$25 #Giveaway RUIN OF STARS by Linsey Miller @LinseyMiller @SourcebooksFire Ends 9.11 #NerdBlast

August 20, 2018 By Mary

Published by Sourcebooks Fire

SYNOPSIS

As Opal, Sal finally has the power, prestige, and most importantly the ability to hunt the lords who killed their family. But Sal has to figure out who the culprits are before putting them down. Which means trying to ignore the fact that Elise is being kept a virtual prisoner, and that the queen may have ulterior motives.

And the tales coming out of north are baffling. Talk of dark spirits, missing children, and magic abound. As Sal heads north toward their ruined homeland and the lords who destroyed everything, they learn secrets and truths that can’t be ignored.

Praise for MASK OF SHADOWS

“An intriguing world and a fantastically compelling main character make for a can’t-miss debut. Miller’s Mask of Shadows will make you glad you’re not an assassin―and even gladder Sal is.” ―Kiersten White, New York Times bestelling author of And I Darken and Now I Rise

“Compelling and relatable characters, a fascinating world with dangerous magic, and a dash of political intrigue: Mask of Shadows completely delivered. Fantasy fans will love this book.” ―Jodi Meadows, New York Times bestselling coauthor of My Lady Jane

Praise for Mask of Shadows: “Miller’s gritty, lightning-paced debut features a rough-and-tumble yet movingly vulnerable protagonist: Sal is uncompromising in their convictions, and doesn’t hesitate to kill when necessary but wishes to be more than just a weapon of vengeance. A complex but intriguing start to this planned duology.” ―Publishers Weekly

Praise for Mask of Shadows: “This is a memorable, sharply written character. While readers who identify on the G

LGBTQ spectrum may be easy fans as Miller handles Sal’s identity with aplomb, that’s certainly not the only point of note here; the impressive, intricate world building, tense action, and fierce competitors are equally strong.” ―The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

Praise for Mask of Shadows: “Gory, well-plotted, suspenseful on every page, and poised for the sequel.” ―Kirkus

Praise for Mask of Shadows: “This fantasy’s gender-fluid protagonist, Sal Leon, makes Miller’s book worth picking up for diversity’s sake alone. Her treatment of the gender issue is most notable in that it isn’t really an issue… Violent and action-packed, this offering by first-time novelist Miller will circulate.” ―School Library Journal

“Sal’s strong-willed personality and rich emotions create a protagonist who continues to shine” ―Booklist

“Sal is intriguing and their genderfluidity adds depth to their personality. The narrative deals with issues of mystery, self-identity, and revenge. The ending provides a sense of closure, while leaving the door ajar for further adventures.” ―VOYA Magazine

    The question …
    “What matters most?”
    It helps guide my life and my day.

    I try to stick to Philippians 4:8 “whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things.”

  15. Beth T. says

    I suppose I think about our family–which for us includes our five cats and four dogs as well as extended family–and wonder if I’m taking care of everyone properly, looking after all of my responsibilities, doing what matters most…

  16. Mary Songer says

    The Lord, church family, blood family, friends. my own book writing, reading more books, and my job. In that order.

    What do I think about the most?
    I do not think hard on things, I do not dwell or ponder.
    C’est la vie… Forgive or forget (forget is best).
    I focus on making sure my husband, son, parents and I enjoy life to its fullest.
