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.  

The Uprising (Stonecrusher Legacy Book 1)

by David K. MacDowell


They said Stonecrusher casters lost their magic.

They're about to find out how wrong they are.

It's been decades since bloodthirsty elves invaded the dwarven stronghold of Clan Stonecrusher and slaughtered all but twenty-eight females and two baby boys.

Waldorf, Mallick, and the other surviving Stonecrusher dwarves were rescued and offered refuge by their rivals, Clan Brackenbuell.

But their salvation came at a heavy price.

After decades of indentured servitude, Waldorf and Mallick discover the truth.

Chief Oghark speaks of dwarven honor and tradition while demeaning the sacred teachings of Alghar the All-Father. A narcissist with a brutal temper, Oghark won't abide anyone above him.

Not even his god.

When Waldorf stands as the champion of his people, a violent chain of events unfolds.

His act of bravery exposes the lies and manipulations woven by the Brackenbuell Elite, and the consequences threaten the lives of everyone Waldorf holds dear.

One act of courage led Waldorf's destiny to reveal itself. With the aid of allies, enemies, and a mysterious prisoner, he and Mallick must follow the path set decades before to its conclusion or die in the attempt.

Can the dwarven duo restore their peoples’ freedom? Or will greed and pride be stronger than the hand of fate?

Chelby Duncan never knew who her parents were, or why they gave her up.

Knowing when people belong together is what she's best at doing, but her success at fixing people up isn’t exactly career-worthy. Chelby’s foster father is a retired general who is running for Senate, so joining the army is the natural direction for her to take when she turns eighteen.

Her panic leads her to an encounter with Dr. Gould, who gives her his card and tells her that the Paranormal Mercenary Corps can help her.

Chelby finds it hard to believe any of this is happening until she returns home and armed men from the mysterious Sector Nine show up to take her away.

On the run for her life, Chelby calls Dr. Gould as a last resort.

The Director of the Paranormal Military Corps takes her to their headquarters in the Colorado Mountains, where she meets other supernaturals and learns about the Fae powers that were suppressed when she was young.

Emergent powers she can’t control, a whole new world to fit into, and a mentor who’s determined to help her discover her true potential.

Between training and forging bonds with her new teammates, Chelby has her work cut out for her. It’s enough to put the threat she escaped to the back of her mind…for now.

by M. J. Finn


When a routine flight takes an unexpected turn, TJ O'Connell finds himself plunged into a perilous game of corrupt politicians, and the ominous shadows cast by the Chicago mob.

In the midst of economic hardship, TJ takes on what seems like a straightforward job—flying someone to the state capital for a quick $100. Little does he know, this seemingly innocent task will propel him into a treacherous web of mystery involving murder and ruthless mobsters.

As the police struggle to untangle the threads of guilt and innocence, TJ is left to navigate the dangerous labyrinth alone. With each twist and turn, he discovers a city veiled in shadows, where trust is a scarce commodity, even within the ranks of law enforcement.

Determined to solve the case and clear his name, TJ faces a stark choice—run and risk the wrath of those who hold the truth, or confront the danger head-on.

M.J. Finn skillfully weaves a tale of suspense, danger, and intrigue against the backdrop of a bygone era, where the roaring engines of biplanes and the echoes of corruption create a landscape as turbulent as the times.

Shutter (A Rita Todacheene Novel Book 1)

by Ramona Emerson


Longlisted for the National Book Award

This blood-chilling debut set in New Mexico’s Navajo Nation is equal parts gripping crime thriller, supernatural horror, and poignant portrayal of coming of age on the reservation.


"A haunting thriller, written with exquisite suspense . . . This is a story that won't let you go long after you finish, and you won't want it to end even as you can't stop reading to find out how it does."
—Tommy Orange, author of There There

Rita Todacheene is a forensic photographer working for the Albuquerque police force. Her excellent photography skills have cracked many cases—she is almost supernaturally good at capturing details. In fact, Rita has been hiding a secret: she sees the ghosts of crime victims who point her toward the clues that other investigators overlook. 

As a lone portal back to the living for traumatized spirits, Rita is terrorized by nagging ghosts who won’t let her sleep and who sabotage her personal life. Her taboo and psychologically harrowing ability was what drove her away from the Navajo reservation, where she was raised by her grandmother. It has isolated her from friends and gotten her in trouble with the law.

And now it might be what gets her killed.

When Rita is sent to photograph the scene of a supposed suicide on a highway overpass, the furious, discombobulated ghost of the victim—who insists she was murdered—latches onto Rita, forcing her on a quest for revenge against her killers, and Rita finds herself in the crosshairs of one of Albuquerque’s most dangerous cartels. Written in sparkling, gruesome prose, 
Shutter is an explosive debut from one of crime fiction's most powerful new voices.

The Night Raven (Crow Investigations Book 1)

by Sarah Painter


Meet Lydia Crow...

Lydia has always known she has no power, especially next to her infamous and more-than-slightly dodgy family. Which is why she carved her own life as a private investigator far away from London.

When a professional blunder forces her home, the head of the family calls in a favour, and Lydia finds herself investigating the disappearance of her cousin, Maddie.

Soon, Lydia is neck-deep in problems: her new flatmate is a homicidal ghost, the intriguing, but forbidden, DCI Fleet is acting in a distinctly unprofessional manner, and tensions between the old magical families are rising.

The Crows used to rule the roost and rumours claim they are still the strongest.
The Silvers have a facility for lying and they run the finest law firm in London.
The Pearl family were costermongers and everybody knows that a Pearlie can sell feathers to a bird.
The Fox family... Well. The less said about the Fox family the better.

For seventy-five years, a truce between the four families has held strong, but could the disappearance of Maddie Crow be the thing to break it?

The Night Raven is the first book in Crow Investigations, an exciting paranormal mystery series from bestselling author of magical fiction, Sarah Painter.

'I'm a huge fan!' Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse novels

'My favourite new urban fantasy series, clever and twisty and deliciously magical, with a shivery sense of wonder that feels utterly grounded in its London setting. Perfect for fans of Ben Aaronovitch, Genevieve Cogman or Robert Galbraith!'
Stephanie Burgis, author of Snowspelled and Masks and Shadows
