EATONTOWN, N.J. - nvtip -- Local author Brianna R. Shaffery, best known for her young adult epic fantasy trilogy the Heirs of Tenebris, is set to celebrate the release of her fourth book, To Sway a Flame, on May 16. The title is book seven in the Tempting Thieves series, a multi-author collaboration of standalone romance-fantasy novels featuring cunning thieves and sizzling chemistry.

"I can't wait to share To Sway a Flame with readers," Shaffery says. "It's a little different from my trilogy because it has more of a focus on the romance between my characters, but it was such a fun story for me to dive into, from watching Adelaide and Gavin fall in love to playing with the fantasy elements I'm known for, I couldn't be more excited to share it!"  The award-winning author teases that while readers will experience a sweet and swoon-worthy romance between her main characters—a common thief, Adelaide, and the kingdom's fiercest protector, Archduke Gavin "White Hawk" Hughes—readers will also be plunged into a world steeped in magic and myth. With a solar eclipse on the horizon and tasked with safeguarding a precious stone known to amplify magical powers, Gavin continues to hunt the Master of Thieves and bring her to justice just as Adelaide is sent to steal the stone from his estate in order to save her family. Thrust into each other's lives, Shaffery explains, "It's a reluctant allies-to-lovers slow burn romance with lots of tender moments as they break down each other's barriers and fight to save the Eye of Behelwer [the mystical stone] from falling in to the Master of Thieves's hands."
