Your Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Bargains for January 4, 2019

Dark, gritty, and occasionally hilarious. A shopkeeper with one small problem; he’s a necromancer. Read the first three novels that launched the Vesik urban fantasy series.

My name is Damian Valdis Vesik. I am a necromancer, an ability feared and hated as much as the powers my master and I set ourselves against. We’ve vanquished many evils, but now something is releasing an old darkness, forcing us to hunt an enemy beyond anything I’ve faced before. I was already busy enough with vampires, fairies, witches, Watchers, weddings, and … damn, I need a vacation.

Deep within the remnants of the United States, Lyla Richards oversees a camp of two hundred survivors. In a world where living is an everyday struggle and only through banding together can people survive, the arrival of the Unwelcome only made her job harder.

Riley Quinn and Miles Jones have been raised by Lyla for the last five years. They are also one of the cursed: the children between the ages of thirteen and eighteen whom the Unwelcome kill on sight. No questions, no pleas, just death.

Time is running out for all of them. Humanity’s very existence is on the line. And Lyla and her family will lead the fight that will ensure its future . . . or its annihilation.

Destroyer’s Blood – is book one in the Adventures of Devcalion. Our hero, Dev and his faithful and wisecracking companion ‘Tray (short for Betrayer) are happiest when they are free, far away from the politics and petty squabbles of his immortal family. Our story begins with the two of them, five thousand feet up the side of Half-Dome – free climbing the cliff face to try and reach the top to see a spectacular sunset – when their solitary adventure is rudely interrupted by a messenger from Olympus. The conclusion of that message draws them, unwilling, back into a confrontation with an ancient foe, all because of Dev’s relationship to his Titan father – his ‘blood’…
Dev shook his head, spitting out dust and rock chips. The last rays of the setting sun stained the ground crimson. “Betrayer,” he murmured, ears still ringing from the terrific explosion, “we have a problem.”
