About Featured Book: Tales of Witches and Wyverns by S. Ramsey

It’s been nine years since the shy new kid, Dylan, appeared at the school bus stop and put an end to Enid’s torment. Ever since then, she’s had twisted nightmares that her best friend and growing love interest would pay the price for getting involved with someone like her. Someone different.

On Enid’s sixteenth birthday, those fears have come to fruition.

Journey with Enid as she travels to the fae realm to save her kidnapped friend and stop the Unseelie Queen Malagant’s quest to conquer both the fae and human worlds. The human world stands frozen in time until Dylan returns, and failure is not an option.

The world of the fae is fraught with danger: there are rules one must not bend, deceptions one must not fall for, and creatures one must not cross if one is to survive. An impossible task for most humans, Enid quickly finds herself in circumstances where being different is not so bad after all. Armed by the immortal Merlin with the relics of King Arthur’s knights and a trace of the magic she never knew she had, Enid will reach the mountains of the Gwyllion and bring Dylan home or die trying.

Will Enid rescue Dylan and stop evil from taking over both realms? Or will she fail and watch helplessly as a shadow descends over everything and everyone she loves?

Read Tales of Witches and Wyverns and follow Enid as she discovers just how advantageous being different can be.

On the night that monsters with glowing eyes took everything away…

Mikey Black’s mother had called him special. As if making everyone around him deathly sick was some kind of gift. But it only brought Mikey terrible loneliness.

He spent years being tossed between foster homes, never lasting more than a month. It didn’t take families long to realize being near him was bad for their health.

All Mikey wanted were answers. What was wrong with him? What were those things? And why were they attacked at a gas station in the middle of nowhere?

Mikey thought he’d never find those answers or a place to belong. Until a kind hearted mailman named Arthur offered to adopt him. Amazingly, Arthur seemed immune to Mikey’s curse. But his new foster father had a secret…

About Featured Book: The Big Bad Wolf: Book 1: Blood (A Fantasy Reincarnation Isekai Light Novel) by 13 Pitch Black Cats

For a limited time after release at $0.99. Valid until January 20, 2023

When a mysterious entity grants a man who died a chance to be a hero in another life in a fantasy world, he cannot believe his luck. The one condition: he must fight the demon king if he shows up during his new iteration.

He accepts and…

Wakes in the body of a young female wolf beastkin named Lucia haunted by the memory of orcs ravaging her town. Not the rebirth he was hoping for.

He soon learns that beastkin are not looked upon kindly in these parts and, because Lucia is an orphaned beastkin, she is drafted into the military. But this new body has its perks as well as its drawbacks. She possesses a hot temper, an incredibly youthful and strong body, and claws. However, the longer he is in this body, the willpower of his former life begins to yield to Lucia’s overwhelming primal instincts.

With the help and magic of an enigmatic female elf at an orphanage, Lucia may have a chance at controlling her violent nature as she contends with this harsh, new alien world. Among the threats: murderous orcish raiders, fearsome beasts, and summoned demons. And quite possibly, the demon king himself.

No small feat for a young beastkin, but it sure beats being dead.

This Royal Road alumnus is a unique reincarnation fantasy adventure featuring plenty of action, twists, and memorable characters that takes place during the hero’s rebirthed childhood rather than glossing over it like most books in the genre. This exciting isekai story with its female lead will transport you to a lush new world filled with fantastical races, unforeseen danger, and powerful magic you won’t soon forget.

About Featured Book: The Prince of Tabor by W. Penn White

Many centuries before the age of Man, as the ancient chroniclers tell, Tabor, the second greatest kingdom on earth, was under siege. The king had died in battle, and the queen had died in childbirth. As the enemy was closing in, the infant heir escaped far away to the tiny hamlet of Streamside. Brought up there in a boisterous tavern by his brother Jacoby, Young Nathaniel could not know that the trumpets of war had again sounded and that a greater army than ever, its leaders bent on revenge and world dominion, threatened a vastly weakened Tabor. He would be forced onto a quest of unparalleled magic and danger by forces unknown to him. Hellbent on world control. evil necromancer Crepitus sent assassins to Streamside, forcing Nathaniel and his brother into a fight for existence and a struggle to regain his birthright and save his kingdom. It is an epic fantasy of immense sweep set in the misty beginnings of the world and tells of the struggle of one young man, facing War and Magic, to survive.
