Austin, Texas:  MJ Heiser, whose debut novel, Corona, was released to exceptional reviews on Amazon and Barnes and Noble, has announced that the sequel, Canticle, has been released through Phoenix House Press in cooperation with Literary Underground.  Canticle is now available for download on the Amazon Kindle and the Barnes and Noble Nook for the exceptional introductory price of $2.99.  

Canticle follows the story of Athena Falcon, a character introduced in Corona, as she undertakes her first mission as a newly-minted Traveller.  Despite her certainty that her calling is a duty and that there is no true heroism in the world, she is soon caught up in a plot to overthrow the peaceful land of Jaenrye.  She encounters a seer by the name of Pietr Von Gloring, a mysterious child, and a former legend in the Traveller order, and along the way, she learns a lot about the spirit of heroes, and, eventually, herself.

A print version of this edition is in the planning stage now.  Canticle is the second book in the series, The Chronicles of Jaenrye.  

MJ Heiser is the editor for Literary Underground and contributes her editing talents to the interactive blog fiction project, Choose or Die.  She resides in Austin, Texas, with her husband.
