About The Jack of Souls: A Rogue & Knight Epic Fantasy Series (Unseen Moon)
A NEW ROGUE & KNIGHT FANTASY SERIES * * *An outcast rogue must break a curse on his fate, or die on his next birthday. A tale of magic, mischief, and the triumph of tricksters. * * *Harric is an outcast rogue who must break a curse put on his fate, or die on his nineteenth birthday. As the day approaches, nightmares from the spirit world stalk him and tear at his sanity; sorcery eats at his soul. To survive, he’ll need more than his usual tricks. He’ll need help—and a lot of it—but on the kingdom’s lawless frontier, his only allies are other outcasts. One of these outcasts is Caris, a mysterious, horse-whispering runaway, intent upon becoming the Queen’s first female knight. The other is Sir Willard—ex-immortal, ex-champion, now addicted to pain-killing herbs and banished from the court. With their help, Harric might keep his curse at bay. But for how long? And both companions bring perils and secrets of their own: Caris bears the scars of a troubled past that still hunts her; Willard is at war with the Old Ones, an order of insane immortal knights who once enslaved the kingdom. The Old Ones have returned to murder Willard and seize the throne from his queen. Willard is both on the run from them, and on one final, desperate quest to save her. Together, Harric and his companions must overcome fanatical armies, murderous sorcerers, and powerful supernatural foes. Alone, Harric must face the temptation of a forbidden magic that could break his curse, but cost him the only woman he’s ever loved.MULTIPLE AWARD WINNING EPIC FANTASY NOVELIn 2014, The Jack of Souls won the prestigious Pacific Northwest Writers Association award for fantasy.In 2014, The Jack of Souls also won the Southwest Writers annual award for fantasy.TESTIMONIALS"Of all the books I've read in the past couple of years, The Jack of Souls is by far my favorite.
