I’ve been holding any Grace Draven reviews very near and dear to my heart. You see she represents what every indie author wants, success. She writes great books independent of any publishing houses influence and she does it well. Plus I had the opportunity to actually meet Grace and she is genuinely a nice person (I find most authors are) which only added to my love of her, plus her books are for lack of a better word, awesome. She writes fantasy with a romantic element but it’s never quite traditional. Anyone who read Radiance would know that putting a gray, ugly alien with a human doesn’t scream success and love normally but Grace, she made it fantastic. So it’s with great anticipation that I look forward to the second book in the Wraith Kings series, Eidolon. Grace has been releasing pieces of the cover on her Facebook but since she’s revealed the whole I feel comfortable putting it on my blog, with this snippet:

In a bid for more power, the Shadow Queen of Haradis has unleashed a malignant force into the world. Her son Brishen, younger prince of the Kai royal house, suddenly finds himself ruler of a kingdom blighted by a diseased darkness and on the brink of war. His human wife Ildiko must decide if she will give up the man she loves in order to secure his throne.

Three enemy kingdoms must unite to save each other, and a one-eyed, reluctant king must raise an army of the dead to defeat an army of the damned.

A tale of alliance and sacrifice.

It’s set to release sometime at the end of this year or early next year but until then pick up another Grace Draven book you won’t be disappointed.
