Not all legends are make-believe…
Three years ago, Jessie “the Berserker” Noble was at the top of the MMA fight game, a world-title contender with a brilliant future ahead of her. Then the visions started and her world came crashing down. Hard. Now Jessie’s a shadow of her former self, taking no-holds barred fights in the underground circuit to earn just enough to buy the drugs she needs to keep the horrible things she sees at bay.

When a man named Dante Grimm tells her she’s the modern incarnation of a champion of old and that she and her soon-to-be companions are desperately needed to hold back the darkness to come, Jessie thinks he’s as insane as she is.
But Grimm’s far from crazy. There is a battle coming the likes of which the world hasn't seen in centuries, a battle against a foe straight out of their worst nightmares.

And for them to succeed, Jessie going to have to dive deep into the heart of the very thing she's been running from all this time - her visions.

I woke up this morning, bleary eyed and not yet fully caffeinated, to the news that The Heartstone Thief has been nominated for a DragonCon Award.

This is some pretty epic news. Especially for a little-known British author, and it's a testament to my fans that Heartstone is among some amazing books competing for the awards this year.

Looking at the fantasy category, there are some mega-bestselling urban fantasy books in there and as Heartstone launched just a few months ago, it's still finding its feet. To be nominated is a-mazing. But what if this trope-bending grimdark fantasy could do more?

That's where you come in. Can you help?

The Dragon Awards are different to other prestigious awards out there, and here's why:

The awards are “by the fans, for the fans, and are your chance to reward those who have made real contributions to SF, books, games, comics, and shows.”

There is no qualification for voting – no convention fees or other memberships are needed. The only requirement is that you register, confirm your email address for voting purposes, and agree to the rules. This ensures that all votes count equally.

You can register to vote by clicking here and in a few days, your voting survey will arrive via email.

I'd love for you to consider voting for The Heartstone Thief. With that incentive, I may even get on with writing the sequel ;)

Thank you.

The Messenger rocked your world, and now she's back. But have her lies finally caught up with her?

Trust doesn't come easy for Kesh Lasota. She survived life as a slave, survived the Dreamweaver's touch, but surviving Marshal Kellee and the mysterious Talen is a whole other game, one she's not sure she's ready for.

When the three are captured by a bloodthirsty fae general sweeping through the last of Halow's human colonies, the only weapons they have left are lies. And so Kesh must pretend to be the gladiator they all expect, while Kellee is forced to fight against her, and Talen is... Well, just who is Talen when he can command soldiers with a glance and move among the fae elite as though he belongs?

Trust doesn't come easy for Kesh Lasota, neither does love. She must survive both, or everything she's fought for will be lost forever, including her men.

Grab the ebook from Amazon or the paperback from Amazon and B&N today.

Putting on my Ariana Nash hat for a few moments, I'm thrilled to let you know you can buy and read Silk & Steel today, direct from me if you're a Kobo, Google Play, Apple Books, Nook reader.

This is a LIMITED TIME offer. More on that below...

Preorders are also live on Amazon and the series will be in Kindle Unlimited when it launches on Amazon, Jan 18th.

So why early direct sales? Without boring you with all the details, ebooks that are available in KU cannot be sold anywhere else. Readers from Google, Apple, etc, often have to wait for new releases, sometimes 3 months, sometimes more, because of Amazon's exclusivity clause. Well, I wanted a way for my wide readers to be able to enjoy Silk & Steel but because it's a new series, and it needs to sell well if future books are scheduled, it really must go into Kindle Unlimited for maximum exposure.

Having direct sales available from my website, gives wide readers a chance to grab it BEFORE it's locked into Amazon. But I can only offer this for two weeks (until Jan 18th). So if you're a Kobo, Nook reader etc, you'll need to buy it from my website before Jan 18th. After that, it won't be available outside Amazon.

Please spread the word as much as you can. I really do want wide readers to be able to get their grabby hands on Lysander and Eroan and once it's locked into Amazon, it'll be there for the foreseeable future.

Please like this blog post, please mention it in reader groups and let's get Silk & Steel into as many "wide" reader hands as possible before it's gone.

Buy direct from www.ariananashbooks.com

Thank you! And happy reading. <3
