Today's Kindle Romance Daily Deal is From Notting Hill with Love...Actually ($1.99), by Ali McNamara [Sourcebooks Landmark]. This is a pretty good deal, if you missed it when it was free last December, as Sourcebooks seldoms seems to repeat freebies (and has slowed way down on having them, anyway).Book Description
She was a girl, standing in front of a boy...

Larger-than-life new friends, a handsome but irksome new neighbor, and a mystery from her past may prove to Scarlett that living her life like a RomCom is more complicated than she thought!
Today's Kindle SciFi/Fantasy Daily Deal is all three Legends of Muirwood books ($0.99 each), by Jeff Wheeler [47North]. Even if you already have the series in your library (as I do), you may want to pick up these new editions, published by one of Amazon's imprints (and probably a bit more polished and proofed), just for access to the companion audiobooks (2 of 3 so far and I suspect all three eventually will be Whispersync compatible).The Wretched of Muirwood (companion audiobook $1.99)
In the ancient and mystical land of Muirwood, Lia has known only a life of servitude. Labeled a “wretched,” an outcast unwanted and unworthy of respect, Lia is forbidden to realize her dream to read or write. All but doomed, her days are spent toiling away as a kitchen slave under the charge of the Aldermaston, the Abbey’s watchful overseer. But when an injured squire named Colvin is abandoned at the kitchen’s doorstep, an opportunity arises. The nefarious Sheriff Almaguer soon starts a manhunt for Colvin, and Lia conspires to hide Colvin and change her fate. In the midst of a land torn by a treacherous war between a ruthless king and a rebel army, Lia finds herself on an ominous journey that will push her to wonder if her own hidden magic is enough to set things right. At once captivating, mysterious, and magic-infused, The Wretched of Muirwood takes the classic fantasy adventure and paints it with a story instantly epic, and yet, all its own.The Blight of Muirwood
In The Blight of Muirwood, the second book in the Muirwood Trilogy, Lia finds herself filled with inner turmoil after the great battle of Winterrowd that led to the death of the wicked king and her closest ally.

Her duties are put to the test when the Queen Dowager arrives in Muirwood accusing the Aldermaston, the abbey’s overseer, for the king’s death. Amidst the turmoil, battle ensues, and Lia learns of a terrible plague that threatens to cover the land in darkness and death. Atop it all, the magic of the world begins to fail. In a quest to undo the devastation, Lia’s path brings her to a startling revelation that will change her life forever.The Scourge of Muirwood (companion audiobook $1.99)
