Things look a little different around here, don't they? The
dazzling blue is in honor of Outcast Shadows: Styx Trilogy Book Two! It's due out in March, 2017, but
like I did with Miscast Spells, I want to give you little glimpses of the book's plot and
characters before the release. This week is the back-of-the-book teaser. Also,
shout-out to M. Weaver, who helped me with one particularly sticky sentence
(She's also a writer. Check out the novel she's working on here). Anyway, without further ado, here is your first look at Outcast
Shadows:
♠♦♣♥♣♦♠
Airships, experiments, immortal beasts—a maid’s work is
never done!
After being betrayed by a goblin they thought was an ally,
Bostwick and Emmaline must help Queen Delilah collect the map of Styx, which
lies scattered across Ataxia. Aided by a flying machine, they encounter corrupt
dictators, clumsy goat girls, immortal beasts, and—most frightening of all—a
love potion gone horribly wrong.
Meanwhile, Millicent finds herself in the mysterious,
monochromatic city of Chiaroscuro. Sebastian reveals that the city is in
danger, and he needs her to cast a spell from her old magic books—a spell that
she alone knows. But who wrote those books in the first place, and what do they
have to do with Chiaroscuro? To explain, Sebastian shows Millicent visions of
life at Melieh’s Academy of Magic hundreds of years ago. As she learns more
about the school, Sebastian’s past, and the truth behind the test that barred
her from the Academy, she must make a choice that could mean life or death.
Yay!!! March is sooooo far away! :(
ReplyDeleteAlso, FYI, check your link. I couldn't get to the other writer's page.
ReplyDeleteSorry about that! I fixed it.
DeleteLooking forward to it. My wife finished reading Miscast Spells, and she really enjoyed it too, though she was frustrated I had not told her it was a cliffhanger. She didn't realize that it was the first in a series. It is interesting reading it aloud.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least the sequel is coming out in less than a year. Hopefully it won't feel like too long of a wait...
DeleteNo worries. I'm pretty patient about such things. I don't mind the wait.
