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.
Find the compass, save the world or save herself?
For Austin robbery detective Maggie Parker, dating is harder than running down a felon, even if the guy is worth it – just ask Jake. Now add in magic.
When she finds someone breaking into her garage, stealing a favorite wooden puzzle box everything changes. Did she just see a compass fly?
Can she learn how to use the magic of bubbles to chart a new course in time? The mechanics may hold the answer.
Her new quest: Rescue the passengers on an ancient ship – a big blue marble called Earth – and save herself.
Recover the compass, find the other Elementals and help decide Earth’s fate.
Simple? It’s a lot harder than it sounds. And there’s that fourth date…
NOTE: Formerly titled: The Peabrain's Idea (Okay, only I liked the title...)
Dmitry is Estonian. He lives in Los Gatos; his girlfriend is a stripper; he works for Eastern European mobsters... and he's having an existential crisis of epic proportions.
In 2017, scientists began using the simulated world of Grand Theft Auto to test self-driving cars.
25 years later, in 2042, they're using the latest popular video game, 'Outlaw', and it's Los Angeles-like world of 'Los Gatos' to test the latest form of A.I., intended for military applications and a dumbed down version for hospitality.
The 'Outlaw' experiment, as it comes to be known, is practically an afterthought, intended as a safe way to catch "thought anomalies", cognitive failures, and general threats to human life prior to real world testing.
But soon, Dmitry, the Estonian career criminal and in-game character given A.I. capabilities, begins to slowly realize something is off about his environment. A bottle of water sits upon a table in a way that's contrary to physics. An electrical tower on the edge of the desert where his mother lives seems to have moved fifty yards for no apparent reason. Doors that are impossible to open. The strange behavior of 'people' around him; always ready for a fight over the dumbest of infractions.
All of these add up to one seriously flawed simulated world that Dmitry attempts to navigate while also dealing with his drug addicted crime boss; an increasingly brutal underworld made worse by the new Russian chess master and crime lord Nicolai; a mother recently diagnosed with cancer who needs money for treatments; and finally, a growing sense of empathy for the plight of innocents in the world of Los Gatos combined with distrust towards the very 'reality' that surrounds him.
This isn't your average academy series. Animus is all about The Nexus Academy. The future of alien warfare.
This digital boxed set contains the first four books in the Animus series. The best-selling scifi series by father and son - Michael and Joshua Anderle!
Initiate - Book 1
He was in a gang but was trying to change his future when a board member of the elite advanced academy NEXUS made a snap decision and offered him a chance.
Then fate, or an unbalanced genius, offered him another.
The Nexus Academy is for the elite trainees from Earth, and now trials from our alien allies, as they teach the future generation how to fight, lead, hack, spy, and many other talents and tactics.
Hired by companies, governments and NGOs, these graduates work to pay off the massive debt their training at the academy accumulates.
You don't become the best of the best by staying alive. With the Animus, you are closer to perfection with each death you suffer.
Kaiden Jericho would rather skip the death part, thank you very much.
Co-Op - Book 2
Who is he going to work with, and will that partner be able to handle him... Including his (shall we say) slightly inflated ego of himself?
Even if that ego is deserved, just a little?
Chief is learning to be a little more supportive, except when Chief of Security Wulfson decides a few students deserve a little more intense training.
With all of the additional injuries Kaiden suffers in his extra-curricular training, will he succumb to the blue goop pain killer?
In CO-OP Kaiden has to figure out how best to work with a partner, someone who is as good in their profession as he is in his.
Death Match - Book 3
And then open it up for player-vs-player action where even your partners can gain skill points for stabbing you in the back?
It is time for Kaiden to grow up a little and play with a larger team to accomplish a three-peat. The only problem?
The test has been engineered to kill the players.
What's a little blood between friends?
In Deathmatch, Kaiden has to figure out how best to work with multiple team members.
Advance - Book 4
He has been working odd jobs since the first school year ended.
(People have to eat, right?)
The problem? He isn't as prepared as he thinks he is.
Out in the jungles of the Amazon, Kaiden meets a new set of nightmares, and death there is permanent.
Even with all his previous training in the Animus, will Kaiden survive?
___
You don't become the best of the best by staying alive. In the Animus, you are closer to perfection with each death you suffer.
Kaiden Jericho would rather skip the death part, thank-you-very-much.
The future is looking bright, except for the pain.

"...an inventive and funny mystery with a dynamic lead..." Self-Publishing Review, 4½ Stars
Old maids! Murder! Masked Beast Lords!
Lady Isabella Farrah didn’t expect a proposal from a masked man at the Annual Ambassadorial Ball—nor did she expect a murder.
She got both.
Happily for society at large, Isabella is of the opinion that noses were made for sticking into other peoples’ business, and she is delighted to do just that in the service of the murdered man—and perhaps in service of a certain Beast Lord, who is not as grateful as Isabella thinks he ought to be.
Now it’s just a matter of finding a murderer in a society of malcontents, traitors, and bad dancers.
It’s a game of masks, and the Beast Lord isn’t the only person hiding behind one…
War is looming and Captain Jack Klingerman answers the call.
Teamed up with Ally, a human consciousness in a concierge bot-body, he heads out to New Atlantia in the Federation's boondocks where he finds two sides ready to blow each other off the face of the planet.
Standing in the way of a peaceful resolution is a little matter of a kidnapped scientist and a stolen zero-point energy generator: a piece of tech which, in the wrong hands, is capable of ripping a hole in the universe.
Jack's only chance at saving the entire space-time continuum as we know it is to unravel a sinister plot, track the kidnappers, and take down an endless stream of covert delta forces and black ops teams as he planet-hops in pursuit of the device.
All of which is making it harder to maintain a cease-fire back at New Atlantia.
He's going to have to pull out the stops to save the peace, the Federation, and a healthy chunk of the universe.

Fifteen-year-old Riwenne relies on her best friend Nexita to keep her on time and out of trouble in school. On Choosing Day, she hopes they'll both become priestesses, the most important job in the floating capital city. But they become separated at the choosing and Riwenne is left on her own for the first time.
Then a message comes from the sea goddess to warn Riwenne that Nexita is in danger, and she must overcome her fears and save her best friend from the mechanical beasts!
Armed with the goddess's magic, Riwenne has to learn to fight. She is divided between the desperate need to get enough training to save Nexita and her priestess duties, and she can't let herself get distracted. She must recruit other warriors and lead the quest to find out the mystery behind the mechanical beasts, but most of all, she must learn to trust herself.
A yearly trek to the carnival with his young sons is the highlight of Ian Carrol’s life. What begins as another opportunity to build lifelong memories quickly fades to black by the time the sun sets.
The world and humanity at large take an inexplicable turn, leaving the struggling single father to resort to desperate measures to get his family to safety. As they traverse the increasingly dangerous landscape, they find themselves face-to-face with the worst this broken society has to offer.
Will Ian achieve his goal and get his family to his parents’ home before danger finds them?
A century since the departure of the Gods, the Three Nations are now united beneath the Tsar. Magic has been outlawed, its power too dangerous to remain unchecked. All Magickers must surrender themselves to the crown, or face imprisonment and death.
Alana's mundane life has just been torn apart by the emergence of her brother's magic. Now they must leave behind everything they’ve ever known and flee – before the Tsar’s Stalkers pick up their trail. Tasked with hunting down renegade Magickers, the merciless hunters will stop at nothing to bring them before the Tsar’s judgement.
As the noose closes around Alana and her brother, disgraced hero Devon finds himself at odds with the law when he picks a fight with the wrong man. The former warrior has set aside his weapons, but now, caught between the renegades and the Stalkers, he is forced to pick a side – the empire, or the innocent.

A man broken in body and spirit, Cazaril returns to the noble household he once served as page and is named secretary-tutor to the beautiful, strong-willed sister of the impetuous boy who is next in line to rule. It is an assignment Cazaril dreads, for it must ultimately lead him to the place he most fears: the royal court of Cardegoss, where the powerful enemies who once placed him in chains now occupy lofty positions.
But it is more than the traitorous intrigues of villains that threaten Cazaril and the Royesse Iselle here, for a sinister curse hangs like a sword over the entire blighted House of Chalion. And only by employing the darkest, most forbidden of magics can Cazaril hope to protect his royal charge -- an act that will mark him as a tool of the miraculous . . . and trap him in a lethal maze of demonic paradox.

Hell in a Head Gasket (book 1)
When Sere Mal-Laurette escaped hell, she thought she’d left her demons behind her. But now that one has found his way through hell’s gate, others are sure to follow. Then all hell will break loose.
If Sere fails to contain the little soulless monsters, the loas of the dead will likely figure out her true identity. Then they’ll be all over her soul, and she can kiss immortality goodbye. Moreover, someone needs to send the demons back to where they came from before they wreak havoc on the citizens of New Orleans.
To prevent the demon doppelgängers from killing their human equivalents and taking over their lives, Sere will need the help of people she trusts—and some she doesn’t. It’s time for her to embrace the demon hunter she was always meant to be. To do so, however, she’ll have to quickly figure out the line between protector of humanity and murdering psychopath.
Hell Bent for Demons (book 2)
After ridding the swamp of a serial-killing demon, Sere Mal-Laurette has moved to New Orleans to put some distance between the interdimensional beacon of her soul and the hellmouth. Hell, however, has other plans for her when a new horde of beasts is unleashed.
Sere will have to knock the rust off her fighting skills if she hopes to save herself and humanity from a fate worse than death. But she soon learns she can’t do it alone, and she’s going to need more than the help of a bartending former Navy SEAL who makes her weak in the knees. The bikers and gator hunters she’s been using for sport during her bar brawls are going to take some serious convincing to join her cause—even if they are the ones most at risk.
By relying on those closest to her to repair her doppelgänger body, hunt down the demons that are out to get her, and protect her soul from the loas of the dead, Sere just might learn something about what it means to be human.
Hell’s Highway (book 3)
Having put down the latest batch of escaped doppelgängers, Sere Mal-Laurette felt she’d earned a little time off from demon hunting. She was wrong.
Her inattention has allowed a new batch of hellions to rise from the swamp and abduct Rampart Thibodaux. With the hot ex-Navy SEAL’s blood and soul infecting her, Sere has no choice but to jump back on her motorcycle to rescue him. Her quest will cost her dearly but also bring her closer to being human than she could have imagined.
Sere’s emotional roller-coaster ride of human experiences, however, is overshadowed by the rise of a new devil—one who isn’t satisfied with simply claiming hell as his only domain.
No problem. She has a foul-mouthed troll on her side.

"An eerie epic [...] Bears favorable comparison to Interview with the Vampire. I loved this novel." -- Stephen King
From the award-winning master of horror and Afrofuturism Tananarive Due comes a modern-classic of dark introspection.
When Jessica marries David, he is everything she wants in a family man: brilliant, attentive, ever youthful. Yet she still feels something about him is just out of reach. Soon, as people close to Jessica begin to meet violent, mysterious deaths, David makes an unimaginable confession: More than 400 years ago, he and other members of an Ethiopian sect traded their humanity so they would never die, a secret he must protect at any cost. Now, his immortal brethren have decided David must return and leave his family in Miami. Instead, David vows to invoke a forbidden ritual to keep Jessica and his daughter with him forever.
Harrowing, engrossing and skillfully rendered, My Soul to Keep traps Jessica between the desperation of immortals who want to rob her of her life and a husband who wants to rob her of her soul. With deft plotting and an unforgettable climax, this tour de force reminiscent of early Anne Rice will win Due a new legion of fans.
