Antonia'a September Newsletter
Sep 16, 2023 12:01 pm
Hello, my darlings!
September's newsletter is going out a bit later than it should be—I'm going to blame recovering from covid for my complete lack of being on top of anything. I went on an amazing (and long delayed!) trip to Italy at the end of August and came back with covid (seriously, the worst souvenir ever). As a result, I'm behind on absolutely everything. The trip was amazing though! I included a photo below—I took about six hundred while we were there, so narrowing it down to one was tough.
Some quick writing updates: Next up for me is the second book in the Dragons of Ivria series. Tentatively titled To Trust a Dragon Spy, this book will find a new couple getting their HEA but will follow on from the wider plot of To Love the Dragon King. I'm also playing around with some notes for the first book in a witch romance series I've wanted to write for a while—it's mostly second chance romance and autumnal vibes at the moment, but it will come together. I'm making no promises about release dates yet, especially since I am behind on absolutely everything.
The gorgeous Cinque Terre
Thank you so much to everyone has bought/read/reviewed/recommended To Love the Dragon King! If you haven't gotten your copy yet, it's now available everywhere in ebook and paperback.
Once upon a time, before the hunts, dragons were plentiful in the world. Now they exist only in legend…except in the land of Ivria.
Without the Dragon Talent, Sascha has long been told his only value is his ability to make the best match possible, whether as concubine or husband. He has always done what his family expects of him, cultivating grace and beauty, and when his parents make a match for him, Sascha goes without protest. He never anticipates being contractually bound to a cruel man embroiled in a plot to overthrow the king of Ivria. Or being confronted by the king himself, a man with whom Sascha is disturbed to find himself fascinated.
With help from the few people he can trust absolutely, King Lysander is working carefully to uncover the members of a conspiracy to overthrow him and expose the existence of dragons to the world. Apprehending one traitor only complicates the situation further, not the least of which because of the man’s beautiful, intriguing concubine. Who may be involved in the plot and whom Lysander is immediately attracted to.
As danger looms, Sascha and Lysander grow closer, but can Lysander trust Sascha with his life and heart? And can Sascha be strong enough to love the dragon king?
