Everyone is warmly invited to join us for Lone Star Lit at Malvern Books. This friendly, informal book club will focus on books by Texas writers (and with a bit of luck the authors themselves might sometimes be able to join us too!)

This meeting will take place virtually via Zoom. If you’d like to join in the online chat, PLEASE RSVP becky@malvernbooks.com with “lone star lit” in the subject line. The book can be purchased via our online store or call us on 512-322-2097 for curbside pick up or to make an appointment to visit the store.

For our July meeting, we’ll be discussing The Sisters Mederos by Patrice Sarath, who will join us for part of the discussion.

Two sisters fight with manners, magic, and mayhem to reclaim their family’s name, in this captivating historical fantasy adventure. House Mederos was once the wealthiest merchant family in Port Saint Frey. Now the family is disgraced, impoverished, and humbled by the powerful Merchants Guild. Daughters Yvienne and Tesara Mederos are determined to uncover who was behind their family’s downfall and get revenge. But Tesara has a secret—could it have been her wild magic that caused the storm that destroyed the family’s merchant fleet? The sisters’ schemes quickly get out of hand—gambling is one thing, but robbing people is another…. Together the sisters must trust each another to keep their secrets and save their family.

PATRICE SARATH is an author and editor living in Austin, Texas. Her novels include the fantasy series Books of the Gordath, and the romance The Unexpected Miss Bennet. Her numerous short stories have appeared in many magazines and anthologies.
