Crown of the Competition

In case I haven’t mentioned it yet, volume three in The Crown of the Blood is now available. The Crown of the Usurper wraps up the exploits of Ullsaard and his friends/ enemies, but if you haven’t started the series yet here’s a great chance to get in on the (giant cat-riding, dinosaur-punching, back-stabbing) action.

It’s competition time and on offer is a set of the complete trilogy. That’s three books, more than 400,000 words for you to enjoy.

What do you have to do?

Simply reply in the comments section with your suggestion for a (purely hypothetical) fourth book in the series – “Crown of the…?” The one that makes me laugh the most gets the prize. Easy-peasy.

Addition: I should have a closing date, shouldn’t I? Entries to be judged on 17th August.

BTW, I’m reading the Path of the Outcast e-book. Very nice so far, and I expect to see a blog entry about it, and the Path trilogy as a whole. I think you have some explaining to do re: the Solitaire…
