Yamada Monogatari: Demon Hunter by World Fantasy & Mythopoeic Award finalist Richard Parks (
ISFDB), a 1st-in-series folklore-based paranormal fantasy novel set in ancient Japan.
In an ancient Japan where the incursions of gods, ghosts, and demons into the living world is an everyday event, an impoverished nobleman named Yamada no Goji makes his living as a demon hunter for hire. With the occasional assistance of the reprobate exorcist Kenji, whatever the difficulty—ogres, demons, fox-spirits—for a price Yamada will do what needs to be done, even and especially if the solution to the problem isn’t as simple as the edge of a sword. Yet, no matter how many monsters he has to face, or how powerful and terrible they may be, the demons Yamada fears the most are his own.

Guinevere, the Legend in Autumn by Persia Woolley (
ISFDB,
Wikipedia), 3rd in her Guinevere Trilogy of Arthurian fantasy, this one originally out from Poseidon/Pocket in 1991. We've previously received the 1st in series,
Child of the Northern Spring, as a
freebie several years ago, so if you got that then, you might like to pick this up now while it's on sale for about 1/5th of what the other books regularly cost and the Kobo contest coupons are still working.
Surrounded by traitors, trapped by destiny, Britain's spirited Queen Guinevere sees that the greatest dangers to Arthur's crown may lie within the walls of Camelot. An undeniable spark ignites between Guinevere and Lancelot, but a powerful enemy puts the Queen's loyalty to the ultimate test.
As the heroes of the Round Table undertake the Quest for the Holy Grail, Guinevere's heartbreaking honesty, courage, and integrity will be challenged by those she loves most.
