I think the best way to face a Monday is with a few Fantasy novels by D.P. Prior.  Now this is how we should start the week. Enjoy!!

The Ant-Man of Malfen (Chronicles of the Nameless Dwarf)
D.P. Prior
4.6 Stars (19 Reviews)
Genre: Fantasy

FREE for a limited time

The first book in the groundbreaking Chronicles of the Nameless Dwarf.

Nils Fargin reckons he’s a big fish in a little pond. After all, he’s son of a guildmaster, ain’t he? But when he arrives at the brigand settlements in the Outlands, he may be a tad out of his depth.

It had seemed a straight forward enough task, leading a dwarf with no name to the wizard Jankson Brau. Plan was to get some information about a bunch of dwarves who’d headed through the Malfen Pass.

Trouble is, the dwarves are the survivors of the recent massacre at the ravine city, Arx Gravis, and Nils’s companion, the Nameless Dwarf, is none other than the butcher they are fleeing from.

Like it or not, Nils’s path takes him to the bandit town of Malfen, where the Nameless Dwarf must confront its terrifying ruler, Shent, the Ant-Man.

The Nameless Dwarf (The Complete Chronicles)
D.P. Prior
4.6 Stars (20 Reviews)
Genre: Fantasy

Thousands have been slaughtered in the blood-drenched streets of their ravine city by one of their own wielding a demonic axe.

The survivors have fled beyond the mountains, heading into a realm haunted by the nightmares of a twisted god.

When Nils Fargin, son of an underworld boss, is hired to find them, he travels with his client to seek the advice of a lowlife mage. With what he learns, he should have asked for more money.

The trail leads them to the domain of the terrifying Ant-Man, who is rumored to eat the flesh of anyone refusing to pay his toll.

And as if that wasn’t enough, it turns out Nils’s client is none other than the Nameless Dwarf, better known to his kind as the Ravine Butcher.

The Nameless Dwarf is an epic tale of remorse and redemption that pits a whiskerless thief, a guilt-driven assassin, a consumptive wizard, and an amnesiac dwarf against the worst imaginings of a craven mind.

But the companions bring troubles of their own, not least of which is an ancient grimoire that leads them inexorably towards a forest of tar and an evil that threatens the existence of an entire race.

The last hope of the dwarves comes from the unlikeliest of sources: a mythical city beneath the waves, an axe from the age of heroes, and the Nameless Dwarf, in whose veins flows the blood of legends.

The Nameless Dwarf: The Complete Chronicles contains all five books of the Chronicles of the Nameless Dwarf, fully revised and including all the original covers and a stunning map of Aethir.

Best Laid Plans (Shader)
D.P. Prior
4.7 Stars (6 Reviews)
Genre: Fantasy

The reavers are swarming and this time their prey is the supreme ruler of the Templum, the Ipsissimus himself.

With Shader dead and his piece of the Statue of Eingana in the hands of Shadrak the Unseen, the threat of the Unweaving of all Creation is one step nearer.

Dr Cadman realizes he’s in too deep and there’s nothing for it but to go on the offensive. If he’s to survive the coming war for the statue, what better allies could he have than an army of the living dead?

As Sektis Gandaw closes in and a clash of cultures threatens the land of Sahul, the philosopher Aristodeus still has ideas of his own that could decide the fate of all existence.

But with the passage to the heavenly realm of Araboth covered by the Abyss, nothing is as it should be. Aristodeus knows that even Shader’s death can be turned to his advantage; after all, it’s a long game, and he holds all the cards.

But even the best laid plans …
