Tag: Lands Uncharted

One person knows of the plot against the royal family and cares enough to try to stop it—the servant girl they banished.

Leah spends her days scrubbing floors, polishing silver, and meekly curtsying to nobility. Nothing distinguishes her from the other commoners serving at the palace, except her red hair.

And her secret friendship with Rafe, the Crown Prince of Imperia.

But Leah’s safe, ordinary world begins to splinter. Unexpected feelings for Rafe surface just as his parents announce his betrothal to a foreign princess. Then she unearths a plot to overthrow the royal family. Her life shatters completely when the queen banishes her for treason.

Harbored by a mysterious group of nuns, Leah must secure Rafe’s safety before it’s too late. But her quest reveals a villain far more sinister than an ambitious nobleman with his eye on the throne.

Can a common maidservant summon the courage to fight for her dearest friend?

We want to offer a huge “Thank you!” to each person who participated in the release of The Final Paladin.

To each of our readers, bloggers, reviewers, cover reveal team, and social media sharers: We couldn’t have done this without you!

Thank you for making T.J. Akers’ release of The Final Paladin memorable.

We especially want to thank each of the bloggers who hosted a stop on our blog tour.

We are thankful for each one of you!

To our readers: Have you read The Final Paladin yet? We would love to know what you think of it. Thank you for taking the time to read our books and support our authors. You’re the best!

Happy reading!

P.S. What’s next for L2L2 Publishing? In the next couple of weeks, we will be revealing our full 2018 production schedule, the cover of Common by Laurie Lucking, and more details about new author Pam Halter and her high-adventure book, Fairyeater.

Happy Thanksgiving, L2L2 readers, authors, and team!

The Final Paladin’s blog tour begins tomorrow!

To begin, we have both a historical peek into the world of The Final Paladin with a visual post on Liv K. Fisher’s blog, then a review of the book by Gretchen Engel.

Here is the schedule:

And here is a little more about the book itself:

Life for Peg Bowman is rough in the infamous slums of Five Points, New York, but her brother’s murder changes everything.

Thrust into incredible worlds beyond any story she’s ever heard, Peg meets Sir Godfrey, an eleven-hundred-year-old knight from Charlemagne’s court, trainer of Paladins. He reveals to Peg her family’s ancient obligation to protect the Key of Apollyon, a relic of immense power. She is the last descendant of the Paladins and his only hope for keeping it safe.

When Godfrey confides her brother was murdered because of the Key, Peg rejects her calling and demands revenge, a luxury she can ill afford as otherworldly creatures seek her death to claim the Key’s power for themselves.

Can Godfrey and his faithful retinue—Chim the Hobgoblin, Rebecca the Jewish Maven and healer, and Jack the sometimes human and sometimes seven-foot Black Dog—keep her safe and convince her that her calling is worth pursuing? Or will she succumb to the Key’s lure and wield it for revenge?

Enjoy!

And don’t forget to join us for the Facebook launch party.

Happy reading!

About the Author:

T.J. Akers desires to be a multimillionaire when he grows up and give his wealth to his favorite causes: churches, schools, and animal shelters. Since the millions have been slow in coming, he’s settled for working as a computer technician for a state university and volunteering at his church and local animal shelter. Whenever possible, he indulges his love of writing stories to entertain people, especially younger readers.

Akers holds a Masters of English from Minnesota State University, Mankato, and can often be found roaming the university’s library, especially the children’s and young adult sections. Librarians have always been his heroes.

He lives with his beloved wife of thirty years, his dog, and two cats. The dog is an excellent writing companion, but the cats have proven to be rather critical. Learn more at www.tjakers.com.

“Deanna Fugett’s writing is gritty, fast-paced, and absorbing. Once falling into her stories you’ll be pleasantly lost in a well-crafted world where characters explore hard questions and truth resonates deep.”
~Brandy Vallance, Award-Winning Author of The Covered Deep

*

“Deanna Fugett seeks to create more than memorable characters. She truly desires for her readers to dig deep within themselves to expose the sort of moral questions that ultimately a faith in God can answer. She hopes that through her writing the audience will not only unearth their own bravery, but know that while evil exists in our world, good will conquer in the end. Her passion for her readers is evident in each sentence she crafts.”
~Lauren Brandenburg, Author of the Boone Series, MG Fantasy

*

“Ending Fear is an engrossing, thrilling read! From the first sentence, the reader is plunged into Fear’s world. Add this dystopian novel to your library because Deanna Fugett is a bold new voice in speculative fiction.”
~J.M. Hackman, Author of Spark

We want to thank all of the amazing bloggers who signed up for Reconciliation’s blog tour! Each of you made Amy Brock McNew’s release week exceptional, and we could not have reached so many of our readers without you.

We also want to give more of our readers the opportunity to visit any of the fun posts Amy and these bloggers worked so hard on.

Also, for those of you who haven’t heard, the first book in the Reluctant Warrior Chronicles, Rebirth, made the long list for the INSPY awards. The judges will be reviewing Rebirth alongside a phenomenal list of Speculative fiction for the top five and ultimately the winner of this year’s INSPY award. (And of course we think that book should be Rebirth, but we may be slightly biased…)

Congratulations, Amy Brock McNew!

And we recently received word that both Zombie Takeover by Michele Israel Harper and Rebirth by Amy Brock McNew have been nominated for a reader’s choice award, the Christian Small Publisher’s Book of the Year Award.

Congratulations, both of you!

Since this is a reader’s choice award, our readers are encouraged to vote for both of our titles. You may vote once, and voting ends on March 31st.

You can vote for our authors here.

To each of our readers, authors, and supporters: Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

And Happy Reading!
