Release Announcement: The Game of Lives by James Dashner

#1 New York Times Bestselling Author  

James Dashner’s Mortality Doctrine series concludes with 

 

Dashner to embark on a 6-city tour in support of the book’s publication. 

"A fitting end to an exceptional trilogy.”—Kirkus Reviews 

Delacorte Press is pleased to announce the publication of THE GAME OF LIVES (On sale November 17, 2015 / $18.99), the final book in New York Times and USA Today bestselling author James Dashner’s The Mortality Doctrine series—an edge-of-your-seat cyber-adventure trilogy that includes The Eye of Minds and The Rule of Thoughts. The book has a first printing of 250,000 copies and is supported by a major marketing and publicity campaign. 

Only weeks ago, sinking into the Sleep was fun, and Michael used to live to game. The VirtNet combined the most cutting-edge technology and the most sophisticated gaming for a full mind-body experience. But now every time Michael sinks, he risks his life, as the VirtNet has become a world of deadly consequences. The Mortality Doctrine—Kaine’s master plan—has nearly been realized, and little by little the line separating the virtual from the real is blurring. If Kaine succeeds, it will mean worldwide cyber domination. And it looks like Michael and his friends are the only ones who can put the monster back in the box—if Michael can figure out who his friends really are. 

The Mortality Doctrine series has been hailed as “an intriguing read for the digital generation” (Kirkus Reviews) and “a gripping page-turner” (BookPage), delivering “an adrenaline rush” (School Library Journal). The series has captivated Dashner fans and became an instant New York Times bestseller. THE GAME OF LIVES is sure to follow suit.

New Release Announcement: The Young Dread by Arwen Elys Dayton

DELACORTE PRESS PUBLISHES THE YOUNG DREAD, AN ORIGINAL E-SHORT FROM AUTHOR ARWEN ELYS DAYTON

Seeker novella delves into Maud’s story and is perfect for sci-fi/fantasy fans

Seeker author Arwen Elys Dayton invites established fans and new readers to delve into the world of the Dreads in her original e-short, THE YOUNG DREAD (Delacorte Press / on sale November 10, 2015 / $1.99), a Seeker novella. Readers first met Maud, the Young Dread, in Dayton’s novel Seeker, hailed as “epic,” “unforgettable,” and “unique,” and are now offered the opportunity to get an inside look at the world Maud hails from in this 100-page, fast-paced story. Priced at $1.99, THE YOUNG DREAD is the perfect read for science fiction/fantasy fans looking for something quick and memorable, and an excerpt from Seeker is included at the end of the story.

    When she’s awake in the world, the Young Dread can hear an enemy approach from a mile away, manipulate a whipsword into a thousand forms, and attack with it faster than the human eye can see.

    And yet the Young Dread is not often awake. She, like the Old and the Middle Dreads, lives outside the stream of time, frozen for vast stretches. She was a child in the 1400s, but she’s alive today, and aged only into a teen. She wakes for short bursts, to observe the training of the families known as Seekers. Past and future intertwine in Seeker traditions—they are the keepers of both ancient knowledge and advanced weapons—and the Dreads must oversee it all, testing their skills, swearing them to loyalty, and ensuring justice.

Master storyteller Arwen Elys Dayton takes readers centuries into the past to follow this ageless Dread’s footsteps. This time, when the Young Dread wakes, things will change. She is about to discover the first threads of a web in which she and so many others will be trapped. A ruthless killer to some, an enigmatic upholder of justice to others, the Young Dread is destined to shape the future in ways she is only beginning to understand.

Look for the paperback edition of Seeker in December, and Traveler, the next novel in the trilogy, in January 2016.

ARWEN ELYS DAYTON spends months doing research for her stories. Her explorations have taken her around the world to places like the Great Pyramid at Giza, Hong Kong and its many islands, and lots of ruined castles in Scotland. She lives with her husband and their three children on the West Coast of the United States. You can visit her at arwendayton.com and follow @arwenelysdayton on Twitter and Instagram.

by USA Today Bestselling Author, Rebecca Hamilton

 

Description:

 

Rose desperately wants to escape the abuse of the father who impregnated her and the dark spirits that haunt her life. Being thrust from Georgia 1961 into the era of Salem’s infamous witch trials isn’t what she had in mind, and now her daughter is left hopelessly out of reach.

The only way to return to her daughter is by facing certain death to banish the dark spirits that plague Salem. If she doesn’t eliminate these dark spirits in time, they will destroy civilization and trap her in this strange new place, ages away from her daughter.

Even if she can complete the task in time to return home to save her daughter, there’s still one problem: she’s falling in love with a man who can’t return with her. Achieving her goals will force her to choose between the only man who has never betrayed her and a daughter she can’t quite remember but will never forget.

A heart-wrenching tale of a mother’s love for her daughter, this romantic paranormal fantasy underlines the depravity of both historical and modern society while capturing the essence of sacrifice and devotion.
