Sylvanus: Rise of the Demon by R.P. O'Ryan

In the gripping fantasy novel “Sylvanus: Rise of the Demon,” an ancient prophecy foretells the arrival of the Promised One, destined to bring peace and restore harmony to the land. When twins are born, people believe one is the chosen savior.
However, when one of the twins journeys to our world as a missionary and befriends Dancing Elk, a native of the land, their lives take an unexpected turn.
An evil mage interferes, transforming the presumed chosen one, thus unleashing a malevolent beast that challenges the validity of the prophecy.
Now, a powerful demon wreaks havoc, obliterating all who oppose him. As fate draws Dancing Elk into the demon’s plans, he becomes an unwilling hero tasked with rescuing creation from its supposed savior.
But there’s a catch: Dancing Elk must find a way to contain the demon, and he has no idea how to accomplish such a daunting task. In this thrilling tale of destiny and self-discovery, Dancing Elk must rise to the challenge or risk the annihilation of everything he holds dear.

The Last Lumenian

About The Last Lumenian:

MOST PRINCESSES NEED SAVING. THIS ONE WILL SAVE YOU.
She is a rebel. Lilla is fighting for the refugees’s freedom from oppression. The king, her father, lost touch with reality ever since Lilla’s mother died. Now everyone else is paying the price.

The arrival of Callum, a powerful Teryn general, complicates Lilla’s life. His presence leads to conflicted feelings and friction with Arrov, a handsome pilot and fellow rebel.

Her life is not what she imagined it to be. Not by far. Meddling gods, love interests and sudden magical abilities have no room in Lilla’s world, but that has become her new reality. No matter how hard she pushes them away, it’s too late. They all seek to control her anyway.

Now the Era War between two ruling archgods forces Lilla to act: accept who she really is magic and all; find true love; fulfill her destiny by defeating the Archgod of Chaos and Destruction before He finds her. The Last Lumenian.

FALLING STARS

About FALLING STARS:

Nine-year-old Tommy Lucas needs a bone marrow transplant to survive. But he’s convinced his disease is a curse on his bloodline, that he’s a vampire. His mother’s an oncologist, but Tommy believes only magic can cure him—or the same synthetic blood substitute developed for urban legend Viscount Claudius Fallon.

Tommy is stoked when he discovers a five-part series about Fallon in an online pulp fiction magazine called Philly’s Argosy. Descended from a ruling class of vampires in Cardiff, legend has it that Fallon traveled to Eureka Springs, Arkansas seeking a cure for his own leukemia during WWII.

Tommy’s quest leads him to befriend local artist and gallery owner Callan Masters, who struggles with his growing affection for Tommy’s mom, June—for he is Fallon, cured in 1939 at the Norman G. Baker Cure-for-Cancer Hospital.

Dedicated to living off-grid, Callan must decide whether he will take the risk involved in helping Tommy or falling in love with June. His bite is no longer capable of turning anyone—or so he thinks.

The Epsilon Account, Book One of the Golden Harvest by Joni Parker

Thousands of years ago, Eledon was created for the Elves by their Mentors when they were forced to leave Earth. At least, that’s how the legend goes. In return, the Elves must pay them a tribute in gold, known as the Golden Harvest, every four thousand years. The Elfin Council of Elders appoints Lady Alexin (Alex) Dumwalt, the Keeper of the Keys, to manage the next payment, due 244 years from now. That is, until the Mentors show up unexpectedly and demand immediate payment of the Epsilon Account. Since the Harvest has never been called that, Alex suspects foul play and uncovers a sinister plot by the Star Elves, a rival clan from the Constellations, who want to steal the gold. To make matters worse, they’re willing to do anything to succeed to include murder. Can Alex stop them and save the Elfin gold before it’s too late?
