Jennifer Tempest – The Cardinal War
Edmonton-based author Jennifer Tempest hosted a magical book signing for her debut fantasy novel The Cardinal War, complete with stunning angel wings!
With no known heir to the Empire, four conflicting noble families will use whatever means necessary to claim power for themselves, but only one can become the next ruler. While the nobles fight amongst themselves, some people of the Empire struggle to survive.
The Cardinal War tells the story of Eileen, a young woman who grew up on the streets of Mordale.
