In this, the third novel in the Sea of Ink and Gold Trilogy, Sefia is determined to keep Archer out of the Guard’s clutches and their plans for war between the Five Kingdoms. The Guard has already stolen her mother, her father, and her Aunt Nin. Sefia would sooner die than let them take anymore from her–especially the boy she loves. But escaping the Guard and the Book’s prophecy is no easy task. After all, what is written always comes to pass. As Sefia and Archer watch Kelanna start to crumble to the Guard’s will, they will have to choose between their love and joining a war that just might tear them apart

As many of you will remember, The Reader, the first trilogy installment, was a TRCA 2018 Nominee.

“From Twinkle, with Love” by Sandhya Menon

From the author of When Dimple Met Rishi, a TRCA 2018 nominee, comes a charming romantic comedy about an aspiring teen filmmaker who finds her voice and falls in love.

Aspiring filmmaker and wallflower Twinkle has stories she wants to tell and universes she wants to explore, so when nerdy classmate and fellow film-obsessive Sahil Roy approaches her to direct a film for the upcoming Summer Festival, Twinkle agrees. Suddenly Twinkle begins receiving anonymous romantic emails and finds herself torn between her longtime crush and her film-buff new friend.

Will Twinkle get the chance to showcase her artistic voice? Do dreams come true? Pick up a copy of From Twinkle, with Love today and discover Twinkle’s story.
