(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, September 06, 2013 ) Spokane, WA -- The Zharmae Publishing Press is proud to announce the recent signing of author Frances Pauli. Her book Shrouded, the first in a four book series in her Princes of the Shroud series, is set release in November 2013.
Vashia’s father is the planetary governor. Unfortunately, he’s also a complete bastard. When he promises her to his lackey, Jarn, she panics and runs. In the nastiest corner of the galaxy, Vashia seizes her one chance at escape and signs on as a bride candidate for the elusive race of aliens known as the Shrouded. On a ship full of lost souls, she absconds to the most sought after planet in history, completely unaware that she’s been manipulated into infiltrating the world for her scheming father’s purposes.
Of the seven, volatile Shrouded princes, Dolfan may be the only one that doesn't covet the throne. So the last thing he expects to find in the future queen is the woman of his dreams. If he wants Vashia, he must accept the throne as well. Unfortunately, his long-term rival has the same idea. Now, only the planet’s sacred crystal can decide their fates.
A Shrouded traitor has poisoned the ancient rituals to ensure a false succession. A foreign Governor manipulates his daughter to launch a covert invasion. When the crystal makes the wrong match, and the right woman is paired with the wrong man, who will dare to question?
Frances Pauli writes speculative fiction, usually with touches of humor or romance, which means, of course, that she has trouble choosing sides. She's always been a fan of things outside the box, odd, weird or unusual, and that trend follows through to her tales which feature aliens, fairies, and even, on occasion, an assortment of humans. More information on her work and upcoming releases can be found on her website http://francespauli.com.
Don’t forget to keep your eyes peeled for Shrouded when it hits the shelves in November 2013.
