I've been a member of Royal Road for 3 years now. 3 years ago The Sunset Sovereign: A Dragon's Memoir was originally published there to get some beta reader feedback. I've published 1 other story there since and I'm working on my 3rd right now. There have been dozens of stories I've read on RR.

Inferno's Silence by Rainer Meri is just one of the great indie books available to reviewers on bookmatch.co.uk. Want to check out out our full library? Sign up for free today.

The cover of Inferno's Silence by Rainer Meri above the text: Check out this indie fantasy book available for review on bookmatch.co.uk.

Text reads: Welcome to a world where monsters walk among mortals, gods pull strings from the shadows and heroes fall to their own obsessions.

Ehrkon, a former militia turned fugitive, seeks vengeance after his family are executed in a brutal purge. Hunted by the regime he once served, he is granted the power of fire by a righteous goddess and drawn into a rebellion alongside unlikely allies.

Ynka was raised for obedience in a bleak northern city and prepared for a life she never chose. When a terrifying transformation reveals a hidden power, she is betrayed and cast into the abyss. Forced to survive, Ynka must uncover the truth of what she has become and reclaim control over her fate.

Tren is a fearless, sharp-tongued thief who thrives in the ruthless slums of Khurmal’s Fifth Sector. He takes on increasingly dangerous jobs that escalate into full-scale rebellion against the ruling elite. Marked by ancient powers and manipulated by those who know more than they reveal, Tren begins to unravel the legacy of a god, created to contain someone far more vicious.

Inferno’s Silence is a dark fantasy of survival, vengeance and uprising, where the line between hero and villain is a matter of perspective.

Along the feather, Calinthe and Zakuro are sitting on the back of a giant beetle as it heads down a road toward the castle.

Check out the cover of Erin Ampersand’s TIME TO PLAY 💥🐢 The start of a rollicking LitRPG series that Matt Dinniman calls “pure gold” in which everyone on Earth is forced to take part in a worldwide survival competition—everyone, including Meghan Moretti and her three kids. Out August 18, 2026!

Text that says: Coming August 18, 2026

The cover of Erin Ampersand's Time To Play is displayed.

Background is 'apocalyptic"

Picture this: You’re home with your three kids, racing to get soccer uniforms washed ahead of practice when the power shuts off. Your cell phone goes dead. And a voice coming from nowhere and everywhere all at once booms:

Congratulations! Your planet has been selected!

And just like that, Earth becomes the newest unwilling participant in a high-stakes intergalactic game show competition. What that means becomes terrifyingly clear as monsters drop onto the front lawn, an interface appears in your field of vision, and you—and your nine- and six-year-old sons and three-year-old daughter—are each offered a choice of supernatural abilities.

Part of you wants to laugh. Your husband’s away on business, coming home late tonight. Well, he was. But you clamp down on your rising panic. It doesn’t matter how much harder it will be. You’re a mom. Your kids need you; it’s up to you to keep them safe. You can do this.

Then, in quick succession, you discover:

1) your toddler has unilaterally decided her supernatural power should be for her beloved turtle stuffie to come alive.

2) every person on Earth will have to fight, no matter their age. You're going to have to teach your kids to stand on their own—and yourself to let them.

This is Meghan Moretti’s morning, and where Erin Ampersand’s rollicking, unputdownable LitRPG adventure series, Apocalypse Parenting, begins.
