About Cobweb Bride (Cobweb Bride Trilogy Book 1) by Vera Nazarian
Many are called… She alone can save the world and become Death’s bride.
COBWEB BRIDE (Cobweb Bride Trilogy, Book One) is a history-flavored fantasy novel with romantic elements of the Persephone myth, about Death’s ultimatum to the world.
What if you killed someone and then fell in love with them?
In an alternate Renaissance world, somewhere in an imaginary “pocket” of Europe called the Kingdom of Lethe, Death comes, in the form of a grim Spaniard, to claim his Bride. Until she is found, in a single time-stopping moment all dying stops. There is no relief for the mortally wounded and the terminally ill….
Covered in white cobwebs of a thousand snow spiders she lies in the darkness… Her skin is cold as snow… Her eyes, frozen… Her gaze, fiercely alive…
While kings and emperors send expeditions to search for a suitable Bride for Death, armies of the undead wage an endless war… A black knight roams the forest at the command of his undead father… Spies and political treacheries abound at the imperial Silver Court…. Murdered lovers find themselves locked in the realm of the living…
Look closer — through the cobweb filaments of her hair and along each strand shine stars…
And one small village girl, Percy — an unwanted, ungainly middle daughter — is faced with the responsibility of granting her dying grandmother the desperate release she needs.
As a result, Percy joins the crowds of other young women of the land in a desperate quest to Death’s own mysterious holding in the deepest forests of the North…
And everyone is trying to stop her.
“… Nazarian writes clean and true prose …” — Publishers Weekly
“Set in an alternate Renaissance Europe, this series opener by Russian-born Nazarian combines the stylistic manner of a folktale with the trappings of an epic fantasy, one driven by compassion rather than heroics. . . . Fans of period fantasy and those who like stories that feel like fairy tales should appreciate this skillful novel by the twice Nebula Award-nominated author of Dreams of the Compass Rose and The Duke in His Castle.”
–Library Journal
“I really enjoyed the rich, complex and highly unusual storytelling in the Cobweb Bride.
Nazarian does an excellent job of painting the Renaissance world of her alternate reality and bringing in interesting twists of fantasy to the story. . . . Everything about this story that was fresh and new. I loved the premise it was built on and I loved the story itself. The characters are rich, multi-dimensional, and so easy to get to know and identify with. I am really looking forward to reading the next book in the trilogy when it comes out and in finding out more about what happens to the characters that still have a mission to carry out and how the story eventually resolves by the end of the trilogy. I recommend this book to readers of YA, lovers of fantasy, alternate-history, and alternate-reality. It was a terrific read.”
–Tracy M. Riva, Midwest Book Review
“Cobweb Bride is astonishing and captivating; a lush fantasy of imagery and magical realism. The visuals are illustrated by the author’s lyrical and metaphoric writing . . . an expansive collage of characters immersed in a plot as rich and decadent as a Verdi opera. . . . The vibrancy of Ms. Nazarian’s writing is sheer kaleidoscopic visualization. The folkloric-fable twists and turns recount shavings from the mythos of Hades and Persephone without boring you with a full-blown serving of predictability. The romance is as subtle as it is grim, with glimmers of hope taking us further to our doom–perhaps. . . . The overall tone is introspective, hauntingly quiet with elements of horror-fantasy that are as provocative as the works of Tanith Lee and Storm Constantine.”
–Patrice, Romantic Historical Reviews, a 5-Star Top Pick

About Falls of Redemption by Justin Sloan
In a land where warriors can become gods, one man is torn from his love and forced to fight as a slave.
Readers are calling the Falls of Redemption trilogy “riveting” and “wonderfully written” in what they have termed, “part ancient Greek adventure, part military basic training story, and part love triangle.”
When his brother vanishes, Narcel is next in line to rule his city, but only wants a simple life with the girl he loves.
Little does he know, the heavens have greater plans for him. He’s taken from his village and forced to fight for a neighboring clan, but when war breaks out in the land of Braze, he must choose sides between the family he knew as a boy and the brothers in arms he’s formed as a man.
Forced to become the warrior he never wanted to be, torn from everything he thought he knew about life, Narcel builds the courage to set things right. But his actions propel him and his lands into an inescapable path toward war and destruction.
This omnibus edition contains almost 700 pages of epic military fantasy adventure, political backstabbing, and warfare. It includes Land of Gods, Retribution Calls, and Tears of Devotion.

About Arrndgros by Pyotr Andreyev
Orcs. Savage and brutal. Ferocious in battle. Mindless monsters to be feared—or better yet, obliterated—by those who meet them.
The truth, as always, is more complex. Violent though orcish culture is, the tribes have their own rich culture, spiritual life, and traditions. Some inhabit the highlands and mountains. Others live a hunter-gatherer existence in thick forestlands, while still others sail the seas, raiding for what they need.
Different though their tribes may be, orcs share many attributes. Theirs are warrior cultures, where strength, bravery, and skill in battle are prized. And all share a feeling known only to orcs preparing for battle—the indefinable emotion known as arrndgros.
Over the course of a year, some will undergo rites of manhood. Others will seek to reclaim land lost to an old enemy. Tribes will gather. Wars will erupt, sweep over the land, and subside. And the spirit of arrndgros will fill the hearts of warriors—for glory, death, or both.
Basing Arrndgros on ancient warrior societies, author Pyotr Andreyev reveals the rich cultural lives of fantasy’s most reviled monsters. Discover orcs as you’ve never seen them—proud, loyal, courageous, and, yes, brutal. Discover the warrior’s emotion. Discover arrndgros.

About Awakening: Standard Edition by Kenny Michaels
Swords, Sorcery, and…Small-Arms?
An American soldier is chosen to defend another realm.
Lieutenant David Kennisham was patrolling the mountains of Afghanistan, trying to complete his mission and live long enough to return to the United States, until fate intervened. Now he is a stranger in a strange land, and he is forced to rely on two women that he would have much rather avoided. One is the favored acolyte of the God of Love, and also a raging narcissist. The other is a breathtakingly beautiful, part-dragon, sorceress with anger issues. Hoping to return home, he grudgingly allows the pair to lead him to Eros, God of Love and patron deity of this new realm. Unfortunately, the path to get there is far more exciting, and dangerous, than a society based on ‘love’ should be. In a world of swords and sorcery, will his training and US Army issued weaponry help level the battlefield?

About Telemachus by Peter Gray
This is a love story told through the medium of a colony of migrating birds. But it’s more than that. It looks at the question of ‘what is love?’, what love means to different people and in different circumstances. It questions the very essence of our society, of control, the influences of law and religion. But it’s written in a very light and readable way that has caused one reviewer to describe it as a ‘beautiful yet complex anthropomorphic tale’.
It will be free on Amazon from August 1st to August 5th.
