Preorder incentives for the special edition of The Darkness Within Us

I’m excited to open the preorder campaign for THE DARKNESS WITHIN US! This only applies if you order the US sprayed edge edition as shown in the picture.

United States and Canada (minus Quebec): Submit your receipt to this link. This is a separate link to the Shadows link. If you’ve preordered both books, you must submit both receipts to their corresponding links to receive the incentives.

Internationals and Quebec: Send an email to TriciaLevenseller@gmail.com with your proof of purchase and your address exactly as it should appear on an envelope. If you’ve already sent me your preorder receipt with the Shadows incentive, you don’t need to do anything. I’ve already got your proof of purchase. If you preordered both books, but have only sent me your receipt for Shadows, please reply to your original email to include your Darkness receipt as well. If you’re only preordering Darkness and haven’t sent me your receipt yet, follow the steps above.

Thanks all!

Cover Reveal: THE DARKNESS WITHIN US

I’m so excited to share the cover for my next Slytherin romance, THE DARKNESS WITHIN US. This is another standalone fantasy set in the world of THE SHADOWS BETWEEN US, available for preorder wherever books are sold! It releases July 2024. Here’s what it’s about:

Chrysantha Stathos has won.

By hiding her intelligence and ambition behind the mask of a beautiful air-headed girl, she has become a wealthy duchess. And, once her elderly husband dies, she will have all the freedom, money, and safety she’s ever wanted.

Or so she thought.

A man claiming to be the estranged grandson of Chrysantha’s lecherous late husband has turned up to steal her inheritance. To make matters worse, her little sister is going to be queen and is rubbing it in her face.

Chrysantha decides that the only thing to do is upstage Alessandra at her own wedding. And as for this grandson, he has to go. Never mind that he’s extremely handsome and secretive with mysterious powers . . . No, Chrysantha wants Eryx Demos dead, and in the end, a Stathos girl always gets what she wants.

New Covers for the Daughter of the Pirate King duology

So excited to share that the Daughter of the Pirate King duology is getting a new look!

I’m very excited about these new special editions, which will include sprayed edges, a ribbon bookmark, a case stamp, and bonus material in the back! Preorder book 1 here and book 2 here. These will release in June and July, respectively.

I know a lot of you are curious about why we’re changing the look of the series. The best answer I can give is that I feel these new covers are a better representation of the words inside. They convey the upper YA feel that this series has. Also, the original covers weren’t receiving a lot of love from readers, so we’re super excited to reveal these.

My next book, Vengeance of the Pirate Queen, releases next year, and it will have a cover that matches this design. It too will have a special edition with sprayed edges and everything else. We’ll announce that reveal early next year when the preorder links are live!

MASTER OF IRON and BLADE OF SECRETS Preorder Campaign

Hi Friends!

The preorder campaign for MASTER OF IRON is live! Please read below carefully before doing anything!

First off, anyone (including international readers) who would like to preorder a signed and personalized edition of the book (and any of my past books) may do so from my local indie, The Printed Garden. Simply send an email to Aaron at ACance64@msn.com and he will let you know pricing and whatnot.

US and Canada readers (excluding Quebec): submit your receipts to receive the necklace, a signed bookplate, and the surprise item from phase 2, which we will announce next month! If you want to be eligible for the necklace pendant, you must submit your receipts before 6/28! Once phase 2 goes live, you will only be able to qualify for that item. Don’t forget the paperback preorder campaign for BLADE OF SECRETS is happening simultaneously (more info below). Be sure to submit your receipts for that here.

International readers: I’m sorry to say I cannot afford to send you all necklaces, but I would like to offer you something for preordering the book! Send your preorder receipts to my email ( TriciaLevenseller@gmail.com ) to receive a signed bookplate and bookmark. If you preorder the paperback of BLADE OF SECRETS (or purchase the hardback) as well, I’m happy to also send you a special bookplate for that book. Additionally, you may request up to four more bookplates for any past books of mine you may own. Be sure to put your full bookplate request in one single email with the proof of purchase of MASTER OF IRON. Along with your request, please include your full address EXACTLY as it should appear on an envelop.

Now for the BLADE OF SECRETS paperback preorder campaign!

If you missed out on the hardback preorder campaign last year for BLADE OF SECRETS, you can still get your hands on this gorgeous art print this year by preordering the paperback! US and Canada readers submit your receipts here. International readers, I will send you a matching bookplate with your purchase!

Feel free to message me ( TriciaLevenseller@gmail.com ) with any questions, and thank you so much for all your support with this series.

Book Deal News!

I’m so excited to share that I have sold another book to my amazing publisher! I am returning to the Daughter of the Pirate King world with a companion novel! Here is the official announcement:

Holly West at Feiwel & Friends has acquired Tricia Levenseller’s VENGEANCE OF THE PIRATE QUEEN. Full of action and romance, this companion novel to her acclaimed Daughter of the Pirate King series is best described as Pirates of the Caribbean meets The Mummy. When assassin Sorinda is ordered by Pirate Queen Alosa to investigate a missing ship with navigator Kearan, what started as a rescue mission quickly becomes a fight to save the world, as they accidentally awaken the King of the Undersea. Publication is set for summer 2023; Rachel Brooks at BookEnds negotiated world rights.

Some FAQs about the announcement:

Is this a standalone? Yes.

Can it be read without having read your other pirate books? Yes, but I think you’ll enjoy it more if you have read the Daughter of the Pirate King duology.

Are Alosa and Riden in the book? They’ll probably have brief cameo appearances.

What about Roslyn and Enwen? Niridia and Mandsy? For spoiler reasons, I can’t tell you that!

Wait, I thought the SHADOWS companion novel was coming out in summer 2023? It was. The sales team has made some adjustments. My new publication schedule is as follows:

Summer 2022: Master of Iron
Summer 2023: Vengeance of the Pirate Queen
Summer 2024: The Darkness within Us
Summer 2025: Trilogy book 1
Winter 2026: Trilogy book 2
Summer 2026: Trilogy book 3
