Your Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Bargains for July 8, 2019

Who will break the curse and who will wear the crown?

These fourteen action-packed stories will lead you through worlds teeming with the supernatural. In these captivating tales, stalwart heroes and headstrong heroines walk treacherous lands haunted by ancient curses, wicked shadows, dazzling power, and great evil.

Seek refuge among the cursed or bow to the monarchy. Battle hell on earth with powerful witches and sail dangerous seas with pirates. Journey beside the gods, dance with the vampires, and be careful what you wish for when you meet the djinn. But no matter what, always remember that magic abounds, and nothing is as it seems.

Be prepared to lose some sleep for just one more page, because fans of Sarah J. Maas, Patricia Briggs, and Charlaine Harris won’t want to leave these tales of fangs and fantasy behind.

An 80-ton mech crewed by criminals freed from prison. Cannon fodder. Thieves, murderers, and enemies of peace.

When a two-hundred year-old relic is called back to service, the crew breathes new life into the old mech. War machines don’t move without a human at the helm. They don’t fire without someone pulling the trigger. They fight, because the humans within fight.

What they do today affects the galaxy tomorrow.

Taking the beast underground, the soldiers find the enemy, in numbers far greater than what they were told. Knee deep in the war, the crew gives the old mech new vigor for one last chance at glory.

Victory or death!

Dara Ruminor is a competitive duelist about to take the kingdom of Vertigon by storm. In a world where swords are used for sport and athletes live like kings as long as the crowds love them, all she needs is a wealthy patron to help her achieve dueling glory.

Instead, she gets Prince Siv, the heir to the throne.

She’s supposed to train with him, but it isn’t as easy as it seems. Handsome, charming, and utterly infuriating, he refuses to take the sport—or her—seriously.

But Prince Siv might not be learning the sword just for fun. As threats emerge from the shadows, with the careless prince as their target, Dara will have to raise her sword to protect him—but even her skill might not be enough to keep them both alive.

Two hundred years after the war, magic use is regulated, monitored, and limited to the select few who win the masochistic Gauntlet and are given ‘The Power of the Eternals’ and sent to Imdalind Academy for training.

Those royal bastards won’t know what hit them.
