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.

Yan and Raul: The story of a man and a woman ... and a talking dog! by S. Sean Tretheway (3 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Yan & Raul - The story of a man, a woman... and a talking dog. Yan is clueless when it comes to women, but he's intrigued by a new arrival in town - the mysterious Raelene. Raul sees Yan struggling to impress Raelene and offers to help, a la Cyrano de Bergerac. The only problem is - Raul is a dog and Raelene is his owner! Is Raul really a talking dog? Or is Yan just crazy in love? Find out in this fun tale of romance and adventure - Yan and Raul! From a reader: By the tenth chapter of Yan and Raul, I was feeling pretty good about what the end might be... or did I!?! Every chapter that followed had me revising my idea of the ending. It's a quick read, but by the last chapter, I was out of breath. It was packed so full of rich stories within stories. I was embarrassed being caught laughing out loud, really guffawing, time and time again. Who, but this author, would consider that it is a compliment for a dog to call someone a bonehead. This delightful book covers pretty much every genre you can think of. It would fit comfortably on the bookshelf that has a "romantic feel" at the Sea Shelves bookstore, and would be equally at home on the bookshelf-roll top desk, "the kind you might find in Sherlock Holmes' study." It is a romantic comedy, and it is a tale of mystery. It has its share of adventure (think gun wielding drunk), and the kind of entertainment you might find at the circus. Each of the three main characters - a man and a woman... and a talking dog - are delightful and unique. There is nothing ordinary in any part of this story, and yet it seems so very familiar. If you want an easy read that will surprise you on every page, this is the book you should read. The language is occasionally more "colorful" than I typically prefer to read, but that didn't "discolor" the book for me in any way. I referred it to one friend who immediately ordered several copies to hand out. I hope it catches on. We could all use a clever and articulate talking dog ...
