3 BOOK GIVEAWAY!!! CURSE OF THE SPIDER KING

Heads up! I'm giving away three brand-spanking-new, hardcover copies of Curse of the Spider King! What's that? It's a new young adult fantasy book coming out very soon by best-selling author Wayne Thomas Batson and Christopher Hopper. In the vein of Narnia, Lord of the Rings, Eragon, Inkheart, etc.

What's it about?

The Seven succeeding Elven Lords of Allyra were dead, lost in the Siege of Berinfell as babes. At least that's what everyone thought until tremors from a distant world known as Earth, revealed strange signs that Elven blood lived among its peoples. With a glimmer of hope in their hearts, sentinels are sent to see if the signs are true. But theirs is not a lone errand. The ruling warlord of Allyra, the Spider King, has sent his own scouts to hunt down the Seven and finish the job they failed to complete many ages ago.

Now 13-year-olds on the brink of the Age of Reckoning when their Elven gifts will be manifest, discover the unthinkable truth that their adoptive families are not their only kin. With mysterious Sentinels revealing breathtaking secrets of the past, and dark strangers haunting their every move, will the young Elf Lords find the way back to the home of their birth? Worlds and races collide as the forces of good and evil battle. Will anyone escape the Curse of the Spider King?

I entered as well, smart idea!

Jacob R Parker said...

Brandon: Except maybe big menacing spiders with armored warriors on their backs! ;)

Earwen: Thanks so much for posting about it on your blogs! But I'm afraid I can't add an additional entry for each blog. It would definitely be cool if I could fairly reward multiple blog/twitter/facebook posts, but that would complicate matters too much on my end...

Elizabeth: Thanks for posting on your blog, and leaving a link. I should have clarified that leaving a link to your blog in the comments section is NOT required, but feel free to if you so desire. :)
