guys, guys, GUUUUYS.

Title: A Dance with Darkness

Author: Courtney Allison Moulton

Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books

Release date: January 2, 2013

At the end of the fourteenth century, angelic reapers struggle to defend London against a legion of the demonic who have their sights set on claiming human souls and ancient relics for a dark purpose. Madeleine, a young but powerful warrior, is duty-bound to fight the demonic, and she lives for this pursuit above all else. Then, on a routine night of tracking, she is ambushed by a cadre of reapers and, though she defeats them all, she is left wounded and at the mercy of their lord, the notorious Bastian.

Madeleine is astonished when Bastian lets her live. She goes deeper into the world of the demonic and is shocked to meet him again-this powerful reaper whose touch makes her restless and gives her a thrill unlike anything else. When they fall into a dangerous clandestine affair, her head and her heart must wage their war: can their love overcome his demonic nature? Will her dance with darkness burn her or bring Bastian into the light?

With scorching romance and fantastic action, this original novella is a prequel to Courtney Allison Moulton's gripping and epic Angelfire series.

The Angelfire Prequel Novella: A Dance with Darkness

Title: A Dance with Darkness
Author: Courtney Allison Moulton
Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books
Release date: January 2, 2013

There were shadows in this alley that no light touched, and where there was no light, anything could hide.

At the end of the fourteenth century, angelic reapers struggle to defend London against a legion of the demonic who have their sights set on claiming human souls and ancient relics for a dark purpose. Madeleine, a young but powerful warrior, is duty-bound to fight the demonic, and she lives for this pursuit above all else. Then, on a routine night of tracking, she is ambushed by a cadre of reapers and, though she defeats them all, she is left wounded and at the mercy of their lord, the notorious Bastian.

Madeleine is astonished when Bastian lets her live.

When they fall into a dangerous clandestine affair, her head and her heart must wage their war: can their love overcome his demonic nature? Will her dance with darkness burn her or bring Bastian into the light?

With scorching romance and fantastic action, this original novella is a prequel to Courtney Allison Moulton's gripping and epic Angelfire series.

Courtney Allison Moulton on A Dance with Darkness:

I know, right? It has been excruciating to keep this a secret. I've said before how much I'd love to tell Madeleine's and Bastian's story, and I'm still jumping for joy to know my amazing publisher HarperCollins is as excited as I am. ADWD is dark - very dark - and more adult than my other books. It's also blisteringly sexy, so sexy that I'm pretty surprised I got away with this. But it's also heart-wrenching, and if you've read my previous books then you know what becomes of these characters in the end. While ADWD stands on its own quite well, those who have read my previous books will appreciate this story even more.

I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed writing from Madeleine's perspective and I totally have a girl crush on her now. She is badass through and through, and probably the strongest character I've ever written. She's so smart and resourceful - not to mention a little fireball of asskickery - but she learns when to take what she wants and when to make sacrifices for the good of others. Without being too spoilery, her son is a main character in the Angelfire series, and they are so much alike. There are very subtle things here and there that I think may make readers smile, thinking of him. Madeleine lives for battle and for heart-pounding thrills - the most of which she finds in Bastian. Talk about a forbidden affair.

Reap the Tease #1

Every week, I'll post a teaser from Angelfire, Wings of the Wicked, or Shadows in the Silence as we count down the months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds to Shadows's release.

The wait until the next book releases in a series always kills so in my attempt to lessen the wait, I'll post snippets of Shadows to ease the hunger or...make it worse. ;) I'll also post lines from the first two books as well to remind ourselves why we love this series as much as we do.

"It's never too late to start over," he mused. "After eight hundred years, this dog can still learn new tricks."

That made me smile a little, but it vanished as quickly as it had appeared. "I wish the same had been true for Bastian. There had to have been something good in him." I remembered what he had said to Will—that he loved Will's mother, Madeleine. If he could love, could feel true love, then there was hope that he could've changed. But now it was too late to save him, and considering what could have been only weighed on my heart even more.

Title: Shadows in the Silence

Author: Courtney Allison Moulton

Publisher: HarperCollins / Katherine Tegen Books

Release Date: January 31st, 2013

Your strength in heart and hand will fall. . . .

Ellie knows that the darkest moments are still to come, and she has everything to fight for:

She must fight for Will.

The demonic have resorted to their cruelest weapons to put Will in mortal danger, and Ellie makes an unlikely alliance to save him and to stop Lilith and Sammael, who seek to drown the world in blood and tear a hole into Heaven.

She must fight for humanity.

As the armies of Hell rise and gather for the looming End of Days, Ellie and her band of allies travel to the world’s darkest and most ancient regions in her quest to come into her full glory as the archangel Gabriel.

And Ellie must save herself.

Her humanity withers beneath the weight of her cold archangel power, but Ellie must hold tight to who she is and who she loves as she prepares for the ultimate battle for Heaven and Earth.

In this final installment in the Angelfire trilogy, Courtney Allison Moulton brings her dark world of epic battles and blistering romance to a blazing bright conclusion.
