Here’s a treat for fans of Young Adult fiction.
Banished, the first novel in a new fantasy series, is available to pre-order from Amazon’s Kindle store ahead of next month’s release.
The book is published by leading Sci/Fi and fantasy publishers Tor who we at ebook magazine are big fans of thanks to their progressive approach to ebook DRM.
And, even better, Banished is the debut novel of a good friend of ours, Liz de Jager.
Like all of Liz’s on and offline pals we’re delighted she’s secured the backing of a such a great publisher for the first of what we predict will be a long run of successful novels.
In case you think this is just the bias of friends talking, here’s an excerpt of the book courtesy of Tor.com. Enjoy!
If you’d prefer a physical copy Amazon are also taking pre-orders on the paper edition.
Cover blurb:
“Kit is proud to be a Blackhart, now she’s living with her unorthodox cousins and sharing their strange lives.
“Especially since their home-schooling includes spells, fighting enemy fae and using ancient weapons. But it’s not until she rescues a rather handsome fae prince, fighting for his life on the edge of Blackhart Manor, that her training really kicks in.
“With her family away on various missions, Kit must protect Prince Thorn, rely on new friends and use her own unfamiliar magic to stay ahead of Thorn’s enemies. As things go from bad to apocalyptic, fae battle fae in a war that threatens to spill into the human world.
“Then Kit pits herself against the Elder Gods themselves – it’s that or lose everyone she’s learnt to love.”
