Lord Soul
by S. M. Kois
Here’s the set-up:
Charlie Walker is an exceptionally intelligent yet lonely boy, whose life is profoundly altered when his parents bring home Timmy, his new baby brother. Timmy suffers from EB, an incurable illness that causes him to receive horrible wounds from the lightest touch. Charlie is devastated at the thought of the grim prospects little Timmy faces in the future. One evening, he meets a stranger who claims he can help Charlie find a cure for his brother’s illness. Despite believing the man is nothing more than a hallucination caused by the onset of schizophrenia – an illness that runs in his family – Charlie welcomes the company and comfort he provides.
The man starts teaching Charlie about biosciences in order to find the cure for EB and save Timmy’s life. When unexplained events start to occur, Charlie questions whether his secret tutor is a hallucination after all. As time passes, what were initially exciting lessons begin to draw him deeper into the mysterious world of Near-Death Experiences, Souls and the Afterlife, until he is forced to make a decision that will alter the course of his life forever…
‘Lord Soul’ explores intriguing questions that have fascinated humans throughout history, such as what is consciousness, what happens to the mind when the body dies and what is the true purpose of life.

Willowers (Wood Cow Chronicles Book 4)
by Rick Johnson
Here’s the set-up:
In this stunning conclusion to the Wood Cow Chronicles, the struggle to overturn ancient injustice will succeed or fail depending on what happens when enslaved dragons are released to act in freedom. The rediscovery of long-lost wonders holds the key to the final death of tyranny and the dawn of lasting peace. The way forward is anything but clear, however…
The High One has fallen, taking age-old tyranny with him, but the Hedgelands is in chaos as the new Council struggles toward a new society. Wrackshee slavers have not given up the game, and move to exploit the disorder and preserve the old system. When no one seems able to stop the Wrackshee onslaught, Bem Madsoor makes a desperate and dangerous decision—to split her fleet and send a heavily out-numbered band of sea-beasts against the Wrackshees’ fortified camp. Can the rebels face wonders and fears that run counter to everything they know? Simple bravery is not going to cut it this time.
Distant realms are inexorably drawn into the turmoil, and would-be prophets and rebels, warriors and scholars, kings and dragons, discover they are part of a struggle in which they must come together, or lose all.

Mercenary Instinct (The Mandrake Company Series Book 1)
by Ruby Lionsdrake
Here’s the set-up:
Skulking around in the ruins on a planet swarming with treasure hunters, slavers, and bounty hunters isn’t good for one’s health. But Ankari Markovich needs a few archaeological samples for her latest business venture, a venture that might prove lucrative enough to move her family off the impoverished planet where she grew up. Unfortunately, she has no sooner collected her samples than she’s captured by a band of brawny mercenaries. The captain might be handsome, but he’s intent on turning her over to some finance lord who has, for reasons unknown, put a bounty on her head, a ridiculously large one at that. If she can’t figure out a way to escape before she’s delivered to the lord’s home world, she could be forced into a life of indentured servitude—or worse.
Mercenary Instinct is a full-length, stand-alone novel of 90,000 words. It is part of the “Mandrake Company” series of science fiction romance stories and is recommended for readers who enjoy space-based adventure (such as Firefly) and steamy love stories (in the style of Linnea Sinclair).
