Oblivion

One of the most frequent requests that I receive is for more Daemon Black (Lux Series) POV. Flipping POV is harder than it probably looks when you’re pulling a random scene out of a novel and rewriting it when you’re completely disconnected to the whole novel and the character, so I’ve been shying away from POV scenes of late.

But when I can, I like to give the readers what they’re asking for.

Which brings me to what exactly is Project Ovaltine?

Or better known as Oblivion.

Running out of ‘O’ words here.

Many of you have already guessed that it has something to do with the Lux Universe, but what exactly, hasn’t been shared. Today I’m going to tell you a little more about it. Not everything, but enough that I hope many of you will be happy.

Here is the official PM announcement that just went live.

***

NYT bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout’s OBLIVION, a companion novel to the first books in her Lux series told from the POV of the series’ renowned hero, Daemon Black, to Liz Pelletier at Entangled, for publication in December 2015, by Kevan Lyon at Marsal Lyon Literary Agency. UK rights to Hodder & Stoughton, to Konyvmolykepzo in Hungary, to J’ai Lu in France, to Giunti in Italy, to Plataforma Neo in Spain, to Dogan Egmont in Turkey, by Rebecca Mancini at Rights Mix.

What does all of that mean?

1.  Yes, you are getting more of Daemon Black. Oblivion is a companion novel to the Lux Series. At this time, that’s all I can say about what part of the Lux Series you are actually getting ‘cuz that’s how I roll. Actually, you will probably know by May or so.

2. Oblivion will not be a complete rewrite just flipped into his POV. There will be new, never before seen material. And you will also see some of your favorite scenes flipped.

3. Oblivion will be available in the U.S. in digital and exclusive online print. Meaning you will be able to order the print book online from online vendors but you will not be able to purchase it in stores. Doing it this way allows for a quicker release for your guys, which means….

4. Yes, Oblivion is coming out in December of this year!

5. Oblivion has already sold into several countries (six listed above) and there will probably be more coming. How they are printing the book is up to them and I will not know if they are doing print and digital at this time. Best to check with them.

6. There will be something in Oblivion that you really, REALLY want to pay attention to. You will know it when you see it. I promise you that. And I think once you guys see THAT you will also be very happy. Or so I hope. And no, it has nothing to do with the “Note”

I’m thrilled that we’re able to give you guys what you’ve been asking for– more Daemon–and I hope you enjoy Oblivion as much as you’ve enjoyed the rest of the series.

Some other useful information. I think.

If you have no idea who Daemon Black is and why anyone cares about Oblivion, you can read the complete Lux Series now and you can start caring about Oblivion.

Lux Series is as follows:

Digital: Shadows, Obsidian, Onyx, Opal, Origin and Opposition

Print: Lux Beginnings (includes Obsidian & Onyx), Lux Consequences (includes Opal & Origin), and Opposition

Other series information:

The Power, which is the second book in the Titan Series, is set for release on February 23, 2016. Order links and cover reveal will be happening soon.
Torn, the second book in the Wicked trilogy, does not have a set release date at this time. I’ve been waiting on the announcement for Oblivion to talk about Torn. Because I’m only one person with one release schedule, something had to give to make room for Oblivion. What that means is that Torn will either come out in late Fall of this year (maybe November) or it will come out in the beginning of next year (maybe January). I know that’s kind of sucky news, but again, I’m kind of only one person with two hands and one brain. Well, maybe half a brain at this point.
Also, the cover for Every Last Breath will be revealed soon – most likely first week of April so keep an eye out for signs up.
