Nightborn arrives in paperback today!

Today is the day.

Nightborn, the second book in the Thrones & Bones trilogy, is out in paperback!

Nightborn is identical to the hardcover in every way, except that:

a) it's cheaper! and

b) it has a preview of book three, Skyborn, in the back!

We authors love first week sales, and our publishers love them even more, so if you've read Frostborn but you haven't picked up the sequel yet, today's as good a day as any and better than most!



For fans of Lloyd Alexander and Brandon Mull comes Book 2 in the acclaimed Thrones and Bones fantasy-adventure trilogy that began with Frostborn.

Karn Korlundsson is a gamer. Not a riddle solver. But in order to rescue his best friend, Thianna Frostborn, he will need to travel to the faraway city of Castlebriar (by wyvern), learn how to play a new board game called Charioteers (not a problem), decipher the Riddle of the Horn, and tangle with mysterious elves.

Meet Desstra. She’s in training to join the Underhand—the elite agents of the dark elves. When she crosses paths with Karn, she is not all that she appears to be.

Everyone is chasing after the horn of Osius, an ancient artifact with the power to change the world. The lengths to which Karn will go in the name of friendship will be sorely tested. Who knew that solving a riddle could be so deadly?

The novel includes instructions for playing the board game Charioteers. Visit ThronesandBones.com for additional games, maps, character profiles, and more!

Praise for Nightborn:

“Anders presents a captivating world.” —Kirkus Reviews

”[A]n adventure story with good pacing, well-drawn characters, and engaging action scenes.” —Booklist

World Building the Thrones and Bones Series

I am a guest today on Elizabeth O. Dulemba's blog talking specifically about world building for the
Thrones & Bones series.
"When I started the manuscript that would become Frostborn, the first book in the Thrones & Bones series, I began with the setting. I had an idea that I was going to write about a half-human, half-giant girl struggling with her dual heritage, but I really didn’t have much beyond that."

Frostborn Debuts in Paperback Today! Watch the Trailer!

Today, May 26th, is the day that the paperback edition of my middle reader fantasy adventure novel, Frostborn, debuts! To celebrate, we've made an awesome book trailer. The trailer appeared this morning on SciFiChick.com (thank you!), but is now public on YouTube for viewing and sharing. Please check out the awesome trailer!




There is a lot of talent reflected in this. Book cover artwork is by the awesome Justin Gerard, character and scene work by Andrew Bosley, map by Robert Lazzaretti, vocals by RPG Gamer Dad and RPG Gamer Mum, and music by Red Audio UK. Thank you all!

Meanwhile, I'll be signing and rune-stamping the paperback this coming Saturday, May 30th, at 2:00 PM at the Books-A-Million at Brookwood village!

I'll have a set of Thrones & Bones on hand to demonstrate game play and be giving out shrink-wrapped packages of sets of 5 Trading Cards to everyone who wants one!
