About Andy Peloquin
I am, first and foremost, a storyteller and an artist--words are my palette. Fantasy and science fiction are my genres of choice, and I love to explore the darker side of human nature through the filter of heroes, villains, and everything in between. I'm also a freelance writer, a book lover, and a guy who just loves to meet new people and spend hours talking about my fascination for the worlds I encounter in the pages of fantasy and sci-fi novels.
Speculative fiction provide us with an escape, a way to forget about our mundane problems and step into worlds where anything is possible. It transcends age, gender, religion,race, or lifestyle--it is our way of believing what cannot be, delving into the unknowable, and discovering hidden truths about ourselves and our world in a brand new way. Fiction at its very best!

Blog postYes, you read that right.
ASSASSIN (Darkblade #1) has cracked 1,000 reviews/ratings on Amazon.
All in just under 11 months!
That’s totally beyond anything any of my previous books have achieved–I think Darkblade Avenger (the Hero of Darkness box set) hit around 700 or so over the course of 2 years.
I’m so grateful and thrilled that people are loving the rebooted/overhauled version as much as they are.

Blog postGreetings, friend!
I know it’s been a while since I last posted here.
To be honest, I haven’t had much to say that I felt needed sharing publicly on a blog.
Oh, I’ve sent out newsletters and posted to social media, but I’ve always felt that blog posts needed to be MORE.
More what, exactly, I didn’t know. But for it to be worth surviving forever on the internet, it needed to have some sort of value.

Blog postI hope you’re sitting down…
…because the cover for PROTECTOR (Darkblade #2) is going to knock you flat.
I’ve gotten EIGHT covers done for the Darkblade series (just missing a few later-in-series covers that I’ll have to plan once I outline the books), but I think this one is probably my favorite.
Not only does it make the Hunter look totally badass, but it also brings in something totally epic—something I didn’t initially have in the original storyline.

Blog postIn one of my recent Facebook posts, people have begun debating whether the Hunter could be considered a serial killer because of how many people he’s killed. That, of course, led to some fun exchanges about the differences between serial killers and assassins—of which there are a notable few.
Let’s be clear: assassins and serial killers both murder people. Multiple people. In that, they find common ground.
But there are three pretty important distinctions that set the two apar9 months ago Read more -
Blog postAfter MONTHS of waiting (less than patiently, in my case) and plotting (for world domination, of course), the day has finally arrived.

Titles By Andy Peloquin
Armed with cutting-edge weapons and an AI-run cybernetic suit that controls his paralyzed legs, he is the fist in the shadows, the dagger to the heart of the Nyzarian Empire’s enemies.
Then he found Bex on his doorstep…
A junkie, high on the drug he’d fought for years to avoid, and a former elite soldier like him. So he takes her in to help her get clean—Silverguards never leave their own behind.
If only he’d known his actions would put him in the crosshairs of the most powerful cartel in New Avalon.
Facing an army of gangbangers, drug pushers, and thugs, Nolan must fight to not only carry out his mission, but to prevent the escalating violence from destroying everything he loves.

And so is all of humanity…
The demonic Sage finally has the missing piece in his wicked plan—and with it, the power to free mad god Kharna from his prison.
To make matters worse, Hailen’s mysterious and dangerous abilities are dragging him ever deeper into madness. The only way to pull the boy back from the brink of insanity is to unlock the dark, deadly secrets of a city long ago lost to time.
It’s a terrifying race against time and monstrous foes to save Hailen and stop the Sage from unleashing the mad god of death and destruction.
When evil wields power unstoppable, it takes a killer to save the world.
All in Voramis know the legend of the Hunter.
Relentless. Immortal. Death walking. The greatest assassin who ever lived.
Pay the master killer his due and the Hunter will execute any target, carry out any contract, no matter how impossible.But when the Bloody Hand crime syndicate harms the innocents under his protection, they foolishly make an enemy of the one man they can’t afford to anger. The price of the Hunter’s vengeance is high—paid in blood and eternal damnation. Not even an army of crooks, cutthroats, and demonic creatures of nightmare can stand in his way.
He’s far more than just one man…he’s the Keeper-damned Hunter of Voramis.
"Darkblade Assassin is a masterful thrill ride that delves deep into the heart and gut-wrenching soul of a killer." -- ML Spencer, Author of Dragon Mage
Abiarazi. Master manipulators, bloodthirsty, and cruel. Demons of nightmare.
His hunt for the monstrosities prowling among mankind takes him to the top of the highest mountain peak on Einan…
…where he stumbles across an ancient city and people forgotten by time.
Amidst the ruins and relics of a long-dead race, his vendetta against the demons will drag him ever-deeper into a millennia-old war for conquest and an enslaved nation’s desperate fight for freedom.
His skills as assassin will be put to the ultimate test: battling an enemy even he may not be strong enough to kill.
Yet should he fail, the cost will be high, for the first victim to die in the ensuing bloodshed will be the god-touched boy he has sworn to protect—a child with the power to either shatter or save the world.
"A riveting, action-packed, rollercoaster ride of extreme awesomeness, one that fires you up and ignites the darkness within! Magnificently written and wonderfully dark!" - Angel Haze, author of Beyond the Shadows
Half-demon bastard. A butcher with the blade, assassin, monster.
For millennia he has stalked the world, conquering all in his path and wading through rivers of his enemies' blood.
But he remembers none of it.
Now, an oath made in bitterness and regret thrusts him into a new role to which he is entirely unsuited: guardian of a young boy touched by gods and hunted by demons.
The Hunter sets off into desolate wastelands and deserts to seek out answers with blade and brutal skills honed by centuries of violence. At his side rides the boy, an ever-growing inconvenience and testament to his past failures.
But as the legions of his enemies close in around him, the child he protects may not only hold the key to his past, but become his very hope for salvation.
"Epic, as enthralling and thrilling as it is heartbreaking." – Christopher Russell, author of Divinity’s Twilight
...and lead him to the city of Praamis, where his hunt for a demon throws him into conflict with the Night Guild and its cunning Master Gold.

**r/Fantasy Stabby Award Winner – Best Anthology 2019**
A demonic assassin. A half-orc boxer. A ratman necromancer. Though they take many different shapes and forms, there are heroes all around us.
Bravery can be found in the most unexpected places: a subterranean dwarven city; the sands of a temple courtyard in Ancient Egypt; a besieged castle, a Victorian brothel, a goblin warren, the post-apocalyptic ruins of a demon-infested village. Heroes dwell in the shadows as well as the light; you just have to look a little harder to find them.
Who do they fight?
Some heroes challenge injustice in all its numerous guises, while others hunt monsters both human and bestial. Others battle inner demons, the ghosts of their past, their deepest nightmares – or even the gods themselves.
Why do they fight?
For glory? Sometimes. For honor? Perhaps. There are those who instinctively strive to protect those weaker than themselves, and there are others emboldened only by a sense of obligation, or the promise of wealth. Whether by the blade or other means, they endeavor to take down all who threaten what is good and right in their world.
By hook or by crook, through cunning or combat, with tooth and claw or iron and steel, they are all united in one goal, willingly or not: to live – and die, if necessary – a hero.
Choose your weapon. Fight for what you believe in. Never give up.
Nineteen fantasy writers gather to bring nineteen tales to life, each one a unique glimpse into a wholly original world.
Sergeant Koltun and his Screaming Howlers should never have been caught up in the desperate battle to defend Highcliff Motte from a horde of Eirdkilrs. But with so few Legionnaires against so many barbarians, they couldn’t simply ride away and leave their fellow soldiers to die.
Outnumbered, cut off from reinforcements, with no chance of victory, their only hope is to embark on one last march...every step a fight to survive.
The Last March is the sixth book in thrilling The Silent Champions military fantasy series, one final gritty novel to bring the battle full circle.
Fans of Malazan’s Bridgeburners, 300, and The Black Company will love this dark, ominous tale of brave soldiers willing to give their all.
