AUTHOR TALK & BOOK SIGNING
Marie Lu & Robin LaFevers
Saturday, November 1, 2:30 p.m.
Ages 12 & up
Join in celebrating the book releases of The Young Elites, a new series from Marie Lu, author of the bestselling Legend series, and Mortal Heart, the newest title in Robin LaFevers’ popular His Fair Assassin trilogy.
In the gripping Young Elites, Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood fever. A decade ago, the deadly illness swept through her nation. Most of the infected perished, while many of the children who survived were left with strange markings. Adelina’s black hair turned silver, her lashes went pale, and now she has only a jagged scar where her left eye once was. Her cruel father believes she is a malfetto, an abomination, ruining their family’s good name and standing in the way of their fortune. But some of the fever’s survivors are rumored to possess more than just scars—they are believed to have mysterious and powerful gifts, and though their identities remain secret, they have come to be called the Young Elites.
In Mortal Heart, the powerful conclusion to Robin LaFevers’ bestselling His Fair Assassinstrilogy, Annith has watched her gifted sisters at the convent come and go, carrying out their dark dealings in the name of St. Mortain, patiently awaiting her own turn to serve Death. But her worst fears are realized when she discovers she is being groomed by the abbess as a Seeress, to be forever sequestered in the rock and stone womb of the convent. Feeling sorely betrayed, Annith decides to strike out on her own.
SoCal folks, I am so excited about this Saturday’s event at Children’s Book World. Come out to see Robin and me chat it up!
