Fantasy, Lore, & More: Curse Breaker Jousts

Fantasy, Lore, & More with Chaos Reigns

Hi, I’m indie fantasy author, Melinda Kucsera, and in this episode, I’m talking about my book, Chaos Reigns. What’s it about? THE APOCALYPSE ISN’T STALLED ANY MORE, AND THE WRATHS ARE JUST GETTING STARTED. Sovvan thought capturing a couple of wraths meant she’d finally have time to figure out how to lock them up permanently and find the rest. But the wraths have other plans. A desperate summons pulls her back to Mount Eredren because her family is in danger. Old enemies captured her nephew, and they’re forcing his father to destroy the city. Worse still, their guardian angels are nowhere in sight and that includes Misriah, her mentor and friend. Misriah isn’t just missing—she is being hunted. Conquest, a fiercely intelligent, manipulative wrath, is searching for a worthy rider to help him bring the world to its knees. He preys on her deepest insecurities, isolating her from her friends to forge an unbreakable bond. With her family in danger and her mentor gone, Sovvan can’t rely on anyone else to fix things. She must use her wits, her new powers, and her indominable will to save her family and get some protection for them, so she can hunt down the remaining wraths before they go after her family. Chaos Reigns is the thrilling next chapter in the Riders of the Apocalypse story arc. If you love immersive epic fantasy books, magical battles, and characters who refuse to play by the rules, then this is the book for you.

Fantasy, Lore, & More with The Solarian Deep

Hi, I’m indie fantasy author, Melinda Kucsera, and in this episode, David Deane Haskell, joins me to talk about his book, The Solarian Deep. What’s it about? Below the city’s light, at the edge of the abyss where sentinels don’t go, Calistya sees a boy. No oxygen rig. No surgical scars. No implants. Just skin, and something about him that shouldn’t be possible. He shouldn’t exist. Then he’s gone. When her best friend Khrystal vanishes into the abyss chasing the same impossible truth, Calistya faces a choice: stay safe inside a city that was never quite home — or dive deeper than her gear was ever designed to reach. Down in the dark, she’ll discover that evolution didn’t wait for surgery. And whatever came first is still down there. Watching.

Fantasy, Lore, & More with The Fifth Commander

Hi, I’m indie fantasy author, Melinda Kucsera, and in this episode, Joshua Olivieri is joining me to talk about his debut book, The Fifth Commander. What’s it about? When the hero chosen by the divine becomes a tyrant, who is strong enough to kill him? The Alkatharos, Valazar’s prophesied savior, has ruled for five centuries. However, peace is but a memory for its people. A rebellion gnaws at the borders of His Lordship, and whispers of a traitor within His walls turn fear into panic. Gallen Tramore, the feared Fifth Commander of the Alkatharos, is sent to expose and slay the traitor. What he uncovers instead is a betrayal that shatters his faith in his master, his home, and his comrades. To discover the truth, Gallen commits a crime worthy of death: abandoning his post. Now declared a traitor, Gallen is hunted by those he once bled alongside. Caught between centuries-old vendettas and a forbidden power that should’ve stayed buried, Gallen must decide where his loyalties lie and if he is strong enough to defy an immortal legend.
