If you loved The Hunger Games



 A thrilling saga of a boy, Gallin, and a girl, Alexine, lifelong friends, who escape an assassin on their shared 16th birthday only to face mortal danger on a different world
 
TYRANT'S CROWN: Brothers and Sisters is international best-selling author Joseph Amiel's thrilling saga of a boy, Gallin, and a girl, Alexine, lifelong friends, who escape an assassin on their shared 16th birthday only to face mortal danger on a different world, but also the prospect of greater power and purpose than they could have ever imagined. It is the first book in the TYRANT'S CROWN series. 
 
Dropped into a strange version of London in the 1770s, they join the crowd outside Westminster Abbey viewing the national 16th birthday celebration of the king's son and the latter's future bride. Shockingly, the two look exactly like Gallin and Alexine, who must go on the run to evade arrest for the capital crime of impersonating royalty. When captured, Gallin cleverly evades their execution by claiming the ancient right of Trials by Combat against their look-alikes, death duels to become sole heirs to the king and queen. They have only a month at the Royal Academy to learn the lethal combat skills their foes have trained in there for years. The increasingly deranged tyrant king has own reasons for their elimination and, in that effort, reveals to a populace kept ignorant for centuries much of the ruling class's astonishing secret technology.

The battles shift from London's palace and alleys to a TV spectacle fought with swords in mid-air over Philadelphia, the city where their new friends, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson, are debating independence from the Crown. As dark mysteries hidden in the past unravel and their alliances shift, Gallin and Alexine are plunged into the perils of an American Revolution far different from what they studied in school.

MARGARET FIELAND INTERVIEW (guest blogger)

When did you first know you were destined to be a writer? LOL, I never realized I was destined to be a writer -- I fell into it. I'd written poetry for years, collecting it in notebooks stacked in my attic when I wrote one I wanted to keep. This led me to several online sites and ultimately to discovering the Muse Online Writers Conference where I hooked up with Linda Barnett Johnson and joined her writers forums. She required everyone to write both fiction and poetry, so, with much trepidation, I started writing fiction. Then I got hooked on it, wrote a chapter book, took the ICL course and actually learned how to write it. Then in 2010, I was seized by a desire to write a sci fi novel, so I spent six weeks or so on world building, mostly, with a bit of plotting thrown in for good measure. Who would you cite as your influences? I'm a way-back sci-fi fan, and Robert A. Heinlein influenced me heavily. I took a lot away from his writing, notably the value of surpris...

Those S and ES Endings by Mary Deal

These endings have always troubled me until I finally decided to get it right. Compare the versions and pick out the correct usages in this name ending with the letter s . The Joneses came for dinner. The Jones’s came for dinner. The Jones came for dinner. John Joneses car stalled. John Jones car stalled. John Jones’s car stalled. That Jones’s girl. That Joneses girl. That Jones girl. The correct sentences are: The Joneses came for dinner. John Jones’s car stalled. That Jones girl. Some tips: When a name ends with an s, and when speaking of the family as a group, add es , as in Joneses. When speaking about something John Jones owned, it is his property and, therefore, an apostrophe and s shows ownership, as in Jones’s . When speaking about a person in the singular, use only the name Jones. However, when speaking about a group of girls all named Jones, you would write that sentence: The Jones girls . Notice that the name stays...
