Shadow Bound ch 1 (+ giveaway)

It's Monday, so today is the International Edition Giveaway, but first, I have something exciting! Well, I think it's exciting, anyway. Normally, a few months before a new release, I post only the first chapter of that upcoming book. Sometimes only part of the first chapter. But with Shadow Bound less than four months from release, I've just gotten permission to post not just the first, but the first two chapters!

Chapter one, from Kori's perspective, can be found here, in PDF. Later tonight, it should be up on my website, but for now, the direct link is the only way to get there.

[Please note: Shadow Bound, like all three books in the Unbound trilogy, is an adult book. It's not adult, adult, by which I mean that if there was a curtained off section in the book store, the Unbound books would not behind it. But I wrote Shadow Bound for an audience of adults and mature teens, so please don't click the link above expecting to find something similar to Soul Screamers.]

Next Monday (one week from today), I'll post chapter two, which is from Ian's perspective.
