Seattle Bound

Hi

This next weekend, I'm honored to be a guest of Mythic Worlds 2016, a convention and masquerade held in Seattle, Washington from February 5th to 7th. I'll be giving a presentation on the world of Thrones & Bones, demonstrating how to play the board game, teaching a writing workshop, and appearing on panels with the other great guests. If you are in the Seattle area, consider coming by, saying hi, and getting a rune-stamped and signed copy of Frostborn and Nightborn! Details here. 

Meanwhile, my publisher, Penguin Random House, now has a page up for Skyborn, the third book in the Thrones and Bones series. It has a high resolution version of the amazing cover by Justin Gerard, as well as the book description. I reproduce these here, because...cool! Skyborn will be out September 6th.

For fans of Lloyd Alexander and Brandon Mull comes the epic conclusion to the acclaimed Thrones and Bones fantasy-adventure trilogy that began with Frostborn.

Find the Horn. Free the City.

The chase continues for the legendary Horns of Osius. Thianna and Karn’s quest to retrieve the horns from those who wish to abuse their power takes them to Thica, an ancient land where two tyrant queens reign supreme and where years earlier Thianna’s mother was labeled a traitor. Soon the two heroes are caught up in an epic battle for control of the kingdom, one that puts their very lives at stake. The only way to overthrow the queens is to beat them at their own game. But with an entire empire against them, how can Karn and Thianna hope to compete—or better yet, survive?

The novel includes instructions for playing the board game the Queen’s Champion, a Thican timeline, and King Herakles Hammerfist’s recipe for the Best Spanakopita Ever.
