For all of my fantasy-romance-loving friends,

I must tell you of a spectacular tale of love and adventure that I have enjoyed several times: The Kingmaker Chronicles by Amanda Bouchet. This is an incredible trilogy about a hero I adore and one of the most interesting, unique, and resourceful heroines I’ve encountered over the years. The world-building is phenomenal and the storytelling is fabulous. And while I have not read it yet, there is a new installment in the series available now too!

If you’re looking to escape into a fantastical world with twists, turns, and shocking delights, I highly recommend starting with A Promise of Fire, the first book. My one request: Don’t tell me what happens in the new book about Jocasta. I am saving it for when I’m back in the mood to read fiction again! Congratulations to Amanda Bouchet, an author I’ve never met, but one who really did her job excellently with this story. Well done, creative soul! Thank you for your gift to the world! I will always be grateful you wrote this story. It helped me through some tough times during my own dark night of the soul. I will forever remember Cat and her indomitable courage, bravery, and boldness, as well as that beloved, implacable Sintan warlord. Even now, my heart sighs when I remember their romance. 😍 If you take the plunge into this awesome adventure, I hope you enjoy it immensely!

Happy reading, my friends!

Love,
