    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.

    UNRAVELED DESCRIPTION:

    What could go wrong when you’re trying to unravel a decades-old conspiracy? 

    As the current queen of the Ashland underworld, you would think that I, Gin Blanco, would know all about some secret society controlling things from behind the scenes. I might be the Spider, the city’s most fearsome assassin, but all my Ice and Stone elemental magic hasn’t done me a lick of good in learning more about “the Circle”. Despite my continued investigations, the trail’s gone as cold as the coming winter.

    So when Finnegan Lane, my foster brother, gets word of a surprising inheritance, we figure why not skip town for someplace less dangerous for a few days? That place: Bullet Pointe, a fancy hotel resort complex plus Old West theme park that Finn now owns lock, stock, and barrel. At first, all the struttin’ cowboys and sassy saloon girls are just hokey fun. But add in some shady coincidences and Circle assassins lurking all around, and vacationing becomes wilder—and deadlier—than any of us expected.

    Good thing this assassin brought plenty of knives to the gunfight …

    2 Comments

    WARNING – SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

    MONDAY MORNING MAILBAG

    Question: How do I read the bonus chapters for Only Good Enemies?

    Only Good Enemies 3D cover in a pink background with information about the book tropesAnswer: At the end of the Only Good Enemies ebooks, there is a link to sign up for my newsletter for folks who want to read two bonus chapters from Zane Zimmer’s point of view.

    In case you missed it, click here to go to the signup link. 

    After you sign up for my newsletter, you will get an email that will take you to the Zane bonus chapters. If you don’t get the email, please let me know.

    For the folks who got the audiobook, you can listen to the bonus chapters at the end of the Only Good Enemies audiobook.

    I had originally included Zane’s bonus chapters in Only Good Enemies, but then I thought it would be better to take them out and just have Zane reveal his true actions in the epilogue. But I enjoyed writing the chapters, and I thought they would be a fun extra for readers so I still wanted to share them.

    If enough folks like the bonus chapters, I might do them again for future books if I have any extra material. In the meantime, I hope that everyone is enjoying Vesper and Kyrion’s latest adventure. Thanks for reading!

    My mission? To destroy the Techwave, the dangerous group that has stolen my designs and plans to weaponize them against the Imperium. But when my mission takes an unexpected turn, I’m once again surrounded by enemies and fighting for my life.

    Further complicating matters is Kyrion Caldaren, an arrogant Regal lord whose fate is bound to mine. Kyrion doesn’t realize the two of us still have an unwanted connection that puts us both in grave danger . . . or does he?

    Only Hard Problems set for Feb. 20 …

    MONDAY MORNING MAILBAG
     
    Question: What is next for your Galactic Bonds series?
     
    Answer: Only Good Enemies, book #2, came out in July. Up next will be Only Hard Problems, which will be out on Feb. 20, 2024.
    WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD. If you haven’t read Only Good Enemies yet, you might want to skip reading this post for now.
     
    Only Hard Problems is a 47,000-word book from the point of view of Zane Zimmer. If you’ve read Only Good Enemies, you know that Zane got some pretty shocking news at the end of the book. 😉 
     
    In fact, Zane’s chapter/epilogue in Only Good Enemies was one of my favorite parts of the entire book to write. Why? I really liked the idea of having his character act like a villain through the whole book – and then letting the reader see what Zane was *really* doing the whole time. (insert evil author laughter here)
     
    When I was thinking about what I wanted to write next, I thought it would be interesting to dig into Zane’s character and get his thoughts on Vesper, Kyrion, Asterin Armas, Callus Holloway, and everything else that’s going on in my Galactic Bonds world.
     
    In the first two books, Zane comes across as arrogant and insufferable, and I wanted to show some of the reasoning behind his actions. Plus, it was really fun for me to write a character who is as confident and unapologetic as Zane. I wish I had his swagger in real life. LOL.
     
    I hope everyone enjoys the novella when it comes out.
     
    ABOUT THE PRINT/AUDIOBOOKS:
    There will be print and audiobooks for Only Hard Problems, and those links will go online later this year, after I finish the novella and get everything formatted.
     
    In the meantime, I hope everyone is enjoying Only Good Enemies. Thank you for reading.
