Cover blurb for Dawnbreaker (due out September 25, 2009)
"The dawn brings a new terror for the creatures of the night...
Those of her race fear Mira for the lethal fire she bends to her will -- a power unique among nightwalker, both a gift ... and a curse.
The naturi despise Mira for what she is -- as they prepare for the final sacrifice that will destroy the barriers between the worlds. And once the naturi are unchained, blood, chaos, and horror will reign supreme on Earth.
Mira can trust only Danaus, the more-than-mortal vampire slayer, though he is sworn to destroy her kind. And now, as the days approaches when titanic forces will duel under cover of darkness, destiny draws then toward an apocalyptic confrontation at Machu Picchu. But all is not lost, for a wild card has been dealt to them: a rogue enemy princess who can change the balance of power and turn the dread tide."
Enjoy. and may the speculation begin.

"A rogue enemy princess." Whoa.
Hm, well I feel like we are going to see some more of the Daylight Coalition, or at least a mention, but there doesn't seem to be any sort of hint towards that in the blurb.

Rouge enemy princess?
Aurora has a rebellious daughter, maybe? o.o'
Damn, that'd be a twist.
Ah, poor Mira. It's going to be hell for her to go back to Machu Piccu, isn't it?

I'm thinking not so much daughter as sister ... most likely the chick that was chatting up the elders to make the murder deal. maybe.

Yeah i thought about that too carnagsehls, i think the one talking to the elders must be the leader of the rogues so i guess that could be the rogue princess we're talking about in the blurb.
I hope we'll learn more about what happened at Machu Picchu.
ps: Come on you guys reading the boards...come and talk with us! And i know you're there! =) we sure don't bite (much)

Oh, I'll place a guess that Mira will have some kind of flashbacky goodness forced on her in the middle of the fighting, which will somehow give her the key to defeating the big bad. I'm also thinking that just because she thinks she was rescued, doesn't mean that's what really happened. Jabari probably showed up and used her like the tool he thinks she is, but it was actually her power that saved her and just Jabari's knowledge of how to use it. and after the flashbacky goodness, she'll know how to wield her power even better.
at least, that's what I'd do for some good suspense, cause then Jabari and Danaus will have to keep her safe while she's in the past.

Ooooo.... that's some interesting thoughts....
Which remind me that I may have some special deleted scene stuff lying around for this book..... I wrote a prologue for Book 3 that was left on the cutting room floor. I read it months ago at a special reading I gave at Northenrn Kentucky University and completely forgot about it. I'll look into getting it posted to my website within the next week.

ooooooooooooooo ... special deleted scenes??? you know, Melissa Marr did that with stuff from her series at the signing in Dayton ... gave a bunch of special stuff for her books on flash drive wrist bands ... that'd be something neat and special to give fans.
so, do I get to know if I'm even going in the right direction with my thoughts or do I have to wait until Sept???

Special deleted scenes? Un-published prologue? Ohhh yes, yes Santa i've been a good girl all year long *grins*...for the most part. I'm totally in the mood for extra scenes!! Heyyyy!! Are you trying to distract us from finding out the truth about the story? oh I think she is! Let us not be blinded by Too-generous offer to give us extra scenes!  Ahah carnagsehls , she sure is evil, letting us make speculations on the book, trying to think of all the crazy things that could happen... I hope Mira will get her power back... i mean that she'll be strong enough not to get used by the elders again. I'm sure she is more than a tool but doesn't know it yet. I wonder how her relationship with Danaus will evolve...even if they declared truce for now that can't last. Sworn enemies and all that. Maybe Danaus will finally realize Mira is not evil (i know it's hard to see the truth for what it is and not see what you really are yourself). And I do like the flashback Idea! |
