Description

Vaetra is everywhere, but in the world of Mundia almost no one talks about it. Only sorcerers can use the power of vaetra to affect the physical world. Even now, more than 300 years after the Sorcery Accords that ended the terrible Wizard Wars and prohibited sorcerers from ever again holding positions of authority, most of the populace distrusts sorcerers and everything related to sorcery.

Against a serene backdrop of forested mountains, lakes, and mythical creatures, adventure and danger awaits two people who discover they have a lot more in common than either could have imagined.

Jaylan Forester is trying to get his life back together after a series of setbacks. His promising career in the Imperial Guard comes to an abrupt end when he is thrown out for a crime he did not commit. In an effort to reassemble the shreds of his career and dignity, Jaylan takes mercenary contracts with Raven Company, but the work isn’t steady enough. When his partner in the Snow Creek Inn dies, he is thrust into the role of innkeeper—a job he doesn’t want. And now he’s worried that his partner’s daughter Dela is sizing him up for a wedding suit.

Sulana Delano is a Sword Sorceress from the Archives, a mysterious enclave of sorcerers that most people talk about only in hushed tones. Sulana leads a team of Archives agents on a mission to recover a stolen artifact. She is determined to succeed at her first experience as team leader and to protect the Archives from a devious adversary.

When Jaylan’s destiny collides with Sulana’s, agendas clash and old prejudices are tested. They discover that, in spite of their differences, they will need to work together to combat those who would use vaetra for nefarious purposes.

Welcome to KindleBoards, Daniel, and congratulations on your book!  Smiley

Please note that KindleBoards is a Readers and Kindle Fan forum.  Authors are always welcome to post anywhere but, as you browse the 'boards, please keep in mind that self-promotion, of any sort, is ONLY allowed here in the Book Bazaar.

A brief recap of our rules follows: (Note that this doesn't mean you've done anything wrong; we just want you to have a ready reference, so post this note in every thread. Smiley )

--Please bookmark this thread (using your browser's bookmark/favorite function) so you can update it and add to it when there is more information, as we ask that authors have only one thread per book.  You may start a separate thread for each book (or you may have one thread per series of books, or one thread for all of your books, it's your choice). If you start a new thread when you already have one, it will be deleted without comment or warning.

--We invite you to use your book cover as your avatar and have links to your book and website in your signature. Instructions are posted here

--While you may respond to member posts to your thread at any time, you may only bump your thread (back-to-back posts by you) once every seven days.  Once you've responded to a member, that resets the clock to zero and you must wait seven days to post, unless another member posts before then. If you post prematurely, the post will be deleted without comment.

--We ask that Amazon reviews not be repeated here as they are easy to find at your book link.  Also, full reviews from other sites should not be posted here, but you may post a short blurb and a link to the full review instead.

--Although self-promotion is limited to the Book Bazaar, our most successful authors have found the best way to promote their books is to be as active throughout KindleBoards as time allows.  This is your target audience--book lovers with Kindles!  Please note that putting link information in the body of your posts constitutes self promotion; please leave your links for your profile signature that will automatically appear on each post.  For information on more ways to promote here on KindleBoards, be sure to check out this thread:
Authors: KindleBoards Tips & FAQ.

All this, and more, is included in our Forum Decorum.  Be sure to check it from time to time for the current guidelines and rules.

Thanks for being part of KindleBoards!  Feel free to send us a PM if you have any questions.

Here's the "short" blurb for the book. The original post has more, plus the book web site is in my signature.

Quote
Jaylan Forester is trying to get his life back together after losing his position as Captain of the Imperial Guard. He takes a promising mercenary contract, but it goes instantly out of control when he discovers his client is on the run for stealing a magical artifact. Now he must learn to overcome his distrust of sorcerers and magic long enough to help an intriguing Sword Sorceress recover the artifact. Along the way, he discovers that he and the sorceress have more in common than either could have guessed.

The book is available now through June for 99 cents on Amazon.com. The excerpt gives you the first three chapters. Click the book cover in my signature or in the original post to visit the book's Amazon.com page.

Enjoy!
