The Conclave Cast - Nottingham—Deep Dive with Nathan Makaryk
play

04/29/22 • 71 min

Tim and SJ are back for a deep dive into Nathan Makaryk's epic and daring debut, Nottingham. Spoilers ahead! Makaryk (@NathanMakaryk) rewrites the Robin Hood legend, giving voice to those history never mentioned and challenging who's really a hero and a villain.

No king. No rules. England, 1191. King Richard is half a world away, fighting for God and his own ambition. Back home, his country languishes, bankrupt and on the verge of anarchy. People with power are running unchecked. People without are growing angry. And in Nottingham, one of the largest shires in England, the sheriff seems intent on doing nothing about it. As the leaves turn gold in the Sherwood Forest, the lives of six people—Arable, a servant girl with a secret, Robin and William, soldiers running from their pasts, Marion, a noblewoman working for change, Guy of Gisbourne, Nottingham’s beleaguered guard captain, and Elena Gamwell, a brash, ambitious thief—become intertwined. And a strange story begins to spread...

The Conclave Cast - 'The Wild Court' With E.G. Radcliff—Teaser Talk
play

04/15/22 • 28 min

Join the Conclave Cast for another author interview! Tim and Lacey meet with E.G. Radcliff (@EgRadcliff) to discuss The Wild Court, the finale of her captivating fantasy trilogy, the Coming of Áed.

What perils await on the other side of the veil?

In the seventh year of Áed's reign, night descends on the autumn festival. But a time of revelry turns into one of fiery destruction—as fae pour across the veil and the Gut becomes a battlefield in an otherworldly war.

Determined to protect his kingdom and the people he loves, Áed finds himself catapulted into a realm as unfamiliar as it is dangerous, where magic is king and wild courts vie for supremacy.

While the faerie Queen's missing consort holds the key to life and death, tenuous alliances raise questions about Áed's connection to the mysterious Bone court. His survival hinges on cunning as much as illusion.

On a mission like no other, only one thing is certain: no one will survive unscathed.

The Conclave Cast - 'Among Thieves' With M.J. Kuhn—Teaser Talk
play

04/08/22 • 43 min

In the Conclave Cast’s second author interview, Tim and SJ have a spoiler-free chat with M.J. Kuhn (@mjkuhnbooks) about her international bestselling debut novel, Among Thieves.

In just over a year’s time, Ryia Cautella has already earned herself a reputation as the quickest, deadliest blade in the dockside city of Carrowwick—not to mention the sharpest tongue. But Ryia Cautella is not her real name.

For the past six years, a deadly secret has kept her in hiding, running from town to town, doing whatever it takes to stay one step ahead of the formidable Guildmaster—the sovereign ruler of the five kingdoms of Thamorr. No matter how far or fast she travels, his servants never fail to track her down...but even the most powerful men can be defeated.

Ryia’s path now leads directly into the heart of the Guildmaster’s stronghold, and against every instinct she has, it’s not a path she can walk alone. Forced to team up with a crew of assorted miscreants, smugglers, and thieves, Ryia must plan her next moves very carefully. If she succeeds, her freedom is won once and for all...but unfortunately for Ryia, her new allies are nearly as selfish as she is, and they all have plans of their own.
