Crown of War and Shadow Chat w/J.R. Ward!

Author J.R. Ward stops by to chat with Steph ( @ideallyinspired ) about her brand new romantasy book release: Crown of War and Shadow (*affiliate link) which is available now (including in Kindle Unlimited , y'all)! In this non-spoiler-y episode we discuss the new characters you'll meet in this book (ahem, the line for MERC starts behind Steph), the world-building, and what you can expect from future books within the Kingdoms of the Compass series. And yes, we do have a Black Dagger Brotherhood question, too! Tune in for what was a fun (and yes, unhinged) chat, and be sure to check out her new release Crown of War and Shadow which is available NOW in print + audio, and the ebook is free to read in Kindle Unlimited! YAY!!
