Happy Wednesday, fellow reading addicts!

The last deals email of the year is finally here. I can’t believe the year is over already. It seemed like just a few weeks ago we started 2022. I’m not sure what 2023 will hold for me, but I plan to dive in and work hard to make things happen that I have been working toward for a while.

With the start of the New Year, many people make New Year’s Resolutions. I don’t make resolutions but I set goals for myself. Have you set any resolutions for the New Year> Do you have any big, celebratory plans this weekend?

This Week’s Special Deals

Last Gasp

Being a cop in the only nonhuman city in the world is tough.

You’ve got magical and mundane crimes, standard and supernatural perps, and as always, plenty of paperwork for both.

The different groups don’t often mix. Elves have elvish problems, goblins have goblin problems. Everyone takes care of their own.

But with the rest of the world going to hell, literally in some places, this divided city has to change.

Enter the Inquisitors, the first arm of the integration initiative to make a stronger, better Quadras.

Spearheading the Inquisitor program are two cops who’d rather be anywhere but with each other.

Doughas Ruiridh is an old warhorse from the Dwarven Quarter hoping to retire already. Esselliar VorKluvaith is a hotshot elf investigator looking to bust corruption, unfettered by a partner.

They must find a way to work together and trust each other because something big is coming.

Malicious factions are growing like cancers in the city, and their schemes could cost the lives of thousands.

The Inquisitors will have to make this partnership work if they don’t want the city’s next breath to be its last.

Game of Serfs: Book 1

It was supposed to be a fun break while school was out for the semester.

A chance meeting between Benjamin Draig and Martin “Marty” Ambrose suggests the potential for a great friendship. Both were with different groups of friends just outside of Moab, both on their way to hike through the mountains.

But then things went horribly wrong.

It’s all Benjamin and Marty can do to stay alive when the earth opens beneath their feet, and they’re swallowed by the mountain.

As a fire-spewing monster emerges and spreads its wings to blot out the sky, Benjamin and Marty learn that the comfortable illusion of the world they knew is gone.

Everything has changed. Depending on the other for every second of their survival, they reach what looks like safety…

…then their entire world comes undone.

The world beneath the mountain is impossibly huge, but the sheer size isn’t the only thing that beggars belief. 

As the titanic monster takes to the sky, leaving behind the lair that has lain buried for millennia, the two men know what they have to do.

They’ve got to brave the dangers of the dragon’s lair and hope there’s something to defeat the monster razing the country in fire and flames.

Otherwise, this new world is going to be a place where becoming a dragon’s dinner is the better option.

Blightmage

Embrace the (B)light… 

It has been fifty years since the sun died over Ashathar.

Blaike was born in the blight. As one of the “touched” he is devoid of power.

He is forbidden from following the Lightweaver Path.

The “touched” still serve the brightlands, working the mines to extract sunstone; to deliver it to the Lightweavers, the saviors, preservers, and rulers of Ashathar. 

The largest sunstone ever extracted from the mines has been found. It could empower the brightlands for months. When it is discovered that someone stole the sunstone’s power, Blaike is exiled from the brightlands. Was he really to blame? Can he survive the blight? Or, is there a larger threat than the Lightweavers ever realized that could destroy Ashathar once and for all?

Ming Yue is the daughter of a brewer. The Ming clan’s elixirs have supported those on the Lightweaver path for a half-century. 

Yue’s twin brother was taken by the blighted when they were children. But when she’s denied access to the Lightweaver path, since she is not the first-born child of her clan, Yue’s father tasks her to create an elixir that might save her brother from the blight.

He’s the only chance the Ming clan has to remain prominent amongst the brightborn, to produce a Lightweaver who might protect Ashathar for years to come. 

But there is no guarantee that Yue’s brother has survived among the blighted. Would he remember her at all? Is the mysterious figure, found in the blight, truly her brother–or is he someone else, someone who might challenge the dominance of the Lightweavers and the security of Ashathar?

Blightmage is the first book in Kataklysm, an action packed epic progression fantasy series. Fans of progression/cultivation epic fantasies, unique magic systems, and immersive epics like Will Wight’s Cradle series or Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive where the hero starts weak but gains power over time will also enjoy this expansive saga.

Virtue of War

A stolen alien weapon must be found…

Kaylin Ramirez has been framed for the heist of the Virtue of War—an elite alien weapon with the power to destabilize the universe. She faces death if she doesn’t return this legendary weapon.

How can she return what she doesn’t have? She’ll have to steal it from the actual thieves.

Now she’s racing against time to retrieve the Virtue, but the odds promise almost certain death.

Can Kaylin pull off the near-impossible counter-heist of a lifetime? Or will she and the universe pay her nefarious rival’s ultimate price? 

Virtue of War is a sci-fi adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

And mystery!

When Ree, Sofka, and KeeKee find themselves outcasts from their own pack, with no one to help them, they set off on a journey that will take them all the way to the ends of Earth… Literally.
