Shadow Heir description!
Summer's in full swing, and I'm one week away from finishing Shadow Heir's first draft. SH is the fourth and last book in the Dark Swan series and winds us through the epic problems Eugenie's gotten herself into. The book comes out in January 2012, and I think it's high time we find out what it's about. I expect we'll see the cover for this in another couple of months.
Note--I can't use enough bold font to emphasize this: if you haven't read the first three books in the series, then you probably shouldn't read the description for Shadow Heir. There are SPOILERS here because it mentions things that happen in previous books, including book #3's rather shocking ending. You've been warned.
SHADOW HEIR
#1 New York Times bestselling author Richelle Mead returns to the Otherworld, a mystic land inextricably linked to our own--and balanced precariously on one woman's desperate courage...
Shaman-for-hire Eugenie Markham strives to keep the mortal realm safe from trespassing entities. But as the Thorn Land's prophecy-haunted queen, there's no refuge for her and her soon-to-be-born-children when a mysterious blight begins to devastate the Otherworld...
The spell-driven source of the blight isn't the only challenge to Eugenie's instincts. Fairy king Dorian is sacrificing everything to help, but Eugenie can't trust the synergy drawing them back together. The uneasy truce between her and her shape shifter ex-lover Kiyo is endangered by secrets he can't--or won't--reveal. And as a formidable force rises to also threaten the human world, Eugenie must use her own cursed fate as a weapon--and risk the ultimate sacrifice...
Ohh, Eugenie. How are you going to get out of this one?

my feelings exactly Shannon!! Its been a great series. I am also a Dorian fan!
What a bummer that we have to wait till next year.Richelle Mead rocks big time!!!
it does suck but Richelle has so many other books finishing and starting this year. I can not wait until the final succubus book I love that series as well and then her Bloodlines books starts. I am so excited about her career and success.
You have the first draft done already! I'm like, speechless. I have to say I don't like Kyo I went back 3x in an attempt to see if there was the slightest chance that Dorian was the father. I can't wait for Shadow Heir! Richelle Mead is a genius in writing these stories!
so sad it's the end but can't wait for it to come out
I didn't realize the succubus series will also be ending! Love georgie, will miss those characters too.
i'm only 2 book into that so I'm good there
heck yes, I adore Dorian also!!!!! I also can't wait for this book :D
