Come one, come all, to the return to Velyasa!

Whether you’re new to the world of Sunfall, Tyrladan, and vampires or a traveler returning home, I would like to invite you to the release party for Queen of Light, the third (though certainly not final) installment of the Tales of the Shadow Folk series!

Fans of enemies to lovers, slow burn romances, strong sibling bonds, and plot-driven fantasy (though with plenty of spice later in the series), you’ll find something to love in the Tales of the Shadow Folk! Adelaide is the stabby FMC we all wish we could be; at 26, she’s living through a quarter life crisis of epic proportions. Gods, dragons, vampires, and more all await her in her continued journey to save her kingdom, even if that means challenging everything she thought she once knew.

Evil is rising; she must wrestle her power and barter with the gods to secure her new role as queen and protect her and the people she loves, even if they don’t always love her back.

The party will be free to attend; if you want to secure your copy, as supply will be limited, you can pre-order directly with Hundred Acre Books!

You can ask about pre-ordering just book 3 or, if you haven’t read the series yet, you can order all 3.

All pre-orders, regardless of bundle, will come with a tote and some fun merch goodies as a thank you for being among the first to claim your copy! Note: the book comes out on May 5, so if you want it the day of release, you can get it then OR you can wait and come get it personalized at the party on the 8th!

The party will have a fun giveaway contest as well. No cost to enter: simply show up and make a potion. If you’re one of the lucky ones to be blessed by the goddess Siralto, you can leave with a free merch bundle and a 2-credit giftcard to Libro.FM (must provide email at conclusion of event to claim). The giftcard’s value will be given to Hundred Acre Books, so participating will directly benefit them, as well as any books you purchase/pre-order as a part of the event.

Come out and get your signed copies, make some potions, and ask the author any burning questions you may have about Velyasa!

See you all on May 8th!
