    PROTECT THE PRINCE DESCRIPTION:

    Magic, murder, adventure, and romance combine in this second novel in the exciting Crown of Shards saga from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Estep.

    Everleigh Blair might be the new gladiator queen of Bellona, but her problems are far from over.

    First, Evie has to deal with a court full of arrogant, demanding nobles, all of whom want to get their greedy hands on her crown. As if that wasn’t bad enough, an assassin tries to kill Evie in her own throne room.

    Despite the dangers, Evie goes ahead with a scheduled trip to the neighboring kingdom of Andvari in order to secure a desperately needed alliance. But complicating matters is the stubborn Andvarian king, who wants to punish Evie for the deaths of his countrymen during the Seven Spire massacre.

    Dark forces are also at work inside the Andvarian palace, and Evie soon realizes that no one is safe. Worse, her immunity to magic starts acting in strange, unexpected ways, which makes Evie wonder whether she is truly strong enough to be a Winter Queen.

    Evie’s magic, life, and crown aren’t the only things in danger—so is her heart, thanks to Lucas Sullivan, the Andvarian king’s bastard son and Evie’s … well, Evie isn’t quite sure what Sullivan is to her.

    Only one thing is certain—protecting a prince might be even harder than killing a queen…

    BOOK DESCRIPTION:

    The thrilling first novel of the Crown of Shards epic fantasy series combines magic, murder, and adventure when a member of the royal family becomes a contender in a clash for the crown… 

    In a realm where one’s magical power determines one’s worth, Lady Everleigh’s lack of obvious ability relegates her to the shadows of the royal court of Bellona, a kingdom steeped in gladiator tradition. Seventeenth in line for the throne, Evie is nothing more than a ceremonial fixture, overlooked and mostly forgotten.

    But dark forces are at work inside the palace. When her cousin Vasilia, the crown princess, assassinates her mother the queen and takes the throne by force, Evie is also attacked, along with the rest of the royal family. Luckily for Evie, her secret immunity to magic helps her escape the massacre.

    Forced into hiding to survive, she falls in with a gladiator troupe. Though they use their talents to entertain and amuse the masses, the gladiators are actually highly trained warriors skilled in the art of war, especially Lucas Sullivan, a powerful magier with secrets of his own. Uncertain of her future—or if she even has one—Evie begins training with the troupe until she can decide her next move.

    But as the bloodthirsty Vasilia exerts her power, pushing Bellona to the brink of war, Evie’s fate becomes clear: she must become a fearsome gladiator herself . . . and kill the queen.

    Cover art revealed for Winter’s Web — Elemental Assassin #17.5 novella — March 12 …

    I’m pleased to share the cover art for Winter’s Web, Elemental Assassin #17.5. Woot!

    Winter’s Web is $2.99 and will be released on March 12.

    WINTER’S WEB EBOOK:

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

    The cover art was once again done by the awesome Tony Mauro, the artist for the books in the series.

    Winter’s Web is a 27,000-word novella that takes place after the events of Venom in the Veins, book 17 in the Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series. Winter’s Web first appeared in the Seasons of Sorcery anthology in 2018.

    WINTER’S WEB NOVELLA DESCRIPTION:

    An assassin at a renaissance faire. What could possibly go wrong? Everything, if you’re the Spider . . .

    I might be Gin Blanco, aka the assassin the Spider, but even I need a break from the bad guys every now and then. So when Owen Grayson, my significant other, suggests a trip to the Winter’s Web Renaissance Faire, it sounds like a perfect distraction from all my problems.

    The faire starts off innocently enough, but something seems slightly off about the cheery atmosphere and costumed characters. Maybe I’m being paranoid, but I can’t help but feel like I’m trapped in someone else’s icy web—and that they don’t want me to leave the faire alive . . .

    Note: Winter’s Web is a 27,000-word novella that takes place after the events of Venom in the Veins, book 17 in the Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series. Winter’s Web first appeared in the Seasons of Sorcery anthology in 2018.

    MORE ABOUT WINTER’S WEB

    Note #1: There will NOT be a print or audiobook version of the novella.

    Note #2: The Seasons of Sorcery fantasy anthology also features novellas by Amanda Bouchet, Grace Draven, and Jeffe Kennedy.

    I hope everyone enjoys the look at the cover art. Thanks!

    SPARTAN HEART DESCRIPTION:

    New school year, same old problems . . .

    At Mythos Academy, everyone knows exactly who I am: Rory Forseti, Spartan girl and the daughter of Reapers.

    Even though I fought alongside my cousin Gwen Frost to save the mythological world from Loki and his evil Reapers of Chaos, I’m still the most hated girl at the academy because of all the horrible things my parents did. I had hoped that this school year would be different, but the other kids just won’t let me forget about my parents.

    But something strange is going on at the Colorado academy. First, I run into a Viking guy who dislikes me more than most. Then I notice some odd artifacts in the Library of Antiquities. And worst of all, I start hearing rumors about a new group of Reapers who can summon mythological monsters.

    I might be the most hated girl at Mythos Academy, but I’m also the only one who can save it . . .

    I hope that everyone enjoys getting caught up on Rory’s story. Happy reading!

    Cover art reveal for Spartan Promise, Mythos Academy spinoff #2, Jan. 15 …

    I’m thrilled to reveal the cover art for Spartan Promise, Mythos Academy spinoff #2. Woot! 🙂 The cover art was done by the awesome Jenny Zemanek of Seedlings Design Studio.

    Spartan Promise will be released on Jan. 15.

    GET THE  EBOOK:

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

    GET THE PRINT BOOK:

    Amazon print B&N print

    Note: Booksellers and librarians can order print copies of Spartan Promise through IngramSpark.

    ABOUT THE AUDIOBOOK:

    There will be an audiobook for Spartan Promise. Unfortunately, I have no idea when it — or the audiobook for Spartan Heart, book #1 — will be released. So if you want to read the book on release day, you will have to get the ebook or print book.

    SPARTAN PROMISE DESCRIPTION:

    Hunting for the bad guys has never been so dangerous . . .

    My name is Rory Forseti, and I attend the Colorado branch of Mythos Academy, a school of warrior kids, powerful artifacts, and mythological monsters.

    I’m a student, a fierce Spartan warrior, and a member of Team Midgard, a group of kids and adults tasked with stopping the evil Reapers of Chaos. There is one Reaper I’m determined to hunt down above all others: Covington, the man who murdered my parents.

    So when the Midgard gets a tip that Covington is going to try to steal a dangerous artifact, I’m ready to fight. But the situation is far more complicated than it seems, and the Reapers aren’t my only enemies.

    I’ll have to use all my Spartan strength and skills to survive this. And even then, it might be my blood that gets spilled . . .

    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 that everyone enjoys the next chapter in Rory’s adventure when it is released.
