New Release: Reign of Shadows by Sophie Jordan

(Amazon US/UK Covers)

Reign of Shadows by Sophie Jordan is new this week. I have received a review copy but haven't read it yet. It has some definite inspiration from Rapunzel and other Maiden in the Tower tales and is the start of a series.

The Reign of Shadows (UK Edition) will be released on March 1, 2016.

Book description:

Destiny and darkness collide in this romantic, sweeping new fantasy series from New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan.

Seventeen years ago, an eclipse cloaked the kingdom of Relhok in perpetual darkness. In the chaos, an evil chancellor murdered the king and queen and seized their throne. Luna, Relhok's lost princess, has been hiding in a tower ever since. Luna's survival depends on the world believing she is dead.

But that doesn't stop Luna from wanting more. When she meets Fowler, a mysterious archer braving the woods outside her tower, Luna is drawn to him despite the risk. When the tower is attacked, Luna and Fowler escape together. But this world of darkness is more treacherous than Luna ever realized.

With every threat stacked against them, Luna and Fowler find solace in each other. But with secrets still unspoken between them, falling in love might be their most dangerous journey yet.
