I am either really tired or I genuinely find this a fantastic insult.

A story about rebellion against a tyrannical king, a city on the edge and a young man with memories not his own that might just hold the key to saving them all

Your One Job is to SURVIVE

This isn't one of my popular books. Its a stand alone, emotional survival fantasy but its something that I needed to write.

The sun had begun its slow descent, dragging the light with it, when Anni gave up walking and hauled herself into Halder’s saddle. She slumped forward, arms draped over the gelding’s neck, groaning like she’d been mortally wounded.
“My feet are destroyed,” she said. “Utterly betrayed by my own legs.”
Mirva barely looked up from where she was nudging the mule along. “I told you so. And no, you’re not riding Squibbles .”
“But Squibbles loves me.”
“Squibbles tolerates you.”
“Fine, I concede,” Anni muttered. “You were right.”
Mirva gave her a pleased smile, the kind that came with ribbons and old victories. “I usually am.”
I glanced over. “Wait—he’s called Squibbles?”
Anni grinned, eyes half-lidded from the saddle. “It’s to remind my mother of my father during her travels.”
That got a laugh out of me, full and sudden. “That’s cruel.”
“And accurate,” Mirva said, entirely unfazed.

Today I introduced a new character, Squibbles, The Mule.
Enjoy the abstract below. It'll give you a hint to which book I am currently writing.
