A wee throwback. My first book THE GAUNTLET AND THE FIST BENEATH (2021) has animist gods, UFOs, brutal juntas, and a punch-up with a wolf pack. Rereading (gor REASONS) and I love it.
Here is a wee bit of art by @flygohr.bsky.social of Floré, our lady of punches

Round 2
First is a knight, so I think I need this one to go rogue or magic-user ideally to round out the party a little.

I love knights.
Monarchy? Patriarchy? Copy-paste Camelot & Catholicism? NOPE.
How about junta knights vs UFOs, animist gods, arcane storms, transcendent mages, swordfights. War criminals and dark rituals.

Starting to get my head around this, but not really. The shortlist is based on...fan votes? I didn't know anyone in America had even read the book...
The rest of the shortlist is wild. Anyone can vote - register (free!) here-

bottom right you can see the minarets of the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, and the gardens of Topkapi palace! And across the Golden Horn, Galata tower
The Golden Horn had a chain across it preventing unwanted ships reaching safe anchorage!
