This one’s going to be a bit interesting in that the book has been out for a couple of years already, but it’s just now coming to the US. So, you guys know what that means, it’s time for a giveaway or Gillian Philip’s Firebrand.
Now, this is a book that’s been compared favorably to The Hunger Games, but the blurb puts me more in mind of something more high fantasy. It’s the end of the sixteenth century and the veil is fading between the mortal world and the land of the Sithe. Not all on the Sithe’s side think that it should be repaired. Enter our protagonists, half-wild Seth and his older brother Conal who has been exiled to the mortal world for an argument with the Queen. Now they find themselves the targets of a witch-hunt and it’s up to Seth to figure a way out of danger.
I’m excited for this one. Because of that, and because Tor is awesome, I’m hosting a giveaway for one copy of Firebrand. As per usual, this is only going to be open to readers in the United States and you’ll need to follow the blog to be eligible to win. Just post a comment about the book or, because of the timeline for it, something about fantasy novel settings.
Giveaway ends Friday the Twenty-second, and may the odds be ever in your favor.


i follow via email and am thrilled this book is coming to the US. Thanks for the giveaway!
Well you have me intrigued. Thank you for sharing about what sounds like an interesting read. I am really happy to see more books from other countries coming here, there have been some great Australian and UK authors I have followed and it has historically been difficult to get hold of their work. Looking forward to Firebrand. I follow with email.

I’d def be interested in another book. Always looking for something new. Not a big fantasy reader, but I did read Hunger Games and enjoyed it- wouldn’t mind reading something similar to it either.
It’s looking pretty low fantasy so far, not a lot of out and out magic, but I’m enjoying it.
Well I enjoyed the books I got last time so I wouldn’t expect anything different with this one.
