The king Queen sleeps still, under a mountain , and around her is assembled
her warriors and her herds and her riches. By her right hand is his cup,
filled with possibility. On her breast nestles her sword, waiting, too, to wake.
Fortunate is the soul who finds the queen and is brave enough to call her to wakefulness, for the queen will grant her a favour, as wondrous as can be imagined by a mortal woman.

Cover Reveal!
EXCITING NEWS! Forever Young Adult just revealed the stunning cover of FROSTBLOOD by Elly Blake! It went live today on their website, under Hotsy Totsy. FROSTBLOOD is coming January 2017.
Give this a lot of love, we’re so amped about this design!
Seventeen-year-old Ruby is a fireblood who must hide her powers of heat and flame from the cruel frostblood ruling class that wants to destroy all that are left of her kind. So when her mother is killed for protecting her and rebel frostbloods demand her help to kill their rampaging king, she agrees. But Ruby’s powers are unpredictable, and she’s not sure she’s willing to let the rebels and an infuriating (yet irresistible) young man called Arcus use her as their weapon. All she wants is revenge, but before they can take action, Ruby is captured and forced to take part in the king’s tournaments that pit fireblood prisoners against frostblood champions. Now she has only one chance to destroy the maniacal ruler who has taken everything from her and from the icy young man she has come to love.
Fast-paced and compelling, Frostblood is the first in a page-turning new young adult three-book series about a world where flame and ice are mortal enemies—but together create a power that could change everything.

Author Naomi Novik is a world builder. She writes books about dragons, witches and dark woods — and she’s also designed computer games. “I’m an engineer and a writer,” she says, “and I find that those two things are not uncomplimentary.”Weekend Edition’s Ravenna Koenig profiled Novik (whose latest book, Uprooted, was one of our First Reads). Check out the piece here … while I seethe quietly with envy.
