Hello Readers!
You’ve been waiting.
And waiting.
Wait no more!
His is a life of books and peace...
Until a dying warrior's touch ignites an ancient magic within his blood.
For years, Thom Darkfell has used his cartography skills to advise Lomair's king of the country's shifting borders. A valued academic, Thom is excluded from the military drafts until whispers of dark abominations and mass casualties reach the king's ears. The resulting conscription thrusts Thom into Lomair's losing army. A realist, Thom ignores the wild myths circling through the ranks-until a monster's jaws snap through the folds of reality and crush a man before Thom's eyes. With his dying breath, the Realm Walker passes an impossible task to Thom.
Hours later, the visions begin. The Creator, a deity Thom knows only from rituals spoken over meals and graves, appears to him while a girl with starlight in her blood calls from beyond the veil.
Armed with a cryptic map, a biscuit-loving tutor, and the brawn of his best friend, Thom sets out to find the star daughter and lock the barrier to bind the dark realm of Zakar.
If he fails, it will be the end of all.
This is the first official release of Q&F’s FIREBRAND imprint.
It does not disappoint. Every paperback and hardback will come with stunning printed edges (as noted in the above picture). There is a secret hardcase under the dust jacket as well. ;) It is truly a gorgeous work of art, both in the literal art and the story within the pages.
For those who might have joined recently, FIREBRAND is Q&F’s Christian imprint. These books will still feature heart-pounding romance, but they have a strong faith thread.
DARKFELL is our FIREBRAND flagship release, and we are so thrilled to have this line of books forthcoming. The world is often a dark place, and sometimes a little illumination and hope is exactly what is needed.
DARKFELL releases January 28th. It’s available now on pre-order, wherever books are sold. Get your copy HERE.
Lastly, there are only THREE DARKFELL book boxes left in the Q&F Shop. This is the third and final restock. They make excellent gifts. ;) Please note that the books may ship separately. We are still waiting for our last restock of books to make its way to us. If you order this week, book boxes should make their way to you in time for Christmas. *Please note also that we cannot be responsible for shipping delays outside our control, but we’ll do our best to get you all your things in a timely manner. There are several other book boxes available in the Q&F Shop as well, should you be needing the perfect bookish gift. Q&F book boxes come prettily packaged and ready for gift giving (to self or others).
If you have a chance, drop by and congratulate Amanda on her debut book. If you’d like to help spread the word, please feel free to share any images/videos from this missive, or if you’re a Substack user, restack or make a note, like, share, comment. Any and all of it is helpful.
We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving for our American readers, and if you happen to be in a different country, we hope your week is blessed and full of bookish things.
Cheers!
-Madame Publisher
