Every so often, a sale comes along that reminds you why indie publishing is such an exciting place to be.
This is one of those moments.
The EPIC Indie Summer Sale 2026 is now live, bringing together more than 150 fantasy and science fiction books from independent authors around the world. Whether you’re looking for your next epic fantasy saga, a military sci-fi adventure, grimdark carnage or an unforgettable space opera, there’s something here for you. Many titles are free, while others are available at heavily discounted prices for a limited time.
The sale runs 20-31 July 2026, so you’ve got just under two weeks to fill your Kindle (or whichever e-reader you favour) with enough books to keep you busy long after summer has ended.
With over 150 books available, there really is something for every speculative fiction fan. Here are just a handful that stood out while browsing the catalogue.
Three books in one complete collection featuring heroes, monsters, magic and epic battles. If you’re looking for classic epic fantasy on a grand scale, this is a fantastic place to start.
A fascinating fantasy premise centred around the God of Time himself. Time, mythology and high stakes combine in what promises to be a unique read.
A world where an ancient ceremonial dance may be the only thing standing between survival and destruction. Original fantasy with a compelling hook.
Magic, martial arts and revenge combine as a young fisherman sets out to become a legendary Hyo master after losing everything.
Action-packed fantasy promising dangerous quests, unlikely heroes and friendships forged through hardship. Exactly the sort of story epic fantasy fans love.
A forgotten ship. A deadly legend. A mystery that refuses to stay buried. Sometimes all you need is a great one-line premise.
Earth’s failed colony mission returns from Mars carrying something far more dangerous than anyone expected. Great premise for fans of first-contact and science fiction mysteries.
One of the biggest challenges indie authors face isn’t writing the book.
It’s getting readers to discover it.
Events like this bring dozens upon dozens of authors together under one roof, making it far easier for readers to discover hidden gems they might never otherwise have found. Every purchase supports independent creators directly and helps prove that fantastic stories don’t have to come from the traditional publishing establishment.
If you’ve been telling yourself you’ll “give indie a try one day,” this is probably the best opportunity you’ll get all year.
Whether you leave with one book or twenty, I guarantee you’ll discover authors you’ve never heard of before.
Who knows?
Your next favourite fantasy or sci-fi series could be waiting just one click away.
