Our Bloody Pearl (These Treacherous Tides #1), by D.N. Bryn

Our Bloody Pearl is the first book in the These Treacherous Tides series, by D.N. Bryn, but can be read as a standalone. It’s such a unique book, featuring a non-binary, disabled protagonist, a mermaid who were captured by a pirate captain, so different from the classical image we have for that concrete myth, and which serves as a way of thought of many difficult themes, one of the virtues the fantasy genre has.

A Canticle for the Fallen (Aria of Steel #2), by Steven Raaymakers

A Canticle for the Fallen is the second book in the Aria of Steel trilogy, this coming-of-age epic fantasy series by the kiwi writer Steven Raaymakers. Situated four years after the end of A Canticle of Two Souls, we are going to be following Raziel, being this book darker than the first one, but equally engaging.

Cover Reveal: Gurzil & Badon Hill, by I. Anonymous

I have the pleasure of revealing the new covers for the audiobooks of a saga that is really beloved for me, as its unique retelling of Arthurian myths really made me fall in love with it. Yes, I’m talking about The Wars of Wrath, by I. Anonymous.

Dreamshadow, by Daniel Sonderling

Dreamshadow is an interesting proposal by the American writer Daniel Sonderling. It blends several genres, resulting in a peculiar pastiche, mixing sci-fi, fantasy, and horror. And honestly, it’s so addicting, being a book that I read in almost one sit, but having to slow sometimes because it’s a quite unique novel, with some elements that require you to think about them.

Old Wizards Home (Stories from the Three Kingdoms), by D.G. Redd

Old Wizards Home is the third novel in the Stories from the Three Kingdoms series by D.G. Redd, but as any instance in the series, it can be read as a standalone and without having touched the other books. In fact, I started reading Old Wizards Home, probably because I found it the funniest premise; what I found was a great mix of humour and fantasy, á la Discworld, one of my favourite classic sagas.
