I've tried that - it still won't let me buy US ebooks. I suppose I can set up a US-based account for that one, but...

Race the Sands by Sarah Beth Durst is $2.99 on Amazon.com
A standalone fantasy novel, partly about racing monsters.

Life, death, and rebirth—in Becar, who you are in this life will determine your next life. Yet there is hope—you can change your destiny with the choices you make. But for the darkest individuals, there is no redemption: you come back as a kehok, a monster, and are doomed to be a kehok for the rest of time.

Unless you can win the Races.

After a celebrated career as an elite kehok rider, Tamra became a professional trainer. Then a tragic accident shattered her confidence, damaged her reputation, and left her nearly broke. Now, she needs the prize money to prevent the local temple from taking her daughter away from her, and that means she must once again find a winning kehok . . . and a rider willing to trust her.

Raia is desperate to get away from her domineering family and cruel fiancé. As a kehok rider, she could earn enough to buy her freedom. But she needs a first-rate trainer.

Impressed by the inexperienced young woman’s determination, Tamra hires Raia and pairs her with a strange new kehok with the potential to win—if he can be tamed.

But in this sport, if you forget you’re riding on the back of a monster, you die. Tamra and Raia will work harder than they ever thought possible to win the deadly Becaran Races—and in the process, discover what makes this particular kehok so special.

This is a serial space opera co-authored by Yoon Ha Lee, Becky Chambers, SL Huang, and Rivers Solomon. The first season has 10 "episodes". Its price on Serial Box is $10.

In the fading light of a dying star, a soldier for hire searches for a missing refugee ship and uncovers a universe-shattering secret.

Season 1 of Bullet Catcher by Joaquin Lowe is $0.99 on Amazon.com
This is another Serial Box series. A fantasy western.

Imma once dreamed of leaving her isolated desert town and becoming a bullet catcher: an outlaw who can fend off bullets with a bare hand. After all, that’s the cause her brother Nikko died for, and Imma would do anything to keep his legacy alive—especially after losing their parents put them both in an orphanage.

But that was before. Now, the bullet catchers are gone and Imma’s future is as dried up as Sand, the name of the dead-end town she lives in. That is, until a real bullet catcher shows up and everything changes. Determined to learn everything he has to teach her, Imma crosses the treacherous desert in search of a destiny that will mean something. What she finds is a conflict between bullet catchers and gunslingers simmering beneath years of betrayal, corruption, and thirst for power. When everything Imma knows about bullet catchers is called into question, the side she chooses to fight for will determine more than her own fate.

The Silver Scar by Betsy Dornbusch is FREE on Amazon.com

When Trinidad was twelve, his Wiccan parents blew themselves up in an ecoterrorist attack that killed several Christians. Orphaned and disillusioned, he fled his home and his best friend Castile to soldier for the powerful Christian church inside the walled city of Boulder, Colorado.

Fostered by a loving priest and trained by a godless warrior, Trinidad learned the brutal art of balancing faith and war. He is the perfect archwarden, disciplined and devout. But when his Bishop turns up with a silver scar she claims is proof of angelic orders to crusade, Trinidad alone knows her story is a lie. The silver is from a mystical, ancient graveyard called the Barren, a place of healing reached only by Wiccan magic, a place that could turn Christianity on its head.

To accuse her outright would be treason, and gaining proof means committing heresy, both of which would be a death sentence for an archwarden. Instead, torn between the lure of powerful magic, his love for Castile, and his vows to defend the Church, Trinidad secretly conspires with a violent tribe of ancestor-worshipers and a Wiccan coven to stop the crusade. But as everyone he trusts is mired in betrayal and bent on vengeance, he soon realizes no amount of righteousness can stop the slaughter of thousands.
