Sixteen-year-old coaster Eiric Halvorsen does not look to the dead gods for help. Instead, he relies on the weapons inherited from his fadir and grandfadir to protect their farm at Sundgard. But now he’s been accused of a murder, and he knows the local council will declare him an outlaw, and seize his farm.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">The spellsinger and runecaster Reggin Eiklund serves the eldrjotun Asger Elder, traveling from town to town, performing in ale halls and longhouses. While Asger provides protection from the other monsters infesting the archipelago, she is desperate to escape her demon master. A chance encounter provides Eiric and Reggin a possible way out—if they are willing to take the risk.<br />The Runestone Saga--a duology that bristles with the magic, lust, swordplay (axe-play?), flawed heroes and complicated villains my readers have come to expect. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhOhiDaYw6DDaJHJPLGMVYkd8FLniM6YODlv0ZyoCgqFKuw4UglpKlWIKaZ0UJ8xqC1XVmiJ3Y3RB5yU7brGVtViRM8mwOUI_7Bgm4iMrRAc_iTEpd2yWjOFjBu643KY-RvG7zZGkdknc4cJY83r46BeVO2V5xmIJJgqkuJARlTbZnCl0hQXBHZ1j50lA=s486" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="486" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhOhiDaYw6DDaJHJPLGMVYkd8FLniM6YODlv0ZyoCgqFKuw4UglpKlWIKaZ0UJ8xqC1XVmiJ3Y3RB5yU7brGVtViRM8mwOUI_7Bgm4iMrRAc_iTEpd2yWjOFjBu643KY-RvG7zZGkdknc4cJY83r46BeVO2V5xmIJJgqkuJARlTbZnCl0hQXBHZ1j50lA=s320" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div><span style="font-family: Fjalla One; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p></o:p></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p></o:p></p>CindaChimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14485071691944578189noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089262993178320546.post-565000049709278232021-10-14T21:36:00.001-04:002021-10-14T21:46:23.363-04:00<p><b><span style="font-size: large;">Hey, Kentucky!!

THIS JUST IN!<br />
I'll be at Kids Ink in Indianapolis this Sunday August 26 rom 2-3:30 for a chat and signing. This is the first event I've ever done in Indianapolis, and looking forward to hanging out with all of you!<br />
<br />
Kids Ink says: The "Shattered Realms" books are "Game of Thrones" for the YA set and a must-read for fans of epic fantasy. If you enjoy life and death fights against tyrants, a touch of romance, and teens struggling to change the previously unquestioned traditions of their parents, you'll love Chima's work.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: 20px;"><span style="font-family: "comic sans ms" , "marker felt-thin" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Three rival armies rip the Seven Realms apart as the Ardenine empire descends into chaos. Young commander Hal Matelon has committed himself to the queendom in the north, but finds himself embroiled in a deadly civil war in the south between King Jarat and the rebellious thanes.<br /><strong>A Bitter Bargain</strong><br />Anxious to return to the Fells and yet remain free of the empress's blood curse, the Gray Wolf heir Alyssa ana'Raisa makes a bitter bargain. She agrees to lead Celestine's bloodsworn army into the heart of the realms. If she fails to meet Celestine's expectations, she stands to lose her family, her queendom, and her life.<br /><strong>A Final Battle</strong><br />Unable to free Alyssa from Celestine's stronghold in the Northern Islands, Ash and Jessa fly back to the Seven Realms, hoping their powerful dragon allies can turn the tide of the war. Meanwhile, Evan Strangward and Breon d'Taros set out to break the empress's hold on the desert coast. In the process, they begin to solve the puzzle of they magemarks and their magical birthright.</span></span><br />

Many thanks to citizens of the realms who assisted the queendom in hunting down the notorious pirate Evan Strangward, also known as Stormcaster. While the brigand is still at large, his image is plastered all over the internets and we have no doubt that he will soon be in custody. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We have randomly chosen one citizen to receive a pirate's hoard of stories and swag. Congratulations to <b>Jaxon Mader !</b> He will be receiving signed hardcovers of the Shattered Realms series to date--assuming that Strangward's stormborn crew doesn't find him first. If you know Jaxon, you might want to warn him--er--congratulate him on his good fortune!</div>

<b>Stormcaster, aka Evan Strangward</b></div>
</b></span><br />
The bloodthirsty pirate has haunted the coast of the Seven Realms for years. Citizens of the realms are encouraged to help us capture this scourge of the seas by posting this placard in all public places.<br />
<br />
Those who help to bring this criminal to justice will be eligible to win a signed hardcover of the book #Stormcaster, purported to be a collection of stories and legends about the pirate and his associates, as well as two previous volumes detailing the history of our wars with the Ardenine empire. Included will be other valuables from the royal treasury.<br />

<strong style="color: #606060; font-family: arial, "helvetica neue", helvetica, sans-serif;">When I had to cancel an event at Park Road Books last spring, I promised to reschedule. So here's the deets: I'll be there with Flamecaster, Shadowcaster, and a sneak preview of Stormcaster (out April 3!) If you can't make the event, but would like signed copies of my Realms books, call the store at least 48 hours ahead. </strong><br />
