Danielle L. Jensen Joins Angry Robot Books
Angry Robot Books is delighted to announce the signing of Danielle L. Jensen from Strange Chemistry Books.
Signed from Tamar Rydzinski (Laura Dail Literary Agency, Inc), Danielle’s Malediction Trilogy was Strange Chemistry’s biggest success story and Angry Robot Books is excited to bring Cécile, Tristan and the world of Trollus not only to a new audience but also back to its enthusiastic fans.
Stolen Songbird will be reissued as an Angry Robot title in the coming weeks and Hidden Huntress, the second title in the Malediction Trilogy, will be published in June 2015.
Stolen Songbird is currently in the final for the Best Debut Goodreads Author of 2014 – to vote, click here – and to read an extract of Stolen Songbird, click here.
Danielle L. Jensen: “I am so pleased to be able to continue working with the team who helped Stolen Songbird achieve its success. Behind the scenes, everyone has already plunged back into the world of the trolls – edits are happening, covers are in the works, and I can’t wait for existing and new fans of Cécile and Tristan to read Hidden Huntress in June.”
Mike Underwood: “We’re incredibly pleased to be bringing Danielle’s Malediction Trilogy over to Angry Robot. The first novel, Stolen Songbird, shattered all of our sales expectations and has achieved so much in the months since its release. And with the well-oiled machine of Angry Robot behind the series, even more readers will be able to fall in love with Cécile and her world.”
About Danielle L. Jensen: Danielle was born and raised in Calgary, Canada. At the insistence of the left side of her brain, she graduated in 2003 from the University of Calgary with a bachelor’s degree in finance.
But the right side of her brain has ever been mutinous; and in 2010, it sent her back to school to complete an entirely impractical English literature degree at Mount Royal University and to pursue publication. Much to her satisfaction, the right side shows no sign of relinquishing its domination.

Stolen Songbird
For five centuries, a witch’s curse has bound the trolls to their city beneath the mountain. When Cécile de Troyes is kidnapped and taken beneath the mountain, she realises that the trolls are relying on her to break the curse.
Cécile has only one thing on her mind: escape. But the trolls are clever, fast, and inhumanly strong. She will have to bide her time…
But the more time she spends with the trolls, the more she understands their plight. There is a rebellion brewing. And she just might be the one the trolls were looking for…
Hidden Huntress
Sometimes, one must accomplish the impossible.
Beneath the mountain, the king’s reign of tyranny is absolute; the one troll with the capacity to challenge him is imprisoned for treason. Cécile has escaped the darkness of Trollus, but she learns all too quickly that she is not beyond the reach of the king’s power. Or his manipulation.
Recovered from her injuries, she now lives with her mother in Trianon and graces the opera stage every night. But by day she searches for the witch who has eluded the trolls for five hundred years. Whether she succeeds or fails, the costs to those she cares about will be high.
To find Anushka, she must delve into magic that is both dark and deadly. But the witch is a clever creature. And Cécile might not just be the hunter. She might also be the hunted…

HIDDEN HUNTRESS Snippet!
Maintaining one's dignity while being dragged in chains through the city you'd once been destined to rule, covered in weeks' worth of your own filth, is difficult. That being said, I thought I had managed the deed well enough on the trip between my prison cell and the River Road. Not so on the return voyage. There had been no dignity in my screams; and while the white streaks left behind by my tears of pain might have elicited the pity of some, they certainly earned me no respect. I did not deserve it.
I was the fallen prince. Twice a traitor, having betrayed both my father and my cause in a single moment, ensuring that I would remain an outcast for whatever remained of my life. All for a human girl who I loved above all things, and all, it seemed, for nothing.
