    Capture the Crown, Gargoyle Queen #1, will be out on July 6. Woot! Capture the Crown is set in my Crown of Shards epic fantasy world, and the heroine is Gemma Ripley. The book is up for pre-order:

    CAPTURE THE CROWN DESCRIPTION:

    Bestselling author Jennifer Estep returns to her Crown of Shards world with an all-new trilogy and a bold new heroine who protects her kingdom from magic, murder, and mayhem by moonlighting as a spy.

    Gemma Ripley has a reputation for being a pampered princess who is more interested in pretty gowns, sparkling jewelry, and other frivolous things than learning how to rule the kingdom of Andvari. But her carefully crafted persona is just an act to hide the fact that Gemma is a powerful mind magier – and a spy. 

    Gemma is undercover, trying to figure out who is stealing large amounts of tearstone from one of the Ripley royal mines when she encounters Prince Leonidas Morricone of Morta – her mortal enemy. Gemma tries to steer clear of the handsome prince, but when she finds herself behind enemy lines, she reluctantly joins forces with Leo. Also coming to Gemma’s aid is Grimley, her beloved gargoyle.

    Despite the fact that Andvari and Morta are old, bitter enemies, a dangerous attraction sparks between Gemma and Leo. Further complicating matters is Leo’s murderous family, especially Queen Maeven Morricone, the mastermind behind the infamous Seven Spire massacre.

    The closer Gemma gets to the stolen tearstone, the more deadly plots she uncovers. Everyone is trying to capture the crown, but only one queen can sit on the throne …

    Note: Gemma Ripley was first introduced in Kill the Queen, book #1 in my original Crown of Shards series. Gemma was 12 years old then; in the new series, she is 29 years old. Some of the characters from my original Crown of Shards will make cameo appearances in the new series, but this is very much Gemma’s story.

    Jennifer’s book release schedule for 2021 …

    As of right now, here is my book release schedule for 2021:

    March 16 – LAST STRAND, Elemental Assassin #19:

    You can pre-order the ebook now, and the print book/audiobook links should be going online soon. I’ll share those when they are available.

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

    This will be the last Gin Blanco book for a while, due to my writing deadlines on other books/projects. However, I am planning to write some novellas about the secondary characters.

    May 18 – Ebook/print book for A SENSE OF DANGER, Section 47 standalone:

    I will be self-publishing the ebook/print book for A Sense of Danger, and I will share those links when they go online. A Sense of Danger is available in audiobook right now:

    A Sense of Danger focuses on Charlotte Locke, an analyst, and Desmond Percy, a cleaner (aka assassin). Both Charlotte and Desmond work for Section 47, a secret government agency that tracks paramortal bad guys, and they have to team up to figure out who wants them both dead.

    July 6 – CAPTURE THE CROWN, Gargoyle Queen #1:

    This book is set in my Crown of Shards world and takes place about 16 years after the events of Crush the King. My new Gargoyle Queen trilogy will focus on a grown-up Gemma Ripley (from Protect the Prince) as she tries to get to the bottom of a plot against her kingdom.

    A NOTE ABOUT PUBLISHING DATES AND OTHER PROJECTS

    1) The release dates for these books *probably* won’t change, but I just never know what might happen due to various publishing whims, etc. Just keep in mind that many book release dates have changed due to the pandemic.

    2) I also have a few smaller projects – a Beauty and the Beast-themed short story, etc. – in the works that I also hope to release in 2021. I’ll post more info about those projects as it becomes available.

    3) I’m excited to share the books with you all. I think my schedule this year is a nice mix of new and old series, and I hope you enjoy reading more about Gin and getting to know Charlotte and Gemma better. 😎 

    What books are you looking forward to this year?
