"REALM BREAKER" - A New Novel by Victoria Aveyard - Interview

New York TImes best selling Author Victoria Aveyard is back with her new novel, Realm Breaker….. that
kicks off an electric new Fantasy Series perfect for young adults.

Alliances are broken, betrayal walks in the shadows, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance in Realm Breaker. This electric new fantasy series for ages 13+ has high-voltage action, deadly twists, and an adventure for the ages—perfect for fans of J.R.R. Tolkien and Garth Nix. Victoria Aveyard is the bestselling author of the Red Queen series which has sold over 3 million copies.

Irresistibly action-packed and full of lethal surprises, Realm Breaker begins where hope is lost and asks: When the heroes have fallen, who will take up the sword? A strange darkness grows in Allward. Even Corayne an-Amarat can feel it, tucked away in her small town at the edge of the sea. She soon discovers the truth: She is the last of an ancient lineage—and the last hope to save the world from destruction. But she won’t be alone. Even as darkness falls, she is joined by a band of unlikely companions:

• A squire, forced to choose between home and honor.
• An immortal, avenging a broken promise.
• An assassin, exiled and bloodthirsty.
• An ancient sorceress, whose riddles hide an eerie foresight.
• A forger with a secret past.
• A bounty hunter with a score to settle.

Together they stand against a vicious opponent, invincible and determined to burn all kingdoms to ash, and an army unlike anything the realm has ever witnessed. Realm Breaker is on sale starting May 4 from HarperTeen. Recommended for ages 13+.
