Welcome to this week’s Free Book Friday, wherein we give you the best titles in indie publishing for the low low price of nothing. Congrats to last week’s winner SA for snagging a free copy of The Vows of Silence by Susan Hill.

This week, we are giving away a copy of The Alchemaster’s Apprentice by Walter Moers. The first three books set in Zamonia—the mythical land created by the genius of Moers, whose work has been compared to J.K. Rowling, Douglas Adams, and Shel Silverstein—have achieved raucous critical acclaim and created hundreds of thousands of die-hard fans here and all over the world. Now Moers returns with a fourth “relentlessly whimsical” fantasy (Library Journal). When Echo the Cat’s mistress dies, he is compelled to sign a contract with Ghoolion the Alchemaster. This fateful document gives Ghoolion the right to kill Echo at the next full moon and render his fat, which he hopes to brew into an immortality potion. But Ghoolion has not reckoned for Echo’s talent for survival and his vast ability to make new friends.
