From WhiteCrown Publishing
The highly anticipated conclusion to The Susa Chronicles, a YA dystopian retelling of the book of Esther.
The only way to save her people is to betray the king she vowed to protect.
After the results of the Protector competition, Novalise is in more danger than ever. King Zadien seeks to destroy the Alphanites, and the only way Novalise can stop him is by winning a Request—one undeniable favor offered only to those who save the king from a deadly threat. With no imminent danger at hand, Novalise will have to commit treason to save her people.
Zadien is finally stepping into his role as king. With “Astra” by his side, he’s determined to annihilate the traitors responsible for his father’s death. His romantic feelings for her haven’t faded, but pursuing her could leave his kingdom without a monarch. Is their fledgling relationship worth violating the law and risking his crown?
As the clock counts down for her people, Novalise must choose between manipulating the king’s affection and trusting the voice in her heart to lead her. When all her plans crumble, will she hide behind her new identity as a Protector or find a way to rise in such a time as this?
“Non-stop but filled with heart, Proclaimer perfectly follows Protector with the same high stakes, charged but sweet romance, and reveals you won’t see coming. Influenced by the story of Esther, but told with its own valiant heart, Proclaimer opens a window to the sometimes-subtle movements of how God works in His people’s lives despite impossible circumstances. Done realistically but in a unique, futuristic setting, readers will find themselves easily immersed in this epic tale. I know I was!”
— E. A. Hendryx, award-winning author of Suspended in the Stars
“Megan Schaulis is quickly becoming one of my favorite storytellers. In Proclaimer she has crafted another gripping tale bursting with endearing characters and high-stakes action, while also weaving in the perfect blend of sigh-worthy romance and soul-stirring faith. I simply can’t get enough of this series.”
— Becca Kinzer, Carol Award-winning author of Dear Henry, Love Edith
“Rich world building and depth of character throw Astra’s struggle to save her people into sharp contrast with her inner turmoil over her relationship with the king. But the heart of the story reaches even deeper. With themes of obedience, sacrifice, love, and respect, Proclaimer is romantic, action-packed, and faith-centered science fiction at its best! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to read it again!”
— Cathy McCrumb, Award-winning author of the Children of the Consortium trilogy
“Schaulis’s Protector promises an immersive romantic adventure that Proclaimer delivers on and then some. True to life, unique, and conflicted characters, many of whom share interesting bonds, will endear the reader to this classic story with a fresh twist. Pages teem with enhanced female bodyguards, secret plots, a distinct dystopian world, and difficult choices that will pull every heart string in your chest.”
— Lyndsey Lewellen, author of The Chaos Grid duology
