About the Book
Huntress Ro LeFèvre is offered a job to hunt a pest plaguing the Seven Seas. A siren has been sinking the king of Angleterre’s ships, and in turn, vast amounts of his wealth. Fleeing heartbreak, Ro gladly accepts, but there’s just one problem. The king will credit the Marquis de la Valère, and no other women are allowed on the voyage. Ro will just see about that. Hiring an all-female crew without the king’s knowledge, Ro hopes they will follow her to the Caribbean, not take the gold and flee. But when Ro is plunged deep into the ocean by the siren she’s being paid to kill, presented the sirens’ side of the story at knife point, and pressed to join them or die, Ro must decide whether to complete her mission, join the sirens, or something in between. Before the sirens sink the ship full of men above. This fast-paced, high-action adventure is a Little Mermaid reimagining and the second book in the Beast Hunter series.

Author: Michele Israel Harper
Series: Beast Hunters, Book 2
Genres: Fairy Tale, Fantasy
ASIN: 1943788529
“Ro is back, and I am here for it. Battered from her previous adventures, she launches headfirst into a new one full of excitement, betrayal, and numerous twists. I absolutely loved the tie-ins from various fairytales and Harper’s unique spins on classic stories. If you want a story full of blooming romance, friendship, and sacrificial love, you’ll want to dive head-first into this book.”
– Hope Bolinger, author of the Blaze trilogy and the Dear Hero duology
“Silence the Siren is a fresh take on a classic fairy tale that I did not see coming! Michele Israel Harper weaves a wildly creative tale that will have your heart beating fast with excitement one moment and then breaking the next. Ro is the heroine we’ve all been waiting for. You’ll be rooting for her as she takes on man and sea in this odyssey-esque adventure. Can’t wait to see what Harper does with the rest of the series!”
– Julie Hall, USA Today Bestselling author of the multiple award-winning Life After series
“Michele Israel Harper continues her unique spin on fairy tales well-loved. While the Huntress dives into waters unknown, there is enough familiar and new to keep readers invested in this intricate and expanding world that feels almost as real as our own history.”
– Derrick Elchers, author of The Battle for Art
“Silence the Siren takes readers on a high seas adventure that sets personalities from all over the fairytale spectrum on a crash course with peril and betrayal. Michele Israel Harper offers a delightful cast of characters who struggle with complex emotions, tight dilemmas, the very real frustrations of their own limitations. The story’s deft weaving of resonant retelling and original twists will keep readers enthralled to the last page.”
– Rebecca P. Minor, fantasy author, artist, and Realm Makers founder
“Silence the Siren does not fall into the fairy tale trap of simple good and evil, but features a protagonist who insists there are two sides to a story—and then is frustrated when neither is as honorable and noble as pretended. Perseverance and honesty are as important as strength and ferocity (although we get those, too!). And it’s all in a fascinating world where multiple fairy tales mingle and tangle.”
– Laura VanArendonk Baugh, award-winning author of The Songweaver’s Vow and the Shard of Elan series
“Michele Harper creates a marvelous world in Silence the Siren, where French fairy tales are spun into something new, their golden story-threads woven into lavish, compelling tapestries. From pirates to princesses to sirens, things are never quite what they seem. Enemies become friends and vice versa, magic turns up in the most unexpected places, and the promise of true love hovers on the horizon.”
– Merrie Destefano, award-winning author of Shade: The Complete Trilogy

The next book in the Beast Hunters series, Silence the Siren, releases August 17th, and to celebrate, we’re revealing the next cover in the series!

Sara Helwe Digital Arts has created another fabulous cover for Quell the Nightingale: Book Three of the Beast Hunters.

What to know more about the book? Here you go!

Huntress Ro LeFèvre races back to France with one thought on her mind: get there before her niece succumbs to a sleeping curse—a niece she didn’t even know she had.

 

Ro must use all her skills as a huntress to find the enchantress responsible before the child reaches the point of no return, before she is crushed by the curse’s power and never wakes again.

 

Thanks to her extended time fighting the sirens, she hasn’t much time.

 

Trapped in a tower with a feisty girl who is far too protective of her pet swans and her enormous coils of hair, Ro’s heart is shattered when the mysterious empress known only as the Nightingale keeps Ro from her goal, toying with her as though she has all the time in the world to waste.

 

Where is the blasted Queen of the Fairies when Ro needs her most?

 

This charming and nonstop adventure is a Wild Swans, Rapunzel, and Nightingale mashup, with hints of “The Ballad of Mulan,” and is the third book in the Beast Hunters series.

Isn’t it gorgeous?

Thank you so much for joining us today!

If you happen to share this cover, please tag us at @L2L2Publishing or use the hashtag #L2L2Publishing so that we can like and share your post as well.

Happy reading!

What a beautiful day for a book release!

Traitor by Laurie Lucking is everything you could want and more: intrigue, adventure, and a sweet, sweet romance.

It is the perfect follow-up to Common.

We cannot wait to hear what you think!

About the book:

Princess Penelope has finally found a way to redeem her past mistakes—if only it didn’t require betraying her new fiancé.

 

Princess Penelope has been the object of gossip and ridicule ever since she returned home in disgrace following her failed engagement to the Crown Prince of Imperia. When her father offers a new start in a country far across the sea, she has no choice but to accept.

 

Even if it means another betrothal, this time to a total stranger.

 

Penelope arrives in Delunia determined to avoid bringing further shame upon her family. But her devoted, caring fiancé makes it harder to guard her heart than she anticipated, and rumors of dark magic haunt her with memories she’d rather keep buried far beneath her pristine exterior.

 

When a poverty-stricken village outside the palace gates looks to her as their hope for a brighter future, Penelope embraces the opportunity to make amends for her transgressions. But in order to help, she must manipulate her new fiancé, putting her reputation on the line once more. And her heart.

 

Can Penelope rise above the failures of her past, or will she forever be branded a traitor?

Isn’t that just lovely?

Be sure to join us for the online book launch party this Thursday at 8 PM EST {RSVP right here: www.facebook.com/groups/l2l2bookreleaseparties}, and until then…

Happy Reading!
