 Before Kate met Calum in Light of the Moon, Magda met Samuel. Magda cannot stop her heart from running rampant with the beating drum of love. Whenever her eyes find Samuel, she can feel the pull of strings so vividly alive against her heart. But for Magda, love goes against fate; her destiny as a witch forbids her to need anything but the dark binds of magic. Soon, the witch's curse begins to call to Magda. To deny her love for Samuel would be unthinkable, but to defy her destiny would be impossible. Before the curse can consume her, Magda must decide between Samuel and destiny, and her heart may beat too savagely for anyone to stop. The Witch's Curse can be read before or after Light of the Moon.

Here we have teasers from Light of the Moon, The Witch's Curse, The Warrior's Code, and The Enchanter's Fire - the awesome little story from the upcoming Shades of the Stars. In The Enchanter's Fire, you're introduced to a young girl named Lily. She is an enchanter with power over fire. Wild and free, she is learning to control the power she has. Then she meets Shane, a boy with power over ice. But fire and ice cannot mix. And although she wants to, she's afraid if she listens to her heart, she'll lose everything. 

Make sure to check out Lily's story in Shades of the Stars on July 2!

"In The Enchanter's Fire, Lily Woods is a girl on fire. Literally. Her element burns as fierce as her heart, and very few enchanters want to get close to a girl with such radiant power. None except for Shane Spencer, a boy as calm and cool as his icy element. But fire and ice don't mix, and the element Lily burns inside her is growing stronger. Unstoppable. Soon, Lily's fire may be the end of them all. Taking place during the final, pulse-pounding moments of Light of the Moon, The Enchanter's Fire burns with action and romance."

Secret: The last page of The Warrior's Code gives a HUGE hint at a love interest for Zack appearing in Shadow of the Sun (the sequel to Light of the Moon). I won't say who or why, but look for hint. It's there, (hint: "star blinked above") I promise. And it's a BIG kind of love. Who do you think it is?

The Warrior's Code Playlist (OUT TOMORROW)

The Warrior's Code is a story about survival in a dangerous world. It's about finding yourself. Finding a home. Told from Zack's point of view (a character who you meet very briefly in Light of the Moon, and who will have a much larger role in Shadow of the Sun), The Warrior's Code is a story about discovering freedom. To me, this playlist of songs really describes the tone of The Warrior's Code. You'll see that most of these songs are a little "heavier" than the songs I normal post, and I think that's true for the story as well. The Warrior's Code has a lot more action in it than The Witch's Curse or Light of the Moon, and I wanted to showcase that sense of urgency with this playlist.

"Way Away" - Yellowcard

This song, like The Warrior's Code, is about taking control of your own life. Realizing that good things are okay to have, and that bad things don't have to be just because they always were. In a way, "Way Away" is a kind of transition song about attempting to start over. 

"The Great Escape" - Boys Like Girls

Although this song is less serious than the issues dealt with in The Warrior's Code, it is about becoming a free individual. Taking hold of your own destiny. I really love that about this song, and it's something I wanted to showcase in Zack's story.

"Face Down" - The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

In The Warrior's Code, Zack must overcome a lot of hardships based in his past. I actually didn't listen to "Face Down" while writing TWC, but the song fits perfectly with the story. Underneath the surface of Zack's strong, Warrior exterior, there is a troubled, very difficult past. And I really appreciate that this song is about taking control of life instead of letting it control you.

"In The End" - Black Veil Brides

"In The End" isn't the kind of music I usually listen to, but it really fits The Warrior's Code well. There's the sense of finding yourself, staying true to who you are. And I love how this song suggests that only you can tell the story of your life. "Who will tell the story of your life?"

"Stay With Me" - You Me at Six

While listening to "Stay With Me," I actually pictured a different version of the song. Instead of it being, as is, a song from lover to lover, I pictured it as a song from self to self. In TWC, Zack struggles with a lot of internal battles. His past and his future. Who is was and who he wants to be. This song represents how Zack wants to move on, but maybe can't let go.

"This Is War" - Thirty Seconds to Mars

Really. There could not be a more perfect song for The Warrior's Code. 

"It's the moment of truth, and the moment to lie,

The moment to live and the moment to die,

The moment to fight, the moment to fight..."

"False Pretense" - The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

I love how this song takes ownership of things that might be too hard for a lot of us to deal with. The Warrior's Code is about dealing with the hard things in life. Difficult choices. Choices that move you forward if you let them. 

THE WARRIOR'S CODE IS OUT TOMORROW!!

The Warrior's Code cover reveal!

Cover reveal time! I'm so excited to share this new cover with you all. I love it! It fits perfectly into the Legend of the Dreamer series and I love how the colors represent so many details within the story itself. The Warrior's Code is told from the POV of Zack, who you meet briefly in Light of the Moon. Zack plays a huge part in Shadow of the Sun (2013), so I wanted to give this little introduction into his life. The Warrior's Code also showcases Kate, and you get to see the actual journey these two take to become Warriors.

This novella will be out on Tuesday, May 14, 2013. 

I cannot wait for you all to read it! 

Live by the Code. 

Die by the Code.
