Free and Discounted Annals of Alasia eBooks

FREE and Discounted
Annals of Alasia eBooks
for a Short Time Only!

I have had the pleasure of reading and reviewing several of Annie Douglass Lima's middle grade fantasy stories, two of them from the Annals of Alasia series. All three books in the series are now on promotion on Amazon Kindle. One is for free and the other two are discounted to $0.99 each. I have included links to the books as well as links to both of my reviews.

In the Enemy's Service
FREE through Tuesday

In the Enemy's Service (Annals of Alasia) by [Lima, Annie Douglass]

About the Book:

Title: In the Enemy's Service | Author: Annie Douglass Lima | | Pages: 333 | Genre: Fantasy | Recommended Age: Middle Grade

Book Description:

Enslaved when invaders take over Alasia, Anya discovers ways to spy on the enemy and slip information to the resistance. But then she uncovers a disturbing reference to her own family and is confronted by a stranger who seems to know her secrets. Holding her life in his hands, he claims to have proof that Anya’s father was involved in the betrayal that led to the Invasion itself.

In the Enemy's Service is the second book in the Annals of Alasia, but the series can be read in any order, and each book can stand on its own.

 Prince of Alasia (Annals of Alasia) by [Douglass Lima, Annie]

About the Book:

Title: Prince of Alasia | Author: Annie Douglass Lima | | Pages: 234 | Genre: Fantasy | Recommended Age: Middle Grade

Book Description:

Twelve-year-old Prince Jaymin, heir to the throne of Alasia, barely escapes with his life when invaders from neighboring Malorn attack. Accompanied by Erik, his young bodyguard and friend, Jaymin flees to a nearby town to live in hiding. There, coming face to face with the hardships suffered by the poor, he determines to improve his people’s lives someday when he takes the throne, assuming he can reclaim his kingdom.

In his struggle to retain his identity and yet blend in with children in the local school, Jaymin’s life depends on his ability to protect his secret from both enemy troops and unsuspecting townsfolk. Meanwhile, Erik must resort to his skills in unarmed combat to defend Jaymin against everyone from a gang of schoolyard bullies to the Malornians who regularly patrol the streets looking for trouble – and for the missing prince.

As the search intensifies and his enemy’s suspicions grow, Jaymin seeks desperately for a way to save his kingdom and himself. Then he stumbles upon a startling discovery that will challenge his assumptions and forever change his view of Malorn and the events that altered his life.

Prince of Alasia is the first book in the Annals of Alasia, but the series can be read in any order, and each book can stand on its own.

Prince of Malorn
$0.99 through Tuesday

Prince of Malorn (Annals of Alasia) by [Lima, Annie Douglass]

About the Book:

Title: Prince of Malorn | Author: Annie Douglass Lima | | Pages: 460 | Genre: Fantasy | Recommended Age: Middle Grade

Book Description:

One major obstacle stands between seventeen-year-old Prince Korram and the throne that is his birthright: Regent Rampus. Temporary ruler of Malorn, Rampus has no intention of giving up his position when the crown prince comes of age – or of allowing the prince to live long enough to reach that age.

Desperate to build an army of his own to stand against the regent, Korram treks into the Impassable Mountains to try to recruit the one segment of Malornian society not under Rampus’s control. But can he lead a band of untrained hunters and gatherers to victory against the full might of the Malornian military? Or will they all be crushed by the grasping hand of the regent before the prince can claim his rightful throne?

Prince of Malorn is the third book in the Annals of Alasia, but the series can be read in any order, and each book can stand on its own.

Prince of Malorn

Prince of Malorn
Third book in the
Annals of Alasia
by Annie Douglass Lima


About the Book:

One major obstacle stands between seventeen-year-old Prince Korram and the throne that is his birthright: Regent Rampus. Temporary ruler of Malorn, Rampus has no intention of giving up his position when the crown prince comes of age – or of allowing the prince to live long enough to reach that age.

My Review:


A few months back, I had the privilege of reviewing the second book in the Annals of Alasia: In the Enemy's Service. I was so excited when Annie gave me the third book to review too. What's really neat about all three books is that they overlap and can be read in any order.

Prince of Malorn did not move as quickly as the second book did, but I enjoyed it more. If you like survival type stories and if you have an interest in anthropology, then this book will give you something to feast on. Even though it is fantasy, there are many things that made it feel real. Annie builds her characters and develops the people and places of her world

I can tell that a lot of research has gone into her storytelling. Annie writes about survival in the wild and combat maneuvers in detail. I could really picture what she was describing. Little details weren't left out, like how the floor in a tavern was sticky under the shoes. These little tidbits help the reader live the story along with the characters.

This was a vividly interesting and enjoyable read. I recommend Prince of Malorn for children ages 11 and up, including adults.
