The Hunter's Rede (Chronicles of Ealiron Book 1) by F.T Mckinstry Only wizards and hunters know the true meaning of darkness. Lorth of Ostarin is a hunter of men. Lawless, solitary and obscure, he is trained in magic and its inherent order. This uneasy combination of pitilessness and structure has made him the highest paid assassin in the land. It is also about to throw his life into chaos. The trouble begins when Lorth returns home from a long absence to find his old haunts compromised by a cruel, upstart warlord who has invaded the realm and pushed it to the brink of war. Lorth's cavalier attempt to elude a political sandpit quickly deteriorates into a series of skirmishes that he negotiates with a sword and a reckless penchant for using magic against the rules. He flees with a price on his head; but no angry warlords, wizards, foreign aristocrats or spooky apparitions can rattle him from the dark stability of his professionâuntil he is captured and condemned to execution by a formidable wizard who serves the old powers. In his quest to prove his innocence and loyalty to the realm, Lorth discovers the value of his conflict between war and wizardry. But his quest turns bloody when love for a priestess and a will to avenge his homeland drives him to infiltrate an enemy occupation bent on domination and a blatant disregard for the forces of magic. This brings him to his greatest test, where he must surrender to the darkness of his nature to become a hunter unlike anything he has ever known. |

So when her arranged marriage is scheduled decades sooner than she had hoped, Adrianna heeds the call. That doesn't mean that life outside her wedding stops though. Despite Adrianna trying to put aside her aspirations of being a hero, she is called on by the Nine in Ringwall to help save the free city and the Archipelago itself from the greatest threat it's ever faced: a vampire using the reanimated skeletons to totally undercut the local economy. |

Water Music by Christopher Botkin Imagine you are Monwyrt. You were born in the mountain caves of a rigidly communal culture, selected at birth to be a hunter. Without any tribal concept of love or family, you were raised outside on the slopes in the hunters' school, while others were raised in the caves, to become miners or craftsmen. Like the legendary hunter Smaelaer before you, your natural talents make you the most successful hunter of the tribe. You run further, you hunt longer, you always find game -- or it finds you. You always surpass your quota, much to the envy of the other hunters. One day, your talents draw the attention of the lore-master. She sends you on an errand far from the caves -- so far other hunters dare not go -- to a forbidden region of myth and mystery. She asks only that you report to her what you find there. It seems a pointless journey -- until myths and mysteries become real, and leave you in doubt of your true purpose. They called Smaelaer insane, and he was condemned for it. But if Smaelaer was insane, then, perhaps, so are you. Thus begins your quest to discover who you really are, and why the voice inside your head echoes, âa race of destiny.â "Water Music" is the epic story of Monwyrt's quest. The saga spans cultures and generations, civilizations and vast eras, even life and death. Is it real, or is it a dream? You -- that is, Monwyrt -- can be forgiven for suspecting it is a dream. Because it just might be. Enjoy your stay, and welcome back. |

A plague of ruin Book One: Son of Two Bloods by Daniel T Hylton For generations, the world of humans has suffered war, death, and devastation, unleashed upon the earth by the strange and mysterious race of darkings. Powerful and terrible; no one can stand against them. Those that try and do so, die. Many believe that the masked fiends serve someone even more powerful who dwells in the far east of the world, a god, perhaps, or a mighty sorcerer. Into this troubled world, Brenyn is born. An unusual boy, he came into the world possessed of magic powers that he does not understand and cannot control. Brenyn's father was human, and his mother, who died at the moment of his birth, was, some believe, of the race of Sylvans, a magical folk. But how can this be? Long ago, the gods decreed that humans and Sylvans, should they mate, could not conceive a child, for they feared that a union of the two Great Gifts - human will and Sylvan magic - would produce someone, either male or female, who would be different, powerful, like unto the gods themselves - someone... like Brenyn. |
