Snakeroot (Nightshade Legacy #1)
Author: Andrea Cremer
Genre: YA Fantasy/Paranormal
Release Date: December 10, 2013
Publisher: Philomel
Description:
Picking up right
where BLOODROSE left off, SNAKEROOT follows two characters readers know
well from the original Nightshade trilogy. Adne, one of the Searchers
and Ren's half-sister, is
plagued by nightmares featuring the evil Bosque Mar, now trapped in the
Nether and looking for a way out. Adne's power draws him to her, and
he wants, more than anything, for her to come to the side of dark magic
and free him. Logan Bane, the Keeper who was
once set to rule Calla and Ren's Haldis pack, is one of the few of his
kind left, after he helped Shay close the rift between our world and the
Nether. But he wants to re-open that rift so he can re-create
Guardians and reclaim the Keepers' magic. He raids
the Rowan Estate to find what he needs to perform dark, ancient
rituals, but Bosque Mar has turned his back on Logan for his treachery,
and without his help, Logan is lost. The two teens are both battling
Bosque Mar--one who wants to be left alone, and the
other who wants help.
Music plays a key role in each of my novels. I listen to a lot of indie rock, so that’s what makes up the majority of the Snakeroot
playlist. A few examples: Father John Misty “Hollywood Forever Cemetery
Sings,” Violens, “So Hard to See,” Bat for Lashes
“The Haunted Man,” Beth Orton “Poison Tree.” I also like to have a few
instrumental, atmospheric tracks in the mix. For Snakeroot I listened to
Atlan “Winter Path,” Hauschka “Snow,” Olafur Arnalds “Lost Song,”
Dustin O’Halloran “We Move Lightly.”
When I’m writing a series there are often songs that to the surface and
become signatures for certain moments or particular characters. The
only song that’s done that for Snakeroot surprised me, because it’s an
older song that I hadn’t listened to in a while.
Alanis Morrisette’s “Uninvited” fits the plot of the novel very well.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your music inspiration with us Andrea!
