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 we’re celebrating the release of Wavelord by Nikki McCormack, the third book in the Daughter of Vanris series which began with Wave Dancer and shares the same world as YA fantasy The Warden’s Son.
Come back later in the month for our interview with Nikki McCormack!
After the trauma of the last several months, Veyl is determined to play a part in resolving the rising conflict that threatens Vanris and the people she loves. Together with her friends, she has joined a military unit and is putting herself on the front lines in political negotiations as well.
Her love life remains tumultuous as outside influences and her own mistakes put a strain on her relationship. The possibility of war hangs over them, making any kind of peaceful future, let alone one in which they can be together, look impossible.
A growing number of people are treating her as though she is something special, and now she’s developing abilities she shouldn’t have that are only making her life more confusing. When her enemies make their move, she must master the chaos spiraling around her, or risk losing everything.
Wavelord, the third book in the Daughter of Vanris series by Nikki McCormack, is out now!
