It occured to me today, as I was putting the finishing touches on Book 4 of the Tide Lords, The Chaos Crystal, that it is only a week until the US release of Book 1 - The Immortal Prince.

This auspicious occasion calls for a countdown, I think, complete with shiny sparkly things and numbers that count down the seconds, as well as the minutes, days, months, years, eons, etc...

In the meantime, if you're undecided about plunging into this world, here's what the reviewers have to say about The Immortal Prince...

"We have come to expect compelling and complex characters from Jennifer Fallon and in The Immortal Prince, she does not disappoint... The Immortal Prince is as strongly character driven as her previous work, with the same intriguing social and political dynamics that have made Fallon's work a favourite among adult fantasy readers."
-- Bookseller & Publisher

"Fallon begins her latest epic asking the question of how an immortal, tired of immortality, might find his way to death? With her vivid style and snappy dialogue, Fallon embarks on a rollercoaster ride of mortal and immortal machinations, as the ruthless and immoral Tide Lords emerge from a thousand years of hiding into a world where everyone has attributed the stories of their existence to myth. Everyone, that is, but the mysterious and secretive Cabal, who watch and wait in the shadows, searching for a way to protect humanity from the Tide Lords’ return."
-- Nexus

"...this complex saga, like Fallon's earlier Hythrun Chronicles, intertwines several vividly realized plots. With snappy dialogue and deft characterizations, especially of her sympathetically drawn canine Crasii, Fallon neatly pulls the story threads together into a multihued tapestry of myth, deceit and ambition."
