Summer Reading Challenge Book Giveaway: Enter to Win Two Upcoming Fantasy Books fromTor Books
Calling all bibliophiles and fantasy aficionados participating in our free BAMTP Summer Reading Challenge (YES, you can still join!)! Want a chance to read an upcoming August fantasy release EARLY?! Tor Books was so gracious and offered to send two early copies of some upcoming books: Thornhedge by T. Kingfisher and The Water Outlaws by S.L. Huang to give away to Summer Reading Challenge participants. I just finished reading Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher a couple weeks ago, so I’m BEYOND excited to read Thornhedge!
Here’s a quick synposis on each:
Thornhedge by T. Kingfisher
“There's a princess trapped in a tower. This isn't her story.
Meet Toadling. On the day of her birth, she was stolen from her family by the fairies, but she grew up safe and loved in the warm waters of faerieland. Once an adult though, the fae ask a favor of Toadling: return to the human world and offer a blessing of protection to a newborn child. Simple, right?
But nothing with fairies is ever simple.
Centuries later, a knight approaches a towering wall of brambles, where the thorns are as thick as your arm and as sharp as swords. He's heard there's a curse here that needs breaking, but it's a curse Toadling will do anything to uphold…”
The Water Outlaws by S.L. Huang
“In the jianghu, you break the law to make it your own.
Lin Chong is an expert arms instructor, training the Emperor's soldiers in sword and truncheon, battle axe and spear, lance and crossbow. Unlike bolder friends who flirt with challenging the unequal hierarchies and values of Imperial society, she believes in keeping her head down and doing her job.
Until a powerful man with a vendetta rips that carefully-built life away.
Disgraced, tattooed as a criminal, and on the run from an Imperial Marshall who will stop at nothing to see her dead, Lin Chong is recruited by the Bandits of Liangshan. Mountain outlaws on the margins of society, the Liangshan Bandits proclaim a belief in justice―for women, for the downtrodden, for progressive thinkers a corrupt Empire would imprison or destroy. They’re also murderers, thieves, smugglers, and cutthroats.
Apart, they love like demons and fight like tigers. Together, they could bring down an empire.”
So, you’re like, ‘Ashley, these both sound AMAZING. Get to the point, how do we enter?!’
