Can’t Wait Wednesday: Advocate by Daniel M. Ford

Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings to share upcoming book releases that we’re excited about! This meme is based on Waiting on Wednesday, which was created and hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

I have seriously been loving The Warden series by Daniel M. Ford and I’m excited to pick up the third installment! Aelis de Lenti is leaving Lone Pine to return to the big city, but this trip isn’t for fun. Aelis is being recalled because her advisor was accused of murder by means of magic and now she has to investigate to prove he didn’t do it. I’m excited for a brand new setting and what sounds like some good ol’ fashioned investigative work! Advocate will be released Aprl 22, 2025.


Aelis de Lenti is back on her home turf, but it’s not quite as welcoming as she remembered….

Recalled from Lone Pine to investigate claims of murder by magic against her mentor–legendary Warden Bardun Jacques–Aelis takes to the streets of the grand city of Lascenise, and plumbs the deepest secrets of the Lyceum to clear his name. Certain of her success, she doesn’t count on thieves, subterranean labyrinths, or the assassins that dog her steps from the moment she leaves her tower.

Behind all of it lurks a ring of unknown wizards who can seemingly reach anyone with their magic. Without knowing who she can trust, Aelis must gather what allies she can to unravel the web of intrigue, murder, smuggling, and theft originating in the halls of magic power. With an old friend from her college days, a war-haunted gnome thief-catcher, and the advice of her imprisoned advisor, Aelis races to save lives and expose a conspiracy that seeks to change the face of the world.
