"Journey to the Water" by Madeline Crane

After a thousand years of tyranny, the holy city of Phyreios is free.

Its freedom comes at the cost of many lives, among them the healer Khalim, beloved by many but none more than Eske of the Bear Clan, the warrior from the North.

Now Eske is alone, and a new king, a god in Khalim's guise, presides over the city's survivors. Of Khalim himself, nothing remains but a memory and a riddle: In order to follow him, one must travel beyond the edge of the world, breach the gate of bone on a day without a sun, and cross the river of memory, deeper than the sea.

Armed with his strength, his wits, and a good tale or two, Eske sets off across the known world, encountering priests of forgotten gods, great beasts of ancient times, and sorcerers of uncanny power. He will perform any task, make any sacrifice, for the chance to see his beloved again.

Inspired by Robert E. Howard's "Conan the Barbarian" and Ursula LeGuin's Earthsea novels, Journey to the Water concludes the epic story begun in Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea.

"The Dragon Favorite: Beginnings" by Onika Howdyn

Welcome to Jöro…

…a land once teeming with the majestic presence of dragons, known as the Draughtrìnd, now reduced to ashes by the insatiable greed of a malevolent king. Though the war between man and dragon has faded into the past, the lingering aversion towards magic and its wielders remains.

In the river city of Rau, Amalya dreams of adventure beyond her father’s cozy farm. When she stumbles upon a wounded dragon with the farmhand, Wesley, her dreams of adventure take flight. As the years pass, love and family gradually fade that memory into the background of her life, becoming the only remaining beacon of hope.

Now, Amalya finds herself trapped in the clutches of depression, forced to observe the vestiges of her joy in the eyes of her son. The realization that she will never genuinely reclaim that joy plunges her further into the depths of despair.

When a mysterious man arrives to help on the farm, Amalya feels an unexplainable sense of familiarity. Could he be her only chance to break free from the torment that has haunted her since motherhood? And what consequences must she face to reclaim her light?

The Dragon Favorite is the first of two books written by Onika Howdyn.

"Well of Eida" by K. B. Benson

Everyone hides a monster inside. I tore mine from the inside out.

Two years have passed since Ari was taken as a prisoner to the troll realm. Two years of blood staining her hands, killing as the troll king’s mercenary. In Eida, it’s kill or be killed, and Ari will do anything to survive.

But survival does not come easy in Eida, especially for a young woman with fire in her blood.

When Ari’s sold to one of Eida’s most notorious training masters, her survival comes with a price: unleash the monster she’s buried inside. A very real and very dangerous creature no opponent can defeat.

Ari expects to kill. She expects to survive. But she doesn’t expect her growing feelings for the man who has claimed her as his. Together, Ari and her master will cut down every opponent in the arena seeking to win a wish from their king.

Until a man from her past challenges her within those walls, and everything Ari has fought for crumbles. All for a man she once loved. But if she is to save her own life, she must take his.

After all, everyone dies in Eida.

 

For fans of The Hunger Games and the Grishaverse—your next epic fantasy obsession is here.

Well of Eida is a spellbinding upper YA/new adult fantasy filled with mythical creatures, dragons, and a swoon-worthy enemies-to-lovers romance. With a unique magic system, morally grey characters, and a slow-burn hate-to-love packed with tension (but no spice), this immersive tale delivers betrayal, heartbreak, and high-stakes adventure.

Perfect for readers who crave immersive worldbuilding, strong heroines, emotional twists, and characters you’ll love—even when you shouldn't.

"Woven by Fate" by Autumn Hawthorne

I’m his prisoner, but he will kill anyone who dares touch me.

Xavier Todd is a ruthless enemy leader, and he should not have saved my life, nor stolen me away from the surface.

I cannot leave, yet I cannot sit idly by, so I do what I do best: gather information. Every secret I pull free goes straight to those who can put an end to the war between our people – permanently. Yet, Xavier is nothing like I was told he would be. He protects me, teaches me how to use my new found magic, and he calls to me in a way that defies all reason and logic. It is forbidden on both sides, but my magic flickers at every touch.

The more secrets that come to light, the more I realize the extent of the lies fed to my people, and what I have done will put me on the wrong side of Xavier’s divine violence.

My life and the lives of everyone I have grown to love hangs in the balance. War looms on the horizon, and I, Celeste James, must choose between loyalty and destiny.

Woven by Fate is a Epic Fantasy Romance with reluctant chosen ones, forbidden love, magic-tendril spice, and a dark otherworldly threat lingering in the shadows.
