Shadow and Bone's colors and black, red, gray, and even a little silver. I just kind of pictured Siege and Storm's cover to be the same except with not red but blue and maybe even a little bit of gold for the Storm part of the title. (Maybe Alina as well)A
I haven’t seen the colors yet, just a simple sketch, but I think blue and gold would be beautiful. The ARC won’t have the official cover. Not sure when we’ll get to release it!

No, this pic has nothing to do with the cover, but I thought it was Squalleriffic.
Okay, lovelies, tell your friends! Warn the villagers! Siege and Storm (Book 2 of the Grisha Trilogy) is now available for pre-order and that means I’m free to share the official blurb and release date.
Trumpets!
Confetti!
Gladiator choreo!
Here it is:
Darkness never dies.
Hunted across the True Sea, haunted by the lives she took on the Fold, Alina must try to make a life with Mal in an unfamiliar land, while keeping her identity as the Sun Summoner a secret. But she can’t outrun her past or her destiny for long.
The Darkling has emerged from the Shadow Fold with a terrifying new power and a dangerous plan that will test the very boundaries of the natural world. With the help of a notorious privateer, Alina returns to the country she abandoned, determined to fight the forces gathering against Ravka. But as her power grows, Alina slips deeper into the Darkling’s game of forbidden magic, and farther away from Mal. Somehow, she will have to choose between her country, her power, and the love she always thought would guide her—or risk losing everything to the oncoming storm.
Coming June 4, 2013 from Macmillan/Holt. But you can bet I’ll be giving away some ARCs before then. Add it on Goodreads, won’t you?
I can also tell you that the ARC will NOT have the official cover. We’re going to wait to release that for a bit. Cuz we’re like that. Ornery.
Also, don’t forget, the second leg of Fierce Reads 2 kicks off tomorrow, so come out and see me!

“They say Grisha girls can put spells on you…”
A song...
“They say Grisha girls can put spells on you…”
A song for Mal and Zoya.
Aqualung - Strange & Beautiful (I’ll Put A Spell On You)
I’ve been watching your world from afar,
I’ve been trying to be where you are,
And I’ve been secretly falling apart, unseen.
To me, you’re strange and you’re beautiful,
You’d be so perfect with me but you just can’t see,
You turn every head but you don’t see me.
I’ll put a spell on you,
You’ll fall asleep and I’ll put a spell on you.
And when I wake you,
I’ll be the first thing you see,
And you’ll realize that you love me.
Yeah…
Yeah…
Sometimes, the last thing you want comes in first,
Sometimes, the first thing you want never comes,
And I know, that waiting is all you can do,
Sometimes…
I’ll put a spell on you,
You’ll fall asleep,
I’ll put a spell on you,
And when I wake you,
I’ll be the first thing you see,
And you’ll realize that you love me.
I’ll put a spell on you,
You’ll fall asleep ‘cos I’ll put a spell on you,
And when I wake you,
I’ll be the first thing you see,
And you’ll realize that you love me, yeah…
Yeah…
Yeah…
Yeah…
Yeah…
Gorgeous. And… unexpected.

“…she could ride with Gendry and be an outlaw, like Wenda the White Fawn in the songs. But that was just stupid, like something Sansa might dream.”
HA! Much love to Jennifer Thomas for sending this my way. Truer...
