Cover Reveal: Armor of Aletheia, Sacred Armor Trilogy Book 1

Y’all … it’s finally here. After years of grueling labor. Okay, it wasn’t necessarily grueling, but life did keep getting in the way and the extra time did drive me a little crazy… Ha!

The first book in my YA fantasy trilogy, Armor of Aletheia, will release on September 15, 2018!

I am so excited to share this story with the world. For readers to get to know Karina and Tristan … and Rashka and Sam. All these names, who are these people? Only time will tell. In other words, you’ll have to read the book.

But, Ralene, what is the book about? Glad you asked!

 

Back cover blurb for Armor of Aletheia:

A WORLD IN DANGER, A BETRAYED QUEEN, A
RELUCTANT HERO …

The death of her king changes Karina’s life forever. Fleeing the royal house, she
must leave her life behind to seek out the Armor of the Creator—to save the very
people who now hunt her.

Faramos, the evil warlock waiting to unleash hell, knows the Creator has already
chosen his warrior, so he sends his bounty hunter to retrieve her. After Tristan
abducts her, he witnesses Karina’s gentle nature and strong independence, and he
finds he can’t complete his assignment.

Together, they set out to retrieve the armor and defeat the hordes of creatures
sent to destroy them. But is Tristan’s heart secure as he faces certain death for
defending the queen? And will Karina have the courage to become all the Creator
intends her to be? Failure will condemn the world to eternal darkness.

 

Did ya just get a few shivers? Yeah, good stuff. But there’s still a few weeks until the book comes out. So how should I hold you over until then?

Should I giveaway a few ARCs? (Look for some fun stuff the beginning of September!)

Should I give you a sneak peak? (I think I shall be releasing the first chapter sometime soon.)

What? You want to see the cover? Pfft. Are you sure?

I mean, are you really sure?

 

Well, if you insist…

 

Without further ado…

 

(Man, this gal is really annoying, isn’t she?)

 

Ta-Da!

 

 

So…what do you think?

Are you ready for this fantasy adventure?

Book Review: The Story Peddler by Lindsay Franklin

 

Y’all, I am so excited to share this book with you. But first, a little background …

Lindsay and I met almost 6 years ago at the very first Realm Makers conference. We ended up in the same suite together and had an amazing time getting to know each other (and our other 2 suite mates). She is friendly and smart and just a ton of fun to be around.

Ever since then, I’ve been waiting for her fiction stories to be presented to the world … and here is The Story Peddler!

You’ll see a blurb of the book below, along with other pertinent information. The Story Peddler is a fun YA fantasy about Tanwen, a story peddler, who finds herself in quite a bit of trouble. As hard as she tries to keep her story weaving within approved standards, she finds herself on the wrong side of the law. And that can only mean trouble!

Lindsay created a unique world with lots of equally unique characters, like a pirate who is also a story peddler. Or a princess who is at odds with the king–and isn’t afraid to stand up for what she believes in. Or a farmer boy who’ll do anything to save the woman he loves.

The story has some interesting twists that will keep you glued to the pages. And if that isn’t enough to get you interested, I have just one word for you: Fluffhopper. Yes, I know. You can’t resist now.

Read on to find out more about the book and where to get it!

About the Book

Selling stories is a deadly business

Tanwen doesn’t just tell stories–she weaves them into crystallized sculptures that sell for more than a few bits. But the only way to escape the control of her cruel mentor and claw her way from poverty is to set her sights on something grander: becoming Royal Storyteller to the king.

During her final story peddling tour, a tale of treason spills from her hands, threatening the king himself. Tanwen goes from peddler to prey as the king’s guard hunts her down…and they’re not known for their mercy. As Tanwen flees for her life, she unearths long-buried secrets and discovers she’s not the only outlaw in the empire. There’s a rebel group of weavers…and they’re after her too.
