New Book Alert!
Broken Bonds is arriving on June 30th, but you can preorder your copy now. The book is a continuation of the story in The Black Rain Chronicles, which centers on Andrea Whiteheart and her uncle, Hugo Silvanes as they vie with each other in a bloody contest to decide the fate of their city.
The Blurb:
Five road the winds of change, and one fell. Fifteen towers rose, clad in firelight and shadow. The one who fell, bound by four. His lover poisoned by him, driven into the dark that to him was home. Ten towers took root. Four toppled. One of stone was shackled, to live one hundred thousand lives, and to take them.
The prophecy of the five great heroes is known to all of the faithful throughout Etherel, but no one truly believes they will live to witness those events unfold. It is when the sons of a crime lord in Aranor begin to display peculiar abilities that the return of the prophesied saviors and the end of an era begin to take shape. Working with their parents, Hugo Silvanes sets the stage for an unprecedented usurpation, when he commits a heinous act against the people of Lazul. Seventeen years later, he seeks to make good on a promise he made to his dear friend and sister when they set out on their mission.
An indestructible book has burned. What protections an ancient treaty provided to the free world are gone. Soon, the armies of the Ten Kings, zealous worshipers of an imprisoned god, will come; and Hugo will do anything in his power to stop them, but first he must deal with a troublesome niece and her allies, who intend to kill him before he can do what is needed.
A new era is dawning on Etherel, and if they are as cruel as they are brave, man may well, for the first time, guide the shaping of their world. But first, Hugo must find a way to shape their new god.
The book will be available on Kindle Unlimited, and in Ebook and Paperback formats. Presale covers ebooks, so if you want to order a physical copy, you're best off waiting until the book goes live on June 30th.
