SCAVENGER HUNT POST
Today’s author is Kristin Jacques, author of THE GATE CYCLE, with book 2 coming out in November. Don’t forget to preorder!
In the House of Seven Smiles, Azzy struggles to understand the constraints and limits of her power. She finds the whispering voices that guided her for so long, suddenly silent. The enigmatic Lord Wallach is both a frustrating ally and a dangerous mystery, and a strange entity lurks among the household servants. The haven Azzy sought may not be as safe as she thought… but is anywhere truly safe in the Above?
The city of Avergard is full of monsters and secrets, and a dark history festers at its root. A yawning pit nestles in the house of a scheming lord, who will use Armin’s dangerous gifts to raise history, and raze the city to the ground. As Azzy finds herself and her brother pulled into these machinations, she must navigate the politics and society of Avergard’s brutal ruling class to save her family and friends before the Gate consumes them all.
Nice aesthetic!
Guys, grab a copy of the GATE CYCLE, both books 1 and 2. Because I can give you the meaning of life right now: 42.
That’s your number. Write it down.

I HAVE A BOOK, Y’ALL
ASSASSIN’S BLADE is the first book in the Dragonriders of Fiorenza series.
My father’s been kidnapped.
The kidnappers demand an impossible ransom. If they don’t get it in two weeks, they will kill my father.
So I’ve pulled my assassin grandmother out of retirement.
Together, with my dragon, we’re going to find the kidnappers and rescue my father.
And we’re going to make those bastards pay.
Set in an alternate medieval Italy with dragons and magic, ASSASSIN’S BLADE is for fans of the Venatrix Chronicles by Sylvia Mercedes, or the dragon books of Ursula K. Le Guin and Anne McCaffery. You’ll love taking flight in ASSASSIN’S BLADE.
