Southern Sun, Northern Star Pre-order Campaign

| Posted by Joanna Hathaway

I’ve gone back and forth between calling this the Southern Sun, Northern Star Pre-order Campaign or simply the Thank You Campaign, because at this point in the series, I’m just excited to share a small gift of gratitude with each of you! 🙂 You’ve been so wonderful to Glass Alliance and to me, and every purchase of these books means more than you can know. Series are often canceled before they can finish, and I honestly had no illusions about my odds with a super niche story of romantic, military fantasy (what a combo!)… and yet here we are, the final book in hand. The fact that this series exists is truly thanks to each of you—for reading, recommending, and supporting so faithfully!

These gifts are for anyone who pre-orders, including those who are international. Every reader will get one of the beautiful full-colour art cards featured below and one randomly drawn black-and-white series art card (from artist Sun, IG: abitofsunshine).

As well, signed and personalized copies will be available from the always wonderful Red Balloon Bookshop!

Last month, we revealed the cover for the final installment of the Glass Alliance trilogy and   shared an exclusive excerpt of Aurelia’s first chapter. In case you missed it, check out the gorgeous artwork from Marisa Aragón Ware below — as always, it’s absolutely perfect!

And if you’re looking for a taste of what to expect, click here to read the first chapter over at the Tor Teen blog.

Soon enough, it will be next spring and I can’t wait for you to experience Southern Sun, Northern Star on April 20, 2021! 🙂

Announcing the STORM FROM THE EAST Pre-order Campaign

| Posted by Joanna Hathaway

I’ve been sitting on this announcement for a while, and I’m so excited to finally reveal the details! As you know (and I will continue to share again and again and again), I think the Glass Alliance readers are some of the absolute best and I’m so grateful for all of you. I wanted to be able to give each of you a special treat for your continued support and encouragement of this series, whether you live here in the USA or around the world. This gift is for ALL who pre-order! 

And what is this treat?

Well, I’ve heard a rumour on the wind that Storm from the East is a bit of an emotional experience (just a bit), so I’ve decided to offer some exclusive bonus scenes from Dark of the West to help remind us all of the good times. That’s right — if you’ve been wishing for more of the sweet Ali and Athan (and company) moments from the first book, you’re going to get them. They’re all scenes I love dearly and am delighted to finally share with you. And everyone can have access to these digitally!

PLUS, there’s also a Grand Prize winner… I’ve been working on an annotated copy of Dark of the West which includes not only my insight into the characters and the writing of this book, but also stunning sketches done by a talented artist. (Photos below!) That beautiful and exclusive copy will go to one lucky reader, along with a personalized letter from me.  And that is also open international, so everyone who pre-orders and provides a mailing address will be in the running for it.

Click here to fill out the form and enter!

Please upload your proof of purchase to the form and include an email address where I can send the bonus scenes. I will keep this open until Saturday, February 15th at 11:59 pm EST.

Much love to you all! Eyes on the horizon.

You can find all the details here.

Not going to lie, I’ve been counting down the days… It’s going to be an absolute blast!
