***GIVEAWAY IS OVER***
Today Woodencloak is released to the world, though I got notifications from readers that they already received the paperback from Amazon. I was thrilled the books were mailed early. I’ve held a launch of Woodencloak on Instagram with the help of Jessica Gwyn (gwyn.launches.books) who has been incredible with my team. If you’re on Instagram, look for me at dawn_ford_author (use underscores). It’s been a wild ride and I can’t wait to see how everyone reacts to Woodencloak.
Because of Woodencloak’s release, I’m going to do a giveaway to one of my commenters today. Comment something about Woodencloak that has you excited to read it and I will send you a signed copy of Woodencloak along with a bookmark. Here is the back cover copy blurb for you to check out:
Thirteen-year-old troll princess Horra Fyd’s life changes forever after an unexpected visit from the fairy queen and her two daughters. Tales of fairies gave Horra nightmares as a young troll. Before evening falls, however, a real nightmare unfolds. Horra’s father, King Fyd, goes missing. Her woodgoblin instructor is poisoned and uses his magic to revert to a seed. And a mysterious, gaunt man wearing a cape and playing a panflute joins the fairies in trying to capture her.
Horra flees but is instantly lost in a world she’s never had to travel alone. A letter hidden in her knapsack from her late instructor informs her that a power hungry Erlking seeks revenge against her kingdom and their allies for a two-generation old war. She is tasked with getting his seed to the Weald, a magical forest. There it can regenerate into a druid, the only creature with the power to hold the balance between good and evil, and who is able to defeat the Erlking.
However, the Erlking is always one step behind her. Horra must fight to protect herself, but she has no magic. She accepts a gift from a dead druid spirit of a charmed woodencloak to disguise her. But magic failed her mother, how can she possibly trust it?
Can Horra have faith and courage enough to trust a power she can’t see, and become a warrior heroine her foremothers can be proud of? Or will she allow fear to rule over her and lose everything that matters—including her life?
Don’t forget to comment! One lucky person will be the winner of a signed copy!
Cheers!!
