King of Realms with Britt Asher

Inspirational Journeys: Stories that Matter

I reached out to todays special guest after reading the first book of her King of Realms series as part of the Hidden Gems ARC reader program. I fell in love with her dynamic characters and the fantasy world so much that I invited Brit Asher to share the story behind this series. Join us as we talk all things fantasy for middle grade readers and their families. Don’t forget to have your journal or notebook handy, because there are some golden nuggets about publishing and marketing you writers will want to take advantage of. Britt lives in the frigid wasteland known as Minnesota. While she hates the cold and snow, she appreciates the nice summers, the lack of lethal creepy crawlies, and the pretty forests and lakes. Outside of writing, she loves reading, high-speed walking, and high-speed walking while reading--yes, that’s a thing, and no, she hasn’t accidentally walked off a cliff (yet). One of her favorite places is Japan, where she lived for nearly three years and ate far too many sweet potatoes. Britt’s featured book is King of Realms. Varric has two weeks left to live. That’s the least of his problems. Twelve-year-old Varric wants nothing more than to save his mom’s life. After all, it’s his fault she’s dying. But when he breaks into a castle to steal a magical relic that might save her, the relic is stolen right out from under his nose. Even worse, he’s arrested for the theft. Unless he can find and return the missing relic within two weeks, he’ll be executed by a magical explosive on his wrist. As if that weren’t bad enough, Varric discovers that the relic is actually a key to an ancient prison containing a malicious and powerful creature. Varric’s quest to save himself and his mom turns into a race to keep the prison locked and save all of humanity from destruction.
