Essie would do anything for her kingdom…even marry an elf prince she just met that morning.

The human kingdom of Escarland and the elven kingdom of Tarenhiel have existed in an uneasy peace after their last wars ended with both kings dead. As tensions rise once again, desperate diplomacy might be the only way to avert war. If only negotiations between elves and humans were that simple.

When a diplomatic meeting goes horribly wrong, Essie, a human princess, finds herself married to the elf prince and warrior Laesornysh. Fitting in to the serene, quiet elf culture might be a little difficult for this talkative princess, but she’s determined to make it work.

The Stonegate Sword

About The Stonegate Sword:

This is the story of Donald, who becomes swept up in a battle between good and evil taking place long in the future in post-apocalyptic North America. Donald is flawed, beginning as a keeper of history, but is forced out into the world. He makes mistakes, causes tragedy for those he loves, but he never gives up. It is a tale of violence, love, faith, and redemption in a culture resembling the medieval past. It is an epic fantasy, but in a world much like ours. There is no magic nor fantastic monsters. But there is courage, evil, honor, and the chance to spend one’s life in a noble cause. Donald must find out whether he is worthy of the quest to save his kidnapped Rachel, who was captured due to his own blunder. The False Prophet’s armies are on the move, filled with hatred for the cities and towns of the rugged mountains and the plains to the East. Is Donald to become yet another victim, or is he, just possibly, the deliverer promised in prophecy? How could he make a difference in a war to shape the future of a continent? How could he find one small captive in a wilderness teeming with enemies?
A wonderfully told story of character, faith, and military action set in the future…which seems like the past! Harry James Fox scores with a unique story that blends the past with an apocalyptic future to produce an adventure of character, faith, and military action. Book is well written, and the author shows his command of the English language well. It also has an obvious Christian influence, in a way that is refreshing but not heavy-handed. It is obvious the author researched heavily into cavalry warfare from Medieval times, and the book “feels” very real. It is not a short read, but is worth the effort and sets up well for a sequel.

War of the Staffs (Book One) by Steve Stephenson

War of the Staffs (Book One) by Steve Stephenson

War of the staffs takes place on a world called Muiria, where a powerful vampire wizard named Taza is brought through the void, space between the planets, by a vengeful goddess named Adois.
Taza slowly convinces the Illanni, a race of dark elves, to take on the cloak of vampirism.
Nearly two thousand years pass before the scheming wizard makes his move. But his careful planning is jeopardized when Prince Tarquin is born to fulfill a prophecy and confront the evilest creature Muiria has ever known. The Prince, however, cannot succeed alone, and when Morganna, an Illanni noble woman, threatens Taza’s plans by starting an underground movement against him, she strikes her severest blow when she saves Tarquin’s life.
He is also championed by the wizard Celedant, and the young man is sent to the dwarvan army to learn combat skills. Then the wizard begins his search for the Staff of Adaman – the only object capable of defeating Taza.
Tarquin and Celedant’s epic journey spans the continent where they face not only a vampire wizard, but orcs, demons, liches and other monstrosities. War of the Staffs begins the search for the first of two pieces of ancient staff as Taza’s assassins hunt the Prince to thwart the prophecy. Tarquin, however, is not the only target. Celedant must confront not only assassins, but powerful and dangerous creatures that Taza brings through the void to destroy the wizard as well as the growing resistance among the dwarves and Wood Elves.
By the end of the epic tail Celedant collects a piece of the Staff of Adaman, while Tarquin transforms from teenage boy to a commanding officer.

Verdunmull: Book 1: The Ikalreev Prophecies by Jared A. Zakarian

About Verdunmull: Book 1: The Ikalreev Prophecies by Jared A. Zakarian:

Delve into this new epic fantasy series as it begins in a magical world where elves, dwarves, dragons, and sorcerers co-exist in a tenuous peace. A shroud will be lifted before your eyes as angels fall from Heaven and evil creatures rise from the deep dark. The inhabitants of Verdunmull might not be prepared for what comes . . . as the righteous angel, Razbijen, falls from grace and the immortals break the ethereal veil, disturbing the balance.

The Ikalreev Prophecies were a warning.

A great cataclysm was approaching, and the visions seen by the Ikalreev brought nightmares of monsters and demons from the deep dark as they stepped onto Verdunmull and the torments of their realm followed in their wake. The Ikalreev saw angels descending from Heaven with blades of holy flame and skin like lightning. The immortals were at war . . . and the races of Verdunmull would stand as witness.

Or so the old scripts say, but are they true? Will the prophecies indeed come to pass or are they simply fables from an old race that disappeared without a trace?

Razbijen has fallen, and his memories lost. The fallen angel walks among the mortals without knowledge of his past. Will he remember in time to stop what comes, before it is too late?

La Viña De Dios (The Godvine) by Esteban Luis Soto

About La Viña De Dios (The Godvine) by Esteban Luis Soto:

Valentina del Viento isn’t quite sure if her inherited gifts are a blessing or a curse. The protection of La Viña De Dios, however, relies heavily on her ability to foreshadow and command the winds. When a handsome young man starts showing up in Valentina’s visions, she knows she must find him, no matter how dangerous the quest may be or how long it may take.

Newly famous artist, Alex De La Vega, is proud of his new-found success and has only one thing on his mind—complete his next highly anticipated painting. But at night, in the quiet of his fame, when his muse is at rest, a faceless woman haunts his dreams, calling out to him. Intrigued as he is by this mysterious woman, Alex knows he must channel all his focus into finishing his art.

To do just that, he travels to Taos, New Mexico. And there, at the luxurious, sprawling hacienda, he discovers something far more significant and valuable. Something relentlessly sought after by a treacherous, malevolent force that will stop at nothing to obtain it: The Divine Liquid—an inimitable elixir with magical, all-healing, life-extending properties. Alex could not have known the power and significance of his find.

Or of the trouble it would bring.

Meanwhile, having used The Divine Liquid, Valentina has traveled one hundred determined years to find the man in her visions. According to the whispers of the wind, he’s the man she’s destined to be with. If only Valentina’s gifts had warned her of the perilous black shadow that would follow her into her true love’s life, she would not have traveled so long and so far to find him.

Time, religion, love, culture, evil and even the paranormal all collide in this fascinating, epic tale of Magical Realism set in the enchanting, magical land that is Northern New Mexico.
