Today is the cover reveal for my December release, A Noble Protector! It’s a Wild Swans retelling, and following the series’ rule that you can’t have the usual MCs be your MCs, this is going to be a fun endeavor.

Outcast princess Gwyn Yesen has resigned to in anonymity for the rest of her life. When her only friend, the princess of the land unintentionally granting Gwyn safety, needs help, Gwyn knows she must help—even if it risks revealing who and what she really is.
What would you do to save your family? That’s the question dying prince Varrick Landreth find himself answering. Willing to do anything to save his brothers and sister, he finds himself joining forces with a suspicious woman keeping too many secrets.
As death nears and time runs out, Gwyn and Varrick must work together to save the royal family before usurpers and schemers enact their final, deadliest plan. But secrets have a way of being revealed at the worst time, and soon Varrick finds himself not only fighting for his family and kingdom, but being forced to choose Gwyn’s fate.

That is a beautiful cover!! Oooooooh, that dress! I love the blues.
And I’ve never read a Wild Swans retelling! (I don’t think I’ve heard of the fairytale until now… XD)

Yes, me too! Light blue is one of the prettiest blue shades, in my opinion.
I discovered the story in an old book that belonged to my mom. There are so many underappreciated fairy tales.

I love this cover!!! *heart eyes* Your story sounds so intriguing (I love the idea of a fairytale retelling that doesn’t follow the “main characters” but gets to explore the story from a whole new perspective)!! I cannot wait to read it! I LOVE the wild swans fairytale (I actually have an outline for a retelling of this fairytale that would be so fun to one day write 👀)! I can’t wait to see what you do with this fairytale!!! 😍

I think you’d write a wonderful retelling! “The Wild Swans” is such a marvellous tale of loyalty and perseverance.

this is exciting! I’m reading through Iron rn. It’s so good! My first time reading through a book by you and I want to know more about the characters and story! You certainly keep me interested. I stayed up way too late last night and barely got through half the book. Lol I can’t wait to read your other books. So excited to find another author I really enjoy! Also, Carter is my favorite! He’s almost exactly like the character in the current book I’m writing which is cool and weird.

I’m happy you’re enjoying “IRON”!
Ah, yes, dear Carter. My sweet, obtuse boy who doesn’t know up from down at times. XD Ooh, yes, I’ve seen instances like that. It’s fun to compare characters after both books are published and see how the authors portrayed them–what the similarities and differences are.

Yes! I finished the book last week. I absolutely loved the ending! I wasn’t sure I shipped the relationship at first but it was so awesome! ❤ ❤ ❤ The type of character Carter is, is my absolute favorite. I think that’s why my MC Alec is the way he is. Lol
