Sylvanus: Book of Alce by R.P. O'Ryan

Sylvanus: Book of Alce (Book 1: Rise of the Demon)

They thought he was the savior.

An ancient prophecy tells of the coming of the Promised One, who would restore peace and harmony to the land in the name of their God, Eyu. When the twins are born, Michael and Lucero, people believe one will be him.

Lucero travels to the otherworld to spread the word of Eyu, where he befriends Dancing Elk, a local native.
When an evil mage meddles, a beast arises, things change, and all belief is called into question. Now, the monster roams, and the fate of all creation is thrust upon Dancing Elk, an unwilling bystander who doesn’t know what to do.

In Rise of the Demon, the trilogy’s first volume, Lucero is plagued by dark impulses during his mission to spread the word of Eyu to the outerworld. There, he encounters shaman-to-be Dancing Elk, a local native who inadvertently becomes entangled in the ancient prophecy.

It is now up to Dancing Elk to stop the creature’s rampage before all creation is destroyed. The only problem….he doesn’t know how.

Jump into the Sylvan saga for an epic adventure you won’t regret.

Magical Makeover by Brenda Trim

Magical Makeover by Brenda Trim

Divorce comes as a relief when you discover your husband is a walking cliche and having an affair with a woman half your age. When life gives you lemons… give yourself a magical makeover!

One day I’m married, living in the triangle, and working as a head nurse at one of the country’s best hospitals.

The next, I’ve shed a hundred and seventy-five pounds of idiot and find myself encountering ghosts, dragons and pixies while taking care of a sick patient.

Losing my sanity didn’t seem like the worst thing to happen since I moved back home with my mom and nana.

But I have to make the best of this mess for the sake of my children. And I refuse to give my ex the satisfaction of knowing he literally drove me crazy.

I didn’t mind rolling with the punches… I just never imagined those hits would come in the form of magic. Witches, shifters, and Fae don’t exist, right?

Sylvanus: Book of Alce by R. P. O'Ryan

An ancient prophecy tells of the coming of the Promised One, who would restore peace and harmony to the land. When the twins, Michael and Lucero, are born, they believe one will be the Promised One.
The two are mandated to travel and spread the word of God, Eyu. Lucero travels to the outerworld, where he befriends Dancing Elk, a young Taloosh native, the next tribal shaman. Meanwhile, Michael remains behind to spread the word in his world.
Corrupted by greed, Sceagga, a powerful monk, follows Lucero. He tricks him into imbibing the dark life force, the grey pacú, corrupting his mind and turning him into a mighty demon, Sceagga’s tool for conquering the land. However, Lucero’s ambitions are bigger. Intent to conquer both worlds, he turns on Sceagga, who escapes the demon and returns to his homeworld. Now Lucero seeks the next powerful source of pacú, Dancing Elk.
Two years have passed, and no word from Lucero. Concerned for his brother, Michael travels to the outerworld seeking Lucero, and now Michael is missing.
As the demon’s rampage continues, the only one who can stop him rests on the shoulders of the young shaman-to-be, Dancing Elk.
So who did they say was the Promised One?

THE ELFKIN JOURNALS: Book2 – STAR SINGERS by JDeVereS

THE ELFKIN JOURNALS: Book2 – STAR SINGERS by JDeVereS

CHAPTER 1: KNIGHTFALL IN THE DARKNESS
“When the war beats cease, and the singing ends – for a second time. Bolts from above will change the tide. A power will fail, and darkness descend. But, a new instrument will ascend through the light and with the song. What was before will be again.”
Final prophecy from “The Book of Recounted Millennium”
…
“This is a bad thing.” Swathed in darkness, Knightfall Graywings perched atop a large rectangular stone watching the activities in a valley far below. Tanned features shaped a grim expression as he considered his options. With a focused effort, he forced himself to relax. Long gray wings softened and draped across his back, assuming the shape of a ground-length cloak. Whenever he shifted position, seeking a better vantage point, the wings fluttered like a cape caught in a gentle breeze.
“Ha! You have a gift for understatement, my king.” Twig Shadowhooks barked out a laugh as he nodded in agreement. “Even this far away, I can smell the stench of burning flesh.”
“They remember nothing about the ancients who built our pillars, yet they try to alter the balance for their own purpose. Once, our ancestors could change the stars. Now we hunt and fight with bows and swords. Little more than animals.” The young king of the Graywings clans knew he must take action soon. Despite his youth, he ruled a large Federation composed of many tribes, including the Shadowhooks, Silverwings, and Smalltooth families. These citizens counted on him to make intelligent decisions. With a casual motion, he pressed back the hood of the chain mail he wore beneath his battle harness, causing the tight weave of his single silver hair braid to drop and sway slightly as he swung his head from side to side in thought. Caught in the light of a bright moon, his hood and swaying braid glittered with an ambient glow. “For generations, we have skirmished with this seemingly immortal king and his vast armies, but now he risks the safety of the pillars to bring a war to us we cannot win.”

Avery’s Ghost by Annie Dewell

Avery’s Ghost by Annie Dewell

Seventeen-year-old Evelyn dreams of a career in botany, while acting as an uneasy intermediary for her hapless father and distant mother. When she’s accidentally poisoned during a fortune telling, her mother insists her only hope for an antidote is to sign the curious contract of Hart’s Traveling Circus— the same place her brother, Avery, vanished before her birth.

When her father faces financial ruin, Evelyn offers to write newspaper articles from inside the circus. As she investigates, she’s consumed by questions no carnie will answer. Why do the performers lie about their uncanny performances? What caused the “hideous” scars of Essence, the sideshow freak who draws portraits so vivid they nearly leap from the page?

Terrified into attempting escape by tempestuous Manager Hart, Evelyn is stopped by paralyzing pain. Undeterred, she’ll cajole and blackmail her way to the truth behind the circus mysteries and her brother’s disappearance— truths that uncover long buried secrets and throw her into the crossfire of a plot with explosive consequences.

Featuring illustrations in the style of vintage circus art, Avery’s Ghost throws readers into a macabre world of secrets and magic, set against the evocative backdrop of an Edwardian circus.

Avery’s Ghost will be discounted from a regular price of 0.99 to 2.99 from December 17-22.

Sisterhood by Carol Ann Moore

About Sisterhood by Carol Ann Moore:

Sisterhood is an urban fantasy mixed with magical realism and a strong feminist twist.
It is set in the modern day, with a few chapters of flashback regarding the main protagonist as she tells her story to another character. The story revolves around seven women, all descended from a coven in the 14th century in Italy. It tells of their revenge for the misogyny that they’ve experienced and the ultimate final spell that is cast to rectify the world’s wrongs towards women. The story has a circular narrative as it ends in Italy also.

Seven women. One will make amends. Six will seek revenge.

“The bag sat on a display shelf in the main window of the second-hand shop, waiting for her to come. Captivatingly black, if you looked close enough you could see it almost pulsing with a keen breath…patiently watching, waiting.
Aella Saluagius stood back to admire her handiwork, the glamour was in place and ready, all that was needed now was some good fortune and the pull of the waxing moon.”

She had found them all again. The question was could she help them and in return, would they rise to the ultimate challenge? Misogyny comes in many forms, but then so does vengeance. Seven women’s stories, all different but achingly familiar. Which one will resonate with you?
Take a magical journey of Sisterhood, together we are unstoppable.
