    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 book when it is released. Thanks! 😎

    SPARTAN DESTINY AUDIOBOOK:

    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 when it is released. Thanks! 😎

    4 Comments

    Read it now — Sharpest Sting, Elemental Assassin #18, has been released today, Oct. 8. Woot! Woot! 😎 

    SHARPEST STING EBOOK:

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

    SHARPEST STING PRINT BOOK:

    Sharpest Sting is available in ebook for $5.99 and print book for $14.99. Note that the print book is a trade (larger) paperback like Venom in the Veins — not a smaller mass market like most of the other books in the series. The larger trade paperback is the only print format that I can self-publish. It’s either use that format or not do a print book at all.

    Amazon print B&N printIndieBoundIngramSpark

    Booksellers and librarians can order print copies through IngramSpark.

    ABOUT THE AUDIOBOOK:

    There will be an audiobook for Sharpest Sting. Unfortunately, I do not have a release date for it yet. So if you want to read the book now, you will have to get the ebook or the print book. I’ll share more information about the audiobook on my social media sites as soon as it becomes available.

    SHARPEST STING DESCRIPTION:

    The truth won’t set me free—but it will probably get me killed … 

    As Gin Blanco, aka the assassin the Spider, I’m used to having a target on my back. But ever since I started investigating the secret society known as the Circle, that target seems bigger than ever.

    Still, I’m trying to relax and enjoy the events leading up to my friends’ wedding when I learn that an old enemy has returned to Ashland. And that’s the just beginning of my latest nightmare. Soon, I have Circle goons watching my every move, but I have no choice but to continue searching for a key piece of evidence against the evil group. 

    The deeper I dig, the more horrifying secrets I uncover, and the more dangerous things become for me and my friends. Just when I think I finally have a handle on things, a shocking revelation shatters my heart and leaves me with an ugly realization—that betrayal is the sharpest sting of all …

    As of right now, I am planning to write one more book after Sharpest Sting to wrap up Gin’s storyline. Book #19 probably won’t be out until fall 2020 or later, depending on my writing deadlines.

    I hope everyone enjoys Gin’s latest adventure. Happy reading! 😎
