***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!
Hi Elspeth,
Your books are amazing! I was at the library a month ago and came across “songs of earth” and also picked up “trinity rising”( I didn’t know trinity rising was the 2 book). I read” songs of earth”in a couple days, it’s one of those books you can’t put down. I was ecstatic to find out I had by chance picked up the second one as well. I read trinity quickly as well and was distraught raven’s shadow was not out yet but congratulations it is today! You are a gifted writer, with your descriptive writing, I get lost in the story. I really look forward to ” Raven’s Shadow”
Well done!
Sarah
Winning this would be awesome, thanks.
I am looking foward to read this book
I’ve meaning to read your books for a while, this would be a great oppurtunity 🙂
And thanks for doing an international giveaway – us non-UK/US readers feel quite neglected at times 🙂
This is my first time hearing about this series. Maybe I’ll win but I’m going to look into the other books right away, I’ve been looking for a great series to read for awhile now.
It seems like a trend developing of great authors giving away copies of books for exposure. I, for one, love this trend, and hope it continues to grow.
Saw this on reddit, looking forward to reading all of your books, they sound beautiful and awesome. Yes, based on their names. Really well chosen. 🙂
Worldwide ship thats pretty rare, count me in.
I’d like to enter as well!
Glom of nit! Squee for authors quoting other books! Your book looks beautiful, and I’d love a shot at a signed copy! Thank you for hosting a giveaway.
Thanks for the contest – looking forward to reading your book (win or lose)!
I am interested in reading your words

Hey, I really like the cover and the book sounds interesting. I love reading new books, so count me in. Thanks for the chance!
I’ve heard about this series on Reddit before but haven’t had time to read new books in a while, looks cool!
I have not read you before so this could be the perfect chance to check out a new author. I hope I win!
Looks good always looking forward to new books to read.
Thank you for for this opportunity!
Would love to win this. Can’t wait to read this one.
Thanks, Elspeth! Good luck with the new book!
I’ll give this a shot, then. Its a shame that I’ll need to buy the first two if I do win. Bummer; I hate buying new books.
Wooo! Who doesn’t like free books? Especially what I fully expect to be a GOOD free book!
Yes, I would like to read one of your books.
Winner winner chicken dinner.
This would be a great addition to my son’s fantasy library.
I would love to read this free book.
Thanks for doing this :).
I have been recently recommended this series and would love to get my hands on the 3rd book! They sound great!
Thanks for this – this would look great next to Songs of the Earth and Trinity Rising on my bookshelf!
