The Maiden of the Barren Rime Kickstarter is Live!
A character-driven, slow burn, adult fantasy-romance novel featuring a female lead with just as much bite as her bark.
The Fallow Peaks, a frozen wasteland of cruel mountains and blood thirsty beasts, where the veil between the Realm of Mortals and the fae realm thins, where very few adventurers have dared to tread, where very few guides are qualified to lead.
Guides such as Mina, unfortunately.
Isolated by choice, Mina finds her solitude interrupted by a sudden request from the Crown of Lanholde to lead their latest band of contractors up the Peaks to finish their quest and deliver their bounty to the capital. The overly friendly five-some she’s contacted to escort seem hell-bent to step over her every boundary, no matter now stern and scornful she acts, worst among them their leader, Sebastian Windenhofer.
Will the fire wizard warm Mina’s cold heart? Or will the reasons behind her icy demeanor turn them all to ice before he gets the chance?
________________
A character-driven adult fantasy-romance narrative featuring a female protagonist with flaws that serve more to the story than just being a character trait. The Maiden of the Barren Rime is a book about love and family and acceptance and people, all while throwing you into an amazing, fascinating, fantasy world.
AND, as this is a slow-burn romance, there are well-earned, intimate scenes for those who like a little spice with their catharsis. 😉
With plans to expand the series into a trilogy, your backing will help The Maiden of the Barren Rime reach it's intended audience, and a fresh style of narrative into the fantasy-romance drama.
Check it out on Kickstarter

(Katara doesn't appreciate sharing her kitchen with surprise culinary savant, Zuko. He takes over making dinner one night, and Katara insists on making a salad at least)
Katara: (tasting the sauce Zuko's working on) It needs salt.
Zuko: It does not! It's perfect!
Zuko turns away and Katara sneaks a dash of salt into the sauce.
Zuko: (returning to taste the sauce) You added salt!
Katara: I did not!
Zuko: You did! You ruined it.
Katara: I fixed it!
Zuko: Oh, yeah? Well, fix this! (Dumps entire bottle of dressing on Katara's salad.)
Katara: (with forced calm) No problem. It just needs a different presentation. (Dumps salad on Zuko's head.)
Zuko: (with even more forced calm) I see what you mean. Maybe you can give me a few pointers on my side dish. (scoops up a handful of mashed potatoes and smears them in Katara's face)

TIL that when Theodosius III learned the troops wanted to make him emperor, he left Constantinople and hid in the woods. They dragged him out and crowned him anyway. He abdicated at the first chance he got and became a monk.
