It's here!!! The Warden's Son book three, Heart of Vanris has been released into the wild! I know I missed the cover reveal on this one. I'd like to say I planned that for greater suspense, but it was mostly a result of the way life likes to trick you into thinking everything is going to fall apart so you can be that much more excited when it suddenly comes together. Or is that just my experience? Haha!
The fourth and final book in the series is in editing now. I'm incredibly excited to share the conclusion of Kasiel's story with you, but first he has many challenges to face and a lot of learning to do to make it through this installment.
COVER REVEAL!! You'll be surprised I'm sure to see more amazing cover art by Robert Crescenzio. It is always a delight to work with such a talented artist on my covers. You also get a map including new areas of Pandrea by Melissa Nash! (And an update to the hopefully helpful glossary collaboration by Kasiel and me.)
Blurb for Heart of Vanris, The Warden's Son Book Three:
Kasiel and his unit have made a name for themselves. Enough of one that they are now being sent to the northern capital to be paraded before the people as heroes and to escort the khevarin’s daughter back south with them. It is a mission that should give them all a much-needed break from fighting and allow Kasiel time to recover from his injuries.
What starts as a simple assignment becomes more complicated when the khevarin’s strong-willed daughter decides Kasiel and his unit will continue serving as her personal guards. With the war ongoing and rumors of possible political alliances in the air, protecting her may prove far more dangerous and disruptive than they imagined.
Still new to life as a soldier, Kasiel is unprepared for the complex matters of royalty and politics, especially while still learning to navigate the ever-complicated challenges of leadership and love.
As usual, because I am always happy to help fellow authors find new readers and help you build your reading list, here are a few promos I'm involved in right now.
