The Tide is finally in for North America!
Posted: 14-May-2008

Great news! The Immortal Prince, Book 1 of the bestselling Tide Lords series is finally available in the USA and Canada.  (UK readers will have a to wait a little longer for the British edition, but you can purchase the series in the meantime through Amazon.uk if you absolutely can't wait.)

So... what is The Tide Lords about I hear you ask? Basically, it's about a suicidal immortal. That was my first choice for a title, actually - Suicide of the Immortals" - but my agent (and the publishers) balked at the idea of having the word "suicide" in the title. Despite my argument that The Virgin Suicides did all right, my pleas fell on deaf ears. Oh well.

The Immortal Prince turned out to be a very cool title, and the book has been a mainstream bestseller in Australia and I still can't believe nobody had thought of it until now...

Publishers Weekly had this to say about The Immortal Prince...

With snappy dialogue and deft characterizations, especially of her sympathetically drawn canine Crasii, Fallon neatly pulls the story threads together into a multihued tapestry of myth, deceit and ambition.

So... here's the blurb ...

When a routine hanging goes wrong and a murderer somehow survives the noose, the man announces he is an immortal. And not just any immortal, but Cayal, the Immortal Prince, hero of legend, thought to be only a fictional character. To most he is a figure out of the Tide Lord Tarot, the only record left on Amyrantha of the mythical beings whom fable tells created the race of half-human, half-animal Crasii, a race of slaves.

Arkady Desean is an expert on the legends of the Tide Lords so at the request of the King's Spymaster, she is sent to interrogate this would-be immortal, hoping to prove he is a spy, or at the very least, a madman.

Though she is set the task of proving Cayal a liar, Arkady finds herself believing him, against her own good sense. And as she begins to truly believe in the Tide Lords, her own web of lies begins to unravel...

You can buy the US edition here from Amazon

Or you can get it from Barnes and Noble

If you live in Canada, you can get it here

If you live in the UK, you can get it here.

You can get the German langauge edition here

And if you live in Australia (or the USA, or Canada for that matter) and haven't got it already, run straight down to your local bookseller and demand they get it for you, if it's not already in stock!

This is a four book series. The next book is The Gods of Amyrantha, will be out early next year, followed by The Palace of Impossible Dreams and then the last book, The Chaos Crystal, which is finished and delivered, so you can start the series confident in the knowledge that if I happen to get hit by a bus before you get to book 4, you'll still be able to find out what happened... LOL.

I hope you have as much fun reading this series as I had writing it.

Following up on the success of her debut novel Medalon, Australian author Jennifer Fallon is back with the second instalment of her rousing Demon Child Trilogy. There's more action and a rash of political shenanigans in Treason Keep, but it's the warmth and humanity of her characters that will keep you reading.
