AN ALL-NEW EPIC FANTASY

The book cover for A Song to Wake a Thousand Sorrows by Michelle Manus. The title is in gold text against a black background with a red vortex.

A woman with unimaginable power. A king hellbent on ruling the world. An ancient force that could mean salvation or destruction.

The survivor of a brutal childhood, Clare Brighton craves the kind of wealth and notoriety that will mean the horrors of her past can never again touch her. With nothing but a battered guitar and a Songweaver’s talent, she comes to the capital of the Faelhorn Provinces, determined to gain her place.

But there is another, more dangerous power that dwells within Clare. An entity she calls the Song, it is ancient and fathomless…and no longer content to be held in the cage she has trapped it in. It is a power the ruthless Jackal King has long been searching for, and should he discover she possesses it, the cost will be far greater than her life.

Clare has sworn that she will never again let anyone control her. But escaping the Jackal King’s notice will require the one thing she never wanted to need: help. It will come first from the two lords who have taken her under their wing. Next from the second prince of Faelhorn, who Clare alone knows is not what he seems. And finally, from the Song itself.

The Song has the strength to save her—if it doesn’t destroy her first.

Since her loss on Kyvren, Nyx has had only one focus: finding Kiev A-Morridahn. Killing him won’t take away her pain, but it might let her sleep at night.

It’s a mission she intends to complete alone, but when her friends track her down—angry and dealing with the same loss in their own way—she’ll have to accept that when it comes to family, there is no going it alone.

The book cover for Guardian of Exile by Michelle Manus. Features a brunette woman holding a sword while looking down. A large griffin walks beside her against a gold and pink background. The entire cover has a contemplative feel.

Readjusting to normal life at the Station isn’t as easy as Nyx Fortuna would like, so she isn’t too upset at having another problem to distract her. Namely, finding Tristen Veld, the exiled Shaman who is her only chance at freeing Griff and the Stations.

The catch? The only information she has on his whereabouts is that he was living in Dead Earth fifteen years ago. Tracking him down is difficult enough, but when she does, he isn’t at all what Nyx expects. Life hasn’t treated him kindly, and it’s left the exiled Shaman cynical and angry.

Nyx, not exactly full of hope herself these days, isn’t sure she’s the right person to convince him to help her, but she has to try. And the funny thing about convincing someone else that life is worth fighting for? Sometimes, you convince yourself of the same thing along the way.
