Book excerpt: A forgotten prisoner. A young ranger. A magical librarian. A headstrong dragon rider. Four elves' fates are bound as an ancient evil rises... to end them all. Aedon's captivity in Tir-na-Alathea is over when darkness descends upon the Living Forest, and the elf's only choices become escape, or death; far from the glory of the fame and notoriety of his past. Lost, alone, and desperate to escape the deadly beasts now hunting him, he does not count on meeting Lief na-Arboreali, a ranger of the woodland elves... and Aedon's natural worst enemy. Lief prides herself on being one of Lune's finest rangers; now, she is the only one left alive. She must notify the Queen at once that the realm's defences have been breached by unimaginably malevolent sorcery. The last thing she needs is to stumble upon an escaped prisoner. When Lief is injured by the creatures hunting them, Aedon and Lief become unlikely allies. Neither can survive without the other in a deadly race to outrun what hunts them and bring word to the queen - before Lief succumbs to the dark poison raging through her body. Lief must learn to trust another again, and Aedon must dust off his once legendary skills if they are to flee through sorcery and shadow to live. In the heart of Pelenor, Venya is a keeper of the Athenaeum; the sum of Pelenor's wisdom contained in grimoires more powerful than she can imagine. When she unwittingly unleashes the magic within, it is not just her life at stake. Before another librarian is attacked by the beast prowling the vaults, Venya must find a way to bind the deadly grimoire. Unlikely aid finds her, but can she trust a grimoire about whom she knows nothing? The more Venya delves into the vaults, the more uncertain she is of all she had been taught of grimoires - and the more determined she is to discover the truth of their mighty power... for good or evil. Deep within the mountains, Vasili the dragon rider seeks greater glory than scouting for snowstorms. When an unlikely visitor arrives with dark tidings, Vasili and his dragon embark on a reckless mission to prove their worth - but what they discover is beyond their worst nightmares. An old enemy rises. Stronger than before. He will consume all in his path, until dominion over all Altarea is his...

Soon the family's world of carefully guarded royal privilege is swept up in the chaos of revolution and forced exodus. Over the next four years, as she endures the deaths of family members, starvation, and brutal forced labour, Raami clings to the only remaining vestige of childhood - the mythical legends and poems told to her by her father. In a climate of systematic violence where memory is sickness and justification for execution, Raami fights for her improbable survival.

Book excerpt: The evil Duke of Olasko is lord no more—vanquished by his nemesis Tal Hawkins, the Talon of the Silver Hawk. Saved by a mage's intervention from certain death, the once-feared despot has been reduced to an exile's existence, forced to wander the harshest realms of the world he once enslaved. Conclave of Shadows: Book Three Only days ago, Kaspar, the powerful Duke of Olasko, had great armies at his command and was feared by nations. Now, half a world away from home, he is separated from his former seat of power by merciless deserts, forbidding mountains, and vast oceans. The fall of the tyrant is complete, his dark dreams of vengeance overwhelmed by the daily struggle for his very survival. But Kaspar's prodigious skills and cunning provide him the opportunity he seeks, guarding merchant travelers returning to the other side of the world and back to his homeland. Yet there is a larger drama that will entangle the broken dictator. An evil more devastating and deadly than any encountered in Midkemia for centuries seeks entrance to the land—the mystical tool of a dark empire hungry for conquest and destruction—and Kaspar has inadvertently discovered the key. The man responsible for the slaughter of countless men, women, and children must now assume a far stranger and most unlikely role—that of hero—if his world is to survive. For dire peril is advancing daily, and a long-slumbering malevolence is awakening to wreak havoc on the unsuspecting and unprepared. Suddenly, Midkemia's last hope is a disgraced and exiled duke whose history is written in blood, and who now must wield his sword as her champion ... if he so chooses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A fast-paced adventure combined with an engrossing mystery, all set in a unique and original fantasy world. I can't wait to find out what happens next!” —Martha Wells, Hugo Award-winning author on For the Killing of Kings In this sequel to For the Killing of Kings, Howard Andrew Jones returns to the ring-sworn champions of the Altenerai in Upon the Flight of the Queen to continue this thrilling, imaginative and immersive epic fantasy trilogy. While the savage Naor clans prepare to march on the heart of the Allied Realms, Rylin infiltrates the highest of the enemy ranks to learn their secrets and free hundreds of doomed prisoners. His ailing mentor Varama leads the ever-dwindling Altenerai corps in a series of desperate strikes to cripple the Naor occupiers, hoping for a relief force that may not come in time to save what’s left of the city and her charges. Elenai, Kyrkenall, and the kobalin Ortok ride through the storm-wracked Shifting Lands to rekindle an alliance with the ko’aye, the only possible counter to the terrible Naor dragons. Even if they survive the hazardous trek deep through kobalin territory to find the winged lizards, though, the three are unlikely to get a warm reception, for the queen of the five realms refused to aid the ko’aye when their homelands were attacked, and the creatures have long memories. While the Altenerai fight impossible odds to save the realms, their queen delves further and deeper into the magic of the mysterious hearthstones in a frantic attempt to unlock secrets that might just destroy them all. Praised for his skills in drafting modern epic fantasy that engrosses and entertains, Howard Andrew Jones delivers a sequel that expands the amazing world, relationships, and adventure introduced in the first book of this series.
