Hey all!
Six Sacred Swords is my latest novel release, and it's currently on sale for 0.99 on the US and UK Kindle stores to celebrate the launch of the audio edition of the book.
For those of you interested in the audio version, you can find it here.
The novel focuses on the adventures of Keras Selyrian, a powerful swordsman who begins a quest searching for the legendary Six Sacred Swords. Stylistically, it's tremendously inspired by Japanese games like Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Ys, and especially The Legend of Zelda. It's also very light, comedic, and optimistic in tone, with a protagonist that leans toward non-lethal combat resolution when possible.
Six Sacred Swords is a spin-off/prequel of my Arcane Ascension series, the first book of which is Sufficiently Advanced Magic. It also serves to connect the Arcane Ascension books with my War of Broken Mirrors books, and has some characters and elements from those as well. You don't need to read any other books to understand this one, but you might understand a few additional references if you do (similar to how Sanderson's cosmere books work, or Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, etc.)
Compared to my other books, this one focuses more on dungeon crawling and adventure. I mentioned The Legend of Zelda as the strongest influence because there's less political stuff here than I usually write, and more of a focus on just traveling around and dealing with strange new places and creatures (whereas my other books probably lean more toward the Final Fantasy side of things).
I hope that people enjoy the book if they decide to check it out!
Starts today! We'll have an AMA here next Friday, and one on the 3rd over at r/books giving a better idea of just how foolish we are. In the meantime: we're a bunch of r/Fantasy authors who've banded together for stuff and things. For those of you who don't want to go through the site (or if my abysmal web design is failing you):
[Strangely, like four of us are under Asian Myths and Legends.]
(Rest assured, we use only free-range ghouls.)
Also worth noting that Valley of Embers and A Star-Reckoner's Lot are part of /u/Hiugregg's Reading Resident Authors club. Ashe aims to have readers tackle Demon Haunted, which is the sequel to A Demon in the Desert, but stands well enough on its own. Still wouldn't hurt to have read the first book!
I would definitely suggest reading the following from the same author:
Both of these deal with some of the things going on in the world as a whole. They also introduce characters important to the story in Weapons and Wielders Book 1 - Six Sacred Swords (Goodreads | Amazon/Audible) which is the follow-up series to Arcane Ascension.
Book three of War of Broken Mirrors is slated to come out soon, according to the Author, he's aiming for a September release.
The Dagger and the Coin, this, Exhalation and The Truth of Fact, the Truth of Feeling by Ted Chiang, Unsong (once it's finished), /u/FarmerBob1's stories (reply with what works you're comfortable having on the list), Baby Blues and Pay Attention by /u/eaglejarl, The Whispering Earing and The Last Temptation of Christ and The Girl Who Poked God with a Stick by Yvain (and others I don't have the time to find, like that one where someone is confused into being unsure whether their life was or wasn't a simulation by changing beings wearing lab coats), Accelerando by Charles Stross (he has other rational works, too, I think), David's Sling and Earthweb by Marc Steigler, The World of Null-A and The Players of Null-A by A.E. van Vogt, /u/DataPacRat's works (reply with what works you'd like listed if any), David Brin's Reality Check (he has others I think), A Succession of Bad Days by Graydon Saunders, Fargo by an unknown published author, Crystal Society, The Time Traveler's Wife - /u/alexanderwales can say if it's rational, Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson (I think he has other rational works but can't say which), Kindred by Octavia Butler, (/u/S3Prototype297, is Perjure rational?), Untitled Superintelligences Story by Scott Siskind, The War of Broken Mirrors series by Andrew Rowe, Eden Green by Fiona van Dahl, "Tower" by Alicorn, "The Simple Truth" by Eliezer.
That's me trawling through the threads with 20+ positive votes from the subreddit, through the monthly threads and the Q2 recommendation thread, and rational reads for original written fiction. Fargo is the sole exception because it's basically its own book and doing so might entice the author to add their own works to the list. I did this as original fiction isn't as exclusive as fanfiction and thus more likely to attract existing and new readers to the genre, and I expect others will recommend worthy fanfiction.
The Crimson Queen was just announced as a semifinalist yesterday, and I noticed it's currently up on Prime Reading, along with /u/Salaris book Forging Divinity.
Mate is this your book? I think I'll get an ebook version now if it is.
Let's hope the sequel will bring you peace of mind. If you like books with a lot of mages and a generally positive vibe, I could recommend forging divinity to you for later: http://www.amazon.com/Forging-Divinity-Broken-Mirrors-Book-ebook/dp/B00TKFFR36
I got it from a recommendation here and was happy with the outcome.
I'll have to check this out when they see themselves in a book. My first book, Forging Divinity, is about a bisexual woman, but the main character in most popular fantasy, but it's well worth a read.
