I am enamored by the beautiful promos, which are AI, that are plastered on social media sites. They are eye-catching. Some day I'd like to learn how to make them.
After more than a year, closer to two years, my latest book is in the hands of The Illustrated Author, Melissa Stevens. Fingers-crossed I can get this into the world early next year.
Here's the blurb for RUTHLESS KINGDOM
Born under a scarlet moon, Avianna Morningstar should have been revered and feared, just as the prophecy proclaimed. But Avia is taken to a remote realm where she would be safe from the anarchy festering in the Kingdoms, meanwhile her potential as a sorceress is all but extinguished.
An sinfully attractive tracker is tasked with bringing Avia back to a homeland she has never known in hopes of awakening the power that has lain dormant within her.
The Kingdoms of Verdae and Inkwood are intrigued and unsettled by the sudden return of the king’s illegitimate daughter. And troublesome is the coiling and churning of forbidden black magic throughout the land.
Piqued by the alleged prophecy, the council begins preparations for a Royal Tournament, a competition of magical skills and stamina intended to cull the incompetent. The ultimate sacrifice for weakness is death. In a desperate bid to survive, Avia must learn to unleash her powers.
Regardless, she soon discovers the tournament is a tactical diversion in order to assassinate the king and conquer Verdae. And, Avianna is merely an expendable pawn in this treacherous realm.
Taglines:
Two Kings. Two Kingdoms.
Betrayal cuts deep as one king vows to rule them all.
Snared in a web of deceit, Avia is the unwitting crux.
Sounds like a great book. Expendable pawn? I bet that changes.
