Known for his terrible dragon jokes on social media, Brian Rathbone brought some of that same brand of humor to an otherwise serious fantasy adventure with magic, gods & goddesses, and intrigue. Rathbone's experience as a professional horse trainer also comes into play as he explores relationships with creatures with whom you can't fully communicate and whose desires only sometimes align with their companions. A love of reading the best epic fantasy books as a young man inspired Brian to write the kinds of for boys and for girls that he liked reading in his young adult years. Getting older never dampened Rathbone's enthusiasm for a good epic fantasy adventure, and his books are widely enjoyed by readers young, old, and those somewhere in between.

In the two other prequels to The World of Godsland Epic Fantasy Series, Brian Rathbone teamed up with writers Jack McCarthy and Morgen Rich to flesh out story lines that were not fully told in the main series. The collaboration between these writers resulted in three new entry points into Godsland ranging from dark fantasy to fantasy romance and contemporary steampunk adventure with dragons and other monsters.
Ascension focuses on the story of Gwendolin and her journey from simple farm girl to the leader of a powerful order of monks and druids. Along her metaphysical journey, she learns a great deal about her world and herself--some magic must come from within.

Onin explores the history of Onin of the Old Guard and and his dragon, Jehregard. In a world where dragons are bred for size, Onin finds himself standing in opposition to thousands of years of dogma and tradition, as he fights for the life of a dragon no one else would save. There is something different about this dragon--something special. Bearing a "watch eye", like that of a prized horse, Jehregard does everything he can to prove Onin both right and wrong.

Dragon Airways explores a time when magic is a thing of the distant past and technology has come to dominance in its place. In a steampunk, dieselpunk, dragonpunk twist, Dragon Airways shows what happens when a group of misfits put their mind to something. The feral dragons and those who seek to dominate them, have other plans. Airplanes, airships, and battle balloons are no match for dragons and magic, and Emmet knows just how to solve the mystery of where to find them.

These books are suitable for fans of epic fantasy, young adult epic fantasy, steampunk, and paranormal adventures. While the content appeals to older readers, its kept clean to make it accessible to younger readers as well.

Zya's world shatters when a shadow entity murders her father, his dying words and her prophetic dreams of Mt. Shasta propel her into a hidden war she never knew existed, a timeless battle raging between shamanic warriors and malevolent forces that have hunted humanity since the dawn of time.

Thrust into a clandestine training ground deep in the Witch Fire Mountains, Zya discovers she possesses rare gifts that make her both a target and possibly humanity's last hope. Under the guidance of a powerful shaman elder, she learns to harness kundalini energy, commune with spirit guides, and see beyond the veil that separates worlds. But knowledge comes at a price, and every revelation pulls her deeper into a shadow war that spans continents and dimensions.

From a sacred Native American vision quest to the shadowed depths of Japan's infamous suicide forest, Zya must master abilities that defy logic while facing horrors that shatter sanity. Sasquatch guardians emerge from ancient forests as unlikely allies. Skinwalkers stalk her every move, shape-shifting predators born from the dark side. Shadow people lurk at the edges of perception, feeding on fear and chaos.

The Shamanic Awakening weaves Native American spirituality with visceral supernatural warfare, taking readers on a pulse-pounding journey where mysticism meets military precision, where love becomes the ultimate weapon, and where one woman's transformation could tip the scales in an ancient war for humanity's soul.

As arch demons orchestrate humanity's downfall and supernatural entities vie for control of Earth's fate, Zya races against time alongside unlikely allies to rescue trapped souls and prevent an apocalypse that threatens to consume everything she holds dear.

Perfect for fans of supernatural thrillers, shamanic urban fiction, and epic battles between light and darkness.

For those who crave a powerful fantasy story woven with life’s eternal truths.
As the weapons master once said, “Everything you want is on the other side of fear...”

Long ago, a mysterious event known as The Great Forget ravaged the Earth. Magic was born.
Millennia later, a baby with red eyes is abandoned at the gates of a small kingdom tasked with guarding the Pass of Death. The orphan, Chip, is condemned by a spiteful king to a life of misery in the castle kitchens—scorned, unwanted, and cast aside.

In a twist of fate, Chip befriends the princess and catches the eye of the wise wizard Xander, who sees something special in the boy. The wizard sends him to train under the realm’s most formidable mentor, the weapons master, where Chip learns hard-won truths, hones his skills, and prepares for the ultimate test: his coming-of-age quest to the Pass of Death.

There, an ancient evil awaits, and a stunning revelation…

Amid the howling winds of the fabled pass, Chip is about to discover a world far deadlier than anything he ever imagined.

Join him as he learns what lies on the other side of fear…
For he may be humanity’s last hope.

A plucky underdog. A powerful necromancer. And the idiot heroes bent on murdering them.

Kobolds are supposed to run away—it’s what they’re best at. But Jack? Born with a club foot, he’s had to adapt. Resilient and clever, he clawed his way to respectability as majordomo of a premiere subterranean estate. He even found a father figure in the famed necromancer who owns the place.

Life was perfect… until a superband of overpowered do-gooders arrived bent on burglary and murder. These mercilessly righteous warriors of light cannot be beaten, or at least that’s how it looks on paper.

Jack must choose between survival and the people he loves… unless he can somehow defy the stats and find an unconventional solution.

If you like Terry Pratchett, J. Zachary Pike, or Nicholas Eames, you’ll love Majordomo. Buy now, before the price goes up or the murderhobos descend.
