NaNoWriMo is in full swing! As I’ve mentioned, the book I’ve been working on is ELIXIR SAVED, a companion novel to my published YA fantasy ELIXIR BOUND. I thought as little treat, I’d share the working blurb (i.e. jacket copy) for the second Elixir book.
The Elixir has a way of entwining the lives of those it saves. Kylene was spared from a painful death by a poisoned spear, Zelenka from a vicious animal attack, and Devon from an incurable childhood illness. Although saved by the Elixir, none were left without scars. After a shocking message from the Higher Beings, each one will embark on a journey. Kylene is sent to the frozen depths of Blanchardwood, Zelenka back to the wilds of Faway Forest, and Devon on a spiritual journey of self-discovery. Three paths that lead to war against an ancient foe where even the Elixir cannot save everyone. They will be pushed to the limits of what they think they can do. It all comes down to how much they are willing to sacrifice with their second chances.
Three lives saved by the Elixir; three lives bound by it. In ELIXIR SAVED, escape back into the world of the Kase family in this much-anticipated follow up to ELIXIR BOUND.
Alrighty, back to the grind for me. Gotta get those 25,000 word finished!
Yay! So glad you’re still hanging in!
Thanks! I’m still a bit behind my daily word goal and I fear I may have grossly underestimated how many words I’ll need to add to finish this draft, but I’ve decided to keep at it. I’ve only been working on it for like 5 years, so it’s really not a big deal if the drafting goes into December! 😉
I love this!!! And can’t wait to read it 🙂 Let me know when you maybe need a beta??
Yay! Hoepfully I’ll need a beta soon…I’ll definitely let you know.
Great^, Katie! This feels like you picked up just where you left off with the first, and with verve!
Thanks for checking it out, Mirka! It’s been such a weird book to write. I love it and have a lot of deep feelings for it, but it’s proving to be so hard to write. It’s like I can’t get over myself and just do it for some reason. I’m hoping all this hype about it will push me to The End.
