Drachengott: Wind by Canberra-born author and Aurealis Award finalist K. J. Taylor (ISFDB) is the 1st novella in their quartet of epic fantasy adventures set in a vaguely Teutonic-sounding magical world that apparently worships some sort of mysterious dragon god (or is it? dun dun dun…), this installment starring a disgruntled local man looking into the death of his brother at the hands of said dragon god's servants, who encounters an enigmatic woman who hides many secrets which may be relevant to his interests, as enigmatic secret-hiding women so often do, free courtesy of publisher HarperCollins Australia's AUS Impulse imprint.
This is the featured Free Book of the Week in the iTunes AU & NZ stores, and seems to be also offered most places worldwide. NB: although this is technically listed as an adult-level fantasy, reader comments seem to suggest it tilts YA-ish, or at least can be easily given to those in that readership category without any major content concerns. Also, don't read the customer reviews unless you really want to be spoilered for the entire outcome of the plot. Currently free @ B&N (also UK), Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK), Kobo & iTunes & Google Play (all available to Canadians) If it happens you like this one and wish to read more, it looks as though the 2nd-in-series novella, Drachengott: Earth, has been marked down to just 99 cents or the local equivalent in many regions and stores worldwide. And this has been the (late!) selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day. Because not only promising-looking new epic fantasy by an award-finalist author, but also promising-looking new epic fantasy with dragons in it, and as TV Tropes likes to tell us, Everything's Better With Dragons. ![]() Enjoy! Description The first in a stunning fantasy quartet from K J Taylor. Wendland is a land of dragons, and of magic. The mysterious Drachengott grants magic to his worshippers - but is he truly a god? Rutger von Gothendorf is only a simple furrier, but he has become his village's local eccentric, thanks to his obsession with the murder of his brother by the Drachengott's servants. He holds onto the vague hope that he will one day have the chance to fight back against them - until one day a mysterious and beautiful woman named Swanhild comes into his life. Rutger is instantly smitten - but Swanhild knows more than she says, and a web of lies and deceit threatens to sour the love beginning to grow between them. And all the while, the Drachengott waits ... Last edited by ATDrake; 08-31-2015 at 02:09 PM. Reason: Typos, typos everywhere! |

The rest of the series is on sale too. The second book in the series, Drachengott: Earth has dropped down to $0.99. Price dropped on the same date (August 23rd) as the first one went free according to eReaderIQ.
Books three and four are $1.99 each, looks like they dropped to that around the first of August. |
