The Drowned Watch ARC applications for Raptoraem: Book I are now live in the Media Vault for members of the Contraband Network.
So if you’d like first dibs before the form opens to the general public, consider this your politely ominous invitation to join the Network and come in through the side door.
Small print from your local smuggling operation:
applying does not guarantee selection. It does give Contraband members early access to apply before public signups open.
If you’d like to read Book I early and help usher this foul little enterprise into the world, the form is in the Vault.

ARC signups for my friend's dark fantasy M/M are still open!! the book is approaching its March 30th release, so if you're interested in a story with delicious slow burn, dragon shifters, religious trauma shenanigans with actual gods, living weapons (in many forms), and characters you wanna chew apart (lovingly, with hate) ... check it out!!
(also very much inspired by certain medias like dragon age, heaven official's blessing, and other goodies. if you also like older fantasy book vibes, ala the witcher, this was also an inspo)
please make sure to check out the site for the trigger warnings in case, but if you're familiar with the dark themes of game of thrones, it falls in line with there
you can either sign up on booksprout OR through our google form <3
here is the blurb as well under the cut!
In a dying world where shadows blur the lines between faith and treachery, "The Dragon's Salvation" weaves a tale of intrigue, unexpected alliances, and divine falsehoods.
When the assassination contract is signed and paid for, two skilled assassins, Sullivan and Bo, are tasked with eliminating one of the heads of the churches of Elnor.
Enter Agapetus Mocenigo, the most faithful figures in all of Wiltion, aside from the goddess herself, and their target, but situations can change with just a drop of a necklace. The mission spirals into chaos when Sullivan finds himself inexplicably alive after the failed attempt. As Sullivan grapples with the shocking truth of why he's still breathing, he and Agapetus are thrust into a dangerous game that challenges their loyalties and beliefs, and the bonds they forge reveals powerful secrets and hidden betrayals.
Their choices that could alter the course of history, both men must confront their pasts and embrace the changes ahead. Will they manage to survive the world’s deceptions, or will the price of being a salvation be too high?
Dive into "Ecaden's Crown", a dark fantasy M/M romance that explores the complexities of a slow burn romance, spread between four books.
So one of the wonders of doing a hybrid publishing thing (aka Indie but not self published) is getting to have ARC ebooks to send out. A.R.C (advanced reader copies) are typically sent out for free 3-6 months before the book release, so we're right in the sweet spot.
If you are interested in a YA SFF novel that's like queer gothic ATLA meets Percy Jackson, this is right up your alley! Read the book for free, and leave a review on Goodreads (or Instagram or Storygraph) / wherever you leave book reviews. Ratings/reviews on Amazon are also much appreciated, all ideally by Jan/Feb 2026. The book is a little over 110,000 words (so a decently long fanfiction).
I have people I'm hoping / planning to send to as well, but I thought I might as well come to the almost 100 of you here first as a Big thank you for following and being interested in the book. If anyone would like to read the first chapter first before agreeing to an ARC, feel free to let me know here / in the form itself, and I'll get back to you!
Queer YA SFF, 110k words, centring on a group of reincarnated chosen ones trying to stop a war before it begins. Think queer gothic Avatar:
Here are some of the reviews the book has received so far:
BOOK BLURB:
Ally Hatten is tired of waiting to be believed in.Â
As the Infran of Life, she's supposed to be one of Alvoskia’s eight admired reincarnated protectors—if she still had her powers. When the Infran Claiming ceremony comes to call, it seems she’ll be left behind. Again.Â
But when war is brought to her doorstep, all of the Infrans are thrust into a world of deceptive politics on a ticking time limit: two weeks to travel to the enemy capitol and negotiate a peace treaty, or war will threaten their world like never before… whether they’re ready for it or not.Â
Joined by her embittered twin, Jamie, the Infran of Death, and her friend / one-sided rival — the sweet-hearted Infran of Fire, Flames, a prodigy with a rare skill not seen for centuries — all three of them have demons to face in the city of Serkdan, with danger lurking around every corner.Â
To stop the war before it begins, Jamie must confront the monster who raised her, and Flames the shadows of a past she can’t quite burn to ashes. And perhaps, Ally can finally find the secret to unlocking her powers, if the last Infran who was dormant like her isn’t the monster everyone says he is.Â
Haunted by the Infran who went off the rails, and struggling to find her place in a world that seems determined to shut her out of it, Ally and the Infrans must rise to the challenges set before them, or risk losing the only family they have left: each other.
Preorders for both Ebook (around $7.00) and physical soft copies ($27.00) will go up in January 2026, if you're interested in waiting till then, or you like the ARC so much you want to buy it for yourself!
Occasionally, it’s about demanding someone puts in enough effort to earn it instead.
"Andric thinks that to hunt a sane kavian, we need one of the best hunters alive. But how do I know we can trust you?"
"You came looking for Connor," Olwen snapped, and Lizzy startled, almost having forgotten the other vampire was sitting there.
"Yeah," Lizzy confirmed, her own anger beginning to get the better of her, "You're right, we did come looking for Moore. It was a recommendation from someone I trust, but he won't even look at Andric, so what am I supposed to think?" Lizzy pushed.
