Between Ink and Shadows Release Day
It's release day for Between Ink and Shadows!
She’ll win back her freedom, even if she has to steal
it.
Nimona Weston has a debt to pay. Her father’s dealings with
the dark society known as the Trust cost Nim her freedom. There’s one way out
of the contract on her life and that’s to bide her time and pay the tithes. But
when the Trust assigns Nim to a task in the king’s own castle, her freedom is
not the only thing she’ll risk.
Warrick Spenser has a secret. As king’s seneschal, he should
be the last soul in Inara to risk association with dark magic, but long-hidden
ties to the Trust are harder to shed than simply cutting the threads. When the
Trust sends a thief to his rooms, Warrick thinks he’s finally found a way to be
rid of them for good. But Nimona Weston is hiding secrets of her own.
Magical contracts, blood-debt accountants, and a deadly
game. A dark and twisty fantasy that pits magic against kings, perfect for fans
of From Blood and Ash and The Shadows Between Us.

Seven Ways to Kill a King Tour Finale

Princess Myrina is done hiding. Determined to remove each of the seven kings who stole her mother’s throne, she has every intention of setting things to right, king by murderous king. Her final mark waits in the castle of Stormskeep where her captive sister--the rightful queen and heir to the kingdom--is held by the worst of the kings. . .
Any grace he’d earned the night before was forgotten. Miri leaned close. “My sister is captive to those murderous kings. If you think, for one moment, I prize my safety over hers—” Her words cut off at his look, because Miri knew all too well the sacrifice Cass was willing to make. He’d only wanted to save her and make her see that the path she was taking would be the death of them all. “I release you from your duty,” she said.
“It’s not different.” It was. Killing to eat was not killing to kill. Wild game was no man. It was only a meal.
Cass was trying to scare her because of what she’d done and because they were getting closer to Pirn and the nearness of executing her plan. But there was no turning back. She had no other choice.
It was an awesome fantasy with lots of drama and a little romance along the way."
She deserved to be scared. But she would not be turned away.
She felt the stillness of Cass and that he did not seem to even draw breath. She wished she’d never spoken, but she couldn’t seem to stop. The kings were only holding Lettie hostage to use as leverage against the sorcerers who were tied to queen’s blood. Once she rose into her full power as heir, Lettie would have to be removed from their game.

She was born a princess. They made her an assassin.
One was an accident. Two a coincidence. By three, they would know. It would be harder, but I would avenge my mother’s death. These kings would pay that price.
Seven cities make up the Storm Queen’s Realm, each of their self-crowned, murderous kings are one of Princess Myrina’s marks. The treasonous curs may have banded together to share a stolen throne, but soon they will fall.
They thought her dead, killed in the massacre. They thought their rule secure, but Myrina of Stormskeep has awoken. With the help of her loyal bloodsworn, the shadow princess of will have her revenge.
For fans of The Witcher and Game of Thrones—a new princess set on vengeance is here to steal your heart.

Seven Ways to Kill a King Tour and Giveaway

Princess Myrina is done hiding. Determined to remove each of the seven kings who stole her mother’s throne, she has every intention of setting things to right, king by murderous king. Her final mark waits in the castle of Stormskeep where her captive sister--the rightful queen and heir to the kingdom--is held by the worst of the kings. A gated city surrounds its walls, allowing no one in. But that’s only to Myrina’s benefit, as a king who would let his people starve was not long on the throne. A princess by birth, she’s vowed to enact retribution and rescue her sister, with no more than her wits and a sword and the last of her queenguard, sworn to protect until the bitter end.
