The Warrior’s Curse is Released! Jennifer Nielsen March 3, 2020

The Warrior’s Curse is Released!

THE WARRIORโ€™S CURSE is out TODAY!!!

Okay yes, I know Iโ€™ve done a terrible job of talking about this bookโ€™s release, but I promise itโ€™s because Iโ€™ve been busy with some other exciting writing.

However, if you havenโ€™t started The Traitorโ€™s Game series because you like to wait until all the books are out, now is your chance! Keep reading…

If you started book one and didnโ€™t get around to book two, THE DECEIVERโ€™S HEART, then keep reading…

If you read book two and cannot wait to find out what happens to Simon and Kestra, then please get your copy of THE WARRIORโ€™S CURSE and all your questions will finally be answered.

Summary:ย Simon and Kestra are hurtling down paths ever farther from each other as the battle for control of Antora rages.

Simon, newly king of the Halderians, is pressed on all sides by royal duties. Harlyn Mindell is his betrothed and intended queen, but Simon can’t give up hope for a life with Kestra.

Kestra, exiled, feels her magic growing — and despite everyone’s warnings, she knows she must embrace it. That power is the key to the kingdom’s future.

Both still strive to defeat the evil Lord Endrick, but danger awaits them on the murky road forward. And is a common enemy enough to help them survive — or to carry them back to each other?

Jennifer A. Nielsen delivers breathtaking twists and shocking revelations in an epic and action-packed third installment of The Traitor’s Game.

Soooooโ€ฆOn Sunday, I will announce up to five winners for a copy of one of these books. How do you win? You can do any of the following:

  1. Purchase a copy of any of these books.
  2. Call your local library โ€“ if they do not have one of these books, ask them to order it in.
  3. Post on your favorite social media about this series.
  4. Recommend the series to a friend (like aย seriousย recommendation, not just a casual mention, yโ€™know?)

ANDโ€ฆthere will be a grand prize winner, who will win the entire series PLUS an advance readerโ€™s copy of Book 4 of the Ascendance Series, THE CAPTIVE KINGDOM.

You may enter up to four times, once for each item above. Iโ€™ll trust you if you post in the comments below for which of the four things you did.

Winners will be posted Sunday night, March 8, by midnight EST. Entries must be from US, Mexico, or Canada, or have a US address for delivery.

      I also recommended this and all your books to a new volunteer in our theater group who teaches 5th grade. Of course I raved about The False Prince.

      I couldn’t call the library because they have your book but reserved this one as soon as it became available.

    Does it count if I already have a copy of Traitor’s Game? ๐Ÿ˜‰
    Posted on Facebook about the new release and recommended this series to some good friends just the other day when Traitor’s Game was on sale!
    Fortunately for me, my library already has copies of Warrior’s Curse in their system, so that one’s a no go.
    So excited to read Warrior’s Curse and find out what happens to Kestra and Simon!

      Jennifer Nielsen,
      I didnโ€™t want to post three separate comments so I decided to just do one. I completed three of the four. I have got three of my friends reading The Traitors Game series as well as my English teacher. I posted about the Traitors Game on Instagram and recommended a lot of your books that my library didnโ€™t have. I donโ€™t own any of the books but I have read my local libraries copy of book one and two. I canโ€™t wait to find out about jesters and Simon, as well as read the next book in the Ascendance series.

    Serious recommend to at least 5 people! LOVE all your books. You are a very versatile writer. Asked our school library about getting the books (because I recommended them to librarian, they now have 8 of your books). And if I already own all of your books so far, does that count?!? Thank you for sharing your talent. You have turned my kids into readers.

    I did 2, 3, and 4!! (I posted on Facebook.) Also, I technically got The Traitor’s Game when it came out, but that’s fine if it doesn’t count, lol. That was a while ago. Soooo excited for these books!! I’m going to pre-order The Captive Kingdom sometime soon, (if I don’t win ๐Ÿ˜‰ ,) so that I can get it the day it comes out and read the whole thing in the first day! And I can’t wait to find out what happens with Kestra and Simon! I hope they have a happy ending eventually.

    I will have done all of your suggestions once I go to the local library this afternoon. They have The Traitor’s Game, so I’m going to ask them to get the other two in the series. I am always happy to promote your books!
    If any teachers are reading this post, I encourage you to use one of Jennifer’s books in your classroom. I taught The False Prince right after it was published. My students enjoyed it and I loved the work they did on the various activities they did throughout the unit. I’m retired now, but it’s one of the units I’m most proud of creating. She’s published quite a few books since then, so you’ve got a great body of work from which to choose!

I would love it if the Traitor’s Game series continued, but even if it won’t, I will continually reread the series! You are an amazing author!
