To Purchase The Cadet of Tildor: Amazon
I am totally thrilled to be sharing with you today, the Meet the Trailer Cast, The Cadet of Tildor Media Kit, and the actual trailer for The Cadet of Tildor and, which is a highly anticipated brand spankin' new young adult high fantasy that will be coming out at the beginning of next year. If you enjoyed Kristin Cashore's trilogy that starts with Graceling, then you're sure to love this one just as much. Her writing style and brand of storytelling is being compared to the likes of Tamora Pierce and George R. R. Martin. This book is a must read for any fan of high fantasy novels in general or just for anyone in particular who enjoys smart saavy political medival fantasy. This is certainly the book you should be looking forward to at the beginning of the new year.
I am excited to get to be part of this trailer tour and share this wonderful goodness with you.

This beautiful epic book trailer was put together by a Medieval Reenactment Group “Liberi Lusenta” located in Italy and the trailer tour was brought to you by in part by AToMR Tours. If anything, this stunning trailer definitely makes me want to read this book even more. I'm not usually into high fantasy (although I do enjoy fantasy quite a bit - moreso on the darker side than anything and usually involving faeries, trolls, etc.) but this one looks like it's going to be such a fantastic force to be reckoned with. I mean, it comes highly praised for sure. So, it definitely makes me want to check it out.
