April releases

Wednesday, April 1, 2015

April 2015 isn't the most prolific month in term of Fantasy releases (as far as my picks are concerned) but Alex Marshall eagerly awaited debut will be available.  Aside from my spotlight, you might also be interested in a new Feist novel and might be willing to give The Unremembered another shot in it's definitive author edition (isn't that a bit of a stretch?).

The King of Ashes, book one of the War of the Crown series by Raymond E. Feist (April 7th)
The Unremembered - Author's definitive edition - Vault of Heaven book one by Peter Orullian (April 7th)

What will you read this month?

Greatcoats book 2
Sebastien de Castell
April 28th
Falcio val Mond is the first Cantor of the Greatcoats. Trained in the fighting arts and the laws of Tristia, the Greatcoats are travelling Magisters upholding King’s Law. They are heroes.

The horrifying murder of a duke and his family sends Falcio in a deadly pursuit to capture the killer. But Falcio soon discovers his own life is in mortal danger from a poison administered as a final act of revenge by one of his deadliest enemies. As chaos and civil war begin to overtake the country, Falcio has precious little time left to stop those determined to destroy his homeland. 
Greatcoat's Lament is a dark swashbuckling tale of idealism and betrayal in a country crushed under the weight of its rulers' corruption. It is the second book in the Greatcoat's series that began with Traitor's Blade.
