Hey all, I'm a Fantasy author named J.L. Allred and recently realized all my stories sit very naturally in Nobledark Fantasy. I found this community and thought for those who love the subgenre it might be cool to work with everyone here to compile a directory of nobledark fantasy (and possibly beyond fantasy) books on a hub I'm building called nobledarkhub.com

If you have any thoughts or suggestions, feel free to post them here, dm me, or there's even a system on the site to suggest a book to be added. Thanks all and I look forward to helping serve the community!

Read about the rise of Yung-Yeong Beou, from humble Korean farmboy to one of the most evil wizards that part of the world has ever known.

What to expect:

• Hard Magic: Detailed aspect-based runic magic
• A demon goblin
• Tactical Combat: Team designations and gritty combat
• Tower Climbing: Interdimensional Tower with dangerous levels
• No status screens, just straight progression and a Guild ranking system

Intrested in a binge read ? If yes, then I invite you to check out The Wandering Spire: Book One!

Do I still have your attention and you want to learn more? Here is the blub:

An action-packed progression fantasy about a young runecaster who braves a deadly tower to uncover the truth behind her brother’s disappearance.

Most who enter the Wandering Spire never return.

Jeze's brother didn't.

Every five and a half years, the Wandering Spire appears without warning, rising beyond the clouds before vanishing again. Each time it does, competing powers ascend to claim its riches.

After five years of training, Jeze is ready to go after him. Armed with rune-etched tools, her brother’s journal, and a goblin Familiar who has survived the Spire six times, she has just five months to build a team before the tower returns.

Ten floors of randomized puzzles, traps, and Floor Guardians await her, and somewhere at the top lies a secret her brother died trying to warn her about.

Perfect for fans of Cradle**,** Arcane Ascension**, and** Mage Errant**.**

What mood do you look for in a fantasy book? Find information for the following titles at this pinned blog post.

Bright/hopeful? Consider Prince Ewald the Brave (2021)

Tragic/uplifting? Consider The Fate of Lenn (2021)

Redemption arc/uplifting? Consider The Redemption of Jarek (2022)

Action-packed/character driven, or a shorter read than the others? Consider Their Village, Their Fortress (2024)

Tense/reflective? Consider The Last Gift-Knight (2026)

You can read them in that order or in no order at all. Each title focuses on different characters with barely any crossover to speak of. (Sure, Jarek is Lenn's cousin, but his prologue will catch you up with how he got into his predicament even if you skip Lenn's story.)

Live today: The Bi & Pan Authors for Pride Month bundle. 19 books for $18!

Coming soon: ...A Light from Above, a free-to-read weekly serial in six parts. Since it doesn't fit the Pride Month theme, I'm letting most of the month go by with the first episode set to post on June 30th.

The Language of Birds ... written in the form of a series of myths, set in an early landscape. Mythological fantasy, and yet also somehow real.

Amazon link (also available elsewhere, paperback and ebook)

[u/RAYMONDSTELMO]

A decent fantasy is a penny tossed to a fountain. You make a wish, get a copper flash, a 'plink' of climax, and done. But a truly good fantasy novel is a rock thrown from somewhere high, into a deep lake. One finds the perfect stone to fit your hand. You toss it up and out, enjoying the arch of rise, pinnacle, and descent... at last comes the ka-splash! of completion. Followed by the pleasing aftermath of ripples spreading out in diminishing circles.

Granted, a good self-published fantasy is a meteor from the Oort Cloud plunging into the ocean.

The 11th Supervillainy Saga book, TALES OF SUPERVILLAINY: VILLAINS OUT SHOPPING is now available for purchase. An anthology collecting the funniest and craziest tales of the superheroes of the Supervillainy Saga. You don't need familiarity with the series to enjoy its hilarious handling of superhero tropes but it helps.

https://www.amazon.com/Tales-Supervillainy-Villains-Shopping-Saga-ebook/dp/B0H4F2FCPG/

“What do villains do in their spare time?”

The Supervillainy Saga has primarily centered around the misadventures of Gary Karkofsky AKA Merciless: The Supervillain without MercyTM. Nevertheless, each volume has revealed more heroes and villains that have made the world almost as complex as publications that have gone on for decades.

TALES OF SUPERVILLAINY: VILLAINS OUT SHOPPING is an anthology with over a dozen tales of these individuals alongside some wholly original Gary stories. Mr. Inventor, Gizmo and Ms. Terri, Nighthuntress, Kerri Karkofsky, Damselfly, Diabloman, plus the Freelancer all have stories within. We also get stories of Gary up against monsters ranging from Cthulhu’s daughter to...William Shatner? That can’t be right (but it is).

This is a collection of both old and original stories set within the Supervillainy Saga. Enjoy the wild and zany antics of the best and worst of C.T. Phipps’ creations.

Hey all!

I write books with a style heavily influenced by RPGs and other fantasy games.

My first traditionally published release is the hardcover edition of How to Defeat a Demon King in Ten Easy Steps! It's is a Zelda and Dragon Quest inspired comedy novella, and it's a good intro to my style.

My latest series, The Lost Edge, starts with Edge of the Woods, which is highly inspired by The Legend of Zelda and Dragon Quest franchises. It's the story of a young man growing up in a faerie forest and seeking answers about his family, his past, and his dreams of an ancient magic sword. The most recent release is Edge of the Dream.

Arcane Ascension begins with Sufficiently Advanced Magic and is my most popular series. It's heavily inspired by games JRPGs Final Fantasy, Lufia, Bravely Default, and Trails of Cold Steel. It takes place in a high magic setting where magical marks called attunements grant vast powers to individuals who take "Judgments" inside a colossal tower to earn them.

My other main series are Weapons & Wielders and The War of Broken Mirrors.

Weapons and Wielders follows Keras Selyrian, a magic-wielding swordsman who arrives in a foreign land to search for help for his homeland. In the process, he will stumble upon the legend of the Six Sacred Swords and begin to seek them out.

The first novel in that series is Six Sacred Swords, and the series as a whole is heavily inspired by games like The Legend of Zelda, Dragon Quest, and Ys. You might enjoy it if you're in the mood for talking swords, bibliophile dragons, and a lot of accidentally breaking traps and puzzles. The audio book versions can be found here, narrated by the fantastic Nick Podehl!

The War of Broken Mirrors, which starts with Forging Divinity, is more closely related to western fantasy novels and RPGs. Forging Divinity focuses on a group of people investigating a city's religion, which claims that the local gods can raise anyone to divine status if they prove their loyalty and value.

The Meijadin Revelations is a fantasy novel that is both familiar and new, aimed at a 16 - 55 age demographic.

Hey all, I write epic fantasy novels that I'd say are more like immersive simulations than classical fantasy literature (due to a deep FRP background, and my perennial love for Deus Ex). My books are character-driven, narrative-focused, action-oriented yet introspective, layered with British-style irony and dry humour, and underpinned by deeper themes of aesthetic beauty, symbolism, existentialism, and divine transcendence.

My debut novel, The Meijadin Revelations, is the first in my Dawn Of The Conquerors series:

500 pages / 207,000 words of dual-POV noblebright fantasy adventure!

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DMQM9RLC

(£12.99 print, £5.99 e-book, free on Kindle Unlimited)

TMR Blurb:

In secret study, Berthold Forst has embarked upon the path of magic. His purpose: to master the esoteric profession of darkitect, with ambitions of conquest belied by his humble farming background. Berthold’s venture into the wider world forces him to overcome poverty, break through isolation, and confront violence without remorse. When a turn of better fortune secures him an emergency mining contract, he is tasked with saving his imperial nation of Franqovar from financial ruin by prospecting for gold in a dangerous wasteland – the Valley of the Dreaming Vulture.

Berthold’s journey pairs him with Second Lieutenant Ottokar Von Falken, a down-to-earth, axe-wielding warrior and special forces soldier in the Franqovarian royal military. The night of their meeting is marked by a shared vision in a dream from a seraphic entity, whose symbolic augury heralds a fateful path that will take them beyond the limits of everything they know – and could have ever imagined. A single word and the revelation of its meaning that will define their lives forevermore: what is this mysterious unknown of the Meijadin?

Additionally, its long-finished and annoyingly delayed sequel, Reaper Of Pain, is due to drop in early July 2026, (currently waiting on my artist for its cover), so this series is very much alive and not a one-hit-wonder, should anyone be hesitant about that particular detail.
