Publisher: B.A.D. Publishing, LLC (self) 

Release Date: February 22, 2027

A wounded Ranger. 

        A mother on the run. 

                                            One cabin, 

        and nowhere left to hide. 

 Norah has run as far as she can. With an abusive ex-husband hunting her, and a blizzard swallowing the mountain, she carries her five-year-old son toward the only light for miles. But the man who opens the door just wants to be left alone. Former Army Ranger Theo Dancer lost his unit to betrayal and has spent every day since refusing to forgive himself for surviving. Determined to die alone in the mountains like he should have in that desert, he lives completely secluded from everyone. And then she shows up. Battered, broken, and carrying a little boy with bright eyes and a heart full of hope. The last thing Theo wants is a complication. But when it becomes clear that Norah isn’t just running from a storm, he jumps back into the fight. Keeping her alive means trusting her. But trusting anyone means opening a door he nailed shut the day he lost his brothers.

The Talent Throne ~ Cover Reveal

 Today I'm thrilled to share the cover for

Nadine Brandes' upcoming release

The Talent Throne!

Did you read Wishtress when it came out in 2022? Have you ever wondered what else happened in Winterune? Wonder no more when The Talent Throne releases in May 2027. 

About the Book:

Seven years ago, time stopped. Cairden “Runt” Vorst has been trapped in the Stillness ever since.
 
When he finally unlocks the Talent to get time moving again, the crown of Winterune is within his reach. But Winterune law says that before he can become king…Cairden must marry. In ten days.
 
Lieve deWindt has no intention of becoming a bride. In fact, she has quite a different goal: putting an arrow in Cairden Vorst’s heart. Unfortunately, sneaking into the schloss to end his life lands her among the twelve women competing to become his queen.
 
War is coming to their shores in ten days’ time. Lieve is the only one who knows, and she’s determined to deliver a murdered prince as a peace offering. But it turns out assassination is not as simple as it sounds, especially when her Talent bonds with Cairden’s.
 
Together, they may be the only way to save the kingdom…if they can manage not to kill each other first.

This is a no-spice Young Adult royal fantasy where a prince has to choose a bride…but the girl he chooses is tasked to assassinate him to stop a war.

THE TALENT THRONE is available to pre-order today on Kickstarter only!

SYNOPSIS

She invented a husband to save him. She didn't expect him to take the job so seriously.

Squire Derby Wenk has one goal: sail south to his sick mother.

The last person he expects to find on a merchant ship full of ruffians is Lady Lathia Livna — cousin to the queen, daughter of the house he serves, and the last woman in ErRets who should be traveling alone.

She's clearly hoping he'll pretend he didn't see her.

Not a chance. His duty is plain: see her safely home.

But Lady Lathia isn't turning back. She came to Land's End to help her best friend — and to finally live on her own terms. She didn't plan on Derby following her off the ship. When thugs close in and the black knights come to detain Derby, she blurts out the only thing that can save him: "He's my husband!"

Derby is the squire she spent years outmaneuvering, dismissing, and deliberately mispronouncing his name just to watch him flinch. Now she's trapped inside Volstone Castle, in a fake marriage, trying to help her best friend survive a treacherous courtship.

Except Derby is not who she thought he was. He swears the Shield Oath — a warrior's vow to stand between her and all harm, freely given, when nothing requires it. He's kind. He's steady. He would give his life for her.

And the lie she invented to save him keeps growing inconveniently real.

But someone wants control of Land's End — and they'll burn everything in their path to take it. When Lathia is caught up in danger, she'll have to trust the one man she never wanted to rely on…her husband.

She came here to disappear. She never planned on being found.

An epic story about a runaway noblewoman who stopped believing in rescue, a loyal man who can't stop showing up, and a God who keeps standing in the gap.
