Author: Toni Cox

Genre: YA Fantasy

Editor: Sam Talarico

Cover Designer: Julie Nicolls

Publication Date: August 25^th, 2020

Hosted by: Lady Amberâ€™s PR

Blurb: Amongst the chaos of the magical kingdom of Draeguard being attacked by strange dark magic, fae princess Dana discovers she has mysterious powers. To save her the king begs her to leave him to his fate.

Now Dana must unravel the mysteries of her powers while fending for herself in a land she thought she knew all while finding a way to save her father and the kingdom.

Moonstones, a witch, dark elves, and a wolf shifter all stand in her way as she tries to absolve her father of the atrocities the fae folk accuse him of.

Blurb: Princess Danaâ€™s father is back on the throne, but the constant attacks of dark magic undermine his rulership. With the dark elves now in possession of some of the moonstones, the balance of power has shifted.

Desperate, Princess Dana once again seeks the help of the witch and the wolf shifter, but she canâ€™t always be certain if they are friend or foe.

Her only hope to save the kingdom is to return the moonstones to the fae palace but to do so requires that they travel to the enchanted forest of Raven Hall.

Forest wolves, malicious plants, and a gryphon turn this into a perilous journey.

Blurb: A long-kept secret changes the face of the kingdom of Draeguard, and Princess Dana faces yet more life-altering decisions.

Although Arianna has returned to the fae kingdom and pledged her allegiance, her presence there is more problematic than Dana could ever have imagined.

The dark elves, livid at their defeat in the woods, summon a secret weapon, and ready themselves for battle, resuming their attacks on the country of Wiltera.

Desperate for help, the fae princess leaves the magical realm and steps into the human world.

A price on her head, deceit, and assassination all threaten the success of her quest.

Blurb:

The fae kingdom has suffered the most significant loss after the last fight with the dark elves.

After a personal attack on Princess Dana, she decides to take matters into her own hands. No longer does she believe that the kingdom of Draeguard will be able to save Wiltera.

It is now up to her to return the stones to the fae and to enact the new laws as she promised the country.

With a ragtag army of legendaries, she marches forth to fulfil her prophecy.

A magical forest, light elves, dark elves, and trickery lie before them. The planetsâ€™ alignment with the moon is drawing nearer, and so is their impending doom.

Review

There is a lot going down at Camp Lenape.

Even though this is only a MG/YA book, I felt it needed more depth & character definition. But it still wasn’t a bad story, and it did keep my interest.

Part mystery, part fun, tiny part romance. Camp Lenape is told from two POVs, Marcus & Alissa. That coupled with the dual narrators really added to the story.

When Marcus’ sister goes missing, he and Alissa stumble on a few deadly secrets at the camp. It’s not just another day camp in Camp Lenape.

The narration is also done with two narrators, Brittany Goodwin and James David West. Both did a great job bringing the story to life.

L. C. Son has the life she's always imagined and more. A wife to one and mom to three kids and a very regal Beagle, she would say she is living a life full of awesomeness!

Growing up, she spent hours reading comic books she "borrowed" from her older brother which inspired her love for heroes and all things fantasy and paranormal. Much like the characters she adored, she lives a duplicitous life. By day she works tirelessly to champion the employment of persons with severe disabilities. By night she puts on her wife-mom cape, sharing with her husband at their church and juggling their kid's very active schedules.

Writing has always come second nature to her and a skill she uses in her professional career. The Beautiful Nightmare series is her first published work and she's thrilled to finally bring to life the characters that have lived in the creative corners of her mind.

Author: Mercedes Rochelle
Narrator: Kevin E. Green
Length: 9 hours 28 minutes
Publisher: Mercedes Rochelle⎮2020
Genre: Historical Fiction
Series: The Last Great Saxon Earls, Book 3

In 1066, the rivalry between two brothers brought England to its knees. When Duke William of Normandy landed at Pevensey on September 28, 1066, no one was there to resist him. King Harold Godwineson was in the north, fighting his brother Tostig and a fierce Viking invasion. How could this have happened? Why would Tostig turn traitor to wreak revenge on his brother?
The Sons of Godwine were not always enemies. It took a massive Northumbrian uprising to tear them apart, making Tostig an exile and Harold his sworn enemy. And when 1066 came to an end, all the Godwinesons were dead except one: Wulfnoth, hostage in Normandy who took on the task to preserve the history of his famous siblings.

The Battle of Hastings Did Not Take Place at Hastings
By Mercedes Rochelle

On my first trip to England I was terribly excited to tour the battlefield of Hastings, and we headed to the town of that name in our rented car. Mind you, this was in the early ’90s, before the internet and easy access to unlimited information. I had all my sketches of the battle itself, but I was kind of unclear as to exactly where it was fought. I figured I’d see signs pointing the way, or something…actually, I’m not sure just what I expected to find! What I didn’t expect was to find the town of Hastings, and no mention of a battlefield anywhere. What a panic!
Luckily, Brits and Americans DO share a common language, and a kind soul pointed us in the right direction. We eventually found our way to the town of Battle, a little over 6 miles to the northwest of Hastings. Needless to say, it’s called Battle for a reason! There is an abbey ruin on the site, aptly named Battle Abbey, the altar of which was built on the very spot that Harold Godwineson was killed (as per King William’s instructions). And behind the abbey we found the battlefield, appropriately marked with signboards depicting the stages of the battle.

When Duke William landed his fleet on the shores of Britain, he chose the bay of Pevensey, which was a welcoming haven with an old Roman fort, improved by Harold Godwineson and just recently vacated when the Saxon army marched north to Stamfordbridge. However, Pevensey was surrounded by marshland and could not support the army, so William moved his army east to Hastings. There he erected one of his portable (prefabricated) fortifications near the little harbor. Intending to alarm the Saxons as well as live off the land, he laid waste to southeast England. After a couple of weeks he progressed northward toward London, where he was confronted by the exhausted Saxons in their last stand.

Why is it called the battle of Hastings? Well, as recently as the 19th century the battle was referred to as the Battle of Senlac; apparently, the venerable historian Edward A. Freeman created quite a controversy by using (or inventing?) this name, which translates to lake of blood. The town of Battle would have been built around the abbey, so it didn’t exist in 1066; Hastings was probably the closest village to the battlefield. Interestingly, no archaeological evidence has been found at the site for any kind of battle, and historians have speculated alternative locations. Even Tony Robbins did a Time Team episode, and concluded that the battle may have been fought right in the middle of the town rather than the traditional field site.
