Of Sea and Stone | Kate Avery Ellison
Expected February
2014
How beautiful is that cover? I'm a sucker for purple fantasy covers, and the dress blowing in the wind is just stunning. (p.s. the cover was designed by the author and it is amazing, so you should all go leave her lovely tweets and things! I love to see my fellow authors doing their own covers, like I do.)
The summary for Of Sea and Stone is as follows:
All her life, clever Aemi has
been a slave in the Village of the Rocks, a place where the sea and sky meet.
She’s heard the stories about the fabled People of the Sea, a people who possess
unimaginable technology who live below the waves in the dark, secret places of
the ocean. But she never dreamed those stories were true.
When a ship
emerges from the ocean and men burn her village, Aemi is captured, and enslaved
below the waves in Itlantis, a world filled with ancient cities of glass and
metal, floating gardens, and wondrous devices that seem to work magic. To make
matters worse, her village nemesis, the stuck-up mayor’s son Nol, was captured
with her, and they are made servants in the same household beneath the
sea.
Desperate to be free, Aemi plots her escape, even going so far as
to work with Nol. But the sea holds more secrets than she realizes, and escape
might not be as simple as leaving…
About the Author:
I've been making up stories since I
was five years old, and now I'm thrilled to be able to do it as a full-time job.
I have an obsession with dark fantasy, dystopian futures, and Pride and
Prejudice-style love stories full of witty banter and sizzling, unspoken
feelings. When I'm not writing, I'm creating digital art, reading funny blogs,
or watching my favorite shows (which include TVD and BSG). I live with my geeky
husband and our two bad cats in Atlanta, GA.
