Because boy oh boy… have I got a special treat for you.
As you may know, my Cinderella-assassin story, Striking Midnight, will release in the Kingdom of Glass and Ashes set on December 18th.
Kingdom of Glass and Ashes is a limited time collection of YA Cinderella retellings and you can preorder it from your favorite ebook retailer now.
Today, as part of the Brewing Books tour…
I’m proud to present the Striking Midnight cover reveal!
Dawn will break. And she will rise.
When the Noctisian King passed, the Daylight Accord crumbled. Now, the Kingdom of Noctis exists in darkness and unending night, while their neighbors slowly roast.
The sun never sets on Sol.
The former prince of Noctis refuses to honor the bargain his father made with the Solian rulers and both kingdoms suffer without the balance the other brings. But when the time comes for King Knox to choose a bride, Sol sends forth their best contender: Princess Cyndria.
Cyn is beautiful. Poised. Demure… and deadly. Trained by Solian assassins since she was old enough to grasp a knife, she knows exactly how she’ll enchant the King.
And, once she’s queen… How she’ll end him.
Honestly, Cyn would be perfectly happy to stay in her own kingdom if she could restore the Accord and peacefully rule over her people. But an archaic law declares that a ruler of Sol or their spouse must be eighteen in order for them to take the throne.
And Cyn is only seventeen.
Until she’s of age, Cyn’s stepmother rules in her stead.
But King Knox is n-i-n-e-t-e-e-n.
Marrying and killing King Knox would solve an awful lot of Cyn’s problems…
All authors in the Once Upon a Retelling tour are giving away a paperback of a fairy tale retelling and a cozy beverage!
For my beverage, I chose lavender hot chocolate. Hot chocolate because I’m not a coffee or tea drinker (I know… sacrilege. What kind of writer am I?). And lavender because, as we saw in the Striking Midnight cover reveal, the cover has some fun purple vibes. ^_~
Despite having the Striking Midnight cover reveal today, it will be a while until it’s out on its own. And since it will only be available as an ebook in Kingdom of Glass and Ashes for some time, I’m giving away a paperback by one of the other authors in Kingdom of Glass and Ashes:
Charm by J.A. Armitage!
Charm is the first in the Reverse Fairytale series by USA Today bestselling author J.A. Armitage.
The kingdom needs an heir and Princess Charmaine is quite aware that the job rests solely upon her shoulders. When her elder sister dies, Charmaine must take her place at the ball designed to find her a husband. With the wedding itself already planned, a hundred men stand ready to be chosen as her husband.
Now all she has to do is pick.
As a servant in the castle kitchens, Cynder knows his place beneath the royals.
With the impending war between the people of magic and those of his masters, there is little he can do to stop it. On one hand, he’s a staunch supporter of equal rights for his own kind, but on the other, he has already given enough of his life to these people. The only thing truly holding him to the castle is the attraction he feels for the daughter of his King and Queen.
When the two meet, sparks fly… and not just the magical kind.
You can read Striking Midnight, Charm, and nine other YA Cinderella stories in Kingdom of Glass and Ashes on December 18th, 2018.
Pre-order now from your favorite e-book retailer.
