On Tour 06/08/25-07/17/25 “ The Gimirri Invasion” by Colleen M. Story

Release Date: June 10, 2025

About The Book:

The year is 696 B.C. For two decades, Phrygia has prospered under King Midas. But from the northern mountains, the savage Gimirri warriors ride to shatter the peace, marching toward Gordium.

Princess Zoe, daughter of Midas, begs her grief-stricken father to summon the army, but the once-great king refuses. Alone, Zoe uncovers a darker truth: Denisia, goddess of the natural world, seeks to free Katiah, the vengeful goddess of the underworld.

Meanwhile, Midas’ sister, Elanur, is held captive by the Gimirri. Forced to raise a stolen child, she learns their leader’s brutal plans to destroy Gordium. Torn between loyalty and newfound bonds, she must escape to warn her people.

Deep in the underworld, Emir—a warrior long thought lost—faces his own battle against the darkness. His fate, intertwined with Katiah’s, may shift the balance of power and determine the outcome of the war above.

The gripping saga that began in The Curse of King Midas continues—kingdoms crumble, loyalties shatter, and destiny is forged in fire.
