kateelliott ) held a LOL cat contest for a free giveaway of the ARC of her newest, upcoming book from Orbit: Cold Magic, the first of a trilogy. Here's a teaser from the Orbit website:
As they approach adulthood, Cat Barahal and her cousin Bee think they understand the society they live in and their place within it. At a select academy they study new airship technologies and the dawning Industrial Revolution, but magical forces still rule. Drawn into a labyrinth of politics involving blood and old feuds, Cat is betrayed by her family and forced to marry a powerful Cold Mage. As she is carried away to live a new life, fresh dangers threaten her every move and secrets form a language she cannot read. At least, not yet.
You can check out more, plus the beautiful cover, here: Orbit book page for Cold Magic
I am so excited, because I'm a big fan of her books. The Crown of Stars series is among my favorite fantasy series. Characters are awesome, the story intricate -- it's just a great reading experience. I'm looking forward to this new series, and now I get to read it before the general public (yes, that would be you!).
And, I never win anything! And now I have. Yay for me. Um, even though my photo-editing skills are about nil, I did manage to caption a really cute picture of my cat sleeping in a packed suitcase.
