WHERE CAN I GET AN ARC COPY FOR REVIEW?

We are no longer offering advanced reader copies (ARCs) because as soon as a book is finished, we release it! We want everyone to be able to read these books as soon as possible, which doesn’t allow enough time to send out advanced copies.

WILL THERE BE MORE SERIES SET IN THE HIDDEN LEGENDS UNIVERSE?

Yes! We plan to continue writing in this world for the foreseeable future. We will be visiting the Midnighters (vampires), Atlanteans (mermaids), Astromancers (enchanters), Celestials (angels) and more!

ARE YOUR BOOKS AVAILABLE ANYWHERE OUTSIDE OF AMAZON?

YES! The Hidden Legends books are now available on all major retailers in ebook, paperback, and audio format. Audiobooks and ebooks can also be purchased directly from us and accessed through the BookFunnel app. Visit our books page to find links to each book.

WHERE CAN I BUY PAPERBACK/HARDBACK COPIES?

The best place to buy hard copies is online straight from the printer IngramSpark. Each book page on our site has a direct link to order (start here). Otherwise, our books are available through most online retailers, including Amazon, and they can be ordered by bookstores around the globe. 

ARE THE BOX SETS AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK/HARDBACK?

Due to the size of these books, we’re unable to print the box sets in physical format, as the page count would exceed the limits at the printers we use. You can purchase the box sets in ebook and audio format on all major digital retailers.
 

WILL YOU EVER MAKE YOUR BOOKS INTO A TV SHOW/MOVIE?

We are always looking into all options regarding creating Hidden Legends into a film series. The more people who know about Hidden Legends, the greater possibly we’ll be able to bring our characters to film, so spread the word and keep telling other readers about our books!
