Hey bookworm friends. Today’s spotlight is one that I’m really excited about! We’re gonna be highlighting In The Name of Honor by Courtney & Clarke Collins. Yet another one that I had the pleasure of reading an excerpt and it starts with a dramatic scene that pulled me in with the tension it created. And then I quickly grew attached to the characters. What a solid start to a book!

Of all the messages Dimitar’s carried, he now delivers the worst of all: vile Corrupted creatures have returned and murdered the king’s best friend. The king leaves to seek retribution, and gives Dimitar an order he doesn’t expect: guard the princess, Kaleela. When Corruptors then kidnap her father, she insists on rescuing him. Dimitar must break his vow to keep her safe in the kingdom, and together infiltrate the enemy’s lair… unless the Corrupted capture Kaleela first. Fans of epic fantasy with romance will fall into this character-driven world and thrilling new adventure, where a rescue mission turns into a chase, and only the princess or the king can be saved.

About Shelby Elizabeth
Courtney grew up two doors down from the local library and crushed every summer reading challenge. She worked in libraries and bookstores before deviating into a higher education career by day and a burlesque dancer by night. She’s published extensively in her local town newspaper. Clarke read The Hobbit at 10 years old and has lived in the world of fantasy ever since. When he’s not escaping into video games and tabletop realms, he’s working hard to improve healthcare. He earned a black belt in Shaolin Kung Fu and has faced more than his fair share of war hammers to the head while weapons training. Clarke and Courtney first met in college, lived coast-to-coast, and currently reside in Vermont with their two children.
