A typhoon’s wrath can be weathered with friends. Olenka is running away, and nothing is going to stop her: not monks, not monsoons, not even the crushing depths of the ocean itself. For too long she’s been dreaming of a life on the high seas, somewhere far beyond the temple’s suffocating walls. A sirena’s life filled with mystery and adventure and freedom. But freedom comes at a price. As Olenka quickly learns, the bustling boardwalks of Sotay Wharf harbor more than silks and spices. Wicked things haunt these waters: hungry sharks searching for careless minnows. If she’s going to have a chance of navigating these treacherous straits, she’ll need a crew. An experienced crew. But experience also comes at a price. Clueless and afraid, Olenka stumbles into Daisay, a fast-talking sirena captain, and her ragged band of almost-pirates. With the temple’s bushi tracking her on one end, and a ship of kaizo hunting her on the other, are Daisay’s seasoned spears just the help she needs to survive? Or will the crew’s checkered past add another weave to the net already closing in around them? What readers are saying about Kindred Straits: "I enjoyed the story telling and all the characters.

Harrowing Echoes

By: Benjamin Schwarting

The demon armies have returned, and the world was not prepared to face them. Each bearing a piece of the sacred light, Corin and Olenka have finally found the power to defend their people. But the demon scourge is spreading fast, and there are few places of refuge left in the endless storm. Very soon, there may be no one left to save amid the breathless hordes of infected. Unless the world can come together. But the stone giants of Shan Zhong are not easily swayed. Now Corin must prove himself to the children of the mountains, a race so ancient that they remember the first yokai calamity… …as well as Vallin’s failure to end it. To the south, Olenka races from the safety of the sacred city to rescue a doomed fleet on a sick sea, but help is hard to come by on the blackened tides of a tainted ocean. Should she place her trust in her own finite strength, or in the bloody hands of pirates who claim noble intent? Either way, the future is filled with the harrowing echoes of the past. What readers are saying about Harrowing Echoes: "Benjamin Schwarting continues his engaging coming of age fantasy! A well written story...the characters and world are well fleshed out and interesting. I look forward the next series from Benjamin!" — Nemesis Reviews on Goodreads

Tainted Vessels

By: Benjamin Schwarting

Their scent is on the wind. Their blood is in the tides. They are coming. Wrongly accused of treason, Corin has been imprisoned by the very city he fought to save. With his brother murdered, his family disgraced, and the demon storm surging ever closer across the plains, Corin must place his faith in two unfamiliar guards who claim to be able to smuggle him to the outlands. But time is growing short, and the storm is drawing near. Having salvaged the ancient armor from the very jaws of Naraka, Olenka and her crew have returned to Lunsod sa Dagat. Unable to deny her prophetic visions any longer, Olenka has grudgingly agreed to confront the monks. Now, she has been whisked back into the life of rites and relics she abandoned in her youth. And she has foreseen a new calamity rising up from the abyss. With nothing left to hold back the coming blight, Corin and Olenka must race to find the strength to defend their people. Three hundred years after the ancient hero first repulsed the demon armies, can they too learn what it takes to bear the light? Or will they be proven weak and tainted vessels? What readers are saying about Tainted Vessels: "Beautiful characters, excellent worldbuilding. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a creature feature. There are no humans! But a lot of humanity." — Jack Adkins, author of the Dragons of Dorwine series "I was quite impressed. [Benjamin Schwarting's] storyline is solid. His characters are well fleshed out. His world building is quite outstanding." — Bookbub Reviewer "Benjamin Schwarting continues his engaging coming of age fantasy! ...The dual POV works great, the races are interesting, characters well developed, and the plot moves at a good pace. I look forward to book 3 in the Sum of Ages series!" — Nemesis Reviews on Goodreads "I enjoyed the first book (Fated Blight) and anxiously awaited this sequel...This coming-of-age fantasy is about more than complex societies, different cultures, and deep friendships. Family ties, concern for one’s fellow man, loyalty, and thinking creatively to solve problems...Can’t wait for more of this" — Amazon Reviewer

Fated Blight

By: Benjamin Schwarting

Their scent is on the wind. Their blood is in the tides. They are coming. Three years ago, Olenka rejected her place of privilege among the clergy, carving out a new life for herself as a sirena of the Great Sea. But when she begins seeing bleak visions of a gruesome future, she is forced to reconsider the dogma of her youth. They are nearly here. Given his outlander heritage, Corin's only wish was to stay out of trouble. He grew up hearing the songs of Vallin, and the campfire rumors of unseen horrors stalking the plains, but they were never more than shallow words on superstitious tongues. But then one breached the city. In a city split by fear, and on a sea scarred by plague, Olenka and Corin must learn to listen to the mysterious voice whispering to their hearts and face an age of blight that is destined to be repeated. Repeated, because it never truly ended. What readers are saying about Fated Blight: "Emersive, clean fantasy...I had never heard of the author before I read this book, and I was so pleasantly surprised." — Jack Adkins, author of the Dragons of Dorwine series "Benjamin Schwarting writes an engaging coming of age fantasy! ...I look forward to book 2 in the Sum of Ages series!" — Nemesis Reviews, Goodreads "I was not expecting it to be one of my favorite books this year, however, I was pleasantly surprised by the world building... I fell head over heels for both the male and female leads in this book! I am so ready for book two." — Devan Hornsby, Goodreads "Absorbing Fantasy...The world building was extensive as the author created complex societies and complicated cultures...I liked these characters." — Amazon Reviewer "I was never a fan of fantasy. But this was recommended to me so I gave it a shot... It kept me engaged and eager to continue." — Audible Listener "Amazing...I would highly recommend this book to anyone that is a fan of the fantasy genre." — Audible Listener
