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.
A thousand years ago, the Nine Realms burned...
...and the gods were driven to the brink of annihilation.
To save themselves, a deal was struck with the Fates of Asgard so that all worlds could live on. As part of the bargain, every hundred years, fifty mortal boys and girls are chosen to become "The Favoured."
These young men and women will inherit a gods' tremendous powers, using them in service of the Nine Realms.
So it has been ever since the Nine Realms were restored.
When perfectly ordinary 13-year-old Amanda West is claimed as the fifty-first "Favoured," neither god nor mortal can answer why.
This is a tale of action and adventure for any young magician longing to attend Hogwarts; this is the book for any aspiring hero who thirsts to battle alongside Percy Jackson.
If you think you might be one of the chosen... Join Amanda in the land of the Norse gods. Feel the power of Thor, Odin, Freya, and Loki. Become "One of the Favoured!"
"This YA fantasy debut finds a teenager imbued with the power of a goddess from Norse mythology...A methodically complex series opener that should satisfy Hogwarts fans." - Kirkus Reviews
The goddesses must be appeased.
Nine naked hysterical women appear out of nowhere triggering a spate of bizarre deaths in the town of Didymus.
Detective Hubert Maimone must find the shadowy mastermind behind these deaths ... that all lead back to him.

A science fiction novel that begins as a murder mystery and is taken over by an interstellar treasure hunt. What could draw poet, explorer, loner and paranoid Mykol Ranglen away from the relative peace of his own stellar habitat?

Propelled by ever changing and deepening mysteries Mykol embarks to uncover secrets which could make people rich beyond their wildest dreams...or tear apart human civilization. The escalating quest takes him through worlds of many dangerous extremes, leading him to confront the deadly alien "fist of thorns," extinct species refusing to give up their power over the future, and those racing against him to uncover the secret first. But in the course of his pursuit, he must also face his own secrets. And some of these are more dangerous.

Noemi Ochana never wanted to be a rebel leader...
…but like any spacer, she rarely gets what she wants.
It’s hard enough being the only female cargo foreman—make that forewoman—on Aikkan Station. Sure, she can pilot a mech with the best of them, and her team is made up of the finest mech pilots she could find. But when their boss runs afoul of the most ambitious Council Prince in the system, the repercussions are deadly—and they land squarely on Noemi’s shoulders.
Accused of murder and in possession of an impenetrable secret, Noemi and her team are suddenly rebels on the run. Trapped on as stolen freighter and surrounded by the enemy fleet, their only hope is to plan a daring rescue right into the heart of enemy territory—the planet Aquitania.
With only their mechs as weapons, they must stage a daring rescue. If they fail, they’re as good as dead. But if they succeed, they could alter the balance of power throughout the system—and maybe even the entire Empire.
A rebel leader, her unlikely team, and a handful of modified cargo mechs are all that stand between a chance at freedom… or certain death.

The epic novel, an African Game of Thrones, from the Man Booker Prize-winning author of A Brief History of Seven Killings
In the stunning first novel in Marlon James's Dark Star trilogy, myth, fantasy, and history come together to explore what happens when a mercenary is hired to find a missing child.
Tracker is known far and wide for his skills as a hunter: "He has a nose," people say. Engaged to track down a mysterious boy who disappeared three years earlier, Tracker breaks his own rule of always working alone when he finds himself part of a group that comes together to search for the boy. The band is a hodgepodge, full of unusual characters with secrets of their own, including a shape-shifting man-animal known as Leopard.
As Tracker follows the boy's scent--from one ancient city to another; into dense forests and across deep rivers--he and the band are set upon by creatures intent on destroying them. As he struggles to survive, Tracker starts to wonder: Who, really, is this boy? Why has he been missing for so long? Why do so many people want to keep Tracker from finding him? And perhaps the most important questions of all: Who is telling the truth, and who is lying?
Drawing from African history and mythology and his own rich imagination, Marlon James has written a novel unlike anything that's come before it: a saga of breathtaking adventure that's also an ambitious, involving read. Defying categorization and full of unforgettable characters, Black Leopard, Red Wolf is both surprising and profound as it explores the fundamentals of truth, the limits of power, and our need to understand them both.
A prehistoric virus. An infectious primal hunger. Some discoveries are better left buried…
James would much rather hang out with his friends than go hunting with his father, the survivalist. What starts out as another uneventful trip, however, takes a hard turn for the worse when they’re attacked without explanation. Panic stricken and running for his life, trying to get back to his family, James and a handful of other survivors are forced to fight an enemy they cannot beat on grounds they do not know. The odds are not in their favor, but if they want to survive, they must venture deep into the deadly unknown, right down to the heart of his ravenous horde…

The Uncommon Rider:
The first dragon rider in over a hundred years has been born.
And it’s a girl.
Never before has a female been chosen to ride a dragon.
The Elite, a guild comprised exclusively of dragon riders, is dead according to most. No one has seen a rider in decades. The problems they used to fight overwhelm the world. Dragons are thought to be near extinction.
However, the Elite aren’t dead…
It’s just that a bunch of crusty, old men who do nothing that benefits the world at large are easy to mistake as useless corpses.
Sophia Beaufont is about to change all of that.
When the dragon egg that magnetized to her hatches, it sets Sophia on a new course. The Elite are immediately notified. She’s expected to train. To defend. To fight.
Sophia is ready to conquer evil, as the dragon riders should have been doing for centuries.
However, the Elite have been turning a blind eye, allowing the world to be overrun by criminals.
That’s all about to change.
S. Beaufont isn’t a girl who will be told to sit down and relax when a war is brewing that only a dragon rider can extinguish.
Arbitrate or Die:
Dragons are almost extinct.
Eggs are rare. The dragons alive are in danger.
All because of one man.
Thad Reinhart doesn’t just want dragonriders gone because their role as adjudicators threatens his businesses. His grudge is personal. But there’s one thing he didn’t anticipate.
S. Beaufont isn’t like any dragonrider before.
She is modern. She thinks differently. And she definitely doesn’t look like a dragonrider. And when it comes to tackling challenges, Sophia uses new world thinking for old world problems.
Will it be enough to beat an evil bent on destroying the planet?
Magitech Rises:
Only a few dragonriders exist.
Only five dragon eggs are left in the world.
After they are gone, dragons and riders will be gone forever.
Unless one woman can change everything. The only problem is that Sophia Beaufont doesn’t know what to do.
Magitech is seeking to ruin the world.
Everything hangs in the balance and not even Mother Nature can fix things. However, something is being orchestrated behind the scenes and S. Beaufont strangely feels like it involves her.
Can she help to save the Dragon Elite?
Will magitech destroy the planet?

2018 American Fiction Awards Finalist - Mystery/Humor
2018 PenCraft Awards Winner for Literary Excellence
Murder has come once more to the seaside town of Crab Cove, testing the mettle of “almost handsome” Detective Simon Grave and his “nearly invisible” partner, Sergeant Barry Blunt, who investigate a locked-room mystery with a significant twist: the prime suspects are in the locked room, not the victim, a logic-defying situation that challenges the team at every turn.
As if murder weren’t enough, they must also investigate the simultaneous disappearance of The MacGuffin Trophy from that same locked room, the studio of artist Whitney Waters, famous for her stylized paintings of red herrings.
Who is/are the killer(s)? How did he/she/they get out of the locked room with the trophy, kill the victim, and return unnoticed by others in the room? These and other questions, including the limits of logic and the meaning of life, are posed and perhaps even answered in this quirky, near-future mystery. Yes, there are robots.
"A truly hilarious mystery in the tradition of Janet Evanovich, Thomas Davidson and Rich Leder." –Best Thrillers
