I'm excited to announce the publication of my latest fantasy novel, The Lucky Griffon's Gamble! This is the second book in my Sylvan Hollow Sagas series, set in a richly imagined fantasy world full of magic, adventure, and intrigue.
The Lucky Griffon's Gamble follows the story of Willa Peaseblossom, the humble owner of a small village inn called The Lucky Griffon. When Willa discovers her late uncle left her saddled with a massive debt owed to a ruthless troll moneylender named Lord Grimbald, she becomes desperate to find a way to save her cherished family inn from being seized. Her solution? Enter a high-stakes magical card tournament in a distant city called Galladon, hoping to win enough prize money to appease the crime lord.
What follows is an exciting tale of wonder, friendship, cunning ploys, and daring gambits as Willa journeys far from home for this longshot chance at saving The Lucky Griffon. She bands together with an eccentric wizard named Old Tom and wandering minstrel Dorian Greycastle, braving new realms and mystical opponents alike. But Lord Grimbald and his agents relentlessly pursue Willa, bent on ruining her in revenge for past unpaid debts.
Readers who enjoyed the mix of humor, tenderness, and daring adventure in my first Sylvan Hollow book Sugar and Sorcery will love returning to explore new sides of Willa's courage and cleverness. This unlikely trio faces increasingly elevated stakes calling for growth in skill and spirit alike, leading to unexpected bonds between innkeeper, wizard, and bard against all expectations. Sacrifices mount and darkness gathers, casting Willa's noble quest to preserve family legacy and communal refuge into stark clarity.
Bursting with vivid characters, high-stakes drama, and ultimately touching relationships, The Lucky Griffon's Gamble delivers immersive escapism inviting fantasy lovers to share intimate camaraderie around the hearth between explosively magical near-catastrophes!
You can grab the book now in paperback from your favorite online book retailer or as an ebook for Kindle readers. The Kindle edition is enrolled in Kindle Unlimited, so subscribers can read my novel for free as part of their membership.
I sincerely hope you enjoy this next glimpse into Willa's ongoing adventures! Please reach out with any feedback or just to share your favorite characters or moments once you dive in. Now onto brewing ideas for the next Sylvan Hollow saga...
