This list is the twelfth I’ve published. That means I’ve been doing this thing for a whole year. The good news is I intend to keep going so I’ll continue to keep you all up to date on the latest self published fantasy releases… or at least the ones that I hear about. 😀
And if you would like to be kept up to date with the upcoming lists, please subscribe to my newsletter by clicking this link. I don’t send out letters too often, pretty much once a month when this list goes out… and occasionally if I release a book or something.
As always, this is not a comprehensive list, but only includes all the books I have heard about so far.
If you have a fantasy novel you are self publishing in November, let me know either in the comments, or by emailing me, and I shall add it to the page. There are but 3 requirements:
1) It must be a self published fantasy novel.
2) It must have a Goodreads page.
3) It must have a cover.
29th October – Steel and Valor (The Silent Champions #3) by Andy Peloquin
A hunt for a traitor. A desperate search for salvation. An uncovered secret that could destroy everything they hold dear.
Victory over an unstoppable barbarian horde and the salvation of an allied clan are distant memories for Aravon and his Grim Reavers. Now, they have a single objective: unmask the turncoat selling vital information to the enemy, and bring to justice the one guilty of murdering Aravon’s mentor and surrogate father.
The noble quest throws the specially-trained champions directly in the path of a rampaging force of ruthless enemies. Scrambling to defend a precarious position, Aravon and his companions must rely on the courage and skill of mysterious masked warriors guarding a secret treasure.
But even with their forces bolstered, the soldiers have little hope of survival…much less victory.
Can Aravon defeat overwhelming odds to protect his people, or is his mission doomed to end in failure and death?

End of the world? It’s whatever. Ace was born in the trenches. He’ll put them all back in the grave if that’s what it takes to see his son again. And if the gods themselves intervene? He’ll dig a grave for them, too…
