  • The Legend of Vanx Malic: Complete Collection

    M. R. Mathias

    eBook (Mathias Publishing, Nov. 3, 2018)
    What does a rogue bard, a shape-shifting princess, a lesbian barbarian, and a dog-riding elf have in common? There's only one way to find out... (Since book one is in the free Kindle preview, you can start reading now!)The Legend of Vanx Malic is a ground breaking 10 book series, started in 2004. These stories cross racial and sexual boundaries not featured in the fantasy genre very often, before then. The hero, Vanx Malic, is forever caught up in racial turmoil due to the fact he is half-human, and half-Zythian. The two races hate each other for various reasons leaving Vanx shunned and feared over his heritage by almost everyone who learns his secret. His most trusted companion, a lesbian named Chelda understands, for she is looked upon, and shamed in their world, and by her father, in much the same way. They do not cross paths until book three, but the bond of trust they build throughout the rest of the series, while adventuring in some of the most dangerous, magical, places ever written, transcends the lovers, and haters they come across along the way. And those they befriend? Well, they have unique problems of their own that cause them to fit right in. Come see why so many different readers and literary award groups have heralded this series as a winner.To Kill A Witch, the first four The Legend of Vanx Malic novel omnibus, won the 2017 American Book Fest Award for Fiction: Fantasy, and was a 2015 Kindle Book Award Semifinalist. The series received so much attention that the great Larry Elmore, the artist who painted almost every Dungeons and Dragons image you've ever seen, offered the cover for book ten, which went on to win a 2017 Readers Favorite Award. -- Digital Wizard Through the WildwoodA half-zythian bard named Vanx is in chains for bedding the Duchess of Highlake.

Dragon IsleVanx, Trevin, and Darbon, along with Prince Russet and the crew of the Sea Hawk, sail to Vanx's homeland to find an old friend who just might know the wyrm lore needed to make their quest to Dragon Isle seem survivable. Can two High Wizards of the Royal Order hold off the ogres, and the even darker thing that is seeking the Bloodstone? And what will happen on Dragon Isle, where our hero and his friends have become little more than prey under the revealing light of Aur's Moon. FoxwiseDeep in the Lurr Forest, there is a valley called Saint Elm's Deep. This secret valley remains in a perpetual state of spring and hosts the thousands of fae who live there.
