Super excited to share with you two brand new novels – and series – releasing from two of my all time favourite writers and Enclave Publishing. Ronie Kendig’s epically brilliant and amazing space opera (think Star Wars, Firefly, Dune) which I’ve had the privilege to read, Brand of Light, and the long awaited new novel from the fabulous Sharon Hinck, Hidden Current, which combines her love of dancing, fantasy, and creatives, which I can’t wait to read!
Ronie has made her mark with military suspense, but she is equally at home penning fantasy/space opera novels. If you have read her Abiassa’s Fire series you will know what I mean. Her talent is amazing and not to be missed in either genre.
Sharon has written one of my absolute favourite fantasy series – The Sword of Lyric series. I highly recommend this series to anyone, particularly readers who might not yet realise they can be big fans of fantasy novels. It’s been years now since Sharon has released a novel, so to say I’m thrilled there is one on the way is an understatement.
Both these stories are to be released as LIMITED EDITION hardcovers – once they have sold out, they’re gone – so don’t delay your pre-order. Ronie’s is currently at a reduced price so you grab it while you can.
I love both these covers, don’t you? The cover designer has perfectly captured Kersei and Marco on Ronie’s cover and Sharon’s is so eye-catching too. Sigh. All the book feels with this post! What do you think?
Brand of Light by Ronie Kendig
The Droseran Saga #1
There’s a price on her head, and it has everything to do with the brand on her arm.
Tertian Space Coalition has blessed every planet in the quadrants with high technology, save one: Drosero. But in spite of their tenuous treaty with the ruling clans, TSC has plans for the backward planet. And they’re not alone.
After a catastrophic explosion, Kersei Dragoumis awakens in a derelict shuttle, alone, injured, and ignorant of the forbidden technology that has swept her into a nightmare. The brand she’s borne since childhood burns mysteriously, but the pain is nothing to that when she learns her family is dead and she is accused of their murders.
Across the quadrants, Marco Dusan responds to the call of a holy order-not to join them, but to seek a bounty. Gifted-or cursed-with abilities that mark him a Kynigos, a tracker sworn to bring interplanetary fugitives to justice, Marco discovers this particular bounty has nothing to do with justice and everything to do with prophecy. One that involves the hunter as much as the hunted.

Hidden Current by Sharon Hinck
The Dancing Realms #1
The dancers of the Order direct their floating world of Meriel with their movements, but are they steering it toward destruction?
Calara spent her life learning dance patterns and seeking to become the perfect servant to her people. When she discovers the work of the Order is built on lies, she flees with a rough-edged herder, Brantley of Windswell. Pursued by soldiers, her journey through the suffering villages of the rim leads her to a forgotten truth that sends ripples through her world-and through her soul.
Calara seeks clues to her forgotten family and discovers newfound courage in the face of danger, while her quest awakens a growing but forbidden affection for Brantley. Yet even his support can’t fully be trusted, since he’d rather destroy the Order than bring reform.
She is a lone woman facing opposition from rim villages and treachery from the all-powerful Order. Can she restore the dance to its true purpose and bring freedom and hope to her people?

ALL. THE. FEELS. RIGHT. HERE!! My book…with Sharon’s. #authorgoals THANK YOU for sharing these, Rel!!
Sharon’s Sword of Lyric series deeply impacted my life during a rough time. I remember reading the second book and clutching it to my chest, sobbing, because some allegorical element in my book helped me work through something. It was profound. And Sharon–such a beautiful soul. I was delighted to get an early copy, and I can’t wait to dive in!!
