Giveaway! 'The Ruined City' (Paula Brandon)

Thanks to those very generous people at Ballantine Books, I have five copies of Paula Brandon's 'The Ruined City' to give away on the blog. You're probably looking at the flowing dress on the cover and feeling a little dubious here. Lets see if the blurb can change your mind...

Reality is wavering. Soon its delicate balance will shift and an ancient force will return to overwhelm the Veiled Isles. Now those with the arcane talent forge an uneasy alliance in hopes that their combined abilities are enough to avert an eerie catastrophe. Yet it may be too late. The otherworldly change has begun. The streets of the city are rife with chaos, plague, and revolt. And it is here that Jianna Belandor, once a pampered daughter of privilege, returns to face new challenges.

The dead walk the streets. The docile amphibian slaves of humanity have taken up arms. Jianna’s home lies in ruins. Her only happiness resides in her growing attraction to Falaste Rione, a brilliant nomadic physician whose compassion and courage have led him to take dangerous risks. Jianna, stronger and more powerful than she knows, has a role to play in the unfolding destiny of her world. But a wave of madness is sweeping across the land, and time is running out—even for magic.

If you want in (and this competition is for US entrants only...) then you already know what to do. Simply drop me an email (address at the top right hand side of the screen) telling me who you are and what your postal address is. The subject header needs to be 'Ruined City'. I'll do everything else.

I'll let this one run until the 19th of February and will aim to announce the winners as soon as possible afterwards.

Good Luck!
