In haste, because I’m on deadline: WICKED PROBLEMS, the second book of the Craft Wars, has an amazing cover by Goñi Montes. Behold!
A deadly force has been unleashed into the world. With apocalypse on the horizon, a girl and a god have joined in order to turn back the coming end. Young, brash, and desperate, they are willing to destroy anything and everything that stands between them and their goals. The structures of the Craft are theirs to overturn, with billions of lives in the balance. And it is all Tara Abernathy’s fault.
The battle for the world of the Craft is heating up. A dead god will rise. A mountain will fall. Ancient fire will be stolen. And while Tara races to stop Dawn’s plans, the end draws ever closer, skittering across the stars to swallow the world. The Craft Wars enter their second stage in Wicked Problems.
I’m so excited to share this book with y’all. Dead Country kicked us off with a tight, driving story—now the aperture widens. We’ll meet new friends and old, face terrifying enemies, travel to new cities, uncover truths long buried, and if we’re lucky, we’ll survive.
I’m running through the manuscript for line edits right now, feeling the excitement of the host in the last half-hour before a big party. Only, you know, the kind of party where at the end of the night everything’s on fire and guests are swordfighting and someone’s wearing a lampshade for some reason.
Wicked Problems comes out April 9, and unless I’m gravely mistaken you can preorder now—the announcement on Tor.com has links to Amazon, B&N, Apple Books, IndieBound, and Target; I’d link Porter Square but I don’t see a product page there yet, which doesn’t surprise me because there’s not even a page on my website. These things take time!
Back to line edits with me. Happy reading!
yaaaaay so excited for this!
