It all began with a ruined elixir and an accidental bolt of lightning…

Iolanthe Seabourne is the greatest elemental mage of her generation—or so she’s being told. The one prophesied for years to be the savior of The Realm. It is her duty and destiny to face and defeat the Bane, the greatest mage tyrant the world has ever known. A suicide task for anyone let alone a sixteen-year-old girl with no training, facing a prophecy that foretells a fiery clash to the death.

Prince Titus of Elberon has sworn to protect Iolanthe at all costs but he’s also a powerful mage committed to obliterating the Bane to avenge the death of his family—even if he must sacrifice both Iolanthe and himself to achieve his goal.

But Titus makes the terrifying mistake of falling in love with the girl who should have been only a means to an end. Now, with the servants of the Bane closing in, he must choose between his mission and her life.

Sherry Thomas’s Website / Facebook / Twitter

Sherry Thomas is one of the most acclaimed romance authors working today. Her books regularly receive starred reviews from trade publications and are frequently found on best-of-the-year lists. She is also a two-time winner of Romance Writers of America’s prestigious RITA® Award.

English is Sherry’s second language—she has come a long way from the days when she made her laborious way through Rosemary Roger’s Sweet Savage Love with an English-Chinese dictionary. She enjoys digging down to the emotional core of stories. And when she is not writing, she thinks about the zen and zaniness of her profession, plays computer games with her sons, and reads as many fabulous books as she can find.

Sherry’s next book, THE BURNING SKY, volume one of her young adult fantasy trilogy, will be available fall 2013.

    So many awesome releases! Like Mel, I’m super pumped for The Burning Sky, since it’s been getting quite a few positive reviews. And Frozen really intrigues me as well, even though the ratings haven’t been too high…

    But eep for Once We Were, 3:59, and Kinslayer! I’m on a book buying ban, otherwise I would’ve bought them. Meh. 🙁 Still, some pretty cool releases this week.

    Looking at this Fresh Batch post makes me realize how behind I am. I still have to read a few books that come out on Tuesday. (blogger fail) The only one that I am really pining for that I don’t have for review or pre-ordered already is 3:59 which has been getting meh reviews, but I still want to read it.

    Yikes, there’s so great looking books going out this week. The only one I plan to buy immediately is The Dream Theives, which i have on preorder.

  10. Pili

    So many good books coming out this next week! BUT I’m the most excited about The Dream Thieves!! If only the mail would work properly and I’ll get it soon!
