How to complete your character card collection!
Part of the swag pack for THE BROKEN ONES preorder campaign was three of the eight Malediction Character Cards designed by Erika (@thenocturnalfey). I’ve had some giveaways that have allowed people to complete their collections, but I’ve received quite a few messages from people wanting to know how to get the rest of the cards! After much careful thought, I’ve decided to offer up packages that include five character cards to readers who write an HONEST review of THE BROKEN ONES on a RETAILER SITE (B&N, Indigo, Waterstones, Am*zon, etc. Goodreads is not a retailer site, although it would be awesome if you posted your review there, too).
By honest review, I mean your ACTUAL opinion on THE BROKEN ONES, whether that be a one star review or a five star review. How you rate the book has no impact on whether you will get the character cards, so don’t feel like you need to butter me up

Character Portrait Reveals!
I’m so excited that today is finally here! Not only are the prologue and 1st chapter of THE BROKEN ONES available to read on The YA Book Traveler, you can also head over to Instagram to check out the first character portrait reveal via @pagewithaview, who has kicked off the campaign with the lovely Cécile!
I’ve been working for the past couple months with a super-talented young artist named Erika E., who many of you know as @thenocturnalfey, to design the artwork for character trading cards. The portraits are all original watercolor, and they are GORGEOUS. I met Erika a couple years ago during the HIDDEN HUNTRESS fan art contest and, having seen her watercolors of Cécile and Tristan, I knew I wanted to work with her on this project.
Pénélope, one of the main characters of THE BROKEN ONES, is an artist, and her art features heavily in the novel. For that reason, it was really important to me that the artwork I commissioned be traditional rather than digital. Sometimes that presented us with some challenges, but it was absolutely worth it in the end!
The portraits will be revealed by an amazing group of bookstagrammers over the next couple weeks, and I can’t wait to see the photos they come up with. You can check out the reveals by following the hashtag #maledictioncharacter on Instagram, or you can use the schedule below.
So how do you get your hands on these beauties? By preordering THE BROKEN ONES now! I have only a limited number of character cards printed, and they are exclusively available to those who preorder (details here), although I’ll run a few giveaways after release day for people hoping to complete their collection

THE BROKEN ONES Preorder Campaign
Only three months until THE BROKEN ONES hits shelves!! I am so excited about this novel, and I hope everyone who followed Tristan and Cécile on their journey through the trilogy will be ready to go back in time to read Marc and Pénélope’s story!
As many of you know, preorders are really important as they demonstrate reader interest in a novel to both the publisher and the retailers. As a thank you to readers who have chosen to preorder THE BROKEN ONES, I’m giving away swag packs (while quantities last). This is something I’ve done for prior novels, but this time THERE’S MORE!
I’ve been hard at work with an artist and blogger named Erika, who many of you know as The Nocturnal Fey, to create original portraits of many of my characters. I’m having these portraits printed out on trading cards, and I’ll be including a couple of them in each swag pack! Please keep an eye on social media for the reveal of each image, along with teasers from the novel.
If you have preordered THE BROKEN ONES, please email me proof of purchase (photo, email forward, or scanned image) to authordanielleljensen@gmail.com (there is an auto-response – please check your junk folder if it doesn’t show up) and then PLEASE COMPLETE THIS FORM. If you do not fill out the form and email me proof of purchase, I won’t be able to send you your swag pack

Want to be part of THE BROKEN ONES blog tour?
Hello!! If you are a blogger interested in participating in THE BROKEN ONES blog tour, you’ve come to the right place!
I’ll be doing guest blog posts, interviews, and a super secret guest post for a select number of bloggers with significant Instagram followings. Tour stops do take up a significant amount of time, so I’ll be limiting the number of them that I do. While the size of your following is a factor in whether I choose you, your enthusiasm for my books, whether we’ve worked together before, and your engagement on social media are JUST as important. Enthusiasm > # of followers.
If you are interested in me writing a guest post, I do expect you to provide a topic that you feel will be interesting to your followers and relevant to The Broken Ones. If you are interested in doing an interview, PLEASE PLEASE be original with your questions. I’ve been asked questions like “What inspired you to write a book about trolls” more times than I can count. Original questions get better answers from me!
There will be giveaways!
There will not be paper ARCs, but The Broken Ones will be up on NetGalley (approvals are made by my publisher, not by me)
The tour will take place in April & May.
Thanks so much to everyone who is interested in helping this little novel make a big splash. It’s near and dear to my heart, so I appreciate your enthusiasm more than words can say!

THE BROKEN ONES Cover Reveal & Giveaway!
A prequel to the USA Today bestseller and Goodreads Choice finalist Stolen Songbird (The Malediction Trilogy).
Below Forsaken Mountain, a revolution stirs with the aim to overthrow the tyrant king of Trollus, and Marc is the right hand of its leader. It’s a secret more than one troll would kill to possess, which is why he must keep it from everyone, even the girl he loves.
Since a tragic accident revealed her affliction and ruined her sister’s chance at the throne, Pénélope is an anathema to her father, the Duke d’Angoulême. Deeming her life worthless, he gives her one chance to survive: find proof that the boy she loves is a leader in the sympathizer revolution.
Marc and Pénélope must navigate the complex politics of Trollus, where powers on all sides are intent on using them as pawns, forcing them to risk everything for a chance at a life together.
Except being together might be the greatest risk of all.
RELEASE DATE: June 6, 2017 (Angry Robot)
