Secrets & Spires is an NIEA Finalist!

Secrets & Spires is a National Indie Excellence Award Finalist! 4 Horsemen is so excited to have Dominic N. Ashen receive this acknowledgement for Secrets & Spires – Book 3 in the Steel & Thunder series. This is such an amazing adventure with Khazak and David! If you have not started you need to dive in and catch up with all of these amazing books.

Can they make it to the top before it all comes crashing down?

Khazak has been feeling a little lost lately. By the age of thirty, he’d become the youngest Ranger Captain in his city’s history. He thought he had the rest of his life figured out until he was betrayed by people he trusted and forced to resign. The one bright spot is David, his human lover and former captive (though “former” doesn’t always apply in the bedroom). After coming so close to losing him, Khazak didn’t think twice about leaving everything behind to follow after him. Things are still new, but they have all the time in the world for David to grow comfortable with their relationship.

David’s having a rough time himself. After miraculously surviving a deadly attack, he’s left looking for answers and seeking revenge on those responsible. His search brings him to the city of Pákannon, and he’s not alone: not only is his entire team behind him—he also has Khazak, the orc who loves him and once owned him (and technically, still does). Just as he’s getting used to the idea of people knowing they’re together, someone from his past shows up and threatens all of his progress. Lucky for him, a side-quest to a mysterious city in the mountains should be exactly the distraction he needs. It’s not like anything bad or dangerous could happen, right?

This is a book filled with action, comedy, tent sex, giant snakes, and ghost stories! Read the next chapter of Khazak & David’s story and join them as they explore more of the magical world they inhabit. Readers of gay/male-on-male romances that feature kinky power-exchange relationships, BDSM, and Dom/sub elements: this book is for you!

Release Day: The Drums of Unrest

We are excited for the release of The Drums of Unrest by JP Corwyn!

It began with The Red Storm at Westsong…

In the wake of that unearthly siege, the foundations of power across Skolf begin to crumble. Kaith and his fellows must fight the phantoms of their own minds, even as County Thorion prepares for the war to come. The King of the Dead—the only enemy that truly matters—has spent centuries in exile somewhere “outside,” biding his time. His agents have shown a terrible patience as they gather power and influence for the day of his return… a day that draws ever closer. When all paths seem ill, Eobum, a man born to the spear, will be forced to make an impossible choice.

But truth has power. Those willing to speak the truth can make an impact felt miles, even worlds away without ever knowing it.

The Drums of Unrest is the first book in the sweeping Cycle of Bones dark military fantasy series, following the prequel Dawn of Unions. If you enjoy unlikely heroes, realistic battles, and fighting for survival, then you’ll love JP Corwyn’s gritty return to the world of Skolf.

Ours by Dominic N. Ashen

If growing up is hard, becoming an actual adult is even harder, and the transition between the two can, at times, seem like a minefield.

Cory is just an average 18-year-old nerd who plays video games and reads comic books. Well, mostly average. He’s also gay, in the closet, and into some pretty kinky stuff. Sure, his only outlet is the internet and his left hand, but with college right around the corner, he figures his secret is safe… Right?

Except Cory’s two best friends, Derek and Nic, recently found out about that secret. And just like a lot of teenage boys, they decide to think with their groins and take advantage of the situation. With the internet as their guide, they formulate a plan to train Cory into being their personal submissive plaything.

As they learn more about themselves, each other, and the kinky world of BDSM, Cory, Derek, and Nic may also discover that romance can bloom in the most unexpected of places.

There are 3 books so far in this series.

Check out book one The Prince’s Priest here:

A prince with a legacy of blood, a simple priest, an unstoppable romance in a world on the brink of civil war.

Dante, the Prince of Bloodeaters is in love with a human priest. Ten years ago, he threw his life to the wind in an effort to bring about change while escaping a fate he no longer wanted to face. One wintry night meeting John gave him a new purpose and drive as he joins him to live on a farm in the middle of nowhere. Lessons and promises made will lead Dante’s internal struggles to places he didn’t know he still had to face even now.

Viceroy Falco, Dante’s ex-lover and overseer of Glensdale and capitol city to The House, wants an army of bloodeaters at his command. Conspiracies are whispered about his involvement in the prince’s disappearance and the ailing king on the throne. Dante aims to stand in his way at every turn, but jealous and lust drive Falco to wanting more than just the magical dagger called The Fanged Lady. Though, there’s a cost as the Viceroy’s past abuse spurs Dante to action when his aim turns to Father John.

When Father John takes over the Glensdale church, he becomes a target for Falco’s sadistic games. John is stubborn and bullheaded, unwilling to bend or retreat. Angry with Dante’s decision to be his sword and shield with bruises and a bloodied lip to match. Aiming to find a solution for himself, Father John throw caution to the wind even if the cross branded on his back may lead to his death.

Dante is willing to sacrifice everything to keep Father John safe, and will he have to accept his position as Prince when the King falls ill?

This book is a great jump on a refreshing male male romance with fantasy elements. Swords, knights, vampires, plague, moody steeds, and more add to the center romance of two broody men madly in love with one another. Readers who enjoyed the chemistry and romance of The Captive Prince Trilogy by CS Pacat as well as the broody, vampire vibes from JR Ward’s The Black Dagger Brotherhood will enjoy reading this sizzling spin on vampire romances.
