Updated: Aug 3
Kara Swanson has easily become one of my favorite authors, and I'm so thrilled to help share the brand new cover for her upcoming YA fantasy novel — IGNITE! Fire and ice collide in this thrilling tale of a phoenix girl born with the power of a dying sun. Be one of the first to see the (gorgeous) cover and preorder your copy!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Kara Swanson writes stories about fairytales and fiery souls. She spent her childhood a little like a Lost Girl, running barefoot through lush green jungles which inspired inspired her award-winning Peter Pan retellings, DUST and SHADOW.
She is also the co-founder of the Author Conservatory (authorconservatory.com) where she has the honor of teaching young writers to craft sustainable author careers.
You’ll find Kara with her toes in California sand as a SoCal resident, belting Broadway show tunes on weekend drives to Disneyland with her delightfully-nerdy husband, or chatting about magic and mayhem on Instagram (@karaswansonauthor).
ABOUT IGNITE
Can Mara survive in a world where the fire in her veins is worth killing for?
In a frozen wasteland suffocating beneath a dying sun, Mara is a young phoenix raised by her father to explode at his command. He's the only one who can help her control her fire, and Mara desperately follows his orders to protect their phoenix family from relentless human hunters.
Her sheltered existence is shattered when her family mysteriously vanishes, thrusting Mara into a perilous quest to find them. Along the way, she unravels a devastating truth: her people may not be the innocent victims she's been taught to believe.
When she comes face-to-face with the kindhearted Eli, she begins to wonder if the humans aren't the monsters she's always feared. What if the greatest danger doesn't lie in the icy world outside—but in the truth of who Mara really is?
THE GRAND REVEAL
Isn't it STUNNING?! I absolutely love the contrast of the red and icy blue flame. It captures the heart of this book and what I know about Mara's character so well. I deeply resonate with the themes of sacrifice and learning how to feel safe in your own skin. I cannot wait for this story!
