Fayroll: More Than a Game by Andrey Vasilyev
About Fayroll: More Than a Game by Andrey Vasilyev
A witty journalist finds himself ripped away from a city life in Moscow into a quest that leads him to the realm of Fayroll, a virtual reality video game. Given orders to write a series of fluff pieces about the game and its developers, he accidentally starts an unusual journey which can change the entire virtual world, and maybe even the real one.

Author Bio:
“At times, he feels he was meant to be an innkeeper someplace on the outskirts of Bree in J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth. However, in real life, Andrey Vasilyev is a much-celebrated Moscow-based author, as well as one of the originators of the relatively new, yet insanely popular, LitRPG genre that blends cyberpunk, classic sci-fi, and fantasy.
By his own admission, Andrey started writing in his late 30’s and only “because there was nothing handy to read,” but after his first two books gained nearly instant acclaim, he had to give serious thought to changing his current banking career to that of a professional writer. Fortunately for his readers, who had voted his debut novel More Than a Game the “Best Book of the Year 2014,” he never looked back after that.
Over the next few years, he continued work on his now-bestselling Fayroll series, maintained a blog, and participated in various multiple-author projects. Andrey is also the author of The Raven’s Flock and The Arch series, which will soon be available in English.
When he is not writing his intricately crafted, action-packed stories, he enjoys playing online shooter games with his son or rummaging through second-hand bookshops and bookstalls in search of rare editions or personal favorites.”

If you love American Gods, and you never miss an episode of “Supernatural”, this is the next book you need to read!
When Joe Kinderman gave in to his fear of being hurt, he lost Casey to another man. When her car was found abandoned and bloody on the side of the road, he thought that she was gone forever. A camping trip leads to a startling discovery in the woods, and Joe gets the one thing he thought wasn’t possible: a second chance. Unexpectedly immersed in a world where all the rules have changed, Joe has to decide just how far he’ll go to keep the woman of his dreams.
When a widow asks for help, security expert Ryan Brooks is assured that there’s no sign of a threat. He flies to Colorado, believing that he just has to do a quick evaluation and a little hand-holding. By the time he arrives in Denver, his client has been brutally murdered. As the bodies start piling up, Ryan’s path will intersect with Joe’s, and they’ll both discover that they’ve been playing someone else’s game. Nothing is as it seems, and everything is about to get much, much worse.

The Sword of Kaigen by M. L. Wang
About The Sword of Kaigen by M. L. Wang
– ONLY 99c May 26th – 30th! –
“Fantasy and martial arts aficionados alike should enjoy this emotionally supercharged novel about love and loss, which pierces readers’ hearts with the precision of a samurai’s razor-sharp blade.” – Blue Ink ★ Starred Review
“The Poppy War’s darkness meets The Last Airbender’s elemental magic… I haven’t been so emotionally moved by a book in a long while.” – JC Kang, USA Today Bestselling Author of The Dragon Songs Saga
On a mountainside at the edge of the Kaigenese Empire live the most powerful warriors in the world, superhumans capable of raising the sea and wielding blades of ice. For hundreds of years, the fighters of the Kusanagi Peninsula have held the Empire’s enemies at bay, earning their frozen spit of land the name ‘The Sword of Kaigen.’
Born into Kusanagi’s legendary Matsuda family, fourteen-year-old Mamoru has always known his purpose: to master his family’s fighting techniques and defend his homeland. But when an outsider arrives and pulls back the curtain on Kaigen’s alleged age of peace, Mamoru realizes that he might not have much time to become the fighter he was bred to be. Worse, the empire he was bred to defend may stand on a foundation of lies.
Misaki told herself that she left the passions of her youth behind when she married into the Matsuda house. Determined to be a good housewife and mother, she hid away her sword, along with everything from her days as a fighter in a faraway country. But with her growing son asking questions about the outside world, the threat of an impending invasion looming across the sea, and her frigid husband grating on her nerves, Misaki finds the fighter in her clawing its way back to the surface.
When the winds of war reach their peninsula, will the Matsuda family have the strength to defend their empire? Or will they tear each other apart before the true enemies even reach their shores?
………………
A rich elemental magic system and deep world-building make this martial fantasy perfect for fans of R.F. Kuang, Brandon Sanderson, Leigh Bardugo, and Lian Hearn.

Author Bio:
M. L. Wang was born in Wisconsin in 1992, decided she wanted to be an author at the age of nine, and never grew up. She got her Bachelor of Arts in history from Knox College in 2015 and currently works at a martial arts school in her home city of Madison.
Her Theonite Series is the product of over ten years of writing, research, and rampant imagination that began when Wang was still in middle school. She majored in history, learned multiple foreign languages, and even studied abroad with a West African oral traditionalist to realize the universe of these books. The idea behind the series has always been to revel in all the fun and action typical of YA adventure while also exploring deeper (less-fun) issues of gender, ethnicity, and power.
Love Covers by Julia David
About Love Covers by Julia David
Two strangers hiding their own life-long secrets. Can pretending to be married…be that hard?
The town of Greenlock shuns the daughter of the mortician. Day after day, Lauren begrudgingly has to take over her father’s duties creating despondence in her tender heart.
Then a voice speaks from the morgue basement. A rough and tumble outlaw who’s supposed to be dead is still alive! For some unfathomable reason, Lauren agrees to help him stay dead.
Elias was raised at Lennhurst Asylum. Since he had no family or future, he jumped a half-served prison sentence and enlisted in the recent Civil War to wield explosives. From running and surviving all his life, all Elias promised anyone was loyalty. Love was out of the question. When Lauren mentions her longing to see her mother and sister in Colorado, for loyalty’s sake, he offers to take her on the arduous wagon train journey. Of course, it wouldn’t be proper not to be married while traveling together. Lauren and Elias, so vastly opposite; their charade should be easy and yet they never expected it to threaten their very lives.
Loyalty versus love. Can Love Cover a multitude of sin or destroy a future?

Nemesis (Universe in Flames – Dark Legacy Book 1) by Christian Kallias
About Nemesis (Universe in Flames – Dark Legacy Book 1) by Christian Kallias
We thought defeating the Furies would bring peace to the Galaxy. We were wrong.
A year has passed since defeating the Furies. Members of the Alliance are settling into their new roles, but unexpected forces are about to shatter their sense of peace.
Former Admiral Chase Athanatos and the Earth Alliance have won the Fury War. But in doing so, Chase paid a terrible price. His wife, Sarah, was mortally wounded, so he heads out to the unknown region hoping to find a cure.
In the alternate dimension, Ares survived the destruction of Erevos. In his current quest to gather intel about the Spectres and their plans, he’s forced to consider an unlikely alliance with a Fury survivor—that is, if he ever hopes to return home.
Tar’Lock now serves aboard a mercenary ship under the leadership of Captain Talon Epizon, a man with demons and who despises the Earth Alliance. When they come in contact with an enemy spider ship, all hell breaks loose, and the ragtag crew of the Bellerophon must defy the odds if they wish to survive.
It appears the peace that came with defeating the Furies was short-lived. Now the universe is about to plunge into darkness once more. Are Chase and his friends ready for the Spectres? How can they defeat an enemy immensely more powerful than the mighty Furies?

Soul Bondage
Do you feel as if your happiness keeps getting sabotaged? Do you feel bound at times to the appetites of your flesh? I can relate to the internal struggle of sin that produces shame and guilt. You may try to cover up the struggle going on inside, but your soul continues to cry out. There could be a breach in your soul that has allowed the enemy an access point. There could be an active legal precedent potentially stopping you from accessing your greatness.
Using a Hebraic Pauline biblical worldview, I explain how Y’shua and Paul both warned us of the natural principles that could bind us spiritually, financially, and emotionally. These are seen as archaic today, but they are the same principles used by the adversary. Soul Bondage shows us how to fight in the heavenlies using a legal model which is advanced tactical spiritual warfare.

Author Bio:
At the age of six, I began playing the drums during praise and worship at my father’s congregation. This was the first I’ve played, yet I played like I had been playing for years. This was a supernatural event that would set the tone for the call on my life. I did not know at the time how much of a gap I filled for my parents. My mom asked; What made you start playing? My then-six-year-old self replied; God told me to.
Like so many other people, I too hit my pitfalls. My young adult choices led me into a lifestyle of sexual promiscuity, mischief, and self-destruction. I remember one night while sleeping on a couch, when I was homeless, hearing a couple of fight. With a butcher knife clutched under my pillow, I prayed; Father, if you will get me out of this, I will serve you. I see the pain… and the hurt… I get it.
Once I received the indwelling of His Set-apart Spirit, I felt the demand for ministry on my heart. The Almighty called me to reach the nations with the Gospel of Conversion and Deliverance. I have been blessed with the ability to use multiple platforms of media to convey this message. Including biblical class curriculum, movies, audio CD sets, YouTube skits, music, and now books.
I am equipped in the following areas of studies: Divinity, Hebrew Roots, Ancient Hebrew word meanings, Messianic One and Two House, Christian History, Charismatic Theories, Mishnah law, and Black Hebrew Israelite One West doctrines.
Father has used me to see deliverance come to people of all walks of life. Men have gained courage; women have learned their biblical rights, and I have seen the clarity of hearing His voice increase for individuals.

Looper A Coming of Age Novel
About Looper A Coming of Age Novel
Fourteen-year-old Ford Quinn has read The Outsiders, Robert Frost poems, and knows the song lyrics for every single Springsteen album. As he heads into high school, star-gazing poet Ford has fallen hard for an Egyptian princess and become a caddy at an exclusive county club. With an amazing summer vacation ahead of him, what could go wrong?
Everything.
His family can’t afford life in the affluent Detroit neighborhood of Kensington Hills, and his dad’s get-rich-quick schemes are getting as old as his mother’s fervent self-improvement pop psychology. To top everything off, his chances of gaining entry into the popular Lund Gang appears as far away as the stars he sees through the telescope in his bedroom.
Will Ford’s quest to earn a caddy scholarship change the soundtrack of his life? Or will his encounters with cruel foils shatter his dreams and ruin his summer of firsts? This quirky, nostalgic coming-of-age novel will take you back to the time of Space Invaders, Rubik’s cubes, mixtapes, and immerse you in the wonders of growing up in the summer of ‘80.
