'Charming and insightful, tender yet honest' C.L. CLARK

One curse. Two destinies. A thousand stolen gods.

ON ONE SIDE OF THE WORLD, Aleya Ana-Ulai is desperate for a chance. Her family have written her off as a mistake, but she's determined to prove every last one of them wrong.

ON THE OTHER, Kirby of Wall's End is searching for redemption. An ancient curse tore her life apart, but to fix it, she'll have to leave everything behind.

Fate sets them both on the path to Nivela, a city once poised to conquer the world with the power of a thousand stolen gods. Now the gates are closed and the old magic slumbers. Dead - or waiting for a spark to light it anew . . .

Two women embark on an epic journey in this Sunday Times bestselling sapphic fantasy with a slow-burn romance inspired by the fall of Rome, from the author of the Frontier and Floating Hotel.

Across the Sand (The Sand Chronicles #2) by Hugh Howey is $2 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)

“Hugh’s imaginative worlds and tales within them never fail to entertain!”

—Andy Weir, New York Times bestselling author of Project Hail Mary

The first original novel from author Hugh Howey in six years, Across the Sand takes us back to the world of Sand, to a far future many generations after a disaster has destroyed civilization as we know it in a gritty post-apocalyptic science fiction epic, where four siblings struggle to build their futures amid the harsh wastes of endless desert.

The old world is buried. A new one has been forged atop the shifting dunes, a land of howling wind and infernal sand.

In this barren home, siblings Conner, Rob, Palmer and Violet daily carve out a future. They live in the shadow of their father and oldest sister, Vic, two of the greatest sand divers ever to comb the desert’s depths. But these branches of their family tree are long gone, disappeared into the wastes beyond, leaving the younger siblings scratching in the dust, hopeful for a better life.

On the other side of No Man’s Land, Anya was born beside the abundant mines knowing her prospects would be to marry, have a family, and work in ore, in service to the dystopian Empire of the East. But when an atomic bomb delivered by a stranger destroys most of her town—murdering all her friends and community—she follows her father to a strange land of dunes to bring vengeance to their enemies in a desperate revenge plot.

In this sprawling family saga, two families collide across the sand, and nothing for a thousand dunes will ever be the same.

USA. Those titles are the ones that caught my eye at Amazon, and while I tried to be thorough, there is an outside chance I missed one or two (some of his other popular titles, such as Snow Crash and Anathem, are not on sale). I checked one or two of the ones I listed at Kobo USA and B&N USA and saw they were also on sale there, but cannot confirm all of the titles on my list are (but let's assume, probably).

Gods Behaving Badly by Marie Phillips is $2 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)

In this “witty and entertaining” twist on Greek mythology (James Urquhart), the once all-powerful gods find themselves scraping by in a run-down London townhouse as they learn how to be human—and try not to destroy the world in the process.

Being a Greek god is not all it once was. Yes, the twelve gods of Olympus are alive and well in the twenty-first century, but they are crammed together in a London townhouse—and none too happy about it. And they've had to get day jobs: Artemis as a dog-walker, Apollo as a TV psychic, Aphrodite as a phone sex operator, Dionysus as a DJ.

Even more disturbingly, their powers are waning, and even turning mortals into trees—a favorite pastime of Apollo's—is sapping their vital reserves of strength.

Soon, what begins as a minor squabble between Aphrodite and Apollo escalates into an epic battle of wills. Two perplexed humans, Alice and Neil, who are caught in the crossfire, must fear not only for their own lives, but for the survival of humankind. Nothing less than a true act of heroism is needed—but can these two decidedly ordinary people replicate the feats of the mythical heroes and save the world?

It's a bit notorious for not being available as an ebook. People keep asking about it.

I am talking about Regenesis. Goodreads lists it as book four in the series.

I understand. I mean Regenesis is book #2, not #4, since Cyteen is one book, not three.
