Typically I’ll share book reviews and things, and sometimes I’ll get to see a book cover before everybody else, which is kinda great when you’re super excited to read said book. Of course, we have to wait to read it until May 2024.

I know. That feels like forever!

Good news is, if you haven’t read this series yet, you’ve got time to get in on the action!

What’s the series called?

The Droseran Saga by Ronie Kendig

Brand of Light, Dawn of Vengeance, Shadow of Honor, and War of Torment

This action-packed, science fantasy/space opera series is four books and has a beautifully painful set of character arcs that will have you loving and hating every moment.

All four books are available now.

BUT bonus is the upcoming prequel!

What’s it called, you ask?

Lady of Basilikas

Now, the name might not mean much to you at the moment, but if you read the series, it’ll be about as exciting for you as it is for me. The story is a stand-alone, so you don’t haaaave to read the series, BUT but but I highly recommend you do for the full enjoyment of each part of this saga.

Now for the cover reveal, and then I’ll tell you what it’s about.

LADY OF BASILIKAS

What it’s about

She’s determined to prove this errant king unworthy. He’s determined to prove her wrong. 

Under attack from without and within, Jherako teeters on the brink. Vaanvorn Thundred, suddenly in possession of a throne he never expected to inherit, will do anything to pull his kingdom from the edge, even if it means striking a marriage bargain with the formidable Faa’Cris. But a skycrawler opens Vorn’s eyes to realities outside his world, and his limits are tested. 

Lady Valiriana has one goal when she is sent out from Deversoria: prove this Jherakan king, the one his people call the Errant, unworthy of an alliance with any Faa’Cris. When she exchanges her freedom for that of another, Valiriana finds herself under house arrest—in the king’s house. Determined to take advantage of her proximity, she delves into the depths of the king’s character. What she finds turns her mission on its head. 

Vorn must decide: break a planet-wide Accord, risking his throne and life, or leave his country—his planet—vulnerable to threats far bigger than he ever imagined. And Valiriana grapples with unpalatable truths as she discovers the king is anything but errant, while her heart, on the other hand, is a different story.

Other fun fact is that Ronie Kendig is a multi-talented author of this and other genres and she’s REALLY really nice as a human being.

You can preorder Lady of Basilikas now

AND

I am asking that you at least put the Droseran Saga on your TBR and Goodreads! Pretty please. 🙂

Definitely request these books at your local library so that lots of people can have the opportunity to read them.

What do you think? Is this series something you’d be interested in? Have you ever tried reading science fantasy and/or space opera? If you like Star Wars and that sort of story-telling where there is a huge universe and giant world for your characters to get lost in but also has multifaceted characters and a plot that can fill space, then this is a series for you.
