Deadfall: Survivors , by Richard Flunker
“I survived the first end of the world in luxury; hot showers and good food every day. It’s the second end of the world that has me far more worried. I'm safe here, but I must admit, I've grown quite bored. I know what awaits me out there, but its due time I left and checked it out. I am going to write this journal just in case it becomes useful in the future. Luckily for me, zombies can’t read.”
The world thought they had survived a large comet headed for Earth, but were instead left with its contents spreading throughout the atmosphere. As the dead began to rise, the “miracle” quickly turned into a nightmare, and only a few were lucky enough to survive the ensuing apocalypse.
Months after the collapse of civilization, Brian Orbison leaves his refuge in the mountains of North Carolina, driven by boredom and curiosity. He befriends a group of survivors and together with them, strives to survive in this new world. Amidst the desolation, they encounter a dark cult intent on discovering the location of Brian’s secret mountain hideout while attempting to overthrow what remains of the American government.
But none of those things compare to the fact that around every corner, the dead wait, driven by a single minded devotion to destroy all human life. It will take all they can muster in order to survive the Deadfall.
Inexperienced Mage (The Reawakening Saga) , by D. W. Jackson
Thousands of years after the Fae Wars, magic is now a thing of legend, and the once great empire is reduced to hundreds of separate countries. Farlan, a rich and powerful Queendom, is one such country where men are treated as second class citizens, and often sold into slavery at an early age. Mark, a young man, has been trained since his childhood to be one of the most sought after slaves produced by the academy. At auction he is purchased by the queen, but on his way to the capital, they are attacked, allowing him to escape before he is permanently branded. During his escape he comes across a dilapidated tower, finds a book of magic, and starts his own self tutelage. Learning he has a talent for magic, he makes his way to the capital to see if he can make his own path while holding onto his freedom along the way.
The Serf and the Soldier , by Holly Law
The Corscan Empire is rapidly expanding as all allied countries of Brogden are seized in unspeakable bloodshed. Their soldiers are described as creatures forms wielding blazing swords and unknown magical weapons. The only mercy shown is to Corscan prisoner brides claimed on the battlefield as trophies of war. Brogden's fate seems sealed as Elara, a serf's daughter, finds herself ambushed while unwillingly escorting a noblewoman to the capital for her safety. Suddenly pulled onto a Corscan soldier's horse, she confronts the childhood tales of "better to die than be a prisoner bride" as a terrifying reality.
