War is brewing and the kingdom of Sindaleer is torn as the Knights of Norcir draw the folk to their side. When Sabriel, a specially Gifted, pledges her blood to their cause, she is ready to give all to bring the peace her leader promises. She understands Tirich's deep hatred toward the king, and has prepared for this moment all her life.But when her identity as a knight is discovered by the childhood friend who betrayed her years ago, Sabriel's plans for justice come toppling down. Now distracted by what once was, Sabriel fights to hold onto what she's believed to be true for so long.

Nick never forgot the red-headed lass of years past, but she's not the friend he remembers. As enemies connected by their past take opposing sides on their country's freedom, Nick refuses to believe what she's become.

Voices warning Sabriel she'll never succeed, and loyalties torn, she begins to realize that all is not as it seems. Tirich's power is growing stronger, and she fears she was wrong about the good she once saw in him.

The concluding book following The Broken Prince, reminds us of the inner war we all face, and what it means to rise from the ashes when all hope feels lost.

Sabriel’s Tips for Navigating Sindaleer

Greetings, strangers traveling to my home country of Sindaleer. My country is at war, and journeying to this land is not an easy task as a foreigner. Here are some things to remember while you are here...

King Milosh now sits on the throne in the capital of Bron, and proclaims that he is not like his father, that he’s changed and wants to bring about peace. I don’t trust him.

I’m a Knight of Norcir: an enemy to King Milosh. We as the Knights have pledged our blood to the cause of tearing Milosh from his throne and bringing back the old ways. While you stay in Sindaleer, it’s best to not talk about your views here. Keep quiet, because the person you’re talking to may not always be who they say they are.

The capital is full of riots and killings, and right now I’d do my best to avoid the city altogether if possible. You wouldn’t want to get caught in a mob.

I spent my childhood climbing the high cliffs behind my village, standing on the edge and dreaming I could fly as the ball of fire set on the horizon, casting golden light on the white rocks. Our mountains are beautiful and give you peace, but if you prefer the ocean, to the south you must go.

Acwellen is a large seaport city, full of taverns and good food (or so I’ve heard). You can find things to trade there from tropical islands that you could never obtain elsewhere. Just be careful not to go out at night....lots of unsavory characters about. Basically just remember about my country: Don’t go out at night. Don’t trust anyone (I don’t).

Despite this, Sindaleer is a good, strong country. We love to prove ourselves. We are fighters, warriors. While we fail to teach our lads and lasses to read and do not hold with typical book learning or finery, we are proud of our heritage and songs and the tales of old that remind us of where we came from.

So enjoy your stay here....just make sure you get out before the battle starts.

Oh, and watch out for dragons. I know folk say they don’t exist anymore but....you never know.

The Broken Prince
(The Broken Prince #1)
By Kara Linaburg
YA Fantasy
Paperback & ebook, 217 Pages

In all the fairy tales the maiden falls in love with the prince...but she has to remember that this isn’t a fairy tale...

Born into a kingdom where those of magical Gifts are rejected, feared, and even killed, Serena has spent her life striving to hide her ability and keep her younger brother safe.

The bastard son of the hated king and father he hardly knows, Prince Milosh is considered an outcast. He never expects to feel anything but contempt for the peasant girl who unexpectedly shows up in his life, forcing him to answer questions he never wished to ask.

When two very different worlds are thrown together under less than desirable circumstances, both hold deep judgement towards the other. But will they learn to see beyond their stations and birth so that they may defeat the coming darkness, or will labels given to them at birth continue to define them?

A heart-stopping tale about the power of human love, and how each of us are never truly alone.
