Howdy, everyone!
I’ve been holding off on more updates and wrap-ups so that I wouldn’t bombard you too often, but it’s finally here!
Feast your eyes on Princess Luca Ancier, Queen Regnant of Balladaire, the colonizer we all love to hate and hate to love. It’s another masterpiece from artist Tommy Arnold and designer Lauren Panepinto at Orbit.
Special thanks to Tasha Suri, author of The Jasmine Throne, for saying what we’re all thinking.
Check out the full cover and read the first chapter at io9!
Pre-Order Incentive!
Pre-orders are open, too! (Bookshop.org | US | UK)
As a thank you for pre-ordering, fill in this form to receive some bonus character art from the amazing @gildedruin. You’ll just need to provide your proof of purchase. (There may also be a limited amount of physical art as well, but I’m still working on sourcing that, as shipping is expensive.)
Please tell your friends, buy a couple as gifts, tell your enemies, all that stuff. The more pre-orders we have in the books, the less likely you’ll end up on the wrong side of a paper shortage because they didn’t print enough the first time around.

Finally, here’s me, swinging a sword.
As some of you may know, the fate of Twitter—which is where I do most of my chatting with readers and dropping book news and interview links—is mildly uncertain since it’s under new management. For the time being, I’ll still be there. However, in the interest of posting a sword video every now and then, I did add TikTok to my roster. You can find me there @clclarkwrites.
