The blurb: Alexia’s nightmares become reality: a dead baron, red-eyed wraiths, and forbidden love with a man hunted by these creatures. After an attack close to home, Alexia realizes she cannot keep one foot in her old life and one in this new world. To protect her family she must either be sold into a loveless marriage, or escape with her beloved and risk becoming one of the Soulless. 

MOONLESS is Jane Eyre meets Supernatural.

And now, it's time to announce the winner of Andrew Leon's Shadow Spinner collection. He shared with us two truths and one lie. Those who guessed correctly were entered into a random drawing for the win. 

The options were: 

1. Andrew likes peanut butter and banana sandwiches.

2. He once mistook a rabbit pellet for chocolate and didn't realize the mistake until it was in his mouth.

3. The closest he's ever been to drunk (actually tipsy) was from drinking Welch's grape juice.

Congrats, Kathryn! 

And now for this week's special feature...

Seventeen-year-old Zelene doesn't believe in magic or prophecies. When she's told she is part of the prophecy foretelling five powerful girls bringing peace to the war-torn worlds, she scoffs. The idea of other dimensions layered on top of the world she lives in is almost as ludicrous as the idea that she might be able to save them. After she is attacked by magic-wielding assassins, she finds she can't argue with reality.

As their enemies strike, the girls are taken back to their world and discover the ties binding them together. Rhaya has always had an uncanny knack for reading people, but can’t seem to unravel the mystery tying her to Isauria, the new friend she bonded with instantly. For years, Isauria has been dreaming of Terrena, a girl living her life on the run in a magical world ripped apart by the tragedies of war, completely unaware that she is psychically linked to the world she was born in.

Zelene views them all with a distrustful eye, familial bonds or no, and can think of a place or two she’d like to shove the crown she supposedly inherited. When she learns that her long-lost twin Ariana has been captured by the rebels, Zelene’s attitude changes. She doesn’t know how she is supposed to go against an army of magic-wielding rebels when her own ability to manipulate the elements is still locked within her. But can she trust the elders to rescue Ariana when it seems their medieval politics are what brought about the war in the first place? With all that is at stake, the answer becomes clear to Zelene.

Screw the worlds. She’s getting her sister back.

You can pick up the book HERE.

Shall we meet the author? 

Mara Valderran has been coming up with stories pretty almost since she could talk, often commandeering her brother's G.I. Joes to play out her fictional tales alongside her Barbies. Once she hit adolescence and realized playing with dolls wasn't cool anymore, she started putting her ideas to paper. And she hasn’t stopped since.

Mara is more than just a madwoman with a writing box. She lives in the south with her husband and demanding cat. She hopes to one day meet Daniel Jackson from SG1, or at least the actor who played him. When she’s not writing, you can find her reading, playing video games, or spending time at her favorite local coffee shop.

Her favorite cheese is White American and she loves to eat it on turkey burgers cooked by her husband while watching something like Stargate or Doctor Who. You can find her on her website. 

Mara gave me two truths and one lie to test your "lie detector" skills. Can you figure out the lie? Those who do will go into my magic hat for a chance to win an ebook of the Heirs of War. Eek! How cool is that? You have until Tuesday, October 1st at 1 p.m. to guess--and be sure to come back for the answer on October 2nd to view the winner!

TRUTH OR LIE

1. If she could go back in time, she would meet Audrey Hepburn.
2. There's something weird growing in the back of her car.
3. Her name is actually Mara Valerran.

Okay human lie detectors, which is the lie? 

(And if that wasn't awesome enough, you have a second chance to win:)
