Fantasy

Sometimes, this world just isn't enough, right?  And, what's better than stepping to a world created by some of the most imaginative authors around?  That's what we bring to you on as consistent a basis as possible. Free and discounted ebooks in the Fantasy genre from bestselling authors. Never pay full price again to escape into thousands of different mindscapes!

 

Definition of the "Fantasy Genre": As alluded to above, the primary components of bestselling Fantasy ebooks are the creation of a rich and expansive other world.  While those other worlds can have aspects similar to our reality, the less so, the better.  Ebooks in the Fantasy genre also use magic commonly, and include magical creatures in their plot lines.  Perhaps one of the most important technical elements of a Fantasy ebook is that while the rules in the other world created by the author may not work in our reality, they are internally consistent to the story itself.

 

Some examples of bestselling Fantasy ebooks are George R.R. Martin (Game of Thrones), J.R.R. Tolkien (Lord of the Rings), Brandon Sanderson (The Way of Kings), and Piers Anthony (his entire Xanth series).  And, you know what?  We are going to throw the movie The Neverending Story in here, because it had a book in it after all, and it's a premier example of fantasy.

Burn (The Last City Book 1)

by Dylan Steel


Alphastad. The last city left standing. A refuge for a remnant of humanity. Until it isn’t.


Charlie lives on the streets — the lowest level in a city of towers. The government doesn’t care about her existence — not like if she were an upstanding citizen living on a middle or upper level. To everyone above her, she’s forgettable scum, utterly insignificant… which is exactly what she wants.

The streets of Alphastad are dangerous. Charlie’s only survived them the last three years by pledging her loyalty to the leader of her sector and by keeping her past a secret.

But when a riot breaks out, the government retaliates by cutting off the food supply and transforming Alphastad from Earth’s last refuge to a tomb. As a street runner, Charlie can smuggle in rations — if she’s willing to risk the secret she’s already killed to keep.


A new young adult dystopian adventure for fans of The Hunger Games and Divergent.

Moonlight Detective Agency Complete Series Omnibus

by Michael Anderle


Get this completed series in one giant boxed set today!

Remy is down to his last $100,000... He's in dire straits.

From Bestselling authors Isobella Crowley and Michael Anderle.

Last Ditch Effort:

While his rapidly dwindling checking account is a problem, Remy finds out the last company he owns is run by something that goes bump in the night.

And she is willing to bump him off if he fails to live up to her expectations.

Trying to get sober, Remy needs to work the day shift for Moonlight Detective Agency. 

Can he learn the ropes before the faeries, werewolves or his supposed employee kills him off?

There is only one way to find out. Accomplish what Taylor sets out for him to do, or die trying.

Diamond in The Rough:

The secret world is being hidden by a vampire hundreds of years old - and her human frat-boy apprentice. 

He might shape up to be an asset. If she doesn't kill him first.

Between setting up the office and hiring new preternatural staff, with some surprising...talents, Taylor tasks Remy with a new case.

She assumes he will stick to her instructions.

But this is Remy.

Reformed frat boy. Low compliance. With a desperate need to prove himself...

Of course, he won’t stick to the plan.

So when things heat up with the dwarven cartel - and the preternatural world order hangs in the balance - it'll take everything Taylor has to prevent the city of NY being exposed to all she's managed to kept secret for centuries.

Will Taylor decide that Remy needs to take the final nap for the benefit of everyone? Will everything go up in a Frat-Boy blaze of glory? 

What happens when Remy starts to get a clue?

A GIrl's Best Friend:

Taylor sets Remy on the trail of a dwarven drug cartel responsible for supplying humans with preternatural drugs. 

Is this just another way to test if Remy can stay alive?

Drugs that are deadly to humans. In order to prevent countless human deaths and keep the preternatural world hidden, Remy has to stop the deal from happening AND take out the supply chain.

This would be just a regular Tuesday except Moswen is closing in and her attacks are getting more targeted.

To save both worlds, the team have to survive – and that is going to take all their wits and resources - and wits are in short supply.

Under Pressure:

With Moswen still on the loose and the whole preternatural world in mortal danger, Taylor realizes that drastic times call for drastic measures.

Meanwhile, Remy and the team - oblivious to the dire situation Taylor is getting into - work to track down Moswen and her goons.

A clear plan of what they're going to do if they find her, eludes them...

How do they take on the world's oldest, most powerful vampire?

Of course, Moswen is tracking their every move and intends to pick them off one by one before they can get close.

Their only course of action is to go balls out to take her out first, in the most cunning way they know how...

Will what they know be enough? Or will Moswen accomplish killing Taylor and completing her plans?

Veterans Code

by John Walker


Edgar Bryce finds himself lost on a journey he never planned. Years after the end of a massive war with an alien race called the 
xinthal, he’s struggled to find some inner peace. Odd jobs have taken him across the galaxy, a loner in the darkness constantly staying ahead of his own thoughts, doubts, and guilt. With no real future, no sense of purpose, he seems destined to wander for the rest of his days.

Until a strange signal interrupts a simple prospecting job. A message comes in from a group of POWs lost behind enemy lines. The treaty ensured all prisoners on both sides would be returned. This is proof the xinthal failed to live up to their end of the bargain, holding nearly two hundred men and women unlawfully.

The obvious solution carries complications. Rescuing them may well fire up hostilities between the human Federation and the Xinthal Empire. Edgar wrestles with his conscience, not to mention a sacred duty that outlasted his service to the military. The authorities may not be able to offer aid, which means a private citizen with nothing to lose will have to do the unthinkable.

Form a team, cross the border, and save the people himself.

Readers are touched by this historical novel:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “This book will grab your heart, make a fist, and squeeze until there is nothing but a dried up husk left. You have to read it! No, seriously. There are so many feels going on here. The author lifts you up then smashes you down, over and over again and I guarantee you’ll ask for more.” – A Voracious Reader

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Author Elyse Hoffman tells a small-scale story about World War II that perfectly demonstrates the dehumanization of the Jewish community of that era and how young German men were brainwashed to commit mass genocide. The characters are complex people with inner conflicts and grey morals that make them relatable and thoroughly compelling to read. If you liked the hit Hollywood movie Jojo Rabbit, you'll love Fracture.” – Reader’s Favorite

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book was amazing. I loved how much depth the characters had, and appreciated the moments that broke the tension by making me laugh. Hoffman did an excellent job of bringing the whole story to life, and has a unique way of describing things that made this a delight to read. Highly recommend!” – Goodreads Reviewer

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "…watching Franz wrestle with his beliefs and question everything he had been told was difficult for me. I found myself egging him on hoping he’d realize the truth about the lies he’d been told...
Only the best books can pull your emotions in every direction. I laughed, I worried, I gasped in shock, felt connected, had butterflies, and felt an ache in my stomach. It has been a long time since a book did this to me. Do not deprive yourself of this book. The author truly wrote a beautiful book about brokenness, love, and loyalty. It was raw and intriguing…”
