One man against the world
The Quest for Freedom
The Conquest Trilogy Book 1
by Matthew Devitt
Genre: Dark Epic Fantasy, Action, Adventure
Affer was once a peaceful planet, until a war broke out
between its six inhabiting species. The humans, who were once the mightiest
force on Affer, were massacred in droves, and the ones who survived the
onslaught were reduced to mere slaves. The five other species divided the
humans amongst themselves and returned to their respective kingdoms.
The years passed, turning into decades and centuries, without any change.
Eventually, the humans had accepted their fate as slaves. All except one. Four
hundred and seventy-three years later, Fletcher Rush starts his journey to free
his kind...and conquer the planet.
I've always had a love for fantasy, and to this day LOTR and
The Inheritance Cycle remain some of my favorite books. There are limitless
possibilities when you're writing, but with fantasy, it's different. You don't
have to adhere to rules or logic; you can create whatever type of world you
want. Characters can live in a dystopian society, a grand futuristic city, a
picture-perfect world, or a medieval wasteland. Time, technology, and magic are
all there for the taking, and as a writer, you get to choose what defines your
story.

The Sacred Band of Stepsons begins here.
Tempus
with his Right Side
Companion Niko
Sacred Band Series Book 1
by Janet Morris
Genre: Epic Fantasy Adventure
The iconic adventures of Tempus, the Riddler, and his Sacred
Band. Relive the earliest adventures of the Sacred Band through the eyes of
Nikodemos, his right-side companion, as Niko seeks his spirit's balance on
Bandara's misty isles.
Five iconic Sacred Band stories from a world of thieves,
plus tales available nowhere else, make up this volume. Join the Stepsons from
their earliest days.
Publisher's note: Parts of this work have been published in
similar form in several volumes of the million-selling Thieves World® series
and in the Sacred Band novel, Beyond Sanctuary.
Best selling author Janet Morris began writing in 1976 and
published more than 30 novels, many co-authored with her husband Chris Morris
or others. She contributed short fiction to the shared universe fantasy series
Thieves World, in which she created the Sacred Band of Stepsons, a mythical
unit of ancient fighters modeled on the Sacred Band of Thebes. She created,
orchestrated, and edited the Bangsian fantasy series Heroes in Hell, writing
stories for the series as well as co-writing the related novel, The Little
Helliad, with Chris Morris. She wrote the bestselling Silistra Quartet in the
1970s, including High Couch of Silistra, The Golden Sword, Wind from the Abyss,
and The Carnelian Throne. This quartet had more than four million copies in
Bantam print alone, and was translated into German, French, Italian, Russian
and other languages. In the 1980s, Baen Books released a second edition of this
landmark series. The third edition is the Author's Cut edition, newly revised
by the author for Perseid Press. Most of her fiction work has been in the
fantasy and science fiction genres, although she has also written historical
and other novels. Morris has written, contributed to, or edited several
book-length works of non-fiction, as well as papers and articles on nonlethal
weapons, developmental military technology and other defense and national
security topics.
Janet said: 'People often ask what book to read first. I
recommend "I, the Sun" if you like ancient history; "The Sacred
Band," a novel, if you like heroic fantasy; "Lawyers in Hell" if
you like historical fantasy set in hell; "Outpassage" if you like
hard science fiction; "High Couch of Silistra" if you like far-future
dystopian or philosophical novels. I am most enthusiastic about the definitive
Perseid Press Author's Cut editions, which I revised and expanded.'

The Rebellious Slave 3
Post-Apocalyptic Sci-Fi Action Adventure Romance
To Be Published: May 30, 2025
Rowan teaches the art of love to a lusty novice, while Ky suffers at the
hands of an old enemy.
The lusty adventure continues!
Slave girl Rowan attempts a daring escape from her mysterious kidnapper.
She hopes to be reunited with Ky and find the Key that will release her from
the bonds of slavery and let them love as equals. Rowan is found by Lopi, a
virgin fisherman, and she gratefully teaches him the joy of sex.
Ky has sworn revenge against the bearded man who took Rowan from him.
However, he’s been handed over to his old enemy, the evil Warlord
Thorfin, who seeks Rowan for his own purposes. Will the conjoined twins, Pus
and Tule, be able to help Ky escape with his life? And what of Chin Lau?
Rowan’s fellow slave has accepted the wolf brand and is the personal
bodyguard and lover of the beautiful war chief, Tamin Gutra. He soon
discovers she demands much more than his satisfying skills in bed.
To unlock the secret of this strange medieval world that coexists with
advanced technologies, Rowan must first survive and then be reunited with
the love of her life.
Ky’s head felt as if it was going to burst. It throbbed in time with
the beating of a drum that seemed to be not two inches from his ears. This
wasn’t his only torment. His wrists and ankles were cruelly knotted
with thin twine that cut deep into his inflamed flesh. When he struggled, a
wave of nausea overturned his consciousness. He dry-retched, which sent
fresh stabs of lightning through his tortured brain.
He forced open his blood-encrusted eyes. The bizarre scene caused a moment
of confused alarm. Everything was upside down. The pain emanating from his
ankles was explained; he was hanging by his feet. He reasoned, after a few
moments, that he was inside a vast tent, and against the walls the flaring
torches cast dancing shadows of a parade of exotic animals and bizarre
circus performers. Ky caught sight of Pustule, the ridiculously named
two-headed dwarf. The cunning oddity was the loyal creature of Boss, the
carnival’s owner. Laughter erupted from the audience who sat at long
tables, amply supplied with wine bottles and ale mugs. Ky licked his dry
lips.
What is this place? In brief disordered snatches he recalled his and
Rowan’s attempted escape from the caravan, the fight with the bearded
man, the taking of Rowan, the boss’s betrayal, and the arrival of the
Skolls, the vicious marauders of the wastelands. He recalled that instead of
just taking him, the Skolls had captured the whole caravan. After that the
numerous beatings, too many to count, blended into one continuous thread of
pain.
Nausea again threatened to take him out of his pain when a bucket of foul
wastewater from the cook tent was emptied in his face. He coughed and
spluttered as the stale liquid filled his nostrils.
Before him, only a few yards away, flanked by guards armed with spears, a
naked gargantuan occupied an ivory throne. The big man pushed away the thin
whore who’d been curled in his lap sucking his engorged prick. She
slid to the floor gasping. Ky experienced a pang of recognition, but in his
confused state he couldn’t put a name to her. Released from her
immediate duty, she crawled away into the shadows.
The giant gave a hand signal, and the drumbeats ceased, as did the
chattering of the assembled guests.
“He lives, does he?” he asked a thin, rat-faced man who stood
by Ky.
“As you ordered, Captain,” the man replied.
Ky cursed the fiend who obviously revelled in inflicting pain with skills
designed to take a living body to the brink of death and coax it back
again.
“He hangs by his feet so as not to drown in his own
blood.”
“Call me Lord Thorfin!”
“Lord Thorfin,” the man hastily corrected himself.
That some sort of promotion had occurred mattered little to Ky. It was the
name that stabbed him in the heart.
Thorfin!
He hadn’t recognized the warlord from his dizzying position. He
doubted he would have known him under normal circumstances. Thorfin had
grown prodigiously fat during the dozen years that had passed since Ky had
been on the losing side in the War of the Three Sovereigns. Filled with rage
and grief, he’d stood with his father and brother while Thorfin
personally walked among the ranks of prisoners choosing those who’d be
sacrificed to Po. Ky had stared defiantly into the eyes of Thorfin, who
laughed and chose his older brother, Sandor. Ky had rushed forward only to
be beaten to the ground, his head held up by the hair so he could watch
Sandor dragged to the crude block to have his body ripped asunder.
Ky had screamed every curse known to man till his voice failed. In the
cells he’d watched helplessly as his father died of grief. Then, after
a month-long trek, he’d been returned to Slavin Hold and pressed into
service as a guard. At Slavin he’d started every day by swearing
bloody revenge, an impotent gesture, as it turned out. Now the tyrant had
him trussed up like a beast ready for slaughter.
Ky forced his mind to rise above his pain to concentrate on Thorfin’s
words.
“I am bored with this,” Thorfin said. “Will he talk,
Greeg?”
The torturer slapped Ky’s arse. “If he knows what’s good
for him he will.”
“Then put him to the question.”
What question?
Greeg extracted an iron poker from the fire and waved it so close to
Ky’s eyes it felt as if his tears would boil. “Where is the
girl?”
Of course. This was about Rowan!
Rowan, the rebellious slave who he loved. Ky spat a wad of blood from his
mouth. If he told Thorfin that Rowan had been taken by the bearded man, he
might know who that mysterious fellow was and go after her. Did he really
want Thorfin to get his hands on her? Even if he lived beyond this day,
could he protect her?
Then, in a moment of clarity he realized that Boss, the corpulent owner of
the carnival who had handed him over, would have already told Thorfin
everything. There was no reason not to speak what he knew.
“The man with the beard,” he said his words barely
audible.
Greeg struck him with an open hand. “Speak up!”
Ky repeated his answer.
“Yes, yes,” Thorfin said irritably. “I know of him. Who
is he?”
“I don’t know. He never said his name.”
“No one in the town knew him either,” Greeg confirmed. “I
asked them most pointedly.”
“You haven’t killed them all, have you?” Thorfin
demanded.
Greeg chuckled. “Not yet, but they wish for it.”
“They must know something. There are more clues to a man’s
identity than just his beard.” Though a beast in human form, and
despite consuming a vast amount of wine, Ky knew Thorfin was not without
intelligence.
“I will persist in my questioning, my Lord Thorfin.”
“I want answers.” Thorfin returned his gaze to Ky. “She
means something to you, this slave, Rowan.”

Ambition to Savor
B.B.E. Gwyn
(The Lone Thorn Series)
Publication date: February 7th 2025
Genres: Adult, Adventure, Fantasy
When a quest for magical ingredients takes you from kitchen to adventure, you’d better save your appetite.
Dedicated and cautious restaurant owner Jonathan Tessier dreams of crafting legendary recipes—the fame and fortune that might follow is a pretty nice bonus. But it’s all he can do to keep his restaurant afloat. Stolen ingredients, a surprise visit from a food critic, and a damaged reputation put his business at risk.
Jonathan knows he needs to make a change. A big one. Before he loses it all.
He and his eager head chef, Elenora Kerras, soon set off to find the bizarre ingredients that might save his restaurant. This hunt takes them through towns and wilderness, where they encounter dangerous beasts and sly individuals. They face challenges more thrilling than even their busiest dinner shifts.
Each success brings Jonathan ever closer to his lofty goal—until he stumbles upon his most startling discovery yet.
Will his dreams be worth all their luster, or will the revelation shatter his culinary world?
A standalone fantasy adventure in the Lone Thorn series, Ambition to Savor is a fun and whimsical tale that explores a question you never thought you needed to ask—What if a restaurant owner had magical powers and a dream to find flavors from deep within a world of hidden quirks?
Corruption. Mutiny. Absolute villainy was occurring within the walls of his beloved establishment.
Jonathan Tessier had little reason to complain of late. Profit margins were rising, his customer base was expanding, and the recent annual health inspection had wrapped up swimmingly with no findings. After years of fatiguing work and plowing through stress, things were supposed to be looking up for his pride and joy, the Taverne Tessier.
However, walking down the street on this early autumn morning, he was feeling neither proud nor joyous. He could see his restaurant across from him as he stood waiting at the intersection, its pristine exterior of royal blue and beige surrounded by trees of warm hues. When he first renovated the place, he had aimed for a clean and regal appearance inside and out, so even if he could not boast of its size, the feeling of elegance, class, and beauty would still be conveyed.
And now it was filthy. Metaphorically speaking, of course.
