Advance Reading Copy of Rethana's Surrender!
As you might already know, my newest novel is coming out within the next two weeks! This one is epic fantasy: another world, magic, intrigue, danger, swords, and fantastical creatures. I've been writing stories in this universe for twenty years, and this particular novel has been in the works since 2003.
But in spite of my possessiveness, I am excited to let you read it. Early. As in, before it's published.
That's right, dear inklings! I have Advance Reading Copies available!
I only have digital copies available, but they should be readable on whatever you're using to read this blog post. On Thursday, I'll send review copies to the first hundred people who comment below. All I'd ask in return is that you write me a review at the digital vendor(s) of your choice. Blog posts are welcome too, of course.
Aaron is going to send his horde of fantasy readers over here to get their ARCs from me, so get your bid in early!
Legends of the Light-Walkers: Rethana's Surrender is the story of 20-year-old Rethana Chosardal who can use fun and visually cool magic, but she's not supposed to use it. For one thing, it freaks the natives out. For another, her family has spent the last ten years in hiding from the ruling class of magic-wielding clerics.
When the magic-wielding clerics show up and take Rethana and her sister captive, this is not a good thing.
Also, Aaron recommends that I tell you: In grand The Princess Bride tradition, *this is a kissing book*.
Finally, a shout-out to Adele Lorienne for the lovely cover art that completely blows my mind every time I look at it. Adele, thank you for your stunning work!
UPDATE: The ARC request deadline has passed. But if you want to get your hands on a copy of Rethana's Surrender, it is now available for purchase at Amazon and Barnes & Noble!
If you've read the novel, you can also post your reviews at those two links as well as at Goodreads.

Hello. It just turned to June the 25th in Pakistan, but sadly I just read about the advance reading copies. I know that it might be a little too late, but can I also get a copy? I would really appreciate the gesture.
