And here, in all its awesome, is the cover for Ascendant--the second book in Diana Peterfreund's killer unicorns series. I love it. I love it from the complicated look on Astrid's face, to the scroll work on the sword, to the slightly lighter overall tones. Yep. It's gonna look just swell next to my copy of Rampant. What do you guys think? And if you'd like a chance to win an ARC of Ascendant, Diana's giving one away right now! I love what you have to do to enter--comment with a 6-word work of fiction. Check it out.
It seems a long time ago now that I first read Shiver -- the first book in the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy. But looking back I started it on the plane ride to BEA and finished it there in the conference center, fingers gripping the cover tightly, while sitting on the floor in one of the many autograph lines. And now it's May again and BEA is right around the corner and I emerge from my recent and nasty reading slump stupor to find a copy of Linger sitting in my mailbox like a glove thrown down in the dirt. "I will be the one to pull you out," it whispers to me slyly. "Just open me up and take a sip. I promise--one sip is all it will take." And I look at it with fear and longing written all over my face. "You promise?" I ask intently. "Because it's been a long walk in the cold and I'm not sure I can take another disappointment." "Just open me up," it says, confidence written all over its cover. And so I do. And everythin
I love that cover! Thanks for posting it :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that's such a beautiful cover! I haven't read Rampant although I'm curious about it. Killer unicorns sound awesome.
ReplyDeleteprophecygirl, my pleasure. I've been eagerly awaiting it!
ReplyDeleteChachic, isn't it? Yeah, the killer unicorns are nothing but win. I'm anxious to see where Astrid and the gang go in this one.
It's such a beautiful cover! I just love, love, love it. I can't wait to read it; I just finished Rampant a couple weeks ago and I'm hungry for more!

ReplyDeleteKiller unicorns? Okay, even if the cover wasn't amazing, I am now very interested by the killer unicorns :)
Kay, yup. Having just finished RAMPANT you are primed for this baby!
ReplyDeleteCat, lol. Hie thee to a bookstore/library near you and get your hands on RAMPANT. She really knocks the whole killer unicorn thing out of the park. Truly.
