Break the Beast ~ Available NOW!

 Welcome to the Release of Break the Rules


BLURB:

Who is to say who is the real beast?


Grendel haunts the land of Frisia in a restless need for vengeance on the human world that has rejected her. With a fiendish master urging her on, she attacks without fear of repercussion.

But the arrival of a foreign prince causes Grendel to doubt her invulnerability. Beowulf is renowned for killing monsters, and he can have only one purpose in visiting Frisia: to break her hellish reign.

When the inevitable confrontation occurs, the battle between man and beast will change both their lives forever as they find themselves thrust into a quest for truth neither could have anticipated.

Allison Tebo re-imagines the ancient legend of Beowulf in an epic story of redemption and grace in a high-stakes fantasy adventure.

Drawn Through Blood ~ Cover Reveal

 Today, I'm taking part in the Cover Reveal for
John W. Otte's Drawn Through Blood.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’m pleased to be sharing the cover for 
John W. Otte’s upcoming book,
Drawn through Blood
This is the second book in his science fantasy
trilogy loosely based on the book of Esther. It’s the sequel to the
award-winning first book, Drawn in Ash.

Want to know more about the book? 
Here’s what’s on the book’s back cover:

WHAT WILL THEY HAVE TO SACRIFICE TO SAVE THEIR KINGDOM?

Everys never dreamed she would one day be queen of the Xoniel Dynasty,
let alone actually fall in love with the king. But as political
compromises, accusations from the former queen, and the unexpected
arrival of her father threaten to tear her marriage apart, Everys
struggles to find her place and power as queen. With so many crises
converging to destroy her husband’s reign, she has to save the very
family who tried to destroy her people and her homeland.
Narius wants to build a fair and just society for all who live in the
Dynasty’s holdings. But his right to reign is being challenged by the
former leader of his military and the head of his people’s religion.
Narius will have to prove his worth through not only ritual combat, but
also through costly compromises to placate his nobility.
The Dynasty is falling apart without and within, and Everys and Narius
battle to hold both their reign and their marriage together. But
salvaging the fractured Dynasty will require sacrifice, and they may
just find that the price is much higher than they ever could have
imagined.

Now for the cover reveal...

Cover Reveal ~ Riddle of Hearts

 Today I'm taking part in the cover reveal of 

Rosie Grymm's Riddle of Hearts, a retelling of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
This is the ninth book in the A Classic Retold series
and will be released on November 10th.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Blurb:

Bad bargains have bad consequences. 

As royal scribe for the Queen of Hearts, Alice Bishop has two duties: record the proceedings of the court and don’t ask questions. But if chronic tardiness and a constantly wandering mind didn’t make things hard enough, now a Madness has seized the court, turning normal gatherings into heated debates and gossip into whispered threats. Unsettling dreams plague Alice’s sleep and follow her into the waking world; white roses and a familiar clearing she’s sure she’s never seen before. 

 Finding answers becomes a matter of life and death after Alice uncovers the Queen’s terrible secret. Along with a mysterious and strangely familiar man, a heartless little boy, and her own relentless curiosity, Alice embarks on a quest through the Madness corrupted forests in search of the truth. But as each step reveals more of her hidden past, her search for answers becomes the discovery of a long forgotten question. One only she can answer…or Wonderland will be lost forever. 

In this imaginative retelling of Alice in Wonderland, Rosie Grymm tackles denial, regret, and responsibility with a (big) helping of classic Wonderland madness.

In the wake of a broken engagement, Ilsa Starling boards the Hunting vessel Relentless in search of the solace the sea promises her.
But dragons are not the only threats that lurk in these uncharted waters. As first mate aboard Relentless, Ilsa becomes a key player in the impossible quest determined by her captain, Adam Chase. Once Map’s End’s rising star, Chase lost everything to an ill-fated encounter with a legendary white dragon that haunts the seas at the very edge of the world. Now the captain swears to avenge himself on the beast and restore all that was stolen from him, no matter what–or who–he may lose along the way.

Everything he ever loved is gone. Can what is broken ever be restored?


In a quiet, seaside town, Nick works as a smuggler, disguising himself as a human and hiding his secret past as the servant of the magician Prospero. It’s been two years since the attack that devastated the great magician’s island leaving it dark and ruined. Prospero and his beautiful daughter, Miranda, are dead, and even Nick’s best friend, the spirit Ariel, has slipped into a coma. Nothing is left.

Nick has resolved himself to mere survival when a voice from the past suddenly begins to call to him, urging him to rebuild the magic island’s ruined chapel. No matter how futile the task, Nick cannot ignore the haunting call to restore the heart of the island.

But hope is not the only thing awakening. Darkness is stirring as well—darkness that understands the meaning of Nick’s task better than he does.

As Nick begins his work, he is stalked on land and sea—by enemies human and inhuman—all of them prepared to do whatever is necessary to keep him from summoning the light.

Tor Thibeaux re-imagines Shakespeare’s The Tempest in an epic story of good and evil in a high-stakes fantasy adventure.
