JOA Book Of The Day - The Kinshield Legacy

THE KINSHIELD LEGACY
by K.C. May




-------------------------------------------------


A mysterious stone tablet with five magical gems has sat abandoned in a cave for two hundred years. The kingdom is in ruins, with only warrant knights to keep the peace. But then, the gems in the tablet, one by one, disappear.

Warrant knight Gavin Kinshield is a man of many secrets. He's the one deciphering the runes in the tablet. Unless he can find a suitable replacement, he'll be Thendylath's next king. All he really wants is the letter written by his ancestor Ronor Kinshield, champion to King Arek, confessing the truth of how the king perished... a letter he must earn by tracking down a common thief.

But when Gavin saves a woman's life, what should have been a simple task draws him face-to-face with his nightmarish past... and the truth of King Arek's demise.

Purchase The Kinshield Legacy in ebook format at Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble.

REVIEW SNIPPETS

From the very first page, The Kinshield Legacy grabs you by the throat and propels you into a world of magic, sorcery, jeweled-eyed gargoyles and a sisterhood of female warriors. A world where beyonders savage unsuspecting travelers; where a dark, yet charismatic, wizard covets the king's throne for his own and will let no one get in his way--including the rightful ruler. He who claims the King's Bloodstone shall reign as king. Enter Gavin Kinshield, warrant knight and rune solver, a man haunted by his past, and a hero like no other. A rousing debut from K. C. May, an author worth watching.

~ Carol Davis Luce, Author of Night Passage

"The Kinshield Legacy is a rousing good fantasy tale, with nice characterization and some ferocious action. These days I read primarily for business rather than pleasure, but I found myself eager to return to this novel."

~ Piers Anthony, Author of the Xanth novels

NOTE FROM THE JOURNAL

As an admirer of the author's latest book, "The Venom of Vipers", I know that this will be a fantastic read. Her writing is impeccable, and just looking at the reviews, you can't get much better than that.

I loved the banter between Gavin and Daia. It looks like there's a sequel on the way and I predict something happening between these two characters.
