I was only supposed to share two today, but I couldn’t resist introducing my girl Nim. Nim Chaudhary sees the world like no one else. She’s passionate about design and the invisible ways it influences us, also loyal to a fault. Brash and brilliant, Nim may be small but she has the heart of a general.

Remember I mentioned Alia’s uptight older brother?
Since the death of their parents, Jason Keralis has been trying to keep his little sister safe and keep their lives on track. A science genius like his sister, he’s all about being prepared and maintaining control, but it’s tough to prepare for an Amazon princess who isn’t interested in taking orders.

Getting on the road for a few hours, but I thiiiink I’m gonna share one more this afternoon.
Do you have to have a familiarity with Wonder Woman's story before reading your new novel?
Not at all. There are lots of easter eggs for longtime fans, but the book is built for newcomers too—particularly fans of fantasy, mythology, and found family type stories.

Today & tomorrow I’ll be introducing some of the characters from Wonder Woman: Warbringer, my new novel about Diana, Princess of the Amazons before she became the hero we know. (It arrives August 29th and you should pre-order it, yes? And save your receipt because reasons, yes?)
First up: Alia. Alia Keralis thinks she knows who she is—loves science, bad at parties, desperate to escape her overprotective brother’s rules. But what she doesn’t know is that she comes from a line of Warbringers, descendants of Helen of Troy destined to bring about an age of bloodshed. Lots of people want Alia dead—but she has Diana on her side.
WW Warbringer FAQ:
Is this a graphic novel or a novel novel? It’s a novel novel. The gorgeous character art I’m sharing was created by the brilliant @jenbartel. She is magic.
Ok, so what’s the novel novel about? Here’s a link to the official summary. This is the story of Diana at age 17— the only Amazon ever born on Themyscira, the only one of her warrior sisters never tested in battle. It’s about the gods and mortals determined to use a young girl to shape the future of the world. It’s about two girls standing together against the tide of war. Expect badass ladies, Greek mythology, found family, and Diana smacking down bros on the NYC subway.
Hold up, is this a movie novelization? No, this is my take on Diana’s story, her first contact with the mortal world, and the mythology of the Amazons.
So there will be Amazons? Hell yeah. This way to Themyscira.
But what about Steve Trevor? No Steve. (Sorry, Chris Pine. You seem like a swell fella!)
Where can I get it? Pre-order here!
Will there be pre-order swag on offer? Oh yes. Details tomorrow!
More characters coming your way in just a bit.

“After all their mad escapes and close calls, he’d started to believe the six of them were somehow charmed, that his guns, Kaz’s brains, Nina’s wit, Inej’s talent, Wylan’s ingenuity, and Matthias’ strength had made them somehow untouchable.”
The Six of Crows in Watercolor
I’ve been doing a lot of Six of Crows art and posting them on my Instagram account. But since a lot of the fans of Leigh Bardugo’s work are on Tumblr, I decided to bring my art here to share with you guys too! Look closely, they’re watercolor paintings! This blog is just starting out, so I hope you guys help me out a bit. I’m planning to make bookmarks out of these if anyone would be interested to buy them?
Hopefully @lbardugo sees this!!
Oh wow. These are incredible!

“…There was no part of him that was no broken, that had not healed wrong, and there was no part of him that was not stronger for having been broken…”
It’s about time I drew this murder baby. And boy, was it fun. Thank you, @lbardugo, for creating such a babe.

@lbardugo so my little sister and i want to adopt these kittens. i would name the gray one Nikolai because he has a playful and outgoing personality and she would name the black one Kaz because he just seems like a Kaz. we just have to convince our dad (who is a HUGE fan of your books), fingers crossed that he says yes!
DAD. Let them adopt the kittens. You can call your house Catterdam!
