The Wandered Lands
where danger coils hidden in beauty’s shadow…

In the desert city of Akhaemunsaar, Rhoye of Khetaine encounters a young woman of captivating charm. Soon deeply entwined in her intrigues, he begins to suspect she may be more than she appears. Who is the mysterious Fillide? And why does she so remind him of his love, lost long ago?

A brand new collection of six heroic tales of the legendary adventurers Rhoye of Khetaine and Astropho of Otalle, featuring:

The Girl with the Fire in Her Hair, a novella of dark romance, of loss and grief, and of strange, seductive magic.

The Spherae of Arkimeddon, where our heroes venture into the tomb of Prince Rhamaxerces to secure an enigmatic artifact. Horrors abound in a tale of high adventure.

The Giant’s Purse, where a seeming peaceful crossing of an ocean strait leads to a brutal clash of tempers and fists.

The Couplet in the Rhyme, a comedy that sees the poet Astropho striving to assist starcrossed lovers, much to Rhoye’s chagrin.

The Eagle and the Dove sees Rhoye become entangled in a duel to the death that will test him to the limits of his ability. Will Rhoye and Astropho’s friendship even survive?

The Thief of Eyes, a tale of chilling horror, with swordplay, spellcraft, daring action, and dark sorcery.

With these six stories across 252 pages, experience the latest high adventures of the Legends of the Wandered Lands.

The Wandered Lands. The crucible where legends are forged…

Atop a sacred mountain a young man discovers himself doomed with the cruellest of curses, ever to wander, never to find rest. So begin his adventures through realms of dark peril peopled with men and monsters both, his purpose unknown to all, save perhaps the Gods themselves.

Man of Swords chronicles the first six adventures of the mighty hero Rhoye of Khetaine, wanderer, wildlander, sellsword, as his legend begins. Contains six thrilling tales of dark heroic fantasy, including:

  • The Eye and the Dragon, where the young hero faces his first trial in the Cave of Rite.
  • The Knight Who Would Not Kneel, where Rhoye becomes unwillingly sworn to a dying king desperate to rescue his realm from monsters.
  • The Devil Out the Wych Elm, where Rhoye is saved from sure death only to face a peril all the greater – what is the strange secret of the old spirit’s tree?
  • The Queen of Scorpions, where Rhoye grapples savage pirates and priestesses of terrible purpose in a chase across the Wild Main.
  • The Ember Nixie, a drunken misadventure in the gambling underworld of a snowbound northern port.
  • The Beast Beneath Druihmkirk, where the only escape from an ancient walled city is through the sewers, through the belly of the beast beneath.

Across these six thrilling adventures of sword and sorcery, of chance and fate, and of great deeds, Man of Swords charts the rise of the newest hero to join the Legends of the Wandered Lands.

Part sword and sorcery, part extreme horror, King of the Bastards is wild adventure across seas, beaches, and mountains full of horrifying monstrosities, dark magic, and demonic entities.

Rogan has been many things in his life as an adventurer — a barbarian, a thief, a buccaneer, a rogue, a lover, a reaver, and most recently, a king. Now, this prehistoric bane of wizards and tyrants finds himself without a kingdom, lost in a terrifying new world, and fighting for his life against pirates, zombies, and the demonic entity known as Meeble. And even if he defeats his foes, Rogan must still find a way to return home, regain his throne, save his loved ones, and remind everyone why he’s the KING OF THE BASTARDS.

“…if you’re one of those people who are always looking for a good, bloody, sword & sorcery tale, then look no farther. KING OF THE BASTARDS has what you want in spades.”

Continuing a great tradition, Chicks ‘n Chained Males is not what you think. That place is down the block, on another street, in another city. In fact, if that’s what you’re looking for one of our Chicks, Helga her name is, will be over shortly to give you a send-off you won’t soon forget. (The term Bouncer takes on a whole new meaning….)

All we have here is a bunch of perfectly healthy babes in brass bras and chain-link bikinis, bearing broad swords and filled with good intentions. Never would such as they stoop to the exploitation of those poor chained males who have suddenly found themselves under their protection and succor. Never would they force those poor boys to do anything they did not wish to do; perish that thought on the nearest sharp blade!

No-no—these chicks are here to rescue these victims of male-abuse from any number of Fates Worse Than Death…. Right here. Right now.

In a future where the people of Earth have managed to somewhat unite under hegemonic governments, the universe has at last been explored and discovered.

Earth-born playboy Moris Keniston arrives in customs, wanting to go surface-side of the mysterious and hostile planet Sovold. Galactic rules dictate that he may not disturb the burgeoning culture, and therefore undergoes a physical transformation to match the one of the peoples on the planet.

With shaved head and skin dyed beige, he dons the green tunic of a Messenger of Zhuvastou, known as Zhogs – a knight to the people of this world – giving him almost free reign to pursue his mission.

He is hunting the beautiful Elaine Dixon, who has fled to this primitive planet for reasons unknown.

Though Keniston is the son of a Galactic Senator, an athlete of interplanetary reknown, and survivor of a historic starship disaster, he finds himself wholly unprepared for life on Sovold.

Only his athlete’s reflexes and history of fencing save him at first. However, in his quest to pursue Elaine, he meets companions that help him grow into the man he is meant to be – and finds his true purpose along the way.

Messenger of Zhuvastou is a roaring adventure in new cultures and brotherly bonding that is sure to satisfy any sci-fi enthusiast.
