Any hope. . .So when the Oracle reveals the prophecy promising just that, the remaining members of the tribe pin their future on the birth of a young foal. Hope becomes despair when the baby unicorn is born without metal. . .because without metal there is no magic. And without magic, this little blue newborn has no chance to defeat the evil sorcerer that has imprisoned all of MarBryn. Magh’s rule proves both harsh and brutal and by the time Blue comes of age there are only twelve metal-horns left in all of MarBryn. Eleven can claim some form of metal based magic. . .but one must get by on sheer grit, will, and the desire to avenge his parents untimely deaths. Like most of the metal-horns, Blue disregards the prophecy as nonsense, but driven by his insecurities, he covertly trains for a fight he’s ill-equipped to win.And then hope comes back around. For Blue…For the Metal Horn Unicorns of MarBryn …But can a unicorn with no metal … no magic … answer the call of fate? The Blue Unicorn's Journey To Osm Illustrated book was a feast for the eyes but the story was short. This novel is the expanded version of that story.

But when her mother is killed by a weapon of magical destruction, fantasy merges into a strange new reality. Her birthmark morphs into the Tree of Life, her boss goes full troll (warts and all), vampires start hitting on her, and shadowhunters stalk her in the darkness. Had Sage been warned about her special lineage, before her mother's murder, she might have agreed to join the Anonymous Supernatural Security and Elimination Taskforce (A.S.S.E.T). When agent Grey Maddox shows up to recruit Sage - filling her head with stories of an ancient race of people chosen by the gods and uniquely gifted to withstand the forces of magic - she dismisses him as a fraud. The truth about Sage's lineage comes crashing down around her when a supernatural pick-up artist tries to kill her. Bearing the mark of the Tree of Life makes Sage special while also putting a target on her head. With the weapon still at large, and strange faerie-like creatures popping up all around her, figuring out who to trust is priority number one. Only then can Sage find the key to neutralizing the weapon before its power is unleashed again.Get it here -> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CY3GCXTWell that's all the news that I have for you for now!

Toni Cox, author of The Elemental Trilogy series has decided to rebrand and here is what they look like.Elemental Rising:Maia, Elf princess of Elveron, has studied for almost a century to become a Prime Elemental but, when she finally completes her final test, which she had to take on Earth, something unexpected happens, and she brings with her the very thing she tried to leave behind.Now she is faced with responsibilities she thinks she is not ready for, a love she does not reciprocate, and a threat to her people that might kill them all. Young, inexperienced, and unsure of her powers, she only has her desire to save her people that drives her into battle. But she is not alone. She has her mentor, Silas, and her dragon, Midnight, who stand by her side as she embarks on an adventure to save not just herself, but the rest of the nation of Grildor as well.AMAZONElemental Betrayal: The nation of Grildor still reels from the War of Greystone. They spent the winter Moons mourning their dead. Now it is spring and time to drive the last of the enemy off their planet.Maia has sunken into a pit of despair during the harsh Moons of Winter, not only mourning the people that died, but also the absence of Blaid. Would he ever come back to her?Lord Longshadow, Lord Regent of Grildor, decides it is time to act and sends Maia and Jaik as ambassadors to the various cities within Grildor. The aim is to reassure the people that the Longshadow Clan is there to protect them, but as Maia and Jaik travel, they learn that the situation is far worse than they had anticipated.They have been betrayed and their nation is threatened with war a second time. Desperately, she searches for the strength to save her people. And, although she has her dragon, Midnight to help her, the responsibility of being a Prime rests heavily on her shoulders.Will her magic be strong enough to save them this time?AMAZONForbidden Elemental:Two battles are behind them and now the true war with the Vampyres is about to start. Elveron will succumb unless the Prime Elementals can become as one. Maia deserts her people to find Blaid, for only as one will they have the power to defeat the Vampyres amassing at Greystone. It is Forbidden for them to be together and yet their connection is all that stands between victory and eternal defeat. With her dragon, Midnight, Maia sets off on a journey that will change the future for everyone.Lord Longshadow, the Lord Regent, invokes the Rule of Kings and travels to every country of Greater Grildor. He needs the Lords to pledge their armies. Jaik Longshadow rules in his father’s stead and faces the greatest test of his life, while Aaron Nightingale, believing he is the reason Maia left, races across Grildor to find her.The arrival of winter means the Vampyres will be less active. Amid snow and ice, it is time for Elveron to prepare. But the Vampyres have a different agenda and winter will no longer stop them. As desperation and fear takes hold, Maia understands that to save her people she needs a new plan.Will Blaid help her? Will she have enough time?AMAZONWHAT OTHER SAY ABOUT THE ELEMENTAL TRILOGY?“Cox has created characters; a world; a story that is Tolkien worthy. She has developed something unique and rich in imagination.” Sian B. Claven (Author of The Butcher books)“Maia is an incredible character to follow. Toni Cox has managed to bring something new, exciting, and seriously addictive to the fore.” Robyn Victoria Castles (TBB)“I fell in love with this world and its characters and became utterly invested in their trials and tribulations. Toni Cox has a wonderfully rich imagination and brings Elveron and the Elves, and Midnight the dragon, to glorious life. Utterly entrancing.” Elaina J.

Kallista; The Culling; Watcher & Killer Kitteh Khristmas. We set up a Pre-Order for Asylum which will be released in February next year and we also managed to attend events and make a huge success at Comic Con!A year I tell you, a year just flew past and I'm not emotionally ready for it to end.Okay maybe I am, but only because ending it means that I'll be spending some time with my family in the UK and visiting the sister I miss so much.

COMPETITION TIME The first of my competitions today is really easy. Simply follow me on Goodreads by clicking here -> Sian B. Claven Monthly ReviewThis month my featured book is Forbidden Elemental by Toni Cox! Here is what I thought about it:Before I was a writer, I was a reader. Before I loved to horrify fans, I lived in fantasy worlds. The standard by which I measure a fantasy authors writing is set so high that not even the like of George R. R. Martin manages to get up there, at least not yet. Not so long ago I was requested to read Elemental Rising and my words were, "Expected to be torn to pieces, expect me to hate it. There is no fantasy writer that I love that is greater than Tolkien in my opinion, and you'll be lucky to get three stars out of me." I read it. I fell in love. I fell in love with a new world that could only be contained in the magical pages of Cox's books. She introduced me to something new, something wonderful and she did something that no one has been able to do in a long time. She took me on an adventure. I watched Maia grow and learn and love and break and build herself all up again. I have been through war, through travels, through diplomatic meetings and through flights with dragons. I have felt the sting of Lava Bats on my skin, the fear of a Werewolf snapping at my face and the sight of a vampyre riding towards me as everything I fight for lay behind me. Facing impossible odds. Conquering insurmountable obstacles. Finding love in darkness. Cox has created a world that is no longer rivalled by Middle Earth, she has introduced me to a nation that I belong to and casts Middle Earth to the furtherest regions of my dusty memories never to be visited again. She gives me a home of my own, and on Elveron is where I would most like to spend my days. Amongst the Elder Trees that are so tall, you can build houses in them, on the back of a fiery stallion as I race up and down the gathering grounds or around a fire sipping on hot tea as we recall the stories of our ancestors. So, Tolkien, you were good but I have a new favourite and with good reason. Cox is an amazing and talented author concluding the Elemental Saga and leaving me longing for more adventure, more love and more magic. May the Mother smile upon youI gave the book a HUGE FIVE STARS and recommend it to everyone! Competition TimeAnother competition just to keep things HHHHOOTTTT!!!!

You won't be disappointed.The event was huge and I didn't know where to look when I walked around to see what was happening outside of artist alley.
