A couple of folks up above have mentioned Django Wexler, so here's a freebie prequel short story, set in the Shadow Campaigns world, that I noticed on the way to other things. Free at Kindle UK, that is, but oddly enough, not at Kindle US.

The Penitent Damned
Kindle US (for price check): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EVHGUAW
Kindle UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B010U6GATI

Quote:
From the author of The Thousand Names, The Shadow Throne and The Price of Valour comes a prequel short story set in the world of the Shadow Campaigns.

Also contains an extract of The Thousand Names, Book One of The Shadow Campaigns.

Alex is a master thief, with dark magic to give her an edge. When she goes up against Duke Orlanko's Concordat secret police, though, she may have taken on more than she bargained for...

Thanks to tch65721 for mentioning the Brooks Humble Bundle, which otherwise I might have missed.

Been a fan of Brooks for most of my life... The Sword of Shannara is the book that got me hooked on fantasy fiction. I've been slowly converting my library to digital over the past few years, and Bundles like this work so well for that purpose. I didn't actually own any ebook copies of Brooks' novels before now; all my copies were paperbacks.

Just wish they hadn't done the stupid thing of including the Heritage of Shannara collection when all the individual novels were in there. Oh well... still a fantastic deal.

Year’s Best Canadian Fantasy and Science Fiction: Volume One is $2 on Amazon.com
Contents

The Best of All Possible Worlds by Karen Lord is $5 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)
First in a series. There are 3 books already. Standalone stories, but should be read in order.

Quote:
A proud and reserved alien society finds its homeland destroyed in an unprovoked act of aggression, leaving the survivors no choice but to reach out to the indigenous humanoids of their adopted world, to whom they are distantly related. They wish to preserve their cherished way of life but discover that to protect their culture, they may have to change it forever.

Now a man and a woman from opposite sides of these clashing societies must work together to save this vanishing race—and end up uncovering ancient mysteries with far-reaching ramifications. As their mission hangs in the balance, these unlikely partners—one cool and cerebral, the other fiery and impulsive—may find in each other their own destinies . . . and a force that transcends all.

Includes two bonus short stories

Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah is $1 on Amazon.com
Quote:
She felt their eyes, all those executioners…

Loretta Thurwar and Hamara “Hurricane Staxxx” Stacker are the stars of the Chain-Gang All-Stars, the cornerstone of CAPE, or Criminal Action Penal Entertainment, a highly popular, highly controversial profit-raising program in America’s increasingly dominant private prison industry. It’s the return of the gladiators, and prisoners are com*peting for the ultimate prize: their freedom.

In CAPE, prisoners travel as Links in Chain-Gangs, competing in death matches before packed arenas with righteous protestors at the gates. Thur*war and Staxxx, both teammates and lovers, are the fan favorites. And if all goes well, Thurwar will be free in just a few matches, a fact she carries as heavily as her lethal hammer. As she prepares to leave her fellow Links, Thurwar considers how she might help preserve their humanity, in defiance of these so-called games. But CAPE’s corporate own*ers will stop at nothing to protect their status quo, and the obstacles they lay in Thurwar’s path have devastating consequences.

Moving from the Links in the field to the protestors, to the CAPE employees and beyond, Chain-Gang All-Stars is a kaleidoscopic, excoriating look at the American prison system’s unholy alli*ance of systemic racism, unchecked capitalism, and mass incarceration, and a clear-eyed reckoning with what freedom in this country really means.

Alien Clay by Adrian Tchaikovsky is £1 in the UK (Kobo, Amazon)
Newish release.
Quote:
They travelled into the unknown and left themselves behind . . .

Professor Arton Daghdev has always wanted to study alien life in person. But when his political activism sees him exiled to the planet Kiln, condemned to work under an unfamiliar sky until he dies, his idealistic wish becomes a terrible reality.

Kiln boasts a ravenous, chaotic ecosystem. Its monstrous alien life means Arton will risk death on a daily basis – if the camp’s oppressive regime doesn’t kill him first. But, if he survives, Kiln’s lost civilization holds a wondrous, terrible secret. It will redefine life and intelligence as he knows it – and might just set him free.

That's an incomplete trilogy and 2 related novellas (which came out after the release of book 2 in 2011.)

This one is not US based. It also works in the UK. However, Patrick Rothfuss is another George RR Martin as he's may never finish the series. The last novel was released in March 2011. He's had plenty of time to finish the series.

Galápagos by Kurt Vonnegut is around 3 dollars/euros at Kobo US and various Amazon sites. Strangely, there doesn't seem to be an ebook edition available at all in the UK.
