Heck, I’m feeling a jumble of emotions right now – excitement, relief, as well as a little bit of sadness too – as I’m thrilled to finally be able to announce that BLOOD BROKEN, book 8 and the epic finale to my Blackthorn series, is going to be released on… 

20^th May 2019

Caleb and Leila are back, Team Blackthorn! I am so incredibly proud to share the stunning cover with you as well as a teaser of what to expect from Blackthorn’s most controversial couple… 

‘Our love could save us both. Or it could destroy everything.’

Leila McKay is both blessed and cursed. Her potent serryn powers are growing stronger, but they come with a heavy price. And to prove her love for vampire leader Caleb, she needs to bring his murdered brother Jake back to life. The only way is to cast a spell no one has dared to attempt before, that could tear apart the fabric of time itself…

But Caleb fears that treachery runs deep in Leila’s veins. Although the heat between them grows hotter by the second, Caleb’s past has left him with a hard heart and a mistrustful nature, and it was at her sister’s hands that Jake was killed… but with his brother’s life in the balance, giving in to his primal instincts is more tempting than ever.

Time is running out for Caleb. In a matter of hours, Jake will be past the point of saving: and around them, all-out war rages in Blackthorn. With genetically modified lycans and vicious convicts roaming the streets, Sirius Throme at the Global Council has secret plans that threaten to devastate the whole district… and Leila is the only one powerful enough to save them all. But can Caleb really trust her?

With countless lives at stake, will Leila and Caleb’s fierce attraction be strong enough to see them through the ultimate test? Or in unleashing the darkness within, will they destroy everything they hold dear? 

The explosive, action-packed conclusion to the utterly addictive Blackthorn series will leave fans of paranormal romance breathless. Blackthorn is an eight-book series with an overarching plot, so if you’re at the start of your Blackthorn journey, read BLOOD SHADOWS to discover how it all began… 

Read what everyone’s saying about the Blackthorn series:

‘I don’t think I have read such a finely executed dark PNR world before…This series truly surprised me. I didn’t think I would love it that much or be intrigued by it. I couldn’t stop thinking about these books once I was done with them… The world-building is spectacular. The characters are enthralling and addicting… Plain fabulousness.’ Gaga Over Books

‘I am completely enthralled with this paranormal series. You get so wrapped up in the story and characters that you lose track of time… This is one of my favorite series so far this year!’ Paranormal Book Club

‘This is a paranormal universe like none you have encountered before… There are stories that are so powerful, so intense that I do not believe anyone should warn you about what is to come… I truly do feel that if you love the Paranormal genre and have not yet discovered Lindsay J. Pryor or these novels then you need to read them, experience them firsthand.’ Keeper Bookshelf

‘I am officially addicted to this series. Why, you ask? Because Lindsay Pryor is my kind of fearless author. She isn’t afraid to “go there”, to create characters and situations that challenge me as a reader.’The Demon Librarian 

‘Not only are Pryor’s characters and fathomlessly dark love stories fabulous, but her continual world building of Blackthorn blows me away.’ Gravetells.com 

‘If you’re looking for a new PNR series that has a dark world and complicated characters, then you’ll want to grab a copy of this. I can’t wait to read the next book.’ FictionVixen.com

‘She writes paranormal romance mixed with urban fantasy the way I like it – clever world-building, intense characters and no easy options for them to take.’ Nocturnal Book Reviews

CLICKETY-CLICK FINGERS AT THE READY… IT’S UP FOR PRE-ORDER NOW!

Blood Broken is already available to pre-order on Amazon, and other retailers will follow. I’ll update the buy links in New Releases as and when they become available. 

And to pre-empt a question I regularly get asked when a Blackthorn book goes up for pre-order: yes, there will be paperbacks of Blood Broken but they won’t become available until publication day I’m afraid, so these cannot be pre-ordered. 

TIME FOR A CATCH-UP! 

If you’re one of my many readers planning a re-read of the series, you have just over ten weeks to remind yourself of the journey so far. And if you’ve yet to catch up on all of the books, now’s your chance! 

AND BEFORE I GO…

I’m going to take a deep breath before saying this…

I’ve been asked a lot if I’m going to write more Blackthorn books after this. To officially confirm, Blood Broken is definitely the last ever Blackthorn book, ladies and gents. I know sometimes authors add more, but this is the end. With that in mind, stay close throughout May because we’re going to end this series with as much of a bang as we can, including giveaways, revelations about Blackthorn’s creation, and a few blog posts I hope you’re going to really enjoy. It’s all to come. 

And as this is the last ever book in the series, here’s a little something to pave the way to what I hope is going to be an exciting, fun and, of course, utterly angst-ridden end to what has been quite the journey for all of us! 

Grab the popcorn… switch off the lights… turn up the volume… and enjoy our series finale trailer… 

Huge hugs, Team Blackthorn.
