ASTRID NORDSKOV: VIKING. VAMPIRESS. WOLF-PRINCESS. WARRIOR.

Disobeying my father, our Chief, was not something I wanted to do, but what choice did I have? An innocent man is condemned to die and I have the power to stop it. I think. I hope.

With my powers rising, with my world expanding, and my heart teaching my head that love is also a weapon, I am preparing to prove myself worthy, and save our clan from a terrible darkness that might destroy us once and for all.

But first, I have to discover the true extent of my powers, and my time at Bathory Academy, School of Vampires, is providing me with the perfect education, even if I don't exactly like what I'm learning.

*
In this second companion novella series to Bathory Academy, Astrid Nordskov finds herself caught between the worlds of Bathory Academy and all its magical revelations, and the duty of home, back in the wilds of Denmark.

BLURB:

There’s no light without the dark.

Fox Meadowsweet is a Witch. Jeremiah Chase is a Witch Hunter.
The Meadowsweet bloodline has lived in the sleepy English village of Heargton for thousands of years. Jeremiah Chase is a New York boy in exile.

Neither of them asked for their past but now it’s the only thing that can save their future as dark and ancient paranormal forces threaten to obliterate the world.

When a local college girl is discovered ritually murdered and covered in strange symbols, old suspicions rise, ancient fears manifest, and centuries-spanning blood feuds reignite between ancient households of the village.

With their ancestral reputation of magic and witchcraft, eyes turn towards the three beautiful Meadowsweets sisters… including the eyes of Jeremiah Chase, who finds himself inexplicably drawn to the quirky wild-beauty of the middle sister, Fox.

But as Jeremiah learns the history of her bloodline, he also unearths the dark and tangled story of his own family, giving him knowledge of a terrible and diabolical legacy.

This box set contains books 1 & 2 of The Meadowsweet Chronicles.

The perfect parent & daughter Read. New Release from Helen Whapshott.

I am super happy to announce that my fellow Little Bird author, Helen Whapshott is releasing the third book in her series of 'The Glow' this Wednesday. It's called 'Blaze' and is the final instalment in the trilogy.

I have had the amazing privilege of working with Helen on launching this series and have come to hold true affection for the world and characters that she has created.

Not only that, but my 10 year old, avid YA reading daughter also loves the series, not least because she has met Helen in 'real life' and has been completely charmed by her.

The series a perfect Parent / Daughter read and throws up issues surrounding bullying, abuse, growing up, first love, and family difficulties in a really safe way. More challenging topics are touched upon with a lightness of touch that really respects the sensitivities of younger readers who may pick up the series.

There's enough young teen action to keep curious readers occupied, but the series also harks back to a slightly more innocent and magical time.

With strong messages about friendship, adversity, personal acceptance, The Glow series is an absolutely perfect Christmas present for daughters and nieces.

Book three is available in Kindle this Wednesday and is currently on pre-order, and it is out in paperback middle of next week, just in time for last minute Christmas order from Amazon. It will be going out to iBooks, Nook and other eBook platforms in the New Year.

You can get hold of Book One of the series in paperback and eBook here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Glow-Book-One-Helen-Whapshott-ebook/dp/B00IX2EI9Q

and you can pre-order the Kindle edition of book 3 'Blaze' here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Blaze-Book-Glow-Helen-Whapshott-ebook/dp/B077WJXFRV
