Houston, we have a release date!

We are so thrilled to announce that Azriel: Watchmen Saga, Book One by Lee James releases June 15, 2021!

This long-anticipated fantasy will delight readers who love strong characters, fierce warriors, and unconditional love.

Read more about the book here!

From the back cover:

Bree Faro learns early in life that she has only herself to depend on. Due to her feisty nature and unusual ability with a sword, she is educated in every fighting style imaginable and excels at them all. When she’s sent to infiltrate the city of Azriel, she does not expect to find her place among the Watchmen of the Keep, but they welcome her as one of their own.

 

Little does Bree know that her new companions are in danger.

 

An immortal creature lies in wait for any Keeper of the Flame, the city’s water source has dried up, and they are under constant attack from the Yirtzi—former Watchmen reduced to vengeful spirits, who sold their souls for power only to realize the enemy of Yahweh does not translate to the friend of mankind. Not only that, but the Watchmen are fraying. Hostilities come to a head when a Watchman is murdered.

 

Only a Watchman can kill another Watchman, and all eyes shift to Bree.

 

Bree finds herself faced with a choice. Does she engineer the betrayal of the powerful city, or does she embrace her destiny as a true Watchman of Yahweh and find the killer before it’s too late?

We are so thrilled to bring you the compilation of the Firebrand Chronicles, including the full-length novels, Spark, Flare, and Burn, as well as four brand-new short stories.

About the book:

Brenna James went from having no idea what firebrands or alternities were to being trained as Linneah’s foremost firebrand. (And she’s gotta admit, fire powers are freaking awesome.) Pair that with bonding with a griffin and her mother becoming queen, and things need to slow down real quick.

 

Thanks to her many missions across her new alternity, she makes new friends and experiences the deadly Silvastamen forest, travel portals, Starfall, and more. Brenna finds herself growing in ways she never expected.

 

And now her deadliest enemy, Rune, is determined to kill her and take all power for himself. Can she burn like the firebrand she is and take him down? Or will she burn out?

 

This book includes the complete Firebrand Chronicles: Spark, Flare, and Burn, as well as four brand-new short stories.

We hope you’ll love being able to read this series straight through, and if you’re new to the Firebrand Chronicles, we hope you’ll enjoy this feisty heroine and her many adventures in Linneah.

We are dedicated to bringing you clean, adventurous, and fun stories of impossible situations and breathtaking solutions, and we’re so grateful for everyone who takes the time to read our books.

Happy Reading!

Up next: Updates on Azriel by Lee James, Traitor by Laurie Lucking, and Silence the Siren by Michele Israel Harper, the next three releases from L2L2 Publishing!

We cannot tell you how thrilled we are to reveal the cover for the next book in the Banshee Song Series by Laura L. Zimmerman!

Here’s a little about the book itself:

Half-fae banshee, Caoine, is devastated by the loss of her father and couldn’t care less about her high school graduation. Ignorant of an old enemy seeking revenge, she is whisked away to the Unseelie Realm where she learns someone dear to her is being held captive. She vows not to go home until he’s free.

 

Then she finds out she’s trapped, unable to return to the human realm.

 

In order to go home, she must set aside old prejudices and work with a nemesis to survive faerie tricks and fae creatures hungry for human blood. Only then will she discover the secret to her escape and her loved one’s freedom.

 

Aided by an unlikely band of fae, she uncovers more about her banshee powers than she dreamed possible, even as the fae remind her just how human she really is.

 

She’ll take the drama of high school over the pettiness of the fae any day.

And now for the cover!

Thank you so much for joining us today, and watch this space for release dates, blog tours, and release parties for our upcoming releases!

Happy Reading!

L2L2 Publishing is pleased to announce that we have signed a new author.

Before we introduce her to you, we would love to tell you a little about her book. It is stunning!

Azriel

Born in secrecy and hidden away in shame, Bree Faro learns early in life that she has only herself to depend on. Due to her feisty nature and her unusual ability with a sword, Bree is educated in every fighting style imaginable and excels at them all. She is soon trained to be a personal bodyguard of the king.

So when she is sent to infiltrate the city of Azriel, one of the Five Cities of the Valley founded by the Watchmen, she is not expecting to find her place among the Watchmen of the Keep. Taken in by the Watchmen of Azriel, Bree begins to learn who she really is. She soon discovers that Love is real and is beckoning to her with a still, small voice.

Little does Bree know that her companions are in danger. An immortal creature lies in wait for any Keeper of the Flame who would be seduced by her charms, the city’s water source has dried up, and the Watchmen are under constant attack by the Yirtzi—former Watchmen reduced to vengeful spirits, who sold their souls for power only to realize that the enemy of Yahweh does not translate to the friend of mankind.

Not only that, but the Watchmen are fraying. Hostilities come to a head when a Watchman is murdered. Only a Watchman can kill another Watchman, and all eyes shift to Bree.

Bree finds herself faced with a choice. Does she engineer the betrayal of her father’s people, or does she embrace her destiny as a true Watchman of Yahweh and find the killer before it is too late?

This captivating tale is written by the lovely Lee James, a debut author L2L2 Publishing is proud to introduce to our readers.

Lee James writes stories of hope and redemption. Whether she creates fantasy, mystery, or historical fiction, her beautifully awkward characters traverse a dark labyrinth on their journey to a hopeful end. Her work is dedicated to sharing the beauty of Christ, one faith-infused project at a time. A lifelong lover of the written word, Lee started crafting alternate worlds as a child.

Today, she is vehement about the importance of creating and preserving the sanctity of the written word. In that vein, she supports literacy programs and her local libraries. Most importantly, she supports her fellow writers. When not writing, she enjoys photography, watching The Simpsons, and of course, reading.

James lives in Upstate NY and survives the snowy winters by diving deep into fantasy worlds, consuming copious amounts of coffee and chocolate, and pretending she is an authority figure to her two cats. Her one attempt at LARPing ended with three broken toes, so she prefers to do her sword fighting in her imagination.

Keep up-to-date with all of her stories at www.leejameswrites.com. Follow her on Twitter or Instagram @LJamesthewriter or on Facebook @WriterLeeJames.

Welcome, Lee James, to L2L2 Publishing! We cannot wait to share your story with our readers!

Up next: 2020 Production Schedule, 2020 Conference Schedule, and Cover Reveal for Burn: Book Three of the Firebrand Chronicles by J.M. Hackman.
