I'm thinking Mechanique to be somewhat reminiscent of Angela Carter...

Juliet Marillier's newest series, Blackthorn & Grimot

The first 2 books in the Blackthorn & Grim series by fantasy writer Juliet Marillier (known for the Sevenwaters series and Wildwood Dancing) are discounted at Amazon US. Blackthorn & Grim is fantasy involving fairytales in Ireland with a bit of "solving magical mysteries" air, and the first book at least was quite good.

Dreamer's Pool (Blackthorn & Grim #1)
$2.99
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00INIJKKC/
Spoiler:
Award-winning author Juliet Marillier “weaves magic, mythology, and folklore into every sentence on the page” (The Book Smugglers). Now she begins an all-new and enchanting series that will transport readers to a magical vision of ancient Ireland....

In exchange for help escaping her long and wrongful imprisonment, embittered magical healer Blackthorn has vowed to set aside her bid for vengeance against the man who destroyed all that she once held dear. Followed by a former prison mate, a silent hulk of a man named Grim, she travels north to Dalriada. There she’ll live on the fringe of a mysterious forest, duty bound for seven years to assist anyone who asks for her help.

Oran, crown prince of Dalriada, has waited anxiously for the arrival of his future bride, Lady Flidais. He knows her only from a portrait and sweetly poetic correspondence that have convinced him Flidais is his destined true love. But Oran discovers letters can lie. For although his intended exactly resembles her portrait, her brutality upon arrival proves she is nothing like the sensitive woman of the letters.

With the strategic marriage imminent, Oran sees no way out of his dilemma. Word has spread that Blackthorn possesses a remarkable gift for solving knotty problems, so the prince asks her for help. To save Oran from his treacherous nuptials, Blackthorn and Grim will need all their resources: courage, ingenuity, leaps of deduction, and more than a little magic.


Tower of Thorns (Blackthorn & Grim #2)
$5.99
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00SI025PW/
Spoiler:
Award-winning author Juliet Marillier’s “lavishly detailed”* Blackthorn & Grim series continues as a mysterious creature holds an enchanted and imperiled ancient Ireland in thrall.

Disillusioned healer Blackthorn and her companion, Grim, have settled in Dalriada to wait out the seven years of Blackthorn’s bond to her fey mentor, hoping to avoid any dire challenges. But trouble has a way of seeking out Blackthorn and Grim.

Lady Geiléis, a noblewoman from the northern border, has asked for the prince of Dalriada’s help in expelling a howling creature from an old tower on her land—one surrounded by an impenetrable hedge of thorns. Casting a blight over the entire district, and impossible to drive out by ordinary means, it threatens both the safety and the sanity of all who live nearby. With no ready solutions to offer, the prince consults Blackthorn and Grim.

As Blackthorn and Grim begin to put the pieces of this puzzle together, it’s apparent that a powerful adversary is working behind the scenes. Their quest is about to become a life and death struggle—a conflict in which even the closest of friends can find themselves on opposite sides.

Oath of Fealty by Elizabeth Moon (Legend of Paksenarrion Book 1) is currently on sale in the US for $2.99

This series and this book continue on after the events in the wonderful Deed of Paksenarrion trilogy which I highly recommend, I also liked this book but if you haven't read Deed I suggest you do so first.

Doesn't appear to be any discount for either in the UK; this not surprising as the UK rights are held by Gollancz. Mind you, the Glasswrights series seems to be priced at £2.99 per volume for the Gateway editions which is not bad (it could be £4.99+ for the Open Road editions).

X-link to the DRM-free thread for a new StoryBundle:

The Escapist Bundle curated by one of the editors at WMG which produces the Fiction River anthologies contains a mix of backlist and new novels with the theme of escapism, which apparently works out to be mainly sfnal works (and one lone mystery/crime thriller). There's an anthology of pulp-styled stories, three collections of previously-published shorts by award-nominated authors Cat Rambo, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, and Canadian author Rebecca M. Senese, and several new-ish novels by established writers.

And for fans of the BattleTech MilSF gaming franchise, Bundle of Holding is offering the RPG tabletop gamebooks for that.

Beast Master’s Ark

Beast Master’s Ark by Andre Norton & Lyn McConchie, $0.99 at Amazon USA.

Apparently (from some of the reviews) not the best of the series, but it is the only one of the series I don't have, and I've never read it, even in dead tree version, so it was a no-brainer for me.

1 The Beast Master (1959)
2 Lord of Thunder (1962)
3 Beast Master's Ark (2002, with Lyn McConchie)
4 Beast Master's Circus (2004, with Lyn McConchie)
5 Beast Master's Quest (2006, with Lyn McConchie)

In Beast Master and Lord of Thunder, Andre Norton created a memorable character, Hosteen Storm. A Native American soldier for Earth, he barely escaped his doomed home world when the Xic destroyed it. Armed with his soldier's skills, his ancestors' insights, and an uncanny ability to communicate mind-to-mind with animals, Storm is a hero unlike any other in science fiction.

Now, science fiction Grand Master Andre Norton has teamed up with Lyn McConchie to pit Storm against his most dangerous enemy yet: Death-which-Comes-in-the-Night.

It is silent. It leaves no tracks. The only evidence that remains is the perfectly cleaned bones of its victims. And it has developed a taste for humans.

No one has survived an attack yet, and the natives of Storm's adopted planet, Arzor, are moving in on human territory as they try to escape the silent scourge. The already high tensions between Humans and Natives soar, sparking a race against time as Storm attempts to solve the mystery of Death-which-comes-in-the-Night before Humans and Natives clash.

But he can't do it without help from Tani, a genetic engineer from the Ark, a ship traveling space with genetic material from across the galaxy, including the destroyed Earth. But Tani has been poisoned against Beast Masters by her mother. She must conquer her own unreasoning hatred, and awaken the powerful Beast Master in herself, before she and Storm can conquer Death-which-Comes-in-the-Night and uncover the great conspiracy that threatens not only Arzor, but all human-occupied planets.
