BOOK NEWS! Shield of Sparrows #3 is coming March 9th, 2027! This date marks my 10 year publishing anniversary, and when Red Tower tossed it out as a potential release date, I said YES! I can’t think of a better way to celebrate 10 years of books than with the conclusion of this trilogy and Odessa’s story. Preorder links for the Deluxe Edition Hardcover are available now on Barnes & Noble and Amazon (both US & UK.) As always, lock in those preorders to ensure you get the Deluxe Edition. When they’re gone, they’re gone. We’ll be revealing the title, cover, edges, blurb, etc. soon. Stay tuned!

RITES OF THE STARLING is coming April 7th! This cover is an absolute dream and so fitting to a story that has consumed me for months. There will be a LIMITED FIRST PRINT RUN with stunning sprayed edges. But just like with Shield of Sparrows, when they’re gone, they’re gone. So lock in those preorders. We are not doing a signed edition with this book. (This author is a bit behind on her to-do list at the moment and didn’t have time to sign a bajillion tip-ins, sorry!) So every retailer will have the same book. Shop where you love to shop! UK readers - Waterstones will have the Deluxe Edition with sprayed edges. (They have a slight color variation from the US edition.) A massive thanks to the incredibly talented @bree.archer and @mayhem_cover_creations for this beautiful design! RITES OF THE STARLING is the epic, heart-pounding sequel to Devney Perry’s #1 New York Times-bestselling SHIELD OF SPARROWS. A princess journeys across a cursed realm to find the truth about her family, only to discover her quest intertwines with the fate of a lost warrior. Love, danger and magic collide in a captivating romantasy. Calandra’s five kingdoms are on the verge of destruction. The crux migration is coming. And in the wake of a devastating attack, I’ve been separated from the man who owns my heart. I’m lost. Terrified. Homesick. Hunted by monsters, driven to exhaustion, and kidnapped by a powerful priest, the only thing keeping me going is the little girl counting on me to keep her safe. It’s my turn to become the Guardian. Our lives change one fateful night. A night of death. A night of monsters. A night of truths. That night, I learn the real meaning of fear—and the depth of my own strength. Everyone wants me to be something I’m not—a queen, a spy, a sacrifice. But what if I embrace my crown? What if the secrets I uncover save our realm? What if my sacrifice means salvation for the man I love? For too long, I’ve feared the monsters we make. It’s time to discover the monster within. #shieldofsparrows #ritesofthestarling #romantasy #devneyperry

THE EDENS are getting new covers! Coming in July, these absolutely STUNNING illustrated editions for The Edens series will be available in the US and Canada. A massive THANK YOU to the incredibly talented @sereneillustrations for giving your heart to this project and bringing these characters to life! These new covers are available for preorder now in the US and will be available July 21st in the US and Canada. (Don’t worry, the old covers aren’t going anywhere. Both cover options will be available going forward.) While you may find these editions in a few stores, your best bet is to order online as these are all indie published by yours truly. P.S. Because this series is published by Penguin Random House in the UK and Australia, unfortunately, I can’t offer them in those markets.

A few favorite quotes from Rites of the Starling. (Sorry about the last one.)
