WHAT YOU MAY HAVE MISSED IN 2017:

 

Darkness can only be controlled by those with the darkest of hearts.

Ellison lost her mother at an early age. Now, sixteen, her father has found love again. He’s happy and doesn’t quite notice that Ellison does not get along with his new wife or her vicious daughters.

When Ellison discovers a necromantic tome while traveling the secret passages of her father’s mansion, she wonders if it could be the key to her eventual freedom.

Until then, she must master her dark new power, even as her stepmother makes her a servant in her own home. And when her younger brother falls incurably ill, Ellison will do anything to ease his pain, including falling prey to her stepmother’s and stepsisters’ every whim and fancy.

Stumbling into a chance meeting with Prince William during a secret visit to her mother’s grave feels like a trick of fate when her stepmother refuses to allow Ellison to attend a palace festival where she might see him once more.

But what if Ellison could see the kind and handsome prince again? What if she could attend the festival? What if she could have everything she’s ever wanted and deserved by conjuring spirits to take revenge on her cruel stepmother? And what if she actually liked watching her stepmother suffer?

As Ellison’s power grows, she loses control over the evil spirits meant to do her bidding. And as they begin to exert their own power over Ellison, it becomes harder to tell whether it is she or her stepmother who is the true monster.

CINDERELLA NECROMANCER is CINDER meets ANNA DRESSED IN BLOOD and was inspired by a real medieval grimoire of necromancy from 15th-century Germany

F.M. Boughan is a bibliophile, a writer, and an unabashed parrot enthusiast. She can often be found writing in local coffee shops, namely because it’s hard to concentrate with a cat lying on the keyboard and a small, colorful parrot screaming into her ear. Her work is somewhat dark, somewhat violent, somewhat hopeful, and always contains a hint of magic.

FAERIE ORIGINS

   “A weeping stone.” Eldrick was reading over my shoulder.

   His closeness made me jump in surprise. “A what?”

   “It goes back to our pilgrimage into your world,” he explained.

“A very, very long time ago, even before the first songs. Our kind

came into this world through an ancient gateway, fleeing from an

unspeakable terror that was ravaging our own realm. Our home had

become a place of darkness and fear—a place without moonlight.”

   My skin prickled. “What … kind of terror?”

   Memories flickered in the depths of his silver eyes. “There is no

word for them in the human language. We called them skiia—the

devourers. They cannot be bargained or reasoned with. Their only

motive is to drain every drop of magic they possibly can, and as they

do, they spread like a plague.”

   I swallowed and sank back in my seat.

   “We came here as refugees after our own world was overrun,”

Eldrick murmured. “Humankind looked upon us with awe and

adoration. We made our home here, eager to share this beautiful

world with you, but not before sealing away the ancient gateway so

that the evil destroying our own homeland would never find its way

here.”

   “The Fibbing Gate,” I whispered.

   Eldrick’s body shuddered at the name. “I was very young when

it happened. My memories of it have all but faded to nothing. In

that same way, such stories of the gateway have become myths. My

father told them to me as a child.” He ran one of his fingers over the

drawing on the page. “Weeping stones were said to guard it. They

stones are made of iron, which as you know has incredible power

against faerie magic, so that no one would ever be able to open it

again.”

   “Why would my dad be interested in it?”

   His expression steeled as he studied the page. “I don’t know,” he

finally admitted. “But there’s someone else who might.”

Release Day Celebration & Giveaway For RAGE OF THE DRAGON KING By J. Keller Ford

 

Welcome to the Release Day Celebration for

Rage of the Dragon King by J. Keller Ford

presented by Month9Books!

Be sure to enter the giveaway found at the end of the post!

Happy Book Birthday, Jenny!

David and Charlotte paid their dues. They traveled to another realm, battled the Dragon King, recovered the all important magic key to the mage tunnels, and found the heir to the throne of Hirth, as promised. Now it's time to go home. There’s just one problem: the powerful crystals needed to activate the tunnels have been stolen…and David’s parents have mysteriously disappeared along with them. Guess who’s not going home to Havendale anytime soon.

Eric Hamden, squire extraordinaire, survived the poisonous knick of a shadowmorth’s blade, rescued the king of Hirth from the bowels of the dragon's lair, and confronted a heartbreaking betrayal that nearly got him killed. Still reeling from the news, Eric sets his sights on a daring rescue only to wind up in a prison of his own with David and Charlotte at his side. But rescues come in strange ways, and before they know it, the three end up in David's hometown of Havendale...and Eric gets a quick schooling in Modern Life 101. He'd rather fight a dragon.

With secrets, lies and betrayals meeting them at every turn, David, Charlotte and Eric soon discover that Havendale isn't the sanctuary they'd hoped for. Even their best-laid plans can't prepare them for the danger that stalks them. This time, no amount of magic or prayers can save them. War has been declared, and in the final battle, someone must make the ultimate sacrifice. Let the battle begin.

Happy Book Birthday, Jennifer!

In exactly twenty-three days, Gryphon will offer his life to Chief Barnabas in exchange for the lives of his best friend and mess brothers. Until then, he must keep his plans from Zo while avoiding the Wolves of the Allied Camp. But Gryphon is not the only one harboring secrets. To spare her own life, Zo has made a blood oath promising to help the Kodiak Clan free their families living as Nameless slaves. When Gryphon learns the truth — that the peaceful life he’d planned for Zo is not secure — he divulges a secret that will give the Allies the upper hand against the Ram.

Now, The Great Move is underway and a final battle between the Wolf, Ram, Kodiak and Raven cannot be stopped. Strength will be tested. Loyalties will be questioned. Alliances will form. In a world of uncertainty and danger, Zo and Gryphon may finally have what they’ve each always wanted.

With her degree in History and Secondary Education, Jennifer had every intention of teaching teens to love George Washington and appreciate the finer points of ancient battle stratagem. (Seriously, she’s obsessed with ancient warfare.) However, life had different plans in store when the writing began. As a proud member of Writers Cubed, and a co-founder of the Teen Author Boot Camp, she feels blessed to be able to fulfill both her ambition to work with teens as well as write Young Adult fiction.

Jennifer has three children who are experts at naming her characters, one loving, supportive husband, a dog with little-man syndrome, and three chickens (of whom she is secretly afraid).

Savage (Dragonrider Legacy #1)

by Nicole Conway

Publication Date:  September 26, 2017

Publisher:  Month9Books

Savage begins the Dragonrider Legacy series, a thrilling companion to the international bestselling Dragonrider Chronicles.

Never send a hero to do a monster’s job.

Forty years have passed since Jaevid Broadfeather brought peace to Maldobar and Luntharda. But that fragile truce will be tested as darkness gathers on the horizon. The vicious armies of the Tibran Empire have crossed the far seas and are threatening to destroy Maldobar completely. Not even the dragonriders can match the Tibran war machines. And after an attempt to awaken Jaevid from his divine sleep fails, the fate of Maldobar is looking grim.

Reigh has never known what it means to be a normal human. Raised amongst the gray elves in the wild jungle of Luntharda, he’s tried everything to fit in. But the dark power within him is bursting at the seams—refusing to be silenced. And while his adoptive father, Kiran, insists this power must be kept secret, Reigh knows he’s running out of time.

As Maldobar burns, the world is desperate for a new hero. Destiny has called, and one boy will rise to answer.

Guest Post-World Building

World building in this series has been a total blast—mostly because I’m getting to delve deeper into what was introduced in the first series. Not to say you HAVE to have read The Dragonrider Chronicles to get this book. You totally don’t. But I am taking what I started there and making it richer, fuller, and really digging into the history of the world.

World building is honestly something I really enjoy. I always start with a map, because geography has such an impact on the way a culture develops, and I go from there. The Maldobar we see in this book is in the midst of rebirth. They’ve just seen the death of a tyrant and the end of a brutal era of war. As the cultures of the humans and elves begin to mesh, Maldobar is redefining itself. Not that all the change has been easy. It’s hard to overcome 20 years of war and hatred. But the proper encouragement and motivations made by those in power have helped to fan the flames of positivity and fuel a new sense of pride and comradery. That may be the only thing that saves them from the foreign threat that the Tibran Empire presents!
