     Crush the King, Crown of Shards #3, will be released March 17. Woot! 😎 

    This book will be the conclusion to Evie’s story. I am planning to write more books in my Crown of Shards world, although they will be from another character’s point of view. I should have more news to share on the new series soon.

    Crush the King is up for pre-order at all the usual sites. The ebook, print book, and audiobook will all be released on March 17:

    CRUSH THE KING DESCRIPTION:

    A fierce gladiator queen must face off against her enemies in an epic battle in this next thrilling installment of New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Estep’s Crown of Shards series—an action-packed adventure full of magic, murderous machinations, courtly intrigue, and pulse-pounding romance.

    Queen Everleigh Blair of Bellona has survived the mass murder of the royal family, become a fearsome warrior trained by an elite gladiator troupe, and unleashed her ability to destroy magic. After surviving yet another assassination attempt orchestrated by the conniving king of Morta, Evie has had enough. It’s time to turn the tables and take the fight to her enemies. 

    There is no better opportunity to strike than during the Regalia Games, a time when warriors, nobles, and royals from all the kingdoms come together to compete in various sporting events. With the help of her loyal friends, Evie goes on the attack at the Regalia, but things don’t turn out the way she hopes. Soon, she is facing a terrifying new threat, and she will have to dig deep and learn even more about her growing magic if she has any chance of defeating her foes.

    Because to secure her throne and ensure her kingdom’s survival, Evie must think like a true Bellonan: she must outsmart and outwit her enemies . . . and crush the king.

    I hope everyone enjoys the conclusion to Evie’s story when it it released. Thanks! 😎

    Read it now — Spartan Destiny, Mythos Academy spinoff #3, has been published …

    I have self-published Spartan Destiny, Mythos Academy spinoff #3, today, Jan. 14. Woot! Woot!

    This will be the last book in the series. Spartan Destiny is available at:

    SPARTAN DESTINY EBOOK:

    Amazon Kindle B&N Nook Apple Books Google Play Kobo Smashwords

    SPARTAN DESTINY PRINT BOOK:

    SPARTAN DESTINY AUDIOBOOK:

    The Spartan Destiny audiobook will be released on March 24. It is up for pre-order at Tantor. I will share the other audiobook links when they are online.

    SPARTAN DESTINY DESCRIPTION:

    This Spartan makes her own destiny . . .

    Most kids at the Colorado branch of Mythos Academy know me as Rory Forseti, the daughter of Reaper assassins. Secretly, I’m a member of Team Midgard, a group of students and adults tasked with stopping Covington, the evil leader of the Reapers of Chaos. For me, the mission is a deeply personal one, since Covington is also the man who murdered my parents.

    When my friends and I get a lead on a powerful artifact that Covington wants to steal, we think we finally have a chance to thwart the Reapers and stop them for good. Team Midgard comes up with a plan, but everything goes sideways, and I’m suddenly in the fight of my life.

    My worst fears might have come true, but I know what my Spartan destiny is—to save my friends, or die trying . . .

    Note: This series is set in my Mythos Academy young adult urban fantasy world. This is a spinoff series, and the new books star Rory Forseti, Gwen’s cousin from Midnight Frost and Killer Frost, books #5 and #6 in the original series. Gwen is NOT the heroine in these books, although she and some of the other characters from the original series make cameo appearances in the spinoff books.

    I hope everyone enjoys the conclusion to Rory’s story. Thanks! 😎
