A Hero’s Journey Is a Tale of Tragedy.

In the wake of his brother’s death, Theodore’s world is irrevocably shattered. Now he stands alone against the shadows that dance at the whims of Gods. Clad in armour touched by magic and driven by a sharp mind, he faces a world of chaos and trials of unimaginable darkness all to save his brothers life.

Yet, Gods have never been known to play fair – especially the war god – Arēs

Description

Soul Bond is normally the most romantic night of the year, but for Hew, that night promises to be a nightmare. Afflicted by a terrible curse, Hew knows he must either submit to blackmail or get help. Magic is illegal, so Hew must break the law and dive into the seedy underbelly of the city, where he finds more than he ever believed possible. However, even with Ren’s help, breaking Hew’s curse might ensure their executions on Soul Bond Night, rather than experiencing the romance the holiday usually promises.

Writing: What’s Next

Thank you so much to everyone who helped make Broken World’s release day such a success! I am so happy with how it went and hope that everyone enjoys reading the latest instalment!

Now that it is out there, I am planning what I will be working on next. So far, I am undecided between starting Book 4 in the series or returning to where I left off with Demon’s Life. I have the first scene for Perfect World 4 already mapped out in my head and the series will be taken in exciting new directions going forward! Demon’s Life is halfway complete and it would make sense to finish that first so I am leaning towards doing this. 

I also want to continue my fantasy novel which is also currently in progress! I would love to do all 3 but the most I can manage is probably two at once. I always like to have two books on the go at any one time as it helps if I have writer’s block with one I can change to the other until inspiration returns.

Once I have decided I will be sure to post an update and let you all know. If you have a preference of what you would like to see next do please comment and let me know, as I always take my readers’ thoughts into consideration 🙂

Broken World – Print Proof

image1My print proof of Broken World arrived yesterday evening! I only ordered it the other day so I was really surprised (and happy!) that it came so quickly. Because I am a perfectionist, I can already see a couple of things I want to tweak but hopefully there won’t be many edits! I also couldn’t resist taking a photo of my Perfect World series together! I love how they all look and I cannot wait to take a proper photo once Broken World’s print edition has been finalised!

Cover Reveal: Broken World (Perfect World 3) by Shari Sakurai

Today I am so excited to finally be able to share with you all the cover, title and blurb for book 3 in my Perfect World series!

Book 3 is called Broken World and it continues right where New Era left off. I hope you love the cover as much as I do! The release date will be… Friday 8th July 2022! There will be series review tour and I will post details of this very soon so if anyone is interested in an ARC (and for new readers the entire series will be available, including companion novel ‘Adam’) I would love it if you could sign up to that! I will also be posting excerpts starting from June so please look forward to that too!

Broken World by Shari Sakurai

Eric Rawlins has made the people of England a promise. That he will stand for them against Ivan Williams and the L.S.A, but with politics and agendas threatening to dictate his every move, Eric struggles to find allies that he can trust.

When a daring mission to rescue Adam’s staff goes awry, Eric finds that he is starting to question himself in ways that shake him to the very core. Whilst grappling with his inner turmoil, Eric can also see that Adam is struggling against his own demons.

As the pressure begins to build, Eric takes the fight to Williams. However, Adam’s dangerous obsession with revenge threatens to not only put the entire operation in jeopardy, but his relationship with Eric too.

Print Proof of New Era

I’ve managed to pick up another viral infection, so I am feeling pretty yuck today but my proof copy of New Era (Perfect World Book 2) print edition arrived so that cheered me up! It looks really good and I can’t wait to be able to sign it off for publication! I will have to wait a bit though as it contains the blurb for Perfect World Book 3 which hasn’t been released yet!

I have also managed to stick to my writing goals for the week so far! I am over halfway through the formatting for Perfect World 3 and I’ve been able to write a chapter of Demon’s Past so I am very happy about that!
