The Price of Valor — Shadow Campaigns Book #3!
by
I have finally gotten the go-ahead to share a few details of The Shadow Campaigns book #3, including its title — The Price of Valor. Soon we may even have a cover to show off! In the meantime, here’s the flap copy. More soon! (Publishing July 2015!)
In the latest Shadow Campaigns novel, Django Wexler continues his “epic fantasy of military might and magical conflict” following The Shadow Throne and The Thousand Names, as the realm of Vordan faces imminent threats from without and within.
In the wake of the King’s death, war has come to Vordan.
The Deputies-General has precarious control of the city, but it is led by a zealot who sees traitors in every shadow. Executions have become a grim public spectacle. The new queen, Raesinia Orboan, finds herself nearly powerless as the government tightens its grip and assassins threaten her life. But she did not help free the country from one sort of tyranny to see it fall into another. Placing her trust with the steadfast soldier Marcus D’Ivoire, she sets out to turn the tide of history.
As the hidden hand of the Sworn Church brings all the powers of the continent to war against Vordan, the enigmatic and brilliant general Janus bet Vhalnich offers a path to victory. Winter Ihernglass, newly promoted to command a regiment, has reunited with her lover and her friends, only to face the prospect of leading them into bloody battle.
And the enemy is not just armed with muskets and cannon. Dark priests of an ancient order, wielding forbidden magic, have infiltrated Vordan to stop Janus by whatever means necessary…
i thoroughly enjoyed the first two and the excerpt sounds like the third will be just as good. I am eagerly awaiting its publication!
Looks fantastic…can’t wait to read the book (come on July!)!
Such a tease! But it seems to be doing the trick. Can’t wait for the cover. Can’t wait for the book. “Oh wait!” – as I always say, “I guess I’ll have to.”
Ooh, finally a publication date, a title, and a few plot tidbits for a huge fan. I find this series so engrossing. A great story with, bold and intriguing writing. Love it, love it, love it.
It sounds like many of the main characters are go thru a lot more personal growth, taking roles far beyond any they had ever envisioned for themselves.

Yes, definitely. The series will be five books in total!
