***This giveaway is now closed!***
Ooh, a new book . . .
As you may know, this coming Thursday, 15th August, sees the publication of THE RAVEN’S SHADOW in the UK, and shortly thereafter in Australia and New Zealand.
This is the third volume of The Wild Hunt series, and things are heating up. Gair’s back on the mainland with a mission to fulfill. Teia is struggling through the mountain snow, desperate to reach safety before her child is born. As the moons move inexorably towards their conjunction and Ytha’s war band levels its spears at the Empire itself, deception and tragedy await. Actions have consequences, and not all of them can be foreseen.
I don’t know about you, but I’m just a-quiver with excitement.
And look! There’s free stuff!
Because I am immensely proud of this book, and y’all are the nicest bunch of readers, I am also giving away some signed copies of the Gollancz edition. These very ones, in fact:
5 signed, personalised hardbacks, delivered worldwide
To be in with a chance of winning, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post before midnight UK time on 29th August to go into the draw. On the 30th I will select five winners’ names at random.
In the light of the last giveaway, I do have a few things I want to point out. Please note, the Rules of Engagement:
Rules of Engagement
- One entry per person. Duplicate entries will be discarded.
- Winners’ names will be drawn at random, using a random-number generator. Randomly.
- If you leave a comment and it doesn’t appear straight away, that’s because I have to manually authorise comments from email addresses the site doesn’t recognise. It’s nothing personal, I’ve just had all the fake Rolexes, NFL jerseys and Louis Vuitton knock-offs I can stand. Sorry.
- Only comments on this post are eligible. Please don’t ask to be entered via Twitter, Facebook, Reddit or by email because this needs to be fair and simple to administer.
- Please leave a valid email address or I won’t be able to get in touch with you to tell you you’ve won. Make sure it’s an email address you actually check more than once in a blue moon, because if you win and I email you and you don’t respond to said email within a reasonable time (say seven days) I will give the book to someone else.
- The dedication doesn’t have to be to you. It can be your sister, mother-in-law, boss or pet rat – I really don’t mind. I will even post it to another address, if it’s a present for someone. Just don’t ask for gift-wrap as well, because do I look like Amazon to you? Sheesh.
- Yes, I really will ship worldwide. That includes Chile, Burkina Faso and PO boxes on little islands off the coast of Australia. Neither rain, nor snow, nor glom of nit can stay my messengers about their duty.
All clear? Right, off you go then – and good luck!
Just read it! Lucky enough to get my hands on a copy here in the USA. Now, when is book 4?
(also, the beginning surprised me. When I finished Trinity Rising, I was convinced that the sounds Tanith heard were a battle that Gair was in at Gimrael, and she saved him and Aldric died as part of that).
So, about that book 4…….. please write fast.
Glad you enjoyed it! Book 4 is due out in the UK in October, but it’ll probably be early 2015 before Tor releases it in the USA.
That’s really interesting! It never occurred to me that someone would make a connection between those scenes and in that way. This is why I love getting feedback from readers: they pick up on the most amazing things.
Here we go again lol. I am going to be late for work today ,I really need to learn more computer skills .please consider me for your book giveaway . I would like it for a special person who introduced me to fantasy writing and to your books in particular .thank you .

It would be great to get a copy. I have all the rest of the books sitting on my TBR-pile waiting to be devoured in a week-long binge.
