"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.

A sell-sword for hire, Avante’s life is completely changed when an Aasimar tells her that she is the chosen one, that she is needed in Quai to defeat the new champion of the Fallen. There’s just a small hiccup: Not one but two ancient artefacts are missing.

With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, her gang - an elf, an eladrin, a dragonborn, a gnome, and a nerd - must travel across the continent and take a stand. If not for the living, if not for the world, then for a second chance at happiness. And for a life-changing amount of gold.

Can they put aside personal grudges to save themselves and the world?

"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.
