Queen of Blades Release

Release of Realm of Hope’s Sequel

Excited to finally announce the release of Realm of Hope’s sequel, Queen of Blades! It was released back in February and I’m beyond thrilled with the feedback from early reviewers!

I know it’s been a longer time than expected in between releases of Realm of Hope and its sequel. Apologies for the wait! It’s been a struggle the past few years balancing personal life changes along with getting a new but absolutely amazing editor and having to get her up to speed on everything! There were many drafts and rounds of revisions that went into this sequel and getting it to be the best it can be! I hope for some of you at least, it was worth the wait!

Some early reviews:

“Oh my gods, E. L. li has done it again! I loved this sequel so much! we got to watch the team grow and face challenges together. skye is learning to become human and oh i wish i could give her a hug, she needs so many cookies and warm tea. if you are a lover of kingdom hearts, i urge you to give this series a read. it reminds me of the game and i listened to the soundtracks from the series while reading (which is the move honestly it really fits the vibe). Thank you so much for letting me be an arc reader for you! I can’t wait for book 3!!!”

“The world-building? Next-Level. The Character arcs? Chef’s kiss. I was already obsessed, but now i’m officially unwell over this series. The team dynamic was also top-tier and the other characters got some great development which made every moment shine even more. and that ending??? Diabolical.”

“E.L Li has upped her game with Queen of Blades. I was a fan of the first book, but this one had me committed. Realm of Hope perfectly sets up Queen of Blades, and Li expertly captures how her characters feel as young adults with the burden of the world on their shoulders. Li knows how to create a shocking plot twist and heart-rending flashbacks, slowly revealing her plot and building tension to an epic final battle. this was an absolute rollercoaster.”

BLURB:

In the pursuit of doing good, they must sacrifice some of the good in themselves.

After their deadly encounter at the Typhon’s Base, Skye and her team are left with more questions than answers. Now ranked among the elite within the Agency, they’re thrust back into the chaos of a world in peril. Rogue Cerberus members and terrifying new Risen threaten the fragile balance of the Realm.

To uncover the truth and halt the Typhons’ destructive plans, Star Strike must venture into the treacherous Labyrinth. As battles rage and secrets come to light, the young Agents face new foes, forge unexpected alliances, and grapple with the cost of their mission.

With the Realm’s survival at stake, the team must confront their greatest fears and darkest truths. The war between Mortals grows ever more desperate, and the clock is ticking.

Queen of Blades, the electrifying sequel to Realm of Hope, cranks up the action, drama, and stakes in a battle for the fate of the Realm. Packed with epic fights, unforgettable characters, and jaw-dropping twists, it’s a must-read for fans of video games, Dungeons & Dragons, and adrenaline-fueled fantasy adventures. Don’t miss this next chapter in the fight against darkness!

Need a refresher on what Realm of Hope is about? Here’s the blurb!

Blurb

Darkness is rising...

Gripping and action-filled, Realm of Hope is an epic science-fantasy tale with magic, supernatural powers, superheroes, and a large and diverse cast, perfect for fans of Percy Jackson & The Olympians, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Kingdom Hearts, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

For the first time in several millennia, nations set aside their differences. Only an interplanetary level threat could simmer down any tensions between leaders. Peace has never been eternal. Throughout the Mortal Realm, powerful bloodlines, clans, and royal families stepped up to save their worlds from the brink of destruction. Past heroes had plenty of living descendants with exclusive powers.

Annually, mortals aged five to six take an examination to determine if they’d possess inherent capabilities, such as heat immunity or the ability to travel at the speed of light, which would grant them the privilege of becoming trained Agents. Lumière Inc. placed those with potential into teams, training them for more than a decade.


Agents were symbols of hope. Decades passed, however, and cynicism rose. Morale needed a boost. Dream Teams formed. With bloodshed and shattered dreams recorded throughout history, they can only hope their fates won’t face inevitable doom. In the pursuit of tracking down the root cause of the rising everlasting darkness, our heroes must not lose sight of themselves.

Realm of Hope is the first book in the thrilling science-fantasy trilogy and sets up the Celestial Legacies Universe. E.L.Li’s debut novel depicts modern themes of dealing with loss, harsh realities, self-doubt, acceptance, rising up to pressure, and expecting the unexpected. Expect brutality, danger, and revelations in the fight for a cause that may be lost.
