Book excerpt: In Karl Schroeder's sci-fi thriller, Hayden Griffin has come to the city of Rush with one thing in mind: to take murderous revenge for his parents' deaths. It is the distant future. The world known as Virga is a fullerene balloon three thousand kilometers in diameter, filled with air, water, and aimlessly floating chunks of rock. The humans who live in this vast environment must build their own fusion suns and "towns" that are in the shape of enormous wood and rope wheels that are spun for gravity. Young, fit, bitter, and friendless, Hayden Griffin is a very dangerous man. He's come to the city of Rush in the nation of Slipstream with one thing in mind: to take murderous revenge for the deaths of his parents six years ago. His target is Admiral Chaison Fanning, head of the fleet of Slipstream, which conquered Hayden's nation of Aerie years ago. And the fact that Hayden's spent his adolescence living with pirates doesn't bode well for Fanning's chances . . .

But now Siria Nightingale is headed to the heart of the darkness to try and restore the Light—or lose everything trying. Sixteen-year-old Siria Nightingale has never seen the sun.

But Siria’s need to please her strict and demanding parents means embracing the dark and heading to the royal city—the very center of Queen Izybel’s power—for a chance at a coveted placement at court. And what Siria discovers at the Choosing Ball sends her on a quest toward the last vestiges of Light, alongside a ragtag group of rebels who could help her restore the sun … or doom the kingdom to shadow forever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The final novel of the acclaimed Sun Sword series concludes the epic of a war-torn world of noble houses divided and demon lords unleashed... The armies of Alesso di’Marente and Valedan kai di’Leonne are massing in the Terrean of Averda for the battle that will at last determine the rule of the Dominion. The Sun Sword is about to be delivered by Serra Diora to its “rightful” holder, Valedan, last surviving heir of the clan Leonne. But whether Valedan will be able to wield the sword, or—like the former kai el’Sol—will be consumed by its magic, remains to be seen.

This book was released on 2019-12-22 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conqueror of the Sun – Book 1 – Seed of an Orchid tells the story of Shawn Arc’s rise to power and formation of the IRF, or International Rebellion for Freedom. Arc’s organization is the catalyst for setting the world on fire and starting World War III. Shawn Arc accomplishes this by playing on other factions’ desires for power and destruction. From using the CIA to cover his tracks from the police and FBI to engineering false flag attacks that cause an all-out war in the Middle East, while Arc in turn continues to build his own secret army. Through all of this, Arc also still finds time to love and meet his future wife. Finally, Arc stages a takeover of a nuclear power plant and seeks to make his own nuclear device. This is the recommended start book for first-time readers of the Conqueror of the Sun series. The Conqueror of the Sun series is a seven-book saga that has been 30 years in the making. The story is about a man named Shawn Arc and his desire for power and control beyond anything achieved in human history so far. The tale takes place in an alternate history that starts in the 1990s and extends far, far into the future. Shawn Arc is willing to do anything to accomplish his goals, whether it be by deception, conspiracy, war, betrayal, or on the backs of millions of dead. At the same time, the story shows that Shawn Arc is also about love, romance, and intimate relationships. Can this man be both monster and human? Or is he merely a larger than normal mirror to reflect the essence of the human condition?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warriors. Tyrants. Gods. She will stand against them all. Book 1: Beasts of the Frozen Sun Burn brightly. Love fiercely. For all else is dust. Every child of Glasnith learns the last words of the god-gifted mortal Aillira, and Lira of clan Stone, a descendant of Aillira with the power to read people’s souls, knows the story better than most. When a golden-haired warrior washes up on the shores of her homeland, Lira helps the wounded man. But as they form a bond forbidden by both their clans, Lira finds herself facing the same tragic fate as her ancestor.

She believes the man she loves, a warrior who defected from the Dragon’s army, is dead. Alongside her exiled brother and his band of refugees, she will fight the forces that conquered her island.

She’s transformed into his weapon—the Dragon’s death-bringer, using her gifts to conquer nations and unleash demons. Yet part of Lira seeks a way to free herself. In the final installment of the Frozen Sun Saga, Lira and Reyker face off as enemies, confront their worst nightmares, and make their last stand against the Dragon. But can a god be killed?

Book excerpt: A powerful, moving saga evoking the Celtic, Anglo-Saxon and Norse cultures of a thousand years ago from the acclaimed author of The Fionavar Tapestry. “A historical fantasy of the highest order, the work of a man who may well be the reigning master of the form.”—The Washington Post Book World Bern Thorkellson, punished for his father’s sins, denied his heritage and home, commits an act of vengeance and desperation that brings him face-to-face with a past he’s been trying to leave behind...

Book Synopsis The Dark of the Sun by : Kyri Freeman
Download or read book The Dark of the Sun written by Kyri Freeman and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-12-02 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second book of the Sun Saga, the People struggle to survive as deadly winter falls upon the world. The High-King Selirien fights to keep his realm alive, even as he faces open enmity, false allies, and his own weaknesses. Altir Ilanarion must make a terrible choice between loyalties. The few who survive the Winter will not do so unchanged. I wrote The Dark of the Sun in 2014, so there was a long gap between the writing of the first book and the second, and some definite changes in my level of life experience, which I think the second book reflects. I wanted to create a world based on the natural ecosystems of wild California; to examine, twist, and possibly abuse some of the tropes of classic high fantasy; and to create a nonhuman species who would be not only intriguing but at least somewhat scientifically believable (if you take epigenetic theory a bit beyond the beyonds). After I had written the first book, a character who had been somewhat of a villain was dissatisfied with how he had been portrayed, and insisted upon having the next volume told from his point of view. Whether he remains a villain is up to the reader to decide. It would be possible to start with this book and understand the world and the plotline, but starting with Stealing the Sun is recommended. There is no human POV anywhere in this series, as it is entirely from the point of view of the People -- and to find out who and what the People are, start reading. Readers have praised the drama and narrative drive of these books, finding them hard to put down once started!
