Age Category: New Adult
Format: Ebook
Length: 171 Pages

About the Book:

Welcome to Owensboro; death overshadows the small-town charm and evil festers in plain sight. It’s the kind of place where bad things can happen, and no one is surprised.

Trinity dreams of leaving town, but she’s stuck in college, still living at home. Even after a man is found hanging from the ceiling of an abandoned hospital, covered head to foot in bite marks—marks like the ones Jai, her boyfriend, leaves on her—Trinity can’t seem to distance herself. Not from Owensboro. Not from Jai or the secret spot in the forest where something watches her from the trees, fat with sacrifice. Things are spiraling dangerously out of control, and Trinity is in her favourite place: right in the thick of it.

Book Details:

Title: Performances of a Death Metal Bard by Rob Leigh
Genre: Fantasy, Horror
Age Category: Adult
Format: Paperback/Ebook
Length: 146 Pages
Publication Date: October 31, 2024

About the Book:

Unfortunately, Death Metal doesn’t get much play in this sleepy, peaceful, actually kind of boring kingdom. Of course not. It’s tough inventing a genre on your own, and it doesn’t help when all the instruments you’ve tried up to this point don’t match the brutality necessary for a dark and heavy performance.

My coin only seems to be enough to get me to the next run-down village, and it’s dwindling fast.

To make matters worse, my newest lute is not normal. It never stays in tune, it’s barely holding together, and it keeps whispering to me. Over and over, demands for vengeance and murder echo in my head, with the promise that I’ll find the sound I need if I just listen to the voices.

So what’s a starving bard to do?

Performances of a Death Metal Bard is a brutal fantasy adventure inspired by The Witcher and Metalocalypse, merging the episodic travels of a musical elf with the darkness, blood, and raw riffs of the heaviest metal the kingdom has ever seen.

About the Author:

These stories expanded into epic and dark fantasy tales rife with danger, action, humor, and heart. Whether you’re a metalhead, a fan of fantasy, or a lover of gripping tales, Leigh’s books are ready to welcome you on a pulse-pounding journey.

Publication Date: November 5, 2024

About the Book:

Welcome to the Shifting Lands.

Silluka was born with only one arm and could never practice the exacting motions to summon the favor of the gods. Caught stealing, she is forced to test her powers or be branded an outcast. She fails, and loses citizenship to her village.

In a fit of desperation, Silluka tries to steal a badge of citizenship from a mysterious elder, but instead, Elder Quilqi shows Silluka a different path to gain the powers of the gods, aided by an octopus-like technological wizard who worships their own eldritch divinities. Time is short for training however, because a new island is speeding toward the coastal town, throwing deadly hurricanes and tidal waves before it and threatening all who live there.

Only the gods and godlike storm warriors protect the village from destruction, but all of them fail when a mysterious creature bursts through the wall. It’s only one forerunner for a species of terrifying turtlemen: fast, deadly, and ready to invade the larger island. The village must flee inland before the invasion, while Silluka is weighed down by her outcast status and her brother’s failing abilities. To save herself, her family, and her village, Silluka must overcome stigma and self-doubt. She must learn the scope of the world outside her village. She must learn Physical Magic.

About the Book:

Slowly freezing in the snow and a knife to the gut are two awful ways to die.

And Cerise would very much like to avoid both. A mysterious man steps from the shadows with an offer of food, a bed, and a roof over her head. The catch? She’ll have to become his assassin apprentice. Her hands are already stained with the blood of five men. What’s a little more?

But training to be an assassin isn’t easy and learning to control her magic even less. To complicate things, Cerise can’t fight her attraction to her mentor, Keir, or his charming best friend, Damara. It wouldn’t be a problem if she wasn’t a dirty street rat. Well, that and society isn’t ready for two women to be together.

Everything heats up as an arsonist stalks the streets. His targets? Brothel owners and Cerise’s aunt is at the top of his list. Can Cerise get strong enough to help Keir hunt him down or will her aunt become another tragic death that haunts her nightmares?

About the Book:

Legend says there was once a labyrinth where the city of Sangarie now stands. Each year on the Night of Shadows the populace stays inside while gateways to the labyrinth appear in the streets, and shadows wait to devour the brave, or the foolish. Gray was both, and it still haunts him.

He deals with his nightmares through sarcasm and overconfidence, and has risen in the ranks of the criminal guild to wrangle the most unruly district in the city: Old Town. He cheats at dice, drinks too much, and flirts as naturally as he breathes. When he finds the body of a fellow guild member, rumors spread that he’s the killer and he does what he does best—ignores authority and tries to handle it himself.

His investigations leave him on the run from both the guild and the guards, and he’s blackmailed into one last heist. One that will plunge him into the bowels of urban legend and force him to face his own traumatic past. The city’s future depends on the wit and bluster of the greatest thief ever to run across its rooftops, but can he survive the labyrinth a second time?

About the Book:

Gemma, a seventeen-year-old orphan and empath, wants nothing more than to be normal. But after her older sister is killed in a hit-and-run, she discovers she can drain the energy out of any living thing. Fearing she might hurt someone with the faintest touch, Gemma flees from her foster home—guided by a boy she’s dreamed about for years but doesn’t believe is real.

Meanwhile, Theo, the eighteen-year-old astral-projecting leader of a ragtag group of magical misfits, is doing everything he can to protect his found family after he failed to keep his little sister alive. From rummaging through dumpsters for food, stealing from convenience stores, and throwing punches in illegal fighting rings for extra cash, there’s nothing he won’t do to keep the crew safe from the Authorities who are hunting kids like them.

When Gemma shows up in Theo’s world, their dreams become a shocking reality. The problem is that neither thought the other truly existed. Now they have to learn how to trust each other in person, as much as they had in their fantasies, if they want their secrets to remain hidden. What’s worse, Theo didn’t guide her there. Instead, a vengeful entity hell-bent on stealing Gemma’s powers did. She and Theo must work through their grief to banish him or risk losing each other for good. But doing so won’t be easy when kids with powers are being hunted by something far, far worse than a ghost.

In a cruel, contemporary world, can a handful of teens rely on one another to beat the odds?
