A Bard's Luck: Tales from the Forged Realms by T.S. Yates
Emrys of Fydria is a working-class bard and part-time scoundrel for hire to anyone with the right amount of coin. Framed for a murder he did not commit; hunted by the City of Chance's most powerful and nefarious crooks, guards and political figures and all this for an old, valuable book. Things are never simple, and a bard's luck such as his is - almost - always bad.
It's available on all Amazon platforms, give it a look and tell me what you think.

Alongside a new set of formidable allies and friends, Cid and Bjorn must face an ancient evil, the twisted magics of a Shaper gone rogue. One thing is certain, after this, everything will change.

Maldene II: Mysteries Of Olde
Maldene is a mixed genre fantasy, a world of magic and science, a world of ancient secrets, and home to the most villainous character of them all. Miro (pronounced My-Roh).
A series of 13 novels, the first two of which are out, the first 330,000 word tome is basically an introduction to the world of Maldene and its characters, as our heroes journey across the world of Maldene and into another, from meeting with a great King who is the only one willing to stand up to Miro and his forces, to sailing *through* the fabled Tedelnosho- aka, the Great Whirldpool, a whirlpool some 1500 miles across that has been going on for all of known history. Through it all, they are on the lookout for clues as to Miro and his goals, and how to stop him. And all because of a "chance" meeting with a blind gold-skinned gypsey fortune teller. For it was she that foretold there would be a third and from there events that would draw them deeper into the mysteries of the world.
Fighting a three-hundred foot dragon will be but the beginning of this quest, as they journey the globe in search of answers to the mystery of Miro’s villainy, and uncover the world’s long-buried secrets. For they are destined to lead a new battle against this most ancient of evils, to gather all beneath the banner of a mysterious King and face the unfaceable.
There is just one problem: Miro is *counting* on their success.
"Maldene II: Mysteries of Old" Epic Fantasy
The second novel in the Maldene series, it begins with the most important thing to come out of their adventures of the first book: a map. An indestructible map in an unknown language that starts them on a quest to seek out answers from the fabled Great Sage at the Foot of the World.
And yet, these answers are only the beginning, for it puts them on the road to the most incredible secret anywhere on or off Maldene. A terrifying awe-inspiring revelation that provides the first clue as to the real goal of the villainous Miro. For the time of the silence of the world is at an end.
Yet, during their incredible journey, other events are afoot, for Miro's minions are active, increasing his hordes and readying up for an inevitable war that the King is tasked with trying to counter. And yet, for all the long millennia that Miro has been around- he the cause of many a civilization's collapse and well able to have no doubt conquered the world many times over by now, why hasn't he? What's stopping him and what is he *really* after?
That map will lead our heroes to more answers than they knew they had questions for.

Pelagius, servant of Ender, god of valor, is haunted by his recent and brutal battles. He is tired, battle-weary, and ready to put down the mantle of hero. Seeking a reprieve from the nightmarish memories of his endeavors, he and his companion, Bojan, rest in a small hamlet. However, it seems as though the once-proud hero can never be free from danger.
During his stay, he and Bojan witness a terrible magical attack. The mysterious Green-Eyed Man uses dark magic that steals the very souls of its victims.
Realizing that the source of the Green-Eyed Man’s power is none other than the soul-devouring Babu, Pelagius knows there is only one thing he can do. He must infiltrate the fortress of Devil’s Den and kill Babu once and for all. But to reach him—let alone stand a chance at defeating him—they must fortify themselves with a company of heroes from all over the kingdom of Waskan and beyond.
Will Pelagius and Bojan be able to unite a band of diverse heroes to try and conquer evil? Or will a series of unforeseen obstacles along their way stop them before they can take a stand in the Devil’s Den?
Assault on Devil's Den: Champion of Valor


The story goes as such:
Ariella is a skilled operative of the mysterious Council who dispatches her on a mission to hunt down the killer of a Highlord in a seemingly simple raid.
In a sleepy village called Banrith, she is forced to face the demons of her past when it’s revealed that the mercenary band she fought alongside with during the Revolutionary War, the Iron Compatriots, appear to be behind the attack. But more sinister is the supernatural power she must face from one of the Compatriots most sadistic members, an animal hybrid named Kilgrimol.

In a savage world ruled by the sword, the mercenary leader Thorgil Bloodaxe stands apart, a man feared and respected across all the bloodstained lands from west to east. Well aware of his reputation, it is to Thorgil that the Caliph of Baghdad sends an emissary, his high commander, Rafi ibn Abdallah. The Caliph decides he must end the depredations of the rebel leader Ya’qub and his fanatic followers, the Vultures.
It is said of Thorgil that he has fought in so many battles during his lifetime he cannot remember them all, so what is one more? He does not hesitate to accept the commission and, with his warriors, embarks on a hazardous, bloody journey to the Khurasan Mountains, guided by Rafi…who has a secret plan of his own. Along the way, they draw the ire of the Cilician pirates, who hound them from the port city of Latakiyah in Syria to the foothills in Khurasan. They face treachery, battle, and sorcery even before they face the Vultures themselves in their massive mountain fortress.
The Vultures of Khurasan takes you on a glorious sword-and-sorcery adventure alongside Thorgil and his warriors, with page after page of neverending action, accompanied with illustrations by the renowned artist Pablo Marcos.

Faced with the truth of his own mortality he must make a choice. Break the ancient laws that govern his vigil, or watch from safety as the world he has watched over for so long, burns!

DESCRIPTION:
The curse condemned them. The war divided them. Only one could save them...
For centuries, Reivn and his line have led the Alliance war against the Principatus, hidden beneath the veil of night. The Principatus desires the annihilation of humanity, and the only thing stopping them is the Alliance. But the Alliance has fallen into chaos, and the Ancients are conspiring against each other.
Reivn questions the validity of their crusade when betrayal leads him to seek answers that will ultimately change fate for himself and all who follow his banners. Caught between their war and his own honor, he risks everything to bring change to a society that has grown so dark it is beginning to feed on its own.
A storm is brewing. The Dragon is coming, and he leads the most powerful bloodline on Tellas, also known as Earth.

I'm looking for reviewers for my latest novel, Celts and the Mad Goddess.
Book One in a fantasy series, it tells the story of a young Celtic woman called Rawena, who falls into the claws of the rat-goddess Pandemia. The goddess schemes to annihilate humans to preserve other animal species. She lets Rawena live but turns her into a pawn in a mad game. Rawena fights to defy Pandemia while running from her own tribespeople who suddenly see her as their enemy.
I would be happy to send you a free copy (Mobi, epub, or PDF) in exchange for an honest review.
I'm pasting the synopsis (minus the spoiler) below. Please let me know if you'd be interested in reading it.
Thank you so much! :)
Peter (P.C. Darkcliff)
Celts and the Mad Goddess, synopsis:
A young Celtic woman called RAWENA runs into an army of Germanic invaders. The soldiers pursue her, but she shakes them off and hides in a vast swamp. There she awakens the Goddess PANDEMIA, who has been sleeping for millennia. The meeting shocks Rawena, but Pandemia also wonders: she thought she wiped all humans out with pestilence.
Pandemia plots to destroy humanity to preserve other animal species. She wants Rawena to infect her tribe and spread the plague around the world. When Rawena begs her to spare her, Pandemia gives in… but she orders Rawena to bring another human to the swamp.
Rawena seeks GARUX, a tribesman she loves, hoping that he would catch a Germanic scout and bring him to Pandemia. That’s when she realizes that Garux loves her younger sister ARVASIA.
Mad with jealousy, Rawena kidnaps Arvasia and drags her toward the swamp. When Garux attacks her in the woods, Rawena stabs herself through the heart.
The Celts bury her, but Pandemia brings her back to life and makes her immortal. She turns Rawena into a pawn in a mad game: Rawena must unleash pestilence whenever somebody stabs her through the heart. If she doesn’t, Pandemia would turn her into an eternal rat and trap her in the swamp. The same fate would await Rawena if she let someone behead her or burn her to ashes.
Fearing that the Celts would burn her as an evil spirit, Rawena seduces ORTAVER, the Germans’ high commander, and asks him for protection.
The Germans overtake the Celtic town. They imprison Garux, who has recently become the chieftain, and enslave the tribe.
Four years later, just as the Celts start a revolt, Rawena dresses as a Germanic jailer to free Garux—and Arvasia sneaks into the prison and spears her heart. As a battle breaks out, Rawena crawls into safety. Pandemia mends her and gives her a month to unleash the plague...

This story takes the reader on a journey through the mists of time, principally in ancient Ireland, via the eyes of a man who has lived thousands of years in a myriad of identities.

Enchanted with ancient magic that gives him immortality and incredible self-healing powers, it has been his blessing and his curse to live through the eons of humanity’s existence, witnessing the tragedies and follies of humanity’s excesses. Even now, with his slowly aging body beginning to fail him and his recuperative powers slipping away, he will face the biggest fight of his long and illustrious life. He must find a way to defeat the impending invasion of earth by an alien race intent on the colonization of the planet and the total annihilation of humanity.
He understands that the only chance he will have lies back in the mists of time, somewhere in his beloved Ireland.

I'm so glad I've found this group, especially as now I have so much to read through I have a legitimate reason for drinking at least 8 more cups of coffee today.
My debut novel, 'We Men of Ash and Shadow' released on 1st October - it's a grimdark, gas lamp fantasy.

Here's a little blurb -
Amidst the gas lamp shadows former soldier-turned-mercenary John Vanguard hunts criminals at the behest of his corrupt employer, Captain Felix Sanquain. Shamed by his deserter past and seeking to make amends for his many misdeeds, a chance encounter with Tarryn Leersac – a skilled young would-be-assassin fallen from the graces of high society – leads Vanguard to become an unlikely mentor.
Charged with hunting down the killer of two guards left washed up on the banks of the canal, the further Vanguard delves into the underbelly of the city the more he finds himself entangled in a web of secrets and lies. A prominent aristocrat is missing. Crime lords, con men and harlots run amok and the city teeters on the brink of another revolution.
With his already precarious reputation hanging by a thread, Vanguard must piece together how and why the last war came to pass, find a way to earn redemption for his mistakes and come to terms with the past in a city where few survive, and even fewer can be trusted.
***
Outside of voraciously hunting the internet like a book-starved Gollum, I enjoy reading books like The Lies of Loche Lamora, talking to my cats, writing poems about old dragons and penning the sort of Gothic horror-fantasy short stories that lead people to ask questions like 'who thinks of this kind of thing?' and 'why does it need so many eyes?'

Silly alternate title: Girl, Interrupted by Werewolves ;D
Fun haiku summary:
Girl gets cursed, seeks cure.
Other werewolves stalking her.
Trust whom? Naught's fur sure.
Melanie just wanted to have a normal college life, but when she receives the werewolf curse, she suddenly has to deal with problems far worse than exams and term papers.
Happy Howl-oween!

For Ewan Inathius, Prince of the Curae, nothing could be worse than spending his life in hiding while a dark power rules over Verdania.
He seeks out his human counter-part, the young Princess Constance, to enlist her help in saving their world. Unfortunately, Constance has never given much thought to the world around her, even though it is her people who have been forced into slavery while the immortal Curae lord it over them.
There's also another problem.
Constance is an in-denial drug addict, a secret she keeps from everyone, even her own guardian. What's more, the drug in question, temeo, is a key ingredient in magical spells, making the young princess extremely susceptible to enchantment. What can follow from such a tangle of problems?
Of Slaves and Exiles: Book I: All the Queen's Men

My name is Aino. I'm an author from Finland who just self-published her first fantasy novel Strands of Existence 1: Island Girl. The main genre is epic fantasy, but it may not be the most traditional take on it.
Here is the blurb for it: "As an opportunist, Istrae yearns to get off her home island and visit Kerth, the City of Light and Abundance. Her preferred method of travel, however, didn't include drowning. And she didn't expect the city to be so dirty. Her memories are as broken as her body. She begins to piece them together with the help of a spirit bound to a statue and an ambitious army captain called Rime she enjoys teasing.
As Rime guides Istrae in her new life, it becomes evident the rigid rules of society and the city's Temple do not welcome those who seek to shake the established rules, which is something Istrae is incapable of resisting."
But in all honesty, the review the book's editor left on this platform on his own describes the book much better than I can, so please check the review from the book's page if interested.


my name is Olusegun Akande.
It is indeed an honour and a pleasure to be on this platform.
I’m pleased to announce that my first fantasy fiction novel is now available on Amazon. Below is a brief synopsis.
What if dragons really existed?
They once lived in peace and harmony with humankind, right here on Earth. Indeed, they still exist, but are only visible to a select few.
As a result of the malicious act of a handful of humans, the trust and friendship that once existed between humans and dragons is no more. Not only were dragons forced to look for a safer habitat away from the inner realm – Earth – but the majority of them now thirst for the ultimate revenge, the destruction of humankind.
Now dwelling in the outer realm, their knowledge and understanding of how their world and that of humans are interlinked is their greatest asset. For whatever prevails in their world is mirrored by the inner realm. But they are far from united. Whilst the majority are driven by hate and resentment, some hold on to hope, refusing to give up on the ideal of a peaceful and cordial coexistence with humans.
As a result, a power struggle unfolds between two dragons, Zoldon and Raphael. Zoldon's motives are driven by an insatiable desire to avenge the brutal murder of his younger sibling, and his older brother, Raphael, is resolute in his ideal of hope and love.
Both sides must find a way to seize control of their realm, thereby enabling one or the other to determine what happens on Earth. The key lies not in their own abilities but in the mystical powers of two unsuspecting young girls.
This fantasy adventure novel for teens, young adults and adults is available on Amazon, and there will be a five-day kindle e-book giveaway from Thursday 12th November 2020 to Monday 16th November 2020.

Right now I have one self-published book, an epic fantasy novel called Legacy of Fellnoir, the first of a planned series. The back book blurb is below:
Where history is written not by the victors, but by those who seek a political or moral gain, Fellnoir is a continent ripe with factions vying to tear the land apart. In Aqarr, the Grays and the Imperial family desire to reverse the past decades’ worth of progress in order to strengthen the empire against those who seek their extinction. One such organization Aqarr must defend against is Greater Adan, an elven group who seeks vengeance upon the descendants of those responsible for the atrocities committed during the Red Purge. Faced with moral struggles within the realm and himself, Alan must choose between loyalty and morality while Kiara struggles to resist
the change she believes would further tear her homeland apart.

If you liked Fall of the Western Kings (book 1) or Child of Prophecy (book 2 originally released as Child of Evil) and wonder what happened to the woman who was destined to bring the demons together against the men of the east, here’s the final installment. Key to Tirumfall is available for Kindle for free through Kindle Unlimited.
A print edition is also available.

I am Victoria Liiv and I recently published Through Hell & Highwater.
In university Volo Noscere, located in Rome, where new academic year brings forth alot of new challenges and questions. When the world becomes increasingly unpredictable, are the humans reason for it all, or is there more to it?
Evyline, a curious elf girl, is starting her first year at the university. Her magical capabilities are quite general - she can’t even summon a proper attack spell, which would be useful climbing through ogre infested mountains, or... visiting a dragon’s nest - but she has spirit and will to learn. She also has a knack of being in a wrong place at a wrong time. It is not only her curiosity that gets her in trouble, it’s just her luck.
Lisanna is a shapeshifter, who is sharing her dormitory room with three werewolves. She is reckless, likes to joke around and doesn’t care about studying all that much. She is over the heels in love with a vampire from fifth year. He doesn’t know it, though. She might be brave enough to jump off the roof of a building, but hasn’t found guts to approach her crush. This year might just be different.
RocTar grew up outside of the orc village he was born in. Being alone most of his life left him wary of other people. Oh, he is more than capable of handling any situation to perfection all by himself. He doesn’t need anybody; he is better off on his own, isn’t he?
Tylon has three years of experience on his back. He is already as good as any graduate from the university, or so he likes to think. He might as well be one of the strongest magic users in his generation and he is not afraid to rub it under everyone else's noses. His only care in the world is to show off his incredible power. All until… until everything changes.

"This is a fun adventure that’s full of history, ancient Egyptian magic, and a love story that defies age and time. Two awkward souls, both trying to live their best lives, collide in this fast-paced read." - Lorelai Kuhn
Here's the book's summary:
When the Egyptology department needs funds to offset a recent spate of museum thefts, Theodora Speer grudgingly trades her painting smock for an evening gown. Charming donors isn’t usually her idea of a good time—but then, she doesn't usually get to meet handsome and mysterious men like Seth Adler.
Seth Adler is desperate to get close to a very specific Egyptian mummy, and attending a fundraising gala seems just the ticket. He doesn’t expect to meet Theo, refreshing in her honesty and intriguing him against his will . . . and he definitely doesn't expect her to interfere with his plans.
Frantic to escape before the police catch up, Seth kills himself in front of Theo. Except it turns out he’s not so dead after all, and it’s up to Theo to keep him that way. Even if it means fleeing the police, practicing ancient Egyptian magic, and confronting the real thief.

I love reading fantasy books, too, though right now I don't want anything too dark. If you have a lighter fantasy without too much death, demons, and destruction, feel free to message me and let me know.

Hi Ali, I feel awkward promoting my own book, it’s all very new. But it is an adult/Ya fantasy with magic and a mystery and adventure. Definitely no demons or death or destruction or too much dark. But I’m afraid there aren’t any magic swords...

An absent creator. Magical creatures in hiding. Guardians of the creatures stripped of their powers. Magic contained in seven stones, and hidden so no one could ever abuse it again—all because of a fallen sorcerer’s lust for power.
That’s how it’s been for centuries. Magic is now the stuff of fairytales, and much of the modern world has no clue what once roamed wild and free, not realizing that many of the stories are based in truth.
Though the descendants of Guardians have no magic, they can still interact with the creatures they were sworn to protect, preserving the land where creatures reside. Sisters Amelia and Emily Davidson are two such descendants, running a bed and breakfast on property inherited from their grandfather in coastal Maine. When a development company comes knocking, they must make sure their corner of the world—and the magical creatures who live there—isn’t swallowed up. Only there’s something off about Jack Garridan, the man sent to make them sell—and something even stranger about his boss, Adrien Dunstan.
And even more bizarrely, the magical creatures have been changing some of their habits and patterns over the past few decades…as if something is shifting in the world.
STONES is RJG McManus' debut novel, and the first in its series...the beginning of a fantastical journey, where magic is very much alive.

ETA: Can't believe I forgot to mention it contains LGBT major characters!

Shifting Stars marks the beginning of the brand-new epic series, The Salvation of Tempestria. A fantasy world within a wider sci-fi universe, populated by bold characters with ridiculous radical ideas, as told by an immortal girl from the future with a plan to save the world...or possibly end it.
Blurb:
My name is Arshes Megane and I am immortal.
My Time Intervention is illegal and dangerous, but I believe it’s the only way to save our world.
To begin my justification, I must tell you about my mother, Catriona, a half-Faery magic student, on the best and worst day of her life. The day her home is destroyed by a terrible Monster. The day her Angel restores it and gives her a gift. Understanding that gift becomes her obsession.
With the aid of pioneering magic and ridiculous radical plans, Catriona allows nothing to stand in her way, until the day her quest forces her to make a terrible choice between preserving knowledge for the future and saving lives in the present.
At what price comes knowledge, and what price is too high?

Summary of The Telepathy Office by Keith Gell
The vast metropolis, a city inhabited by goblins, is in the throes of an industrial revolution forged in magic. Manna, magical energy captured in physical form, fuels its factories that produce artefacts, to be traded across the galaxy. Wizards are the new elite. They use their magical skill to amass great wealth, and in turn, political power. Resentment grows among the mundane goblin proletariat.
Magic purveys every aspect of goblin life: Telepathic communication, weather control, and healing. But alongside the benefits come risks: Mutation from manna pollution, and magical diseases of vampirism and lycanthropy. But the biggest threat of all is demonic invasion.
Vampires steal a book to summon a demon. Infernal manna finds its way onto the market place, with awful consequences.
Grand Master Pharaoh Henry must recruit a team of demon hunters to stop a full-scale invasion from Hell. But Henry is a dangerous fanatic, and those who work for him end up dead, or worse. No right-minded wizard would risk death, or losing his soul, so he recruits who he can: A drug addicted augurist, a dishonoured ork, a cowardly policeman, a fugitive vampire, and a vain fashionista who shares her mind with a demon.
Against the backdrop of armed revolution, they investigate a Satanic plot, to prevent the opening of a gate to Hell itself.


I'm the author of Maygest's Tale and Inna. Maygest's Tale is basically a knight errant quest with dark humor set in an almost dystopian fantasy world. Inna is the prequel to this story, following the previous protagonist's mother, Inna.
Here's the blurb to Maygest's Tale:
Maygest, an old thief, who has been conning people for the last decade, finds his way of life extinguished when the tyrannical Lords of Osskrip join forces and destroy all the fugitive enclaves, the only places people are allowed to be people. With no place to go and fearing that death may be near, Maygest sets off in search of a mythical harp that is said will bring peace to the land in a last-ditch effort to redeem himself before he dies. The problem is, the harp only seems to exist in his mind.

Blurb for Inna:
Being average in the court of King Nessel was the peak of power that one such Inna Goedhoagdaug could expect. Being average and young, she could walk about the Women's Quarters unfettered, free to live in her sheltered confines, and that was enough. But even this small isle of peace could not last, for young Inna was not quite as young as her large eyes belied. Now two years past her "marriageable" age and unlawfully belonging to no one, she was a hidden criminal in the eyes of Osskripi court and anything other than average for her would spell the end of her freedom. Set about forty years before Maygest's Tale, Inna, Maygest's mother, must find her way to freedom through the brewing civil war in Goed-land.
