"Thieves' Honor" by David Combs

An Ancient evil preys upon the great port city of Tarnath. Terror grips the citizens as aristocrats and commoners alike disappear into the night’s shadows.

A foreign nobleman with a personal score against the “Dockside Slayer” offers three condemned men the chance to save their own lives. Before they can stop the Killer though, a mage with doubts about his own power, a barbarian warrior always in the wrong place and time, and an arrogant cutpurse without caution must first overcome their own differences if they are to prove that there is such a thing as Thieves' Honor.

From the Author

"I have always known that I wanted to be a writer. Ever since I was a kid, my imagination bounded with stories of magic, heroes, and grand adventures. As a teenager, I began putting some of those flights of fantasy down on paper. My goal was to enter the publishing world until I could survive strictly as an author.

Life has a funny way of changing your plans though, and the great literary career I envisioned stalled. For too many years, half-finished tales sat in dusty boxes waiting to be taken up once again. Finally, after some much needed motivation took root, I once again decided that it was time to pursue that which I was so passionate about-storytelling.

Thieves' Honor is the first achievement in what I hope becomes a long list of stories that I can share with those of you who are so graciously taking your own time to read this. For me, it has always been about sharing an adventure with those who wanted to hear it. It was the thrill of being able to go to my own bookshelf and see my name gracing the spine of a book there.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for supporting the daydreams of kid whose head has never left the clouds."

Sincerely,

Dave Combs

"Song of the Broken: The Sundering" by Easton J. Thomson

Coming Soon! 

Release Date:  February 20, 2026

Just because it’s broken doesn’t mean it can’t be mended.

In the Norse-inspired kingdom of Frostheim, Ivar has witnessed the worst the world has to offer—violence, greed, and betrayal. With his family’s honor destroyed and his newborn sister’s life hanging by a thread, he is consumed by a ruthless determination to keep her safe, no matter the cost. But as his journey pulls him into a web of bloody vengeance and buried secrets, he risks losing not just the fragile peace he clings to, but the humanity he’s fighting to protect.

Across the sea, Baldwin, a bounty hunter with no memory of his past, finds himself in the war-threatened kingdom of Tybalta. Tasked by the king to stop an impending enemy invasion, Baldwin’s mission takes a sinister turn when he discovers a chilling truth—the enemy wages war on the vulnerable, trafficking children to further their agenda. As he delves deeper into the atrocities, Baldwin must confront his own fractured morality, torn between the need to stop the invaders and the sacrifices he must make to save the innocent.

In a powerful story of vengeance, loss, magic, and redemption, Ivar and Baldwin stand against ascendant evil, each forced to confront the darkness where demons wear human faces.

"Song of the Broken: The Sundering" is a dark fantasy / viking fantasy by Easton J. Thomson.

"Chosen of the Dark Realm" by David Cornford

"Chosen of the Dark Realm" is Book One of the Great Plan series:

It has been over a thousand years since the seals between this reality and the dark realm of Kur were broken and the wraith-like gallus invaded the continent of Dannum.

When the former priest of An, Adaru, escapes from the tower where the restored seals lay that prevent the gallus from crossing realms, war consumes the land with Adaru's machinations. A kingdom falls, ancient powers awaken and the power of Kur is unleashed again.

The guardian Nanaya and her companions barely stopped the gallus last time, but the Darisam civilisation was annihilated those 1000 years ago, and the land reduced to a poisoned desert, but for one ancient tower. Nanaya is forced to confront the terrors of her past, terrors that took everyone she ever cared for. Nanaya, now advisor to the present king of Southcastle. fears the past will repeat itself.

Elsewhere, Baraka, a desperate treasure hunter from the arid Fringe States that border the vast desert of The Territory, discovers secrets that irrevocably change him; and Samuel, a young man working on his family's farm in the western kingdom of Royaume d'Occident, realises his dreams of adventure, but in doing so loses his innocence.

Kur corrupts the land as Adaru moves closer to realising his terrible ambition of breaking the seals again and Nanaya, now the last guardian in Dannum, knows she is not strong enough to stand against him alone.

"Out of Dark Waters" by Jason Stigliano

The hunter waits in silent waters, biding its time to rise and feed.

 

A band of companions, not so different from those you’ve met before. The stoic warrior, seeking vengeance. The priestess, struggling to believe. The elderly gnome, stumbling on spells from an ageless tome. And Vander, a failed soldier and a broken man, waking from nightmares of dragonfire.

 

Once it has your scent, it never stops hunting you.

 

Petty adventurers, in truth, bent on gold and good ale, barely hoping to make something of themselves. Until they find a danger crueler than their memories, an ancient and devouring spirit. With more luck than skill, they escape its hunger. But the hunter does not give up its prey so easily.

 

They will win battles. Sometimes, they will find happiness. Still, a pitiless and ravenous darkness follows them, and it knows their fears.

 

It knows you, and it will not rest until it consumes you.

"Hearts of Ice and Stone" by Martin Dukes

Laura DeLacey never realised that she was different to those around her, or that she was touched in some way by the heavens, until she first set foot, contrary to all law and tradition, within the grim portals of Darkharrow. Here, in the remote Eastings of Britannia, far from the wealth and power of London, the dead lie sleeping beneath the ancient towers and cloisters of the great abbey.

For some of these, destiny dictates that their long slumber shall endure until the last trump sounds and all of the dead rise from their graves at last, but a fortunate few are fated to reawaken well before that day. No one has ever been able to look upon the countenances of the departed and tell whether they may be awakened, whether their hearts are of ice or of stone, and none have been able to summon them forth once more- until now.

Caught between the competing affections of those who love her, threatened by those who would destroy her, Laura finds herself enmeshed in a web of conspiracy that draws upon her deepest resources and enforces choices upon her of the most momentous kind.

"Hearts of Ice and Stone" is a standalone gothic dark fantasy book by Martin Dukes.

"Gathering Shadows" by C. J. Wallingsford

Gathering Shadows is a decadent, dark story about fate. The Webs of Fate series is an addicting forbidden love, dark romantic fantasy with witty banter, heart-stopping action, and blistering hot romance set in a vibrant modern-day world full of magic where myth and history blur together in a mockery of truth.

Callahan
Welcome to the Dark, Little Star.

Natalia saves my life. Mistake or not, it puts her on the board as a player. The Light will hunt her for the betrayal and the Dark will seek her to use her. I sink my claws into Natalia, twisting her into a contract. I have uses for her, and for the Light she carries within her.

The annual Gathering Shadows Ceremonies loom on the horizon, twelve days where I’m forced to compete for the Dark Throne. It’s kill or be killed. I name her as my partner, but she’s a wild card, fighting my authority as her alpha. She’s breathtaking, raw power I’m drawn to, but she might cost me everything.

Natalia
 

It was an accident.

As a Magia I have two obligations: an arranged betrothal to preserve my Magia bloodline and protect humans from the Seraphinus. I didn’t mean to save the life of a Darkling. In my defense, I was hung over and thought he was human. Oops.

I accept a contract trying to postpone marrying a man I don’t love and unwittingly sell my life to Callahan. He claims to be my alpha now, but it’s stupid to trust a man who admits he wants to use me. He is a Dark Seraphinus, wickedly brutal and lacks remorse. Still, the way he stares at me with hungry desire and holds my hand tempts me, and I’m in more danger than losing my life.

"The Dark Side of Reverence" by F. M. Hepton

ABOUT THE BOOK

What begins as a routine assignment quickly spirals into a battle for survival, thrusting Cane into the heart of a rebellion led by… monks?! With the once-peaceful realm of Valoria teetering on the brink of chaos, Cane uncovers the dark forces at play—an insidious plot helmed by the evil Duke Nieman, whose black corruption spreads through the land like an unseen, macabre curse. 

At the center of it all looms the enigmatic High Priestess Atropa, a figure steeped in occult power, whose ultimate goal is nothing short of Valoria’s complete domination. As Cane fights to untangle the web of lies and betrayal, he encounters magical creatures and uncovers an ancient key that may hold the answers to it all. But not all is doom and despair.

And then there’s Baroness Gradunce, whose beauty and mysterious allure leave Cane questioning everything—even his own heart. As the battle rages on, Cane must navigate a perilous quest to save Valoria, facing mythical powers, haunting revelations, and the chilling truth: not everything that shines is gold, and some truths are better left unknown.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Francesca is the author of over 15 books and has made the leap from fun kids' books to dark fantasy. She loves delving into the weird and wonderful, whether it’s ancient stone circles, esoteric myths or the unexpected miracles lurking in the woodlands. She’s the mother of two strapping lads and is lucky enough to live in North Yorkshire, where the gothic landmarks inspire, the pies are to die for, and the weather has a unique way of shaking creativity out of its slumber (the Yorkshire version of Kundalini yoga is a bracing walk through the dales and moors in the icy cold rain).

Passionate about a healthy body and mind, Francesca helps children grow strong and confident through Kiki and Friends and her journaling course. She also volunteers as a fitness instructor at a local club—because dark fantasy authors need to stay battle-ready.

"Imbued" by Helyna L. Clove

"Magic was always going to be my downfall. I've known that from the start."

Calla has no memories of her childhood except for hazy, recurring nightmares. Working as a servant in Kiriong, the picturesque terrace garden home to one of the most influential families in the Kamphua Dominion, she's content to live a simple life. As long as no one finds out about the forbidden magic stirring under her skin.

When the estranged family heir, Gray-a magehunter in servitude of the royal hold-unexpectedly returns home, Calla's secret threatens to surface. Instead of turning her in, however, Gray offers her the one thing she always feared: to teach her how to use her powers. And as the turbulent tides of long-forgotten magic draw them together, Calla finds it harder and harder to deny her potential.

But Gray knows more than what he admits. In the aftermath of a vile political plot targeting him and with the shadow of a mage uprising cast upon the land, finding out what happened to Calla in her forgotten years might be their only chance to survive.

Except the knowledge could break them both.

It could break the world.

"Imbued" is a standalone dark romantasy by Helyna L. Clove.

Book 2 of Axis Mundi: Fire of Life

I stood up and looked them in the eye, although their face was empty and white like a cloud. I closed my fist conscious of the lapis lazuli against the back of my hand. “I have questions.”

The entity disappeared. I looked around helplessly hoping they would appear again.

She has questions. The priestess has questions. Answer. No! Don’t answer.


“Please!” I said, raising my voice. Unlike the entity, my voice didn’t echo. “If you help me we can save the planet from a demon called Raijin! Please!”

The Lord of Thunder. The Abyss. We don’t care. We want to live.
