Cover reveal for Michele Paige Holmes' new fantasy novel
First Light in the Forever After Series.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
About FIRST LIGHT:
Seventeen-year-old Adrielle doesn’t believe in magic; she
merely possesses it, though no one has ever mentioned that her unusual gifts—exceptional
speed, a flair for fire, and an intimate knowledge of flora—aren’t things she
was born with. When Adrielle starts a fire that burns down the family home, she
must deal with both her grief and her siblings’ hurtful rejection.
While journeying to far away Tallinyne, in search of her
older, estranged sister—the only relative who might take her in—Adrielle is
separated from her escort when the carriage is beset by thieves. Alone, she is
thrust into a dangerous and unfamiliar world where she encounters fairies and
gypsies, a wild boar, a drunk cook, and an evil queen whose curse is sweeping
death across the land. Adrielle also finds love, falling hard for a kind,
funny, handsome—and completely unavailable prince.
From the glowing pearls tucked beneath her mattress and
keeping her awake at night, to Queen Nadamaris’s curse that seems to thwart
Adrielle’s every effort, Adrielle struggles to navigate a world of magic she
never imagined, where people she knows and loves are not always what they
appear to be. With the glowing pearls—and her fondest desire—within her grasp,
she is forced to make a choice no girl should ever have to—satisfying her own
heart or saving the kingdom.

About the Author:
Michele
Paige Holmes spent her childhood and youth in Arizona and northern
California, often curled up with a good book instead of out enjoying
the sunshine. She graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree
in Elementary Education, and found it an excellent major in which to
indulge her love of children’s literature.
Her first novel, Counting Stars (Covenant Communications 2007), won the 2007 Whitney Award for best romance. Her companion novel, a romantic suspense titled, All the Stars in Heaven (Covenant 2009), was a Whitney finalist, as was her first historical romance, Captive Heart (Covenant 2011). My Lucky Stars (Covenant 2012) completed the Stars series.
After having a novella published in A Timeless Romance Anthology European Collection (Mirror Press, 2013), Michele decided to focus on historical romance and began Hearthfire Historicals, with the debut novel Saving Grace. A companion novella, Loving Helen will be released February 2015.
Michele has been a member of the same critique group for over fourteen years and feels privileged to meet with fellow authors Annette Lyon, Heather B. Moore, LuAnn Staheli, Sarah M. Eden, J. Scott Savage, and Robison Wells. She has been a member of RWA and URWA, LDStorymakers, and The League of Utah Writers. Michele enjoys both attending and teaching at conferences.
When not reading or writing romance, Michele is busy with her full time job as a wife and mother. She and her husband live in Utah with their five high maintenance children and a Shih-tzu that resembles a teddy bear, in a house with a wonderful view of the mountains.
