Jade City by Fonda Lee is $1.05 on Amazon.com for non-US customers.
It was on sale in US only but now appears to be open to other countries.
I think Amazon.co.uk has a similar sale, if it's not already over.

It won the 2018 World Fantasy Award for best novel, tied with Victor LaValle's The Changling (previously on sale).

This is part 1 in a series. The sequel will be published this year.

Quote:
TWO CRIME FAMILIES, ONE SOURCE OF POWER: JADE.

Jade is the lifeblood of the city of Janloon - a stone that enhances a warrior's natural strength and speed. Jade is mined, traded, stolen and killed for, controlled by the ruthless No Peak and Mountain families.
When a modern drug emerges that allows anyone - even foreigners - to wield jade, simmering tension between the two families erupts into open violence. The outcome of this clan war will determine the fate of all in the families, from their grandest patriarch to even the lowliest runner on the streets.

Jade City is an epic tale of blood, family, honour, and of those who live and die by ancient laws in a changing world.

The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley is $1.99 on Amazon.com.

The prequel, The Hero and the Crown, was available in various Humble Bundles in the past. The events in TH&TC are treated as mythology in Blue Sword. I was waiting for the Blue Sword to be on sale in order to the read the books in publication order, so you might want to do the same (although it's not required to enjoy the story, and some people recommend starting with the prequel)

Something odd here since The Blue Sword
She will ride into battle as a King's Rider, bearing the Blue Sword, the great mythical treasure, which no one has wielded since Lady Aerin herself.

and The Hero and the Crown is the story of Aerin

I edit to add that Wikipedia says The Hero and the Crown serves as a prequel to The Blue Sword

I just started In the Vanishers' Palace, another novella-length retelling of Beauty and the Beast. The author, Aliette de Bodard, describes it as "A dark sapphic retelling of Beauty and the Beast, where an impoverished scholar falls in love with a dragon".

It's on sale (9% off regular digital price!!), so maybe the rules allow me to post about it here

Wowee! They might as well add a label that says 'Don't buy me!' to those books. No offense to Seabury Quinn. But 23.00 per book for a five volume short story collection for an old pulp writer that is less known than Lovecraft, Howard or the sci-fi gods seems nuts.

You are right, but with a little bit of patience you can get them all by 1.99 each, which is better. I already got the Devil's Rosary this way, this is the second, and I'll just wait for the others to go on offer. Sooner or later.....

You've convinced me. The first book was $0.60 earlier this year!

(Side note: ereaderiq seems to be having issues. I can't add books to track, or at least not the Seabury Quinn ones.)
