We are delighted to announce that Jen A. Egerton has signed with us for her scintillating romantasy, Bonds of Blood and Duty!
Jen A. Egerton is a teacher, mother, and the author of the enchanting romantasy novel Bonds of Blood and Duty. Fascinated by magical realms since childhood, Jen eventually realised—after a few misadventures—that conjuring worlds on paper was a safer bet than attempting to open a portal herself. When she’s not immersed in a book (always promising herself just one more page), Jen enjoys playing with her two young children and indulging her love of cooking by preparing way too much food for her extended family.
Whilst including some of our favourite tropes, such as forbidden love, slow-burn romance and found family, Bonds of Blood and Duty gives a refreshing take on fae romantasy. Evelin’s greatest secret isn’t her love for a rival fae king, but the human child she bore—and the dangerous truths that could tear their realms apart…
Egerton’s youngest son has Williams Syndrome, a rare genetic disability, which inspired this novel. Some scholars believe that people with Williams Syndrome may have been the inspiration for some of the first legends of elves and fairies as they often have distinct facial features called ‘elfin facies’. Bonds of Blood and Duty explores what it is like to have a child who has been born ‘different’ and the challenges that come with searching for answers.
Bridgerton meets A Discovery of Witches in this thrilling tale of love and sacrifice – coming late 2025!
