Tower of Light (The Saga of Ashonn the Slayer Book 2) by Darin Calhoun Available March 15

Author: Darin Calhoun

Ashonn is a bad man who does good deeds for the wrong reasons.

He journeys to the farthest reaches of civilization to vanquish the monstrous creatures conjured by the world of magic. With each strike of his blade, countless minions of darkness fall before him. But even as he becomes a legend in his own right, he is never alone. The death priest Zair and his clever raven Aye Not follow in his wake, tasked with collecting his soul when his inevitable downfall comes, for the evil he has wrought.

In the wilds of Carantania, Ashonn and his unlikely allies must flee from a relentless band of bandits, seeking refuge in the desolate Bleistatter Moor. But the haunted landscape is a living, breathing nightmare—a decaying labyrinth of twisted magic and monstrous horrors that will test their every limit.

As they delve deeper into the Moor, they must confront the rogue wizard who has been cast out of The Arcanum for practicing forbidden magic. Guided by an ancient grimoire, the wizard sets his sights on the Tower of Light, an artifact of untold power that he intends to turn into a weapon capable of destroying a god.

The Peddler Princess died three days ago.

Since her passing, a ceaseless wind has lifted itself into the air, wailing day and night, thin like hunger cries. How is everyone ignoring this sound? And do they not smell the scent of her perfume lingering in every room?

No matter. The Peddler Princess was promised that her body would be collected, and now she will make sure that it is done. But as hauntings continue to deteriorate the narrator’s mental state, they also reveal timelines and memories they had locked away for years. Unbeknownst to the Peddler Princess, the narrator’s mother had prophesized her death, warning that the Peddler Princess would be collected by the same voices that took her own mind.

Now, time has started to count down for the narrator themself, wracked by their guilt of watching the Peddler Princess’ parallel passage. Can they find a way out before it is too late? The answer keeps pointing to a house with vacant eye-like windows, an inverted closet, and a faceless woman in white towering above the door frame.

Hand of the Executioner (City of Chains Book 1) by Sebastian Priest Available March 15

Author: Sebastian Priest

Viktor’s life can charitably be referred to as a pile of shit.

As the poor sod forced into being the City of Adelstrad’s chief executioner, he has a lot of enemies. If the criminals aren’t trying to gut him for representing the cruel and insane regime of the incumbent Baron, the nobles are trying to stiff him out of his already pathetic wages and have him starve to death.

Sure, the new Watch Captain is marginally more tolerable than the previous one, but he’s woefully inexperienced when it comes to the seedy inner workings of the most dangerous city in the world, and both the upper and lower crusts have smelt blood in the water.

Whispers of a brewing gang war permeate every breath in Adelstrad, and the smugglers have started to bring something altogether more dangerous than counterfeit goods through the gates. Right now, Viktor will be happy if he can just go a few more weeks without getting a sword stuck in him, never mind getting his boss to agree to a pay increase.

Gaze Long Into The Abyss by Dalan Musson Available March 15

Author: Dalan Musson

In Gaze Long Into The Abyss, acclaimed Marvel Studios screenwriter Dalan Musson plunges us into a vivid but desolate world: An apocalypse has snatched away most of humanity; the ragged, remaining few are picking up the pieces. Was it the Rapture as revealed to St. John, or some other calamity of biblical proportions?

The Kid hears his calling: to find the source of the evil, and put an end to it. He seeks out the help of the Old Man—who, in his own time, traveled to the ends of the Earth and back, in his own vain quest to save the world. Together, they set off across a grim landscape populated by survivors turned brigands, bandits, and exhausted warring factions-all of them looking for answers that may have vanished when their loved ones did.

Written in spare, haunting prose that recalls Cormac McCarthy, Gaze Long Into The Abyss is a classic tale of redemption and damnation, told by one of the foremost action-adventure craftsmen at work today.
