Monster hunters, spaceships and comedy of manners by indie author Mel Dunay
The dead don’t rest easy in the Old World.
Necromancers summon evil spirits from the underworld and bind them into corpses, creating shambling servants called wights. And if a wight bites you? You might join their ranks.
They are a type of algomancer: feeding on pain and fear like other dark sorcerers. They bring their own particular horror to the world of the Hunter Healer King trilogy.

It’s time for the latest Book Sale hosted by Hans G. Schantz, where indie authors from across genres join together to offer great stories at great prices.
I’m glad to be participating once again. This event has always been a great opportunity for readers and writers to connect through their shared love of good books, without all the noise.
My contribution this quarter is Undead Flight, the second book in my Hunter Hunter Trilogy. It’s a gaslamp fantasy where our horse-loving heroine faces vampires and zombies ON AN AIRSHIP, while sorting out her feelings for a certain sharp-dressed monster hunter. It continues on from the first book in the trilogy in terms of the setting and the leads’ dynamic, but stands on its own as a story.
You can find it, and many others, at the sale here.
As always, I’m thankful for everyone who stops by, whether to browse, buy, or spread the word. Every bit of attention helps keep indie pub going.
Happy reading!

Maxim offers Chloe a box, and asks her to keep the artifact inside safe. She holds up the necklace inside and wonders “what has he gotten me into now?” Their relationship isn’t built on grand gestures. It’s built on trust forged while fighting monsters side by side. A romantic moment from Undead Flight, Book 2 of the Hunter Healer King trilogy. Which, by the way, is on sale now as part of Hans G. Schantz’s Spring Book Sale!
Imagine 19th century Budapest, but with airships overhead, monsters in the shadows, and an elected emperor who’s mostly a figurehead.
Welcome to Noricum, the sprawling empire where the Hunter Healer King trilogy takes place. It’s a land of steam-powered innovation and ancient bloodlines, where Dr. Maxim os Storm hunts algomancers through gaslit streets and Chloe Fortebat discovers that the “Old World” is far stranger than she ever imagined.

Not All Werewolves Are Created Equal
In the world of the Hunter Healer King trilogy, lupomancers are shapeshifting sorcerers who can magically mark living people, transforming them into werewolves who must obey their commands. And the lupomancers themselves? They’re algomancers: dark sorcerers who feed on pain and fear, who can take wolf form at will.
This is the threat Chloe Fortebat faces in Wolf’s Trail. This is why she needs Dr. Maxim os Storm, one of the few hunters who knows how to break a lupomancer’s mark before it’s too late.
