Today is day 16 (woohoo – I’m over half way through) of my countdown to 2023. Today’s prompt is ‘Turkey Dinner’. The prompts can be found here if you want to join in. I’m hoping to use mostly books read this year. Let’s begin:
TURKEY DINNER (A book that is almost too big to face)
For this prompt I’ve chosen a book that I had reservations about requesting. It’s (more or less) 500 pages and whilst I wanted to read it I was also a little worried that I might not be in the right mood – I’m so glad I picked this up though. It completely won me over and was a compelling read. The Justice of Kings (Empire of the Wolf #1) by Richard Swan.
Tomorrow: Glitter – A book that you simply have to have

“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme that was originally created by Breaking the Spine. Unfortunately Breaking the Spine are no longer hosting so I’m now linking my posts up to Wishful Endings Can’t Wait Wednesday. Don’t forget to stop over, link up and check out what books everyone else is waiting for. If you want to take part, basically, every Wednesday, we highlight a book that we’re really looking forward to. This week my book is : The Tyranny of Faith (Empire of the Wolf #2) by Richard Swan because I absolutely loved The Justice of Kings:
From a major new debut author in epic fantasy comes the second book in a trilogy where action, intrigue, and magic collide. Sir Konrad Vonvalt is an Emperor’s Justice: a detective, judge, and executioner all in one. But these are dangerous times to be a Justice….
A Justice’s work is never done.
The Battle of Galen’s Vale is over, but the war for the Empire’s future has just begun. Concerned by rumors that the Magistratum’s authority is waning, Sir Konrad Vonvalt returns to Sova to find the capital city gripped by intrigue and whispers of rebellion. In the Senate, patricians speak openly against the Emperor, while fanatics preach holy vengeance on the streets.
Yet facing down these threats to the throne will have to wait, for the Emperor’s grandson has been kidnapped – and Vonvalt is charged with rescuing the missing prince. His quest will lead him – and his allies Helena, Bressinger and Sir Radomir – to the southern frontier, where they will once again face the puritanical fury of Bartholomew Claver and his templar knights – and a dark power far more terrifying than they could have imagined.
Expected publication: February 2023
