Good morning! I must admit that I’m a little (a month and a half) late on this post, but I want to give a shout-out to some new releases that hit the market in March.
March 5, 2021 – Foretold
by Rachael Krotec
Their fate will be determined by the strength of her heart.
For the last three years, Lilah Crowne has lived isolated on a tropical island, the Consul’s pamphlets being her only remaining connection to the outside world. Though distance could not completely mute the apprehension and terror caused by powerful attacks around the globe, the destruction didn’t feel as palpable until Lilah finds her own island attacked. Then, Lilah comes face-to-face with a member of the Six, throwing her strength to fight without anima into question. Everything Lilah thought she understood about the laws of the world will be capsized as answers to long-wrestled questions stand revealed. Will she be able to put aside past grudges and work with unlikely allies to defeat the unimaginable power of the one behind the attacks, or will the world suffer the mortal consequences of her failure?
March 9th – Rise of the Dragon Queen
by Darrah Steffen
The creatures of old have vanished. Dragonia was once a kingdom where magic roamed freely, but now magic wielders are hunted without mercy. A resistance has formed to fight against the king’s oppression. Legend holds that one called the Dragon Queen will rise to return Dragonia to its former glory.
When Crown Princess Sammaria is kidnapped, the land is thrown into chaos. Her sister Jennica is determined to bring her home safely. Jennica will have to rely on her friends – and the gods – to save her sister, but an ancient force has returned to take control of a weakened Dragonia and threaten her quest. Will Jennica be able to bring her sister home? Will the gods interfere? Will the Dragon Queen rise in time to save the world from destruction?
March 17th – Sentinals Rising
by Helen Garraway @helengarrawayauthor
Jerrol Haven, having rescued the king from the clutches of the malevolent Ascendants, knows the Ascendants haven’t stopped their scheming. Whilst trying to learn more about the mysterious Sentinals he woke from a three-thousand-year sleep, he has to defend his king and country from further magical attacks.
Should he trust the Sentinals in such vital positions? Can he trust them to protect the king and Vespiri? As Jerrol learns more of their capabilities, he realises there are more secrets yet to be revealed. Maybe those questioning their sudden rise in power have a point.
Before he can delve further, a call for help comes from the neighbouring country of Terolia. The nomadic Families are disintegrating into chaotic infighting. The king sends Jerrol to investigate, instructing him to do whatever is needed to protect the Families from the Ascendants.
Sentinals Rising is the action packed second installment in the saga of Remargaren, a vibrant, ancient world of high fantasy suffused with magic and adventure.
March 21, 2021 – Embers: Beastly Curses
by Sky Summers
In a forest where most roads loop back to a giant oak, a boy who loves red T-shirts meets a wolf cursed to be a horrible warning…what can go wrong?
Out of the frying pan and into the fire. For failing to uphold her end of the bargain Grace now walks the world on four paws. Peter, her husband takes up the post of the village huntsman to save his wife from the villagers. And his son from his wife.
Will Ella’s evil stepmother Grace ever be human again? How exactly can you lift a curse and why, oh, why are three-headed dragons and rocking pig trios popping to life in the Magic Kingdom?
Read this new adult retelling of Red Riding Hood (also suitable for young adults) where – yup, Red is a boy – and find out. For those who wanted to know how Prince Charming’s parents got together, there is a nested story of Belle and Beast as well.
March 31, 2021 – Being Remade (Ruling Magic, #2)
by Lissa Bolts
@lissabolts
So the entire mage world is looking for me. Who cares?
I’m not going back.
I’ve finally tasted freedom, and even though I hate that I accidentally left my sort-of-boyfriend behind, there’s no way I’m giving this up.
Not yet.
I’ve got things to do here. If I’m going to change the world, I’ll need to see it first. Preferably before Mother reduces everything to dust, waging her deadly war.
So, I’m blending in. Learning what it takes to be a regular mage. Pretending I’m not the missing Heir plastered all over the news.
The only problem is, keeping my Ruling Powers hidden is proving tougher than I thought. The other mages? They’re starting to notice I’m different.
Sooner or later, they’re going to figure me out. And while not everyone looking for me wants me dead, one thing is clear. If I don’t see this mission through…
It’s game over. For all of us.
