And oddly enough his website doesn't actually include the links. So to make it easier i've included the Amazon links for both below.

Of Sea and Shadow

[Of Shadow and Sea] (http://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Sea-Elder-Empire-Book-ebook/dp/B00RE68P8C/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1419952365&sr=8-3&keywords=will+wight)

If you haven't already read his works, Will Wight will make all his ebooks free on July 4th on Amazon.

I've seen plenty of recommendations for some of his books on here due to having xianxia elements and I'll definitely take advantage to finally read his books.

Note: you have to be logged in to your Amazon account to "purchase" the ebooks.

Edit

"Sale" is now live, to facilitate buying I'll link Will Wight's list of books on his site with a direct link to Amazon and the first book of each series below.

I fucking loved those books. I also really liked the short story collections that he put out. He just came out with a new series, or I guess two series in parallel.

Boop

I started with Shera's side of the story Of Shadow and Sea and immediately switched to Calder's perspective Of Sea and Shadow. I kept alternating between the two points of view to get the whole story before moving forward. Enjoy reading them! They are worth every penny!

I was lucky enough to be a beta reader for these. He released two books at the same time.

Of Sea and Shadow.

).

They are parallel stories, and honestly, I enjoyed these twice as much as I enjoyed his traveler gate series. Let me know what you all think too.

Legend tells of other books by Will Wight, but those might just be crazy myths.

For real, if you don't mind translated web fiction, check out WuxiaWorld. I wrote Cradle because I was too impatient for new chapters to come out.

Recommendations off the top of my head: A Will Eternal, Desolate Era, Martial World, Coiling Dragon.

Will Wight's Elder Empire series is basically pirates vs. ninjas, with different books showing the pirate and ninja faction perspectives. Of Shadow and Sea is the first one from the ninja side's perspective. They definitely have magical abilities, but I've only read the pirate side so far, so I don't know 100% of the details of how their abilities work.

The same author's Cradle series has a lot of martial arts, but it's less ninja-like and more wuxia/xianxia inspired (think Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon if you're unfamiliar with the genre). I think this is less of what you're looking for than the other one, but it might still interest you.

Steven Kelliher's Valley of Embers has protagonists with elemental magic that is very reminiscent of Avatar: The Last Airbender. It's not ninja-like, but you still might like it.

You'll probably like my own next book, Attuned, which should be out within the next week. It's a JRPG-inspired magical academy novel. Lots of elemental magic, elemental weapons, etc. One of the various attunements - which are magical specializations similar to character classes - is called the "Shadow" attunement and is pretty much a ninja. That is not the main character's attunement, but you do see some of it in action. If you like the idea of reading something that's like a novel version of a Final Fantasy or Tales game, I'd recommend you check this out when it's released.
