Crowbars and Covers

So I know this awesome writer. I love everything I’ve ever read of her writing, and I’ve managed to get my hands on a lot, mostly in bits and pieces.

But she has this problem.

I haven’t always been as helpful as I’d like. I’ve tried to talk her through it, but I have this habit of, to quote my housemate, telling people to open the box with the crowbar found inside.

I’ve tried to just beat up her inner weasel, but those things are attached, and it’s hard not to beat up the writer in the process. I’ve plotted (more than once!) to just sneak up to Canada and steal a manuscript or two, kind of a publishing elopement.

Luckily enough, I’m not going to have to. The marvelous Siri Paulson, co-writing with the amazing Kit Campbell (who has not said if she had to use actual sticks to poke words out of Siri while working very hard on her own words), has finally created a book she’s going to let you guys read.

Kit Campbell and Siri Paulson? In one book? Lucky, LUCKY, you. And me. I can’t wait to get my hands on the revised version.

Check out this gorgeous cover!

City of Hope and Ruin ebook cover res 96

 

Every night the monsters hunt.

A city that is the whole world: Theosophy and her companions in the City militia do their best to protect the civilians from the monsters, but they keep crawling from the Rift and there’s nowhere to run. Theosophy knows she’ll die fighting. It’s the best kind of death she’s seen, and at least she can save lives in the meantime.

They say the Scarred carve you up while you’re still alive.

A village in the shadow of a forest: Refugees from the border whisper about the oncoming Scarred, but Briony can’t convince her brother to relocate his children to safety. Briony will do anything to protect them. She owes them that much, even if it means turning to forbidden magic.

When Theosophy and Briony accidentally make contact across the boundaries of their worlds, they realize that solutions might finally be within reach. A world beyond the City would give Theosophy’s people an escape, and the City’s warriors could help Briony protect her family from the Scarred. Each woman sees in the other a strength she lacks—and maybe something more.

All they need to do is find a way across the dimensions to each other before their enemies close in.

You can read Theo and Bree’s first meeting here, and preorder the ebook over here. Print copies will be available from Amazon on May 11. Here’s the Goodreads page!

SO. EXCITED.
