The Backwards Knight sitting on a faded gray deck of wood, next to parchment that reads: "Orn: Not-so-shiny knight. Just wants some answers. On the run from his past. Likes long walks in the forest setting traps for mages. Hankers constantly for potatoes. Will always try to do the rig ht thing, but won't always manage it."

He's a ten, but he's got this really annoying habit of needing to be a hero.

(And, according to Laela, he's *very* stabbable.)

Check it out today and get yourself a classic fantasy adventure with some eldritch horror twists!

Matthew Siadak - The Backwards Knight Cover features art reminiscent of the Art Nouveau movement depicting a knight in funereal pose with his sword who nevertheless does not appear to be dead. A snarky knight, a stabby princess, and a farm boy marked by magic. What could go wrong? 1.99 across ebook vendors, 11 - 13 April.

"The Backwards Knight" by Matthew Siadak

This one seems to have weird Arthurian or LOTR vibes, and I have an abiding love for stories that explore the idea of corruption within a fantastical system.

J. Alexander Cohen - Talio's Codex Cover features a respectable looking fantasy guy with a red-robed figure both looking in a book in a Renaissance-era city. Is love worth destroying his reputation? 0.99 across ebook vendors, 11 - 13 April.

"Talio's Codex" by J. Alexander Cohen

"Legal procedural drama x gay romantasy" is certainly.... a combination 🤔 But I'm rather excited by the fact that the MC seems terrible at both love and law 🤣

The Backwards Knight sitting on a faded gray deck of wood, next to parchment that reads: "Laela: Do not call her princess. Beware the many, many, many, many daggers. Stabs first, asks questions never. Surrounded by the memories of her past. Sus about ducks. Dislikes long walks into the depths of The Paladin's Castle."

She's a 10 but...she's pinning you down and holding a knife to your throat.

(That might make her a 20.)
