Death Before Dragons Book 5 (False Security) Is Available!

Posted on July 3, 2020 by Lindsay

I’m a little late updating the website (what’s new?), but if you didn’t see it, my fifth Death Before Dragons novel, False Security, is out on Amazon.

I have one more novel coming in the series (Book 6, Storm Forged, in August and also a Val and Sindari prequel story at the end of July, Mist and Magic), and then we’ll see if you guys want more!

In the meantime, thanks for reading along with Val and Zav and the gang. (I’m not telling Val that several people have referred to these as my “Zav books” or “Zav series.” I think she would be put out to find out that the dragon is getting top billing.)

A note for my sci-fi fans:

I’m writing Star Kingdom Book 8 (Layers of Force) as we speak, and I’m over halfway through. It’ll be out in September!

Huge “Fantastic Beasts” Fantasy Story Bundle (includes my complete Heritage of Power series)

Posted on May 28, 2020 by Lindsay

I’m editing my Zav bonus scenes for my Death Before Dragons series and should have them out to newsletter subscribers in a few days, but if you need something to read right now, you can check out this huge bundle of fantasy novels (including my five-book Heritage of Power complete series) from numerous indie and traditionally published authors.

Hosted by StoryBundle, the books are available from now until June 18th.

The bundle includes: Moonshadow, the first book in the three-part series by USA TODAY and New York Times bestselling author Thea Harrison; The Heritage of Power series (Books 1-5) by Amazon bestselling author Lindsay Buroker; and Bloodrush, part one of the bestselling Scarlet Star series by Ben Galley, among many others.

Most of the earnings are split between the authors, and there’s also an option to donate 10% of the purchase to charity. The ebooks are DRM-free and come in .ePub or .mobi format (so good on all e-readers).

Here’s the link if you’re interested: https://storybundle.com/fantasy

Bonus Story: The Forbidden Ground (Death Before Dragons)

Posted on May 22, 2020 by Lindsay

Hey, folks!

I was hoping to have this ready last weekend as an ebook (along with the Zav point-of-view scenes) for my newsletter subscribers, but the cover art and bonus scenes aren’t quite done. I should still make my end of May goal though. If you’re not already a subscriber to my my newsletter, you can sign up here and get a free copy of the ebook when it’s ready: https://lindsayburoker.com/book-news/

For those who don’t want to wait for the ebook and would like to read this extra adventure now, I’m publishing it right here. I wrote story to stand alone (so if you’re a new reader, you can jump in and enjoy it), but it does have some spoilers for the earlier books. It takes places between Books 4 and 5 in the Death Before Dragons series.

Thanks for reading!

The Forbidden Ground

a Death Before Dragons story

Part I

The beat-up orange camper van chugged down the interstate, getting passed by semitrailer trucks, Volkswagen beetles, and motorcycles with dogs in the sidecars. As a begoggled husky looked over at us, I rubbed my face and wondered if other assassins traveled by such means. Hollywood was convinced every gun-wielding independent contractor made millions, but it didn’t work that way when you worked for the military. Or maybe the problem was that people are willing to pay more to have government dictators killed than they were man-eating wyverns and murderous vampires.

My mood brightened when the exit sign for Gold Hill, Oregon, came into view. Almost there. Continue reading →

Death Before Dragons 4 (Elven Doom) and Audiobooks for the Series

Posted on May 22, 2020 by Lindsay

If you’re on my newsletter, you already know that Elven Doom (Death Before Dragons, Book 4) came out last weekend, and may have already read it (thank you!). For the rest of the world, here is the official announcement.

Book 4 is out!

Blurb:

Dragons make life complicated. Extremely complicated.

After returning from Idaho, I was hoping to have time to figure things out with Zav—also known as Lord Zavryd, the dragon who claimed me as his mate without asking—but the dark elves are up to their old tricks again.

Actually, they’re up to far more deadly tricks, using more powerful magic than I knew existed. I have no idea how I’m going to stop them, but if I can’t, my entire city and everybody I care about could be obliterated.

To make matters worse, Zav’s sister has shown up and is rooting around in my life. His family doesn’t approve of me, and she plans to put an end to our relationship… one way or another.

Links:

The series is exclusive to Amazon this year (if you’re not a Kindle fan, remember that you can get all of my ebooks before they release by subscribing at the $5 level on Patreon), and here are the links to the various stores there:

Books 5 and 6 are in the works. Will there be more? We’ll see how things are going after 6. I am planning to work on a prequel novella (or maybe novel) that gives the story of how Val and Sindari first met. It may not have been love at first sight!

Audiobooks:

Thanks to CoVid and other craziness this spring, the distributor was very slow with approving the audiobook of Book 1 in this series, but it’s finally available. And so are Books 2 and 3!

If you’re an audiobook listener, I hope you’ll check out Death Before Dragons. Here are some of the links (unlike the ebooks, the audiobooks are not exclusive to Amazon, so you can find them on Kobo, Apple, Audible, Google Play, and many other audiobook stores as well as in some libraries — make sure to request them if your library doesn’t have them).

Thanks!

Death Before Dragons Bonus Scene: “Yeah, Relaxingly”

Posted on April 1, 2020 by Lindsay

Book 3 in my Death Before Dragons series comes out tomorrow! I wrote a little bonus scene that takes place between Books 2 and 3. Val does some yoga while Sindari offers commentary. Magical tigers are super helpful!

If you haven’t tried this series yet, Book 1 (Sinister Magic) is available on Amazon for $2.99. The series is also currently in Kindle Unlimited.

Thanks for reading!

Bonus Scene

“We’re going to unwind from Garudasana and flow into Utkatasana,” the smiling leotard-wearing instructor in the yoga video announced.

“The what from the what?” As I crouched awkwardly with one leg hooked around the other and my arms twisted in a pretzel, I looked at the magical silver tiger lounging on my couch, as if Sindari could explain this better than the instructor.

But Sindari was watching the door to my apartment instead of the video. I’d brought him forth from his magical realm to stand guard while I contorted my body into vulnerable positions. It would be just like a werewolf or troll to break down my door while I was propped on my shoulders with my legs pointed at the ceiling.

“Eagle pose to chair pose,” the instructor clarified as she flowed into the new position.

“Why didn’t she call them that to start with?”

Sindari gazed at me, his green eyes bland. Is the video designed to instruct you in a foreign language as well as exercises?

“Oh, I’m sure. I can’t tell you how often I’ve traveled and wished I could whip out some Sanskrit.”

Your knees are not in alignment, Sindari observed. The instructor would not approve.

“You’re supposed to be listening for threats in the hallway, not critiquing my form.” I scowled at him, but I did adjust my knees. Continue reading →
