It’s official: the release date for The Darkest Champion is Dec. 21!

And you get a chance to score the book for free at the Goodreads giveaway.

The saga that began with the Eye of Everfell continues with the kingdom of Leodia in chaos after their beloved king’s murder. Fallen knight Marcellus Admorran is missing, having been transformed into the dark and powerful Reaver. As the land is smothered by winter, Nyori Sharlin tries to protect Eymunder, the powerful artifact that might be the key in the struggle against the immortal king that pursues her. Her companions are the Huntsmen, warriors that dare to battle the akhkharu, but at least one among them may be a traitor.

In the Forbidden City, Alaric Aelfvaldar gathers his people together to prepare for war against the forces of men. Yet infighting and deceit threaten to topple his fragile alliance before the battle has even begun.

And in the east, the vindictive warlord Valdemar Basilis musters the greatest army Leodia has ever faced. In the end, only the force with the darkest champion may survive.

Enter the giveaway now or before the Dec. 31 deadline. And don’t forget to pick up the Eye of Everfell, free for Kindle Dec. 4-6!
