The Many Shades of Midnight (Tales of Isyr Book 1) by C M Debell (49 Reviews)    Price verified one minute ago

A plague of monsters. A deadly conspiracy. A truth that will shatter the world. Isyr. Stronger, brighter, more beautiful than other metals. Once the most desirable thing in Ellasia, now it is priceless, the pure Isyrium needed to produce it mined to exhaustion. What's left is controlled by the powerful mining syndicates, and such is the demand for their Isyrium that even kings do their bidding. Yet just as the beauty of Isyr hides a deadly secret, so too do the syndicates. A terrifying enemy is spreading a plague across the land, a sickness that kills or transforms everything it touches. Unable to contain the outbreaks, the King of Lankara begs the aid of his disgraced former military commander, Alyas-Raine Sera, a man who has spent years fighting syndicate expansion and whose resentment over his exile makes him an unpredictable, dangerous ally in the power struggle between the rulers of Ellasia and the mining companies. Attached to the envoy to recall Alyas, the apprentice surgeon Brivar finds his skills and loyalty tested as his service to his new patron uncovers secrets about Isyr and the plague that link it to the mining of Isyrium - and threaten the life of the man it is his duty to safeguard. In their own separate ways, Alyas and Brivar must take on the might of the syndicates and confront the greed, murder, betrayal and impossible choices of a crisis that has been decades in the making - and the price of their failure could be everyone and everything. The Many Shades of Midnight is a gritty political fantasy about friendship, sacrifice, and the fight for survival in a world where greed drives everything and no one can be trusted. If you enjoy complex characters, intricate world-building, and high-stakes intrigue, you'll love this standalone grimdark fantasy.

" -- goes to the next parents that look enough like me, and I'm reborn that day. Then, when I turn eighteen, I get my memories back, and my ability to take things from shadows. Oh, and this tattoo." I pulled back the hair on the left side of my head, so they could see the black outline drawn behind my ear. It was a dagger, with an hourglass handle bearing the letter F. "When I'm born again, this appears as a red birthmark. When I turn eighteen, it turns black." I reached into my back pocket, my fingers closing around the ticket I'd taken off my abductor. I was about to remove it when I caught sight of Aela's face. She was staring at the wall behind my head, looking far beyond this room. Unless I was imagining things, I could see tears forming. "What's wrong?" I asked, unintentionally turning the spotlight on her. She didn't answer or look at anyone for a full minute. Her eyes moved to the floor, then rose to meet mine. "Are there others like you?" Her voice was a murmur. I nodded, not understanding. "Yes, there are a lot of us. Why?" She ignored my question. "Do all of you have that marking?" "Yes...

When an old memorial stone, bearing an uncanny inscription, is discovered on a construction site in the scenic KwaZulu-Natal Midlands of South Africa, it becomes the bridge that spans the chasm of time between the past and the present. The fascinating contents of a family heirloom, a century-old rosewood box, make the strange discovery even more remarkable, and the story is told of the power of love pitted against the black abyss of hate, bitterness and deep emotional scars. On a bright October morning in 1909, Captain Michael Dunbar leads his troop of Natal Mounted Riflemen across a wooden bridge into the picturesque little town of Langton Falls, blissfully unaware of the fact that he has just stepped into the greatest adventure of his life. It's here, in the little town with its majestic 300-foot waterfall and famous hotel, somewhere in the sun-drenched Midlands of Royal Natal, where he meets the extraordinary beauty, Leonora Stanford. The lovely nurse, also the highly esteemed midwife of Langton Falls, declares war when he incurs her wrath for no apparent reason. As their lives intertwine with those of the colourful characters in the town, their paths cross often, and so do their swords.

The Enemy Within: A Dystopian Thriller by Graham Watkins (21 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

A car crash, an old suitcase and a dark secret leads to a story of arson and murder. Simon Reece's journey through this dystopian crime thriller, searching to find his identity, draws him into a world of lies, danger and murder. This is a world controlled by evil policemen, corrupt politicians and all seeing computers, a world where fiction and science come together, of suspense and action where vulnerable citizens are mere pawns in a terrible experiment. As Simon Reece fights to expose the truth he faces mortal challenges, deadly enemies who will stop at nothing and a state which will do everything in its power to destroy him. Reece's quest is a story of Orwellian madness writ large in the 21st Century. Paul White's review says all; Revelations in the aftermath of a tragedy, lead Simon Reece, cyber-security entrepreneur, to embark on a quest to discover his true identity. This personal catastrophe intersects with national calamity - a fractured country, paralysed by rioting, plagued by terrorist violence, struggling to find its own new identify; a nation highly susceptible to the arguments of a populist movement that offers an apparently surefooted pathway amidst the sinkholes of a collapsing society and body politic. The book's author, Watkins, masterfully taps into the zeitgeist of potentially post-Brexit Britain, immersing the reader in a maelstrom from which the lead character and the country are co-joined in a struggle in which so-called "special relationships" are exposed as ephemeral window-dressings concealing shady goings-on where vested interests are ruthlessly pursued. Watkins takes us on a journey at which every twist and turn leads to revelations that shatter the very foundations of what might be considered normal, both for the individual and for society at large. At the heart of the book lies a fundamental question: in highly volatile times, how much "collateral damage" to our freedom and civil liberties are we prepared to accept in return for ...
