Your Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Bargains for June 6, 2025

On the march, around the campfire, and in the taverns, they tell incredible stories about Tarmun Vykers, the Reaper – how he’s never been cut in battle, how he once defeated hundreds of men by himself, how he exterminated an entire people over an insult. These stories make Vykers seem like a god, but he is a man, an arrogant, ruthless and bloodthirsty man. For all that, he may be the only thing standing between the human race and utter annihilation at the hands of the mad wizard who calls himself the End-of-All-Things. Against this backdrop, smaller, lesser folks struggle to fulfill their own destinies, folks like Aoife, burdened with a secret so dark she is driven to do the unimaginable and seek an alliance with fey powers no mortal has ever encountered.

REDLIN OF THE WOLVES
VANGUARD, LEGEND, ASSASSIN, REAPER
Listen to my story:
I wasn’t always the monster they see me as. Half of the songs they sing are stories of my grandeur. The other half are tales of my misdeeds.
The sad truth is that they’re all true.
So, listen to my tale and learn why it all happened. Learn the reason for the war, the reason for all the death.
Listen to my tale and listen well. I won’t be alive long enough to tell it again.

A moody, banter-laced, violent, and poetic framed story – Z.B. Steele presents Whispers of the Storm, book one of Song of the Damned.

In Aidan’s world, magic means power.

Indebted to a cruel duke, Aidan and his older brother make ends meet by tending sheep out in the country. It’s a bit boring, and the sheep can get really stinky, but Aidan wouldn’t have it any other way. His brother is the only family he has left.

When his brother is taken, Aidan refuses to sit by and do nothing. He enrolls in Mountainfall Academy to become a powerful Mage or Adventurer.

From the moment he enters the academy, it’s clear the deck is stacked against him. He’s an outcast with little knowledge of magic and a rival who’ll stop at nothing to get him expelled. With the help of some new friends, he might survive his first year, but only if he can learn to control his unique magic.

If you love magic academy stories with found families, mythical creatures, and rich worldbuilding, Mountainfall Academy is for you.

Two factions at war. A blinding light. A new terrifying enemy.

In a world fractured by endless war and multiple factions, Earth is a battleground, torn apart by the brutal conflict between two powerful factions—the Coalition Forces and the United Alliance. A blinding light changes everything. It takes out a space station, leaving behind nothing but wreckage. Meanwhile, soldiers from both sides are killed in their tracks, their bodies falling to an unseen force.

As both factions scramble to understand the true nature of the threat, they realize one terrifying truth—this is no ordinary threat. It’s something darker, something far more dangerous, and it has no allegiance to either side. Will both sides be able to uncover the truth? Or be consumed by the new enemy?
