🏰 BLOG TOUR 🏰 We’re so buzzing to be invo 🏰 BLOG TOUR 🏰

We’re so buzzing to be involved in the blog tour for #TheStoneKeep by S. K. Marley from @heroicbooks ✨

We loved this novel. It imagines magic in a new way - different from what you’re familiar with. The world is vivid, the language lyrical and compelling. Enjoyed every word.

“With a refreshing magic system and a world designed to perfection, Marlay’s The Stone Keep holds a tight grip, and won’t let go until you’re charmed.”
