Here Be News

Our new releases

No new releases this week, but next week looks to be a doozy.
Meanwhile, check out the incredible new cover for Nicole Luiken's upcoming release, Soul of Kandrith. It's available for pre-order here. 

As a personal recommendation, if you haven't read Gate to Kandrith, you should definitely check it out.
