth, axe-wielding warrior and special forces soldier in the Franqovarian royal military. The night of their meeting is marked by a shared vision in a dream from a seraphic entity, whose symbolic augury heralds a fateful path that will take them beyond the limits of everything they know – and could have ever imagined. A single word and the revelation of its meaning that will define their lives forevermore: what is this mysterious unknown of the Meijadin?

Anita Osasona I’ve always been captivated by stories that blend alien intrigue with human resilience. That fascination led me to write my first sci-fi short story, The Unexpected Arrival.

The story follows Nira, a young woman battling an alien invasion and a totalitarian government while uncovering shocking truths about humanity’s greatest enemy. It’s a mix of alien invasion thrills, historical allegory, and themes of survival and liberation.

I recently released the trailer, and I’d love to hear your thoughts! Does this premise intrigue you? What are your favorite alien invasion stories, and what themes do you love seeing explored in sci-fi?

In the darkest of days haunted with witch hunts, missing children and plague—a stranger arrives, offering relief from the rats that infest every corner of the village of Hamelin. But this help comes at a price.

Across the river, on the edge of the dark forest, villagers still leave milk and bread offerings on the large stone altar, knowing it will be empty once more by morning.  A young woman follows her brother into the forest one night, starting a path into the mysteries of the old ways.

Hope grows like wildfire amongst the hidden covens and exiled dissenters. Magic flows upstream on the whiskers of rats.

This is a story of blood oaths, the magic written into everyone and outwitting the powerful to create a safe haven once and for all. There is a tune playing through the streets of Hamelin, but is it a savior’s song or a witch’s wrath?

Millicent Manfalo: The Grass Guardian, Humanity's Hope

Scene: A cozy living room. Alex is lounging on the couch, scrolling through his phone, while Mia folds laundry. A bag of chips sits open on the coffee table.
Alex: (sighs) "Liam posted another picture of his cat. Caption: 'Mittens finds enlightenment in a sunbeam.' Is it just me, or does Mittens live a more profound life than we do?"

Mia: (laughing) "You’re just mad because you posted your sourdough last week and got, what, three likes? Meanwhile, Mittens is trending."

Alex: (mock defensive) "Hey, that sourdough was a masterpiece! I slaved over it for 12 hours. Mittens just lays there, being fluffy."

Mia: "Yeah, but people love cats. You need to accept it and move on."

Alex: "Speaking of moving on, when are we going to convince Liam to read something other than motivational quotes? He needs a good book."

Mia: (nodding) "He really does. Oh! We should tell him about that one we just finished."

Alex: "Oh, you mean Manfallo? Absolutely. That book was insane—in the best way possible."

Mia: "Right? I still can’t get over how unique it was. The way it mixes everything—action, a bit of humor, and this deep connection to nature. It’s not something you can predict."

Alex: "Yeah, and it pulls you in from the first chapter. Like, I kept thinking, 'How is this even going to work?' But then you just can’t stop reading."

Mia: "Exactly. It’s got that perfect mix of adventure and meaning without being too heavy. Liam would totally be into it. He likes quirky, right?"

Alex: (nodding) "Oh, for sure. And it’s got this originality that makes it feel fresh. Like, it’s not your standard ‘hero’s journey’ stuff."

Mia: "Okay, let’s text him the link. I bet he’ll download it immediately if we sell it right."

Alex: (grinning, typing) "I’ve got this. ‘Hey Liam, stop scrolling and check this out: Manfallo. It’s wild, unexpected, and way better than another sunbeam pic.’"

Mia: (laughing) "Perfect. And if he doesn’t bite, we’ll just drop hints until he caves."

Alex: "Done. Can’t wait to hear what he thinks. Honestly, though, anyone who loves a good story needs to read this.

Brian Terence Hi,

I'm part of a writer's group, and I've only just joined. Each year, they produce an anthology.

This year's is based around the prompt 'The Ancient Ones'; it's a broad mix of paranormal, mystery and science fiction stories.

Each writer interprets the prompt in their own way, so it results in an eclectic compilation. I hope you enjoy reading it.

RM The Meijadin Revelations (Dawn of the Conquerors Book 1) by Rowan Macfie
The Meijadin Revelations

Hi all, I'm a debut fantasy novelist and author of The Meijadin Revelations, a story about two men from disparate backgrounds, whose lives become inextricably intertwined as they fight to save their kingdom through the machinations of an insane alchemist, a vicious bandit leader, and a depraved necromancer. If you like action, intrigue, humour, introspection, emotive conflicts and transcendent motifs, with realistic heroes and theatrical villains - this is the revelation you've been waiting for! 556 pages of pure love for the craft, available on Amazon via KU, Kindle and in paperback!


In secret study, Berthold Forst has embarked upon the path of magic. His purpose: to master the esoteric profession of darkitect, with ambitions of conquest belied by his humble farming background. Berthold’s venture into the wider world forces him to overcome poverty, break through isolation, and confront violence without remorse. When a turn of better fortune secures him an emergency mining contract, he is tasked with saving his imperial nation of Franqovar from financial ruin by prospecting for gold in a dangerous wasteland – the Valley of the Dreaming Vulture.

Berthold’s journey pairs him with Second Lieutenant Ottokar Von Falken, a down-to-earth, axe-wielding warrior and special forces soldier in the Franqovarian royal military. The night of their meeting is marked by a shared vision in a dream from a seraphic entity, whose symbolic augury heralds a fateful path that will take them beyond the limits of everything they know – and could have ever imagined. A single word and the revelation of its meaning that will define their lives forevermore: what is this mysterious unknown of the Meijadin?

T.K. Ballingham Hello everyone!! My name is T.K. Ballingham and I've just released my first book. The title is Boundary Lines. The idea behind the book came from my experiences in both childhood and adult trauma. I was diagnosed with PTSD and wanted to find a way to work through those experience.

My book tells the story of Devlin Gray.
Devlin Gray is a successful woman.
But she wasn't always. Once, before she owned a private investigation firm, she was just a scared 18-year-old woman with nowhere to go, and no one to turn to. That all changed when she landed in Lark, Wyoming and met Alexis Rhines and Riley Olson.
But she's just received a call she can't ignore, from someone she never thought she'd hear from again.
And no matter how much she wants to, she can't ignore his reasons for wanting her to return to a place she never thought she'd see again. Sometimes home is a place meant to be left behind.

Mohamed Suliman Counterclockwise: The Heart of the Universe

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DQP5Y7GS

Reality is About to Spin Backward

description

Your Universe Will Never Be the Same
The day everything changed, they noticed the birds first. Flocks spiraling counterclockwise against steel-gray skies. Then came the whales, circling in reverse. And in the depths of CERN's particle accelerator, scientists watched in horror as the very laws of quantum mechanics began to unravel.

This is where your journey begins.

A Scientific Thriller That Defies Reality

Deep in the pristine laboratories of CERN, Dr. Eve Malik has uncovered patterns in the quantum fabric that threaten everything we know about reality. Her discovery points to something massive, something ancient—something that was never meant to be found.

Half a world away, in the sweltering heat of Sudan, Dr. Adam Labib is witnessing the impossible. Human hearts are synchronizing with an unseen force, pulsing to a cosmic rhythm that defies explanation. His research suggests our hearts might be more than mere organs—they could be receivers of universal truth... or harbingers of chaos.

As these brilliant minds race to connect the dots, dark forces emerge from the shadows, seeking to harness these anomalies for their own devastating ends. The countdown to catastrophe has begun.
