A Valley of Shadow by Lee Patton

A Sword and Sorcery set in the world of Enostran.

For the undead warriors of The Call, existence is punishment, and defiance means death. Izrak Laav, a mercenary bound to serve the lords of Enostran, is tasked with hunting down a rogue warrior in the haunted forests of Shuvo. But when he crosses paths with Elishei, a mysterious girl fleeing dark pursuers, his mission spirals into something far more dangerous. Burdened by a secret that could doom them both, and challenged by an ancient spirit intent on redemption, Izrak must face the ghosts of his past—and learn that even the dead have something left to lose.

Ashen Rider by James D. Mills

An Epic Fantasy set in the world of Dusk and Dawn.

When her mother is claimed by Death a second time, Kateryna is forced to abandon her afterlife and descend into Pandemonium—a shattered underworld shaped by pain, memory, and buried sin. To save her mother’s soul, she must join forces with her estranged father, whose devotion to a fallen goddess set this all in motion. Hunted by Morgana, the Goddess Corrupted and her chosen griffin-riders, Kateryna must journey through the shadows and confront the reality of her own dark past—because in Pandemonium, death is only the beginning.

Ithica’s desperate wish for a child will never come true—but she doesn’t know why.

When seemingly endless winter and famine threaten to destroy The Village in the Shins, Ithica discovers she can grow abundant harvests, even through the coldest months.
