The Hero's Guide To Being An Outlaw by Christopher Healy; Blog Tour: Character Introduction & Giveaway


Hello & Welcome to the next stop in Walden Pond Press's THE HEROES GUIDE to Being An Outlaw blog tour! Today I'm excited to introduce you to two of the book's characters, twins, Corin Silversword & Norin Black-Ax. First, here's a little bit about the book.


ABOUT THE HEROICS
Prince Liam. Prince Frederic. Prince Duncan. Prince Gustav. You think you know those guys pretty well by now, don’t you? Well, think again. The Princes Charming, along with Ella, 
Snow, Rapunzel, and Princess Lila are caught and arrested for the murder of Briar Rose. 
The heroes are simultaneously shocked and sad to hear of this news. But a series of 
suspicious events leads them to believe that notonly is Briar still alive, but some unseen evil 
is working its way into the throne rooms of all thirteen kingdoms. It’s up to the League to 
break out of prison, find Briar, and uncover the nefarious plot before the entire country is 
destroyed.
