Tell us about Idols & Trinkets.

In Idols & Trinkets , both adventure and destiny intertwine as our characters embark on two separate adventures that challenge their faith and resolve.

Drake, alongside his wife Rachal, travels east to Rinevah, the land of his birth. Reunited with long-lost friends, family, and foes, Drake is forced to confront his past while navigating a web of choices that will shape his future. Meanwhile, Isabel and Morgrin venture north, where myths come to life and an urgent mystery beckons. As they journey through treacherous lands, they uncover the elusive Durio Helmar and face decisions that test their beliefs in something greater than themselves.

Rich in legend, danger, and unexpected twists, Idols & Trinkets delves deep into themes of faith, consequence, and the power of belief. This latest chapter builds on the rich tapestry of our previous works-Rise of Grimdor, Deception of Merderick, and The Dead Mountains-to create a thrilling narrative that both challenges and entertains. Fans of action-packed tales and rich fantasy worlds won't want to miss this latest installment.

What inspired you to write Idols & Trinkets?

The inspiration for Idols & Trinkets stemmed from our ongoing curiosity about what lies ahead for our characters and our desire to explore new, uncharted territories within the world we've created. By the time we reached book four, we realized that we had yet to fully discover Drake's origins, particularly his homeland to the east. While we had dropped subtle hints along the way, it felt like the right moment to take readers there and unravel the mysteries that had been lurking just beyond the horizon. This book allowed us to dive deeper and bring new layers to the story, offering fans a fresh perspective on familiar characters and settings.

How did you feel when you found out you received a Book Excellence Award?

We were thrilled to receive a Book Excellence Award as it offered so much more than just a prestigious seal for the cover. Beyond the recognition, it offered a platform to connect with readers, industry professionals, and fellow creatives, ultimately amplifying the impact of our book in the literary world.

How did your background and experience influence your writing?

Growing up, we were both captivated by the epic worlds of fantasy-especially Tolkien's Middle-earth. Those stories lit a creative fire in us early on and planted the dream of building a world of our own someday. That shared passion became the foundation of our writing partnership, and when the idea for an epic fantasy series took shape, we knew it was something we had to do together. Our backgrounds, shared interests, and lifelong love for storytelling have all played a role in shaping the Drake Thomas series into something both personal and expansive-a tribute to the genre that first captured our hearts.

What is one message you would like readers to remember?

You're not alone, and you never have been.

No matter how uncertain or overwhelming life may feel, there's a greater story unfolding-and you have an important place in it.
