This hot mama is Leigh herself. In reality we’d be switched Healer/Heartrender, but I’ve decided to draw the entire Grisha Order in all its glory, so there. (I also like to imagine that our AU Grisha selves switch keftas just to mess with people.)
They tried to destroy him. They left him for dead. (X)
This spec trailer was inspired by Leigh Bardugo’s bestselling novel Shadow and Bone. Ocular Curiosity is a collective of filmmakers and artists working and living in Los Angeles. In making this trailer we wanted to create a fun concept that featured Leigh’s mysterious and seductive character, the Darkling. We hope you enjoy it!

I’m offering these four books on my blog today to win! ”Possess” by Gretchen McNeil, “Shadow and Bone” by Leigh Bardugo, “Legend” by Marie Lu, and “Harbinger” by Sara Wilson Etienne. All signed by the author! Stop by Bookish Whimsy to check it out!

Got my first look at the hardcover of #siegeandstorm and it is so beautiful. Not sure these pics do it justice. Expanded map, raised silver font, the red! I love you, @mackidsbooks #jeanwang #richdeas #shadowandbone
(I’m not sure why the red looks pink, prolly cuz I photographed against the clashing rug, but it’s gloriously, gloriously RED.)

Siege and Storm launch party on June 3rd!
Before I head out on tour, I get to celebrate with friends and readers in my hometown. (And in a gorgeous venue, see above ^.)
Ravkan photobooth! Exclusive swag! General merriment! And of course, booooooks!
Hope to see some of your lovely faces there. RSVPs appreciated (here or on FB) since that helps us figure out how much in the way of books, snacks, and bubbly to stock.
Parking: Valet is $10. Steep, I know. Will try to offer a map of local lots soon.
And if you can’t make it, do come by one of my tour stops this summer.
