I am excited to be part of the cover reveal for J.J Fischer’s new fantasy The Heart of the King. Jasmine is an auto buy author for me and I will be purchasing this one as soon as it releases!
Look at this stunning cover:
The Heart of the King is releasing on August 15, 2025! This is the first instalment in the four-book Painted Wind series, a comedic royal romantasy adventure with WhiteCrown Publishing, an imprint of WhiteFire publishing. The Heart of the King will be releasing in ebook, paperback, and audiobook formats. It will kick off a broader adventure arc but can also be enjoyed as a stand-alone book. Each instalment of the series will be released 6-7 months apart.
It contains three things I love in books: Comedy, royalty and romantasy!
Here is the synopsis:
The worst monsters live within us.
The warring island kingdoms of Calidore and Jardia are thrown into chaos when Calidore’s once prized, but now quite possibly half-mad, seer announces that young gravedigger Rigan North will one day capture the heart of the crown prince of Jardia—and lead Jardia to victory against Calidore. Together, Rigan and the prince will rid the Twin Kingdoms of the Shro Khan: deadly, mind-controlling monsters that terrorize the people on sand and at sea.
Desperate to maintain his stranglehold on power and prevent the prophecy from being fulfilled, the king of Calidore sends a troop of soldiers led by the legendary Aureus Corcoran to kidnap Rigan. Corcoran, who is rumored to be able to communicate with the Khan, wonders how this unremarkable, frustrating girl could ever ensnare the attentions of a would-be king even as he admires her clever attempts to escape him. But when her fiery ways and unexpected kindnesses begin to claim Corcoran’s heart, prompting him to second-guess his orders, he wonders how the prophecy could ever come true—until he learns that not only is he far more than he believed himself to be, but she may be too.
You can pre-order direct from WhiteCrown or Amazon Australia.
