What’s an underrated micro-trope you can’t get enough of? Let us know in the comments! 💙🐦‍⬛

One we can’t get enough of is reluctant found family. Think grumpy, guarded characters who want to be left alone, yet somehow find themselves collecting strays and building a family of their own. They might not like it, but they’re in it now!

Mortedant’s Peril by R. J. Barker delivers this brilliantly, alongside:
🐦‍⬛ Flawed protagonists
🗡️ Fantasy murder mystery
🏙️ Politically divided cities
💀 Unique magic

We recently chatted with R. J. Barker about the inspiration behind Mortedant’s Peril, his writing process, building magic systems and more. Catch our spoiler-free Fairy Chat on our Instagram profile under the Reels tab! 🤩

Mortedant’s Peril was our Quarter 2 Epic ‘Marker for Murder’ featured book and has an exclusive redesigned cover with foil by gammatrap and design by lydiablagden, a reversible dust jacket, full colour artwork on the hardcover with foil by claymorecovers and design by lydiablagden, artwork on the endpapers with foil by franvegasart (different front and back), a digitally sprayed edge by flarity.art, it’s signed by the author and included an author letter bound into the book.
