Hey readers! Happy Monday! Hope you all had a fantastic weekend! Got an awesome blog tour stop for you today along with an exclusive interview with Matthew Wolf! Up on the chopping block today? Citadel of Fire by Matthew Wolf! Here's a little bit about the book and about our author before we get to the interview!
Returning could be a death sentence, but the journey alone is perilous. Along the way, Gray discovers he has a grandfather. Now he must reach the city before his only living family dies beneath a madman’s torture. Getting there will be a challenge, however, as an enthrallingly unpredictable woman, a dangerous desert, and a horde of thieves stand in his way. Wielding the banished power of wind, Gray rallies against the poisonous evil that seeks to convert the world to their mantra, “strength is life, weakness death.”
Yet with an affable scoundrel and a clever bookworm at his side, Gray discovers the world’s greatest secret… He is not the only one with hero’s blood, and the legend of the Ronin walk the world once again.

His childhood of traveling the world and studying Old English and Japanese influenced the schemes of the Saga, and the world of Farhaven. He is a graduate from UCSB with a Literature degree and a specialization in Medieval Literature and Japanese. His novels include THE KNIFE’S EDGE, and CITADEL OF FIRE, of the bestselling YA Epic Fantasy series, The Ronin Saga.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH MATTHEW WOLF
1) You wake up tomorrow morning and find that,
like the characters in this series, you find yourself wrestling with an
elemental power inside yourself. What Elemental power do you have?
Dang, first off: I wish. Second, I’d probably wield the element of
leaf because I’ve always felt that humans are mean to be connected to nature,
but there’s been this shift or slow departure from the natural world and I find
myself drawn to it, the way Ishmael from Melville’s Moby Dick is drawn towards
the sea. But I think wind is truly limitless—so I envy Gray for that. Hmm, but flesh is just so interesting and
different, and metal in the world we live in has monumental potential as seen
by Magneto from X-Men. I love my strong silent types too, so Dared and the
power of moon has always been such a nice mesh of characterization. In the end, I’d probably just be nature
though, and only be able to lift small to medium-sized coffee tables.
2) Is there any message you want readers to get from reading the book/series?
2) Is there any message you want readers to get from reading the book/series?
Lose yourself in the realm of the fantastic for
being immersed in a truly great series can grant you a kind extra-self, a
person living two lives—one in the realm of our world, and the second in a
realm full of characters with power and magic and more; only to realize that
the difference between these two worlds might not be as profound as we may
think.
But most importantly, when I was young I read
fantasy books ripe with honor, and courage, of virtue—I cherished every moment
a character would choose the courageous over the cowardly, and these traits
helped craft the man I am today. If the
saga can help others embrace some of these codes in any way, I’ll be a happy
man.
3) What authors/works of literature have helped to
inspire this series?
Sword of Truth, Wheel of Time, Lord of The Rings, Le
Mort De Arthur, Seven Samurai.
4) Can you give us a glimpse of what the future
holds for The Ronin Saga?
Many more great books and hopefully lots to
follow—games, movies, the Saga is truly one that I can only see growing and
growing, and I hope to meet many many more fans along the way.
5) The Ronin Saga marks your first
adventure into the literary world. What else can we expect
from Matthew Wolf? More fantasy? Or something else?
More fantasy! I get this question a lot, and the
truth is I’ve only skimmed the froth off the world of the Saga with book one,
and got a good spoonful of what’s to come in book two, Citadel of Fire, but
there’s so much more of the world to unveil: characters to see, mystery and
intrigue, action, plot arcs and gut-wrenching twists that should hopefully make
even the most hardened reader’s head spin, and so much more.
