It’s book release day! I’m both excited and nervous at the same time. Darken the Trux, the first book in my new fantasy series, is now live on Amazon! Darken the Trux is now available in ebook and is free in KindleUnlimited! If you pre-ordered the book, it should be in your Kindle. The paperback should be available soon to order.
If you’re new to Faithfully Stepping, you may not know this…but I write fantasy fiction books under my pen name, A. J. Manney. You can check out my books at A. J. Manney Books.
Book Blurb
Ameris is a servant. Darian is an Assassin. Somehow, they need to work together to survive the Trux.
Every fifty years, the reigning king invokes the King’s Challenge. All the best warriors in the land are gathered and sent into the Trux, the forbidden forest, to find the coveted Regisflos flower for the King.
Seventeen-year-old Ameris is thrilled when she gets hired to work at the castle; she’s been planning for this day her entire life. She has her mission—to work her way up the ranks and get close to the King. But nothing could have prepared her for finding out that she will have to accompany one of the warriors into the Trux, and not just any warrior. She finds herself assigned to the most feared warrior of them all—the Assassin. Darian comes from the revered Sicario Clan and became a Master at only twenty years old, the youngest ever to do so.
Darian’s not happy about Ameris coming with him and isn’t going to make it easy on her. But she’s no push-over. She’s not about to let him stand in the way of the mission she has already embarked on. This is just a small setback in the plan that’s already been set in motion. She just has to survive the Trux and make it back to the castle.
Their journey is not nearly as simple as she thinks it will be. Dangers and threats test them at every turn, and she soon discovers that her only hope of survival is to ally with Darian, but he’s doing everything in his power to keep that from happening. Will she be able to break down his barriers and get him to work with her? Only time will tell. She has forty days, and the clock starts now.
