Welcome to A Month of Rain and Reads, a celebration of self-published and indie SFF throughout the entire month of November. To find out how you can take part and view the whole list of content, visit our introduction post.
Today I’m hosting a spotlight for A Queen in Blood by Nick Snape, the third book in the Warriors of Spirit and Bone series that began with A Dragon of the Veil.
Not all heroes carry swords…
As the invasion of Brandshold begins, the realm is haunted by the Infected ‒ devastated and spirit-poisoned townsfolk who hunger for flesh and souls to salve their pain. When the city of Jense falls to a wave of bloody teeth and foul claws, the Constructor’s Emperor strikes, shattering city walls with his newly awakened artifice dragon, and the dreaded Kraken soulship.
Forced to turn to the reviled Unspoken, the queen sends her army to rescue the heretic city of Anvil, while the Seven Houses finally reveal their soul-magic to defend the realm.
For a queen bathed in the blood of her own people, hope lies in the alchemy of the meisters, a traitorous mechanical dragon, and loyal but broken soldiers.
Yet Sura retains faith in Laoch, believing he will return with a weapon like no other, as the final battle for the souls of the realm nears its catastrophic end.
For peace can only be forged by the spirits of the fallen.
A Queen in Blood by Nick Snape is the third book in the Warriors of Spirit and Bone series.
About the Author
Nick Snape blogs reviews for FanFiAddict and is an indie author himself, having written the Weapons of Choice, The Scorching and The Wrecking Squad science fiction series as well as the dark fantasy trilogy, Warriors of Spirit and Bone.
Nick has been steeped in science fiction and fantasy since his friends first dragged him from his schoolwork and stuck a book under his nose. Lost to the world of imagination, he became a teacher by accident, though he thoroughly enjoyed developing the joy of reading and writing in his pupils. Having retired after thirty years, he thought it was high time to practise what he preached.
Nick’s books feature everything from all-out, heart-pounding, fast-paced action to thoughtful, character-driven twists on the fantasy and sci-fi genres. Genetics to artificial intelligence, artifice dragons to soul-drinking vampires, nothing is off the menu.
He can be found at:
