Fantasy
Daughter of Orpheus by H.C. Southwark
When she saw the dead bodies, she knew her fate...
Isme made a single mistake.
She lived secretly on an island with her father, preparing for the end of the world. An apocalypse was a big deal, of course, but it had happened before: everyone knew that the gods had destroyed and rebuilt the world several times...
So when she sang to the sea, it was just a momentary flash of teenage rebellion. Hardly anything to be concerned about.
But now she has blood on her hands.
Driven by blood guilt, Isme must leave the safety of her island and travel to the other side of Greece. Only the famed Oracle of Delphi can tell her how to escape the fate of a murderer.
But highway robbers are the least of Isme's worries. She lives in a world of dangerous spirits and quarrelsome gods, who are more likely to carry her off than help her... and worst of all is the strange invisible monster that stalks her every move...
Isme knows she is risking everything to save herself.
And time is running out.
Wedding of the Torn Rose by Brian Mendonca
A merchant who abandoned his birthright, a princess with a dark secret, and an encounter destined to change their lives forever…
Down on his luck, Kaine Khalia was gathering mushrooms in the forest to sell in the nearby capital. A young woman’s screams were the last thing he expected to find. Dashing to her rescue, Kaine finds himself face to face with a monster that should not even exist, fighting for his life as well as hers.
His world only gets crazier from there. Kaine returns with Princess Lydia to her father’s castle, where he discovers himself in the king’s good graces. Confused and leery by a reward beyond gold, Kaine reluctantly agrees to remain and help with Lydia’s younger siblings. Life could not have thrown him more.
Plunged into a world of magical intrigue, unrest, and political maneuvering, each new event leaves Kaine feeling out of place and, worse, dangerously exposed to a growing threat. The Darian Kingdom stands at the crossroads. Lydia’s upcoming wedding to the prince of the Throatian Kingdom will soon become the defining moment in Kaine’s life.
With secrets revealed, and the perils of war looming on the horizon, it is going to take every ounce of loyalty, imagination, and willpower for Kaine to survive, and, if he is fortunate, stop the fast approaching storm from burning his world to the ground.
Journey with Kaine as he attempts to prevent a war and save a kingdom in the first volume of the Symphony of Crowns and Gods series.
Wedding of the Torn Rose is a fast-paced fantasy adventure with mystery, action, and magic.
