(Shadow Spark Press, 2025).

Fans of epic fantasy mixed with romance will devour this thrilling new adventure written by the husband-and-wife team of Collins and Collins.

“Of all the messages Dimitar carried, he now delivers the worst of all: vile corrupted creatures have returned and murdered the king’s best friend. The king leaves to seek retribution and gives Dimitar an order he doesn’t expect: guard the princess, Kaleela. When Corruptors then kidnap her father, she insists on rescuing him. Dimitar must break his vow to keep her safe in the kingdom, and together infiltrate the enemy’s lair… unless the Corrupted capture Kaleela first,” the publisher previews.

As one reviewer noted: “In the Name of Honor is a compelling read that flawlessly merges multiple points of view, high-stakes adventure, an engaging plot, emotionally charged storylines, complex characters rich in diversity, and a well-designed world that will immediately grasp your undivided attention. It is a riveting story that touches on love, grief, revenge, courage, power, darkness, and war.”
