Ingolf von Dirchs is all that remains of the royal house of Kria. The bastard son of the dead Kaiser, he barely escapes the winter palace before it is overtaken by the armies of Salhara, Kria’s oldest and bitterest enemy. In a last desperate attempt to combat Salhara’s deadly magic, Ingolf flees to the country of Illussor, there to steal the sword of a man who once betrayed Kria to side with Illussor. But stealing the sword gains him something he did not expect—the descendant of that long ago Betrayer, an intriguing man with the pale features of an Illussor but the fierce heart of a Krian…


Erich von Adolwulf is the proud descendant of the Holy General, a man who helped Illussor break free of the loathsome magic upon which they once so heavily relied… When the sword of the Holy General is stolen, Erich goes to reclaim it, and finds himself dragged into the country his ancestor once betrayed—and wanting to protect the new Kaiser of war-ravaged Kria, who stirs in him things he has not felt since the death of his lover…

Mervyn is accustomed to the unusual and strange. People of all walks come to him with problems that only magic can solve. A wizard of no little skill, he enjoys the challenges that come with his job and that he can offer help to people who have nowhere else to go. Even fairies, long abused by wizards for the special energy they can provide, find their way to his door.


But when Callisto, a terrified and maliciously attacked fairy, shows up to ask for his help, he presents a challenge that even Mervyn has never encountered before—instead of a heart, Callisto has only an inadequate charm—a charm that will kill him in a matter of days if Mervyn does not find a solution.

Stop by our ebook market to scope our latest ebook, Midsummer Law by Megan Derr. This book is the third in Derr’s Midsummer series, so be sure to check out Midsummer Moon and Midsummer Curse.

Being Sheriff is a hard job, even in a town like Midsummer. The law is the law, and when magic is thrown into the mix, everything gets more complicated. Kirby is lonely and worn out, and his latest unpleasant duty is contacting the brother of a recent suicide. Given the complications surrounding the tragedy, and just how loathed the deceased man was in Midsummer, meeting his brother is not something Kirby is any hurry to do.


But when he arrives, Merry is nothing like his deceased brother—nothing like anything Kirby has seen in a long time, and quite possibly a reason to feel things Kirby thought he’d never feel again.

Bad Moon Rising

Less Than Three Press is pleased to announce open submissions for our new anthology, Bad Moon Rising:

Superstition abounds where the moon is concerned. It can bring love, luck, madness, misfortune, pleasure, and pain. Nothing is left untouched by the waxing and waning of the moon. Those forced to shun the day welcome the light of the moon and work their magic beneath her gaze.

Of all the myths and legends, superstitions and old wives tales, no lunar legend is as well-known as those surrounding the wolves. A deadly bite, a family curse, an old story to frighten children, a local myth, a penance paid for old sins. An heirloom, a trinket, a painting, a crossing of paths—the permutations are endless. Give us your tales of wolves, of moonlight, of what can happen when the old tales turn out to be true…

Check out the submission guidelines here.
