Fire and Fools

Princess Everburn has fire in her blood… literally. It comes with strength that could bend steel, a family history of mild (okay, severe) madness, and an engagement to the insufferable braggart Lord Harriot. When her father the King invites the suitor to woo his daughter in what should be a routine courtship, Everburn gets dragged into romantic nonsense that soon twists into something far more sinister.Because halfway through this book, BAM! Everything changes. (We’d love to tell you how, but, you know… spoilers.) Let’s just say there will be courtroom drama, bare-knuckled brawls, and an alarming amount of white-collar crime for a medieval fantasy setting.Court masks slip. Conspiracies tiptoe through castle halls in velvet slippers. Something is very wrong in the kingdom of Everburn. And its Princess may be the only one with the moxie (and magic inherited from a warlord bloodline that historically considered “negotiation” a four-letter word) to uncover it. But the deeper she goes, the more it threatens to consume her.Oh, and that grinning Elven jester on the cover? Don’t worry about him. He’s completely harmless.Probably.A labyrinthine fantasy jaunt packed with royal intrigue, medieval mayhem, and some good ol’ backstabbing for funzies. Perfect for readers who’ve always wanted to see Game of Thrones meet Blackadder!
