thebooksmugglers: Cover Reveal & Preorder: The Beatriceid by Kate Elliott (cover by Julie Dillon) Today, we are utterly delighted to share with you the cover for The Beatriceid by Kate Elliott–cover art by Hugo Award winning artist Julie Dillon. About the Story A stunning new short story, written in verse, set in Kate Elliott’s Spiritwalker Universe Before Andevai, the waking of dreaming dragons, the war for Europa, and the cruel treachery of the Wild Hunt, cousins Catherine and Beatrice Hassi Barahal were novice students at the Academy. Here, Cat and Bee learned of mathematics and politics, history and storytelling. But not all stories are told or remembered in the same way–particularly where the tale of Dido and Aeneas, and the fate of Carthage and Rome are concerned. To the victors go the spoils–only this time, it is the gilded-tongued Bee and the quick-footed Cat who will collect the winnings. Set before the start of Cold Magic, The Beatriceid is a brand new, standalone short story written in Iambic Pentameter that reimagines The Aeneid in a feminist, Phonecian light. The Beatriceid will be published officially on December 22, 2015. This title will only be available for purchase–you can buy the DRM-free ebook (EPUB & MOBI) that contains the story, a Q&A, and two essays from the author from all major ebook retail sites for $1.99.
