I am extremely pleased to present the official cover for Tales of Kingshold, the brand new upcoming release in D.P. Woolliscroft's incredible Wildfire Cycle! The book is scheduled for a mid-November publication date. The first book in this series Kingshold was one of my favorite reads this year and is currently still in the running in the 2018 Self-Published Fantasy Blog Off contest. And now without further delay, here is the absolutely stunning new cover for Tales of Kingshold....
"I
am Mareth and I collect tales - tales that do not make the official histories.
Join me and learn the secret stories of those who sparked the wildfire. Stories
from our past, from that fateful summer and its aftermath."
If
you loved Kingshold, discover the next installment in the epic Wildfire Cycle.
Tales
of Kingshold, Book 1.5 of the Wildfire Cycle, includes four novelettes
and six short stories.

his noose. When a stranger becomes his cellmate, it signals the beginning of a

is the untold story of how an optimistic pirate took the first step to becoming
King of the North Sea Corsairs, with a bard named Mareth at his side.
