What do you all think of the cover of Crystal Caged by the beautifully talented @elise.kova?! You all know how much I'm in love with the Air Awakens series so being able to work with Elise on her street team is a dream come true!! The excitement I felt upon waking up to see the cover reveal of Crystal Cage took the place of my morning cup of coffee!! Instead of giving you the synopsis of Crystal Caged because...well...SPOILERS...here is the synopsis to Vortex Visions, Book 1. You don't have to read the Air Awakens series to be able to read Vortex Chronicles and understand what is happening!! Although, in my biased opinion everyone should read Air Awakens at some point because it is amazing and such a treat that will enhance the experience of the Vortex Chronicles tenfold but Elise wrote the series extension so that you are not obligated to read Air Awakens and can just jump right into the Vortex Chronicles and bask in its epic adventures!! || VORTEX VISIONS SYNOPSIS || Epic Fantasy. Magical Adventures. Slow-burn Romance.Vi Solaris is expected to rule an Empire she's barely seen... but her biggest problem is the dangerous magic that's awakening within her. Now, alongside her royal studies, she's training in secret with a sorcerer from another land. From his pointed ears to foreign tongue, he's nothing like anyone she's ever met before. But he just may be the only one who knows what's happening to her. As Vi fights to get her magic under control, the Empire falters from political infighting and a deadly plague. The Empire needs a ruler, and all eyes are on her as Vi must make the hardest choice of her life: Play by the rules and claim her throne. Or, break them and save the world. This coming of age, epic fantasy is a story of family, sacrifice, sorcerers, and adventure that will ultimately take readers to places they never imagined. Once you step into the magical world of Solaris in VORTEX VISIONS you may never want to leave again! **VORTEX VISIONS is the first book in the young adult, fantasy series Air Awakens: Vortex Chronicles. The entire series is soon to be complete, with books four and five releasing in October 2019 and January 2020, respectively. VORTEX VISIONS is set in the Air Awakens universe, but readers can begin with Vi's story.** SO ARE YOU READY FOR THE BIG REVEAL?! There is no other word to describe this cover than....EPIC!!

Jo and I are going to be celebrating the release of Storm from the East, Book #2 in the Glass Alliance series, that releases on Feb. 11, 2020 with a fun Q&A of all things Dark of the West and author life! I am drafting a Q&A as we speak and I wanted to share this wonderful moment with you and see if you had any questions you would love to ask Joanna! Leave me a comment below with your question and it could be featured in our exclusive Instagram Live author chat on January 15, 2020 at 8pm CST as well as the Q&A which will be posted on my blog!! ~||DARK OF THE WEST SYNOPSIS||~ • Aurelia Isendare is a princess of a small kingdom in the North, raised in privilege but shielded from politics as her brother prepares to step up to the throne. Halfway around the world, Athan Dakar, the youngest son of a ruthless general, is a fighter pilot longing for a life away from the front lines. When Athan’s mother is shot and killed, his father is convinced it’s the work of his old rival, the Queen of Etania—Aurelia’s mother. Determined to avenge his wife’s murder, he devises a plot to overthrow the Queen, a plot which sends Athan undercover to Etania to gain intel from her children. Athan’s mission becomes complicated when he finds himself falling for the girl he’s been tasked with spying upon. Aurelia feels the same attraction, all the while desperately seeking to stop the war threatening to break between the Southern territory and the old Northern kingdoms that control it—a war in which Athan’s father is determined to play a role. As diplomatic ties manage to just barely hold, the two teens struggle to remain loyal to their families and each other as they learn that war is not as black and white as they’ve been raised to believe. Any questions? Leave them in the comments on this blog post! |
