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.
What value is freedom when you can’t even ride a dragon? The Complete Story...
As the life of a slave goes, Kantees doesn't have it too bad. Being responsible for a racing dragon means her existence is more than just drudgery and fear, even if her life is at the whim of her masters and their rules.
But when her dragon wakes her in the middle of the night Kantees is forced to make a life-or-death decision that breaks her masters’ rules and means her own life is forfeit.
Escaping on the back of dragons, with a hodgepodge of unwelcome associates, she attempts to right a wrong that can never be fixed. Until, ultimately, she must put her own life on the line to keep the freedom she has stolen for herself.

Award-Winning Finalist in the “Fiction: Science Fiction” category of the 2015 USA Best Book Awards
Twenty-year-old Ethan Jones lives in a post-apocalyptic, oppressive society that terminates anyone with mutations caused by nuclear radiation in an effort to keep the human race pure. Because of that, he lives every day in fear for his life, for he has an incredible mutation that gives him an edge when foraging in Melbourne’s ruins. An edge he uses to survive encounters with the vile Skel savages who roam those ruins.
His life becomes complicated when he rescues a mysterious Japanese girl from the Skel and brings her back with him, for she breaks the town’s rigid conventions in her pursuit of him, placing their lives in jeopardy. Her odd behaviour and probing questions baffle him, as does the fact that he understands her when she speaks in Japanese.
At the same time, the Skel ramp up their attacks on the foraging teams. Is this part of a larger plan that could spell the town’s doom? And why do the Skel suddenly possess advanced technology – who is backing them, and why?
Keeping his mutation secret, uncovering the girl’s true intentions and trying to save the town all vie for Ethan’s attention. And if he fails, not only his life, but the lives of all, are at stake.

It wasn't enough to kill my mate, heir to the throne. My obsessive Fae brother-in-law wants the crown. And he wants me ruling by his side.
I thought I was done with romance until a certain pompous elf reappeared in my life at the illustrious Monster Ball. A little teasing led to bruised lips and captured hearts. No one wants Jhaeros and me to be together, not even my favorite sister, Melarue. But she’s a teenager just coming into her elemental powers and discovering boys—the wrong kind—the type I want to shoot arrows through.
My royal in-laws are playing a treacherous game, and my brother-in-law is determined to get what he wants. But this elf princess no longer has a master. I don’t want a crown. I want freedom, family, and the love of a lifetime. But love might be the one thing that destroys us all.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
