Hælend’s Ballad
“Ian Conrey creates a fantasy that borrows from steampunk, forging a thought-provoking and richly constructed war story.”
—Lorehaven on Oct 22, 2021

The Pirate Princess
“K. R. Martin darts between a love story and political intrigue, until The Pirate Princess parries and lunges into a perfect conclusion.”
—Lorehaven on Oct 15, 2021

That Pale Host
“That Pale Host slips through the walls of time, exposing spectral groanings too deep for words and the hope of healing that often lingers just out of reach.”
—Lorehaven on Oct 8, 2021

Crown and Creed
“Laura VanArendonk Baugh’s saga deepens political and romantic intrigues among a richly unique fantasy world and compelling cast of characters.”
—Lorehaven on Oct 1, 2021
