Deep
in the tunnels and passages of the Grendel mines there is a mystery waiting to
be uncovered – a secret weapon left behind and forgotten to all, but a few. As
the alliances of a once stable country shift and rumors of civil war take rise,
another mystery surfaces: children are disappearing. All over Shalendorf in
every city and every province – young men and women are simply … vanishing. When the parlormaid from the
Manse at Ivorydeep disappears along with two children from Catchfrost, Belin
Vaulatrix is forced to take notice. For even far from Casterwick and the
turmoil of the ruling families, Belin is having some drama of her own. A single
letter sealed with the crest of the royal family has brought her world crashing
down. It is a request she cannot refuse and as the rumors, mystery, and
tensions build, Belin plans a disappearance of her own…

BLURB from Goodreads
Leila Edgewick stands on the brink of disaster; balancing the fate of Bainland and her father’s legacy against a vague, ill-fated prophecy. A meaningless number, a luckless red moon, and worst of all– a star that falls south– send Leila on a quest she does not expect to survive.
Simultaneously, an unknown boy wakes up in the sunken hull of a decrepit cargo ship. Captured and mind-locked, the boy– dubbed “Sam” by the ship’s crew– must escape the infamous Bonesplitter and the dark schemes of one Captain Erastacus Oren. When Leila and Sam's paths cross, fate ties them together, sending them deep into the Ramble in search of the Wasteland Witches. Plagued by Sam's erratic memory and Leila's dubious rationale, they must outwit the Southland drudge hunters and take on the dangers of the Ramble.
Their friendship develops quickly, but as Leila’s quest unravels, Sam’s past is pieced together– and when his identity is finally revealed, Leila must face up to a bloody family history that could rip their friendship apart..

GUEST POST
A LETTER FROM THE AUTHOR
Dear
Readers,
Dark
forces are at work in the seemingly peaceful country of Shalendorf and for
those of you familiar with Ill-fated,
this book will take you back to that same world. To the homeland of Leila’s
mother to be specific – but this is not the sequel you have been waiting for,
and the only character you might recall having previously met, will be the
dastardly villain Captain Erastacus Oren. For in this book Belin, Leila’s
cousin no less, is on an adventure all her own!
Belin Vaulatrix is from the smallest
of Shalendorf’s provinces, tucked high up in the icy Trollboar Mountains. It is
spring and as the first frost blossom pushes up through the snow, Belin begins
to discover her world is not so stable as she once believed, worse than the
rumors of civil war and the mysterious disappearance of children all over Shalendorf,
is a letter requesting Belin to spend the summer in the royal family’s home,
not just a week or two stuck in court, but
the entire summer! She is, as her mother puts it, “the only daughter of
prominence who has been invited.”
As the realization of what this
means begins to sink in, Belin has no choice but to make her escape. The entire
country will have to grow walls if they think she is going to marry that fat,
dullard of a boy Edmond Casterwick! So what to expect? Spies, lies, and
sabotage no less! A secret army, a map lost and scattered, a bad-mannered
ghosthawk, a boy who looks ridiculously good in a uniform … and skyships
galore!
Happy
New Year and good reading to all!
Evelyn
Ink
P.S.
For those of you still waiting for Leila’s adventure to continue, don’t lose
hope and set your sights on the summer months!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
The
plaque on Mrs. Ink’s lawn reads the Edgington Mansion. It was once thought to
be lovely, though now rather decrepit and certainly full of secrets. She lives
here with her husband. He is a philosopher, and said to be quite mad. According
to Mrs. Ink their house is full of books, “Stacked, piled, and always advancing
out and away from the shelves that ought to keep them in.” She paints and
draws, writes and reads, and occasionally goes down into the dark, dismal,
cobweb-creepy dungeon, to do laundry.
Evelyn
Ink is the author of the YA fantasy novels Ill-fated, Silver Tongue, and
the children’s trilogy Sticks, Stones, and Dragon Bones. She was
formally trained to be a parachutist, but found it did not fit her longstanding
desire to avoid heights and thus decided to study the much less vertically
horrifying subject of English Literature.
If
interested, you may choose to follow Mrs. Ink on her blog or check in with her
on facebook. However, due to her absolute terror of electronics and a crippling
phobia of the social media (technical term: Socmephobia), her blog posts tend
to be infrequent and erratic. Also, due to several post exile investigations
she is generally prevented from giving any specific information regarding her
whereabouts...
