Blood Song: Anthony Ryan

 Vaelin Al Sorna was only a child of ten when his father left him at the iron gate of the Sixth Order—a caste devoted to battle. Vaelin will be trained and hardened to the austere, celibate and dangerous life of a warrior of the Faith. He has no family now save the Order.

Vaelin’s father was Battle Lord to King Janus, ruler of the Unified Realm—and Vaelin’s rage at being deprived of his birthright knows no bounds. Even his cherished memories of his mother are soon challenged by what he learns within the Order.

But one truth overpowers all the rest: Vaelin Al Sorna is destined for a future he has yet to comprehend. A future that will alter not only the Realm, but the world.

House of Blades: Will Wight

Simon can only watch, helpless, as his family is killed and his friends captured by enemy Travelers--men and women who can summon mystical powers from otherworldly Territories. To top it off, another young man from Simon's village discovers that he's a savior prophesied to destroy evil and save the realm. 

Prophecy has nothing to say about Simon. He has no special powers, no magical weapons, and no guarantee that he'll survive. But he sets off anyway, alone, to gain the power he needs to oppose the Travelers and topple their ruthless Overlord. It may not be his destiny, but Simon's determined to rescue his fellow villagers from certain death.

 Thousands of years after the Fae Wars, magic is now a thing of legend, and the once-great empire is reduced to hundreds of separate countries. Farlan, a rich and powerful queendom, is one such country where men are treated as second-class citizens and often sold into slavery at an early age. Mark, a young man, has been trained since his childhood to be one of the most sought-after slaves produced by the academy. At an auction, he is purchased by the queen, but on his way to the capital, they are attacked, allowing him to escape before he is permanently branded. During his escape, he comes across a dilapidated tower and finds a book of magic and starts his own self-tutelage. Learning he has a talent for magic, he makes his way to the capital to see if he can make his own path while holding on to his freedom along the way.

Take the Body and Give me the Rest: Julius Schenk

Seth stood and watched the nightmare creature as it tore its past master into bloody shreds and tried not to let the gripping fear show on his face. He could feel the man's life force, his memories, his talents and hard won skills filling his own mind and body, turning him into something much more than the lowly soldier he'd been just mere moments before.
