Arryk and Gywnneth?
Arryk and Larisa, though it’s true the story is awash in beautiful blondes! 👸🏼
I’m not sure I ever really considered how young they were until Gywnneth talked about her age in the part with King Lennart. And around about that same place I think Kendryk mentioned he was 22? I was taken by surprise.
Yeah, Kendryk is only 24 by the end of the book and Gwynneth a year or so older. I think their real-life counterparts were around the same age when it all went down. Don’t leave the kids unsupervised- they might start a war! 😳
That blows my mind. Especially when you think it’s usually the older folks set in their ways that cause all this kind of trouble. I guess that may be a misconception!!!
Well, it’s generally unusual for very young people to have the kind of power required to cause trouble on a larger scale. Even in hereditary systems there was usually a regent who wielded the real power, often well after the young ruler came of age. Frederick/Kendryk was unusual in that he overthrew his own regent when he was 15. That should have been a sign that he was going to be a troublemaker! 😀
The cover looks great!
Thank you!
Beautiful cover. I notice you got flames in there, as on your website.
Thanks! My cover artist noticed that I like setting things on fire. Probably inherited from my pyromaniac mother. 👵🏻🔥
Love it!
Congrats! This must be extra exciting for you. You’ve lucked out with some talented book cover designers. Can’t wait to read the book!
Thank you! This is the same designer I used on my first book, and I plan to use her forever- at least until she retires, or I can afford original art. 🙂
