Oaths of Blood by Logan D. Irons

Oaths of Blood is an action-packed grimdark historical fantasy set during the Crusades, in the vein of Joe Abercrombie, Bernard Cornwell, and John Gwynne.

In 1099, the armies of Christendom march for Jerusalem. Mercenary captain Robert Cutnose finds himself in the belly of a siege tower waiting to storm the walls in a desperate attempt to take the city.

But what they find inside the city is far more terrifying than the arrows and spears that fly their way…

After a savage attack by the moonlight, Cutnose’s lifeblood leaks from his veins, and he is thrust into an immortal war between the Order and their prey they simply call the Hunted. Each desires to own a relic with power far greater than he could ever imagine. With the aid of a secretive party of warriors, he must track down the man who ripped out his throat in the blink of an eye, for if he does not, his future as a human will be short.

As he crawls deeper into the shadows, it is clear, only oaths made in blood survive.

A war-filled journey through the crusades and into the depths of the ancient Noctis Bellum. Filled with legendary characters both barbaric and gray, driven by valor and treachery alike!

“Bloody, brutal, and brilliantly action-packed. Historical fantasy that will sink its fangs into you!” — Andy Peloquin, author of Darkblade

“The characters, the prose, the dialogue and the action all blend perfectly into a heady tale fit for a king’s mead hall. And it’s only just beginning. Well done and five stars.” —Eric Schumacher, bestselling author of God’s Hammer, Hakon’s Saga

“I thought the plot was great. By chapter 2, I was fully invested. By chapter 6 I was engrossed and had to know more right now. The twists and turns it takes you on, plus the well written and beautifully described action/fighting senes – it’s reminiscent of John Gwynne and Joe Abercrombie.” – Stress Reader

The Eye of Nefertiti: A Pharaoh’s Cat Novel by Maria Luisa Lang

About Featured Book: The Eye of Nefertiti: A Pharaoh’s Cat Novel by Maria Luisa Lang

Now a New Yorker, the Pharaoh’s cat–the ancient Egyptian feline with human powers–travels back in time to free Egypt’s legendary Queen Nefertiti from a horrific curse, discovering firsthand why her mummy has never been found and her famous bust is missing one eye.

As in the first Pharaoh’s cat novel, the cat is quick-witted, wisecracking narrator as well as free-spirited, ever-curious protagonist, and the story he tells is an exotic, imaginative, spell-binding tragicomedy. The Eye of Nefertiti also interweaves feline and human, past and present, natural and supernatural. It too contains numerous surprises, twists and turns, intriguing characters, both human and animal, fascinating revelations about ancient Egyptian history and culture. Added to all this is an ingenious use of the Tarot and Italian opera.

The cat is living happily in New York City with the High Priest, Elena, daughter of an Egyptologist, and their infant son, the cat’s beloved Pharaoh reincarnated, when the supernatural gradually intrudes in the form of phantasms, the plot of an Italian opera, a Tarot card reading, and an unexpected summons to present-day Bath Spa disguised as an opportunity for Elena.

She and the little Pharaoh travel conventionally while the cat and the High Priest take the little boat they use for time travel and are diverted to ancient Stonehenge for a brief stop-over. The figure at the center of their encounter with the Druids has been prefigured in the cat’s phantasms, the Italian opera, and the Tarot reading, all his uncanny experiences being in accord with a single design.

Reunited with Elena and the infant Pharaoh in Bath, the cat and the High Priest discover a secret tomb below the Georgian house where they are staying, and are soon impelled to journey to ancient Egypt in the time of Queen Nefertiti to save her from a horrific curse. They become separated as they search for Nefertiti and the cat has several adventures before finding her on his own.

He undertakes an ingenious deception to stay close to her without revealing his identity. Being so close, he falls in love with her. He succeeds in lifting the horrific curse at great cost to himself. Despite his love, he surrenders Nefertiti to history and, mourning his loss, descends into a psychological abyss so deep only the Pharaoh can save him.

The Pharaoh’s Cat by Maria Luisa Lang


About Featured Book: The Pharaoh’s Cat by Maria Luisa Lang

Suddenly talking and walking upright, a stray tomcat in ancient Egypt becomes the young Pharaoh’s intimate and, when accused of his murder, time travels to New York City and learns how to raise him from the dead.

The cat is quick-witted, wisecracking narrator as well as free-spirited, ever-curious protagonist, and the story he tells is an exotic, imaginative, spell-binding tragicomedy. The novel interweaves feline and human, past and present, natural and supernatural. It contains numerous surprises, twists and turns, intriguing characters, both human and animal, fascinating revelations about ancient Egyptian history and culture.

While exploring a looted tomb in ancient Egypt, the cat is kicked in the ass by the Vizier, the Pharaoh’s uncle and the second in power only to him. Able to speak as a result, the cat immediately gives voice to his intelligence and sense of humor and captivates the young Pharaoh, making him laugh for the first time since his parents’ death. The cat becomes the Pharaoh’s constant companion and, at the royal palace and on a tour of Egypt, participates in the festivities, developing an insatiable appetite for good food, wine, and gossip. Gradually, he renews the Pharaoh’s ability to enjoy life and inspires him to become a stronger leader. The bond of selfless love they share will change Egypt’s destiny.

The cat has a good friend in the High Priest of the god Amun-Ra and seeks his help in solving the mystery of his human powers and the supernatural manifestations that plague him. He has a mortal enemy in the cat-kicking Vizier, who hates him for his close relationship with the Pharaoh. The Vizier eventually murders the Pharaoh and accuses the cat, who flees by time-traveling with the High Priest to New York City, where they find an ally in an Egyptologist’s daughter.

In New York, they go to an ancient Egyptian exhibit, end up in Central Park, then at a cathedral, and later retrieve a lost spell to revive the dead. They return to Egypt to revive the Pharaoh, but the spell fails to work till Bastet appears to ask the cat to give his life in return for the Pharaoh’s. He says yes, but Bastet only needed him to agree for the spell to work. The Pharaoh is resurrected, kills the Vizier in battle, then returns to the world above after making the High Priest pharaoh in his place.

The High Priest reigns for seven years with the cat at his side. A rebellion forces them to return to New York City, where they find Elena pregnant with the High Priest’s child. For her, only months have passed. The cat immediately senses that the child she carries is the Pharaoh reincarnated.

Imperius: Ban All The Magic

About Imperius: Ban All The Magic:

Magic will be the kingdom’s downfall.

This was the warning of the seer of the kingdom of Imperius. But the people of the small village of Incendit cannot survive without magic. A paradox is left in the hands of King Perium. A noble, honest king the people would normally consider to be just—until he outlawed magic.

He is challenged by a talented young magic user, Malis, who rebels against the law placed on his people. Blood is shed. His older brother, Malum, departs on a quest to save his brother from being locked up in Imperius’s largest prison, underground, with a life sentence.

There are consequences to certain types of magics, as the wretched Warlock that Malum must befriend for the task can attest to. It is nonetheless the right of the people of Imperius to use it for their survival, especially with the looming threat of war with Lux and Cincta. And some of them will do the unimaginable to get it back.

Shifted by Adrienne Woods

Shifted by Adrienne Woods

Seventeen-year-old Sophie Emerson never imagined her life would take such a magical turn. At Earwyn Academy of Concordia, she discovers she’s a Spirit fae with powers she barely understands. While the idea of being magical is exciting, Sophie quickly learns the reality isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Between the constant headaches triggered by her clairvoyant abilities and the strange visions she experiences, things are starting to get overwhelming.

Sophie’s dreams offer disturbing glimpses of herself surrounded by nine other children, all channeling their powers into her, transforming her into a dangerous monster destined to destroy Concordia. She has no idea what it means, but it’s terrifying, especially when she starts seeing the connections to real-life events.

When three children from her village go missing, Sophie discovers the truth—the Dark Griffin, an ancient and powerful creature, has been abducting children for years, using their powers to create an unstoppable weapon. Sophie realizes that she’s the final piece of the puzzle, the last child needed to complete the Griffin’s ultimate weapon: a being that will have the power to kill the king and wreak havoc on the entire kingdom.

Suddenly, Sophie wakes up locked in a cell with the nine other children, each one playing a part in the Griffin’s deadly plan.

All Lucifer wanted to do was help one hungry little girl learn how to plant seeds.
He really should have known better.
What started as a simple agricultural lesson accidentally creates human civilization—and all its problems. Watch our interdimensional observer’s well-meaning suggestions transform peaceful hunter-gatherers into property-owning, wall-building farmers with a talent for weaponizing every helpful hint.
As paradise transforms into something far more complicated, Lucifer—now eternally exiled on Earth—realizes humans possess an uncanny ability to turn any knowledge into a weapon and any advice into disaster.
“The Beginning of All Problems” reveals how feeding a hungry child results in warfare, social inequality, and transforms Lucifer into the villain of humanity’s oldest stories.
Perfect for fans of Good Omens and anyone who’s wondered why humans can’t have nice things.
