THE PALACE OF LOST MEMORIES: EXCERPT

    Being in a roomful of big, burly men looking as vulnerable as kittens was an unsettling experience. I studied each of their faces, and finally addressed Captain Hammer’s broad back. “You’ve all lost your memories?”

     Several of the men nodded. “Our memories begin three months ago,” Quentin told me.

      "When the palace was finished,“ I murmured.

      "Not just us, but all of the palace’s inhabitants,” Sergeant Max said. “Not a single one remembers their life before that day. We know our names and those of everyone else who works here. We know what our work entails and how to go about it. But that’s all. It’s as if…” He broke off and scrubbed a hand over his jaw.

     Hammer turned around and those blue eyes captured me. “It’s as if we didn’t exist before that day.”

***NEW SERIES***

If you’ve been following along in my newsletter, you’ll know I’ve been writing a new series, with the 1st book to be released in October. I can finally reveal the cover and description, and you can pre-order it at a discount! The first book in the After The Rift series is titled THE PALACE OF LOST MEMORIES. It’s a fantasy with all the things readers tell me they love about my books - mystery and magic, humour and drama, a feisty heroine, sexy hero, and a slow-burn romance. I’m in love with the cover, another fabulous piece of art by Karri Klawiter. I’ll put the pre-order links at the end of this post. The price will be $3.99USD (or your currency equivalent) during the pre-order phase and go up to $4.99 on release day, October 9. Without further ado, here’s the description for book 1:

The king’s magnificent palace was built in a matter of weeks. No one saw the builders, no villagers are allowed beyond the gilded gate, and only one servant has ever left. The haunted look in her eyes as she was recaptured by the palace guards is something Josie, daughter of the village doctor, has never forgotten.

For Josie, the palace is a mystery that grows more intriguing after she meets the captain of the guards, a man known only as Hammer, as mysterious and captivating as the palace itself. Whispers of magic fuel Josie’s desire to uncover the truth, but an ordinary girl like her can only dream of ever being invited inside.

When the king decides to take a wife from among the eligible daughters of the noble families, the palace gates are finally thrown open and the kingdom’s elite pour in. In a court where old rivalries and new jealousies collide, the king’s favorite is poisoned and the doctor is summoned. As her father’s assistant, Josie finally sees inside the lavish walls, but she soon learns the palace won’t surrender its secrets easily, for not a single resident, from the lowest servant to the king himself, has a memory from before the palace existed.

In the search for the truth, Josie is drawn deeper into danger, and the answers she seeks might shake the very foundations of the kingdom.
