BOOR: Carving Shadows into Gold by Brigid Kemmerer

When the advance reader copy of Carving Shadows into Gold by Brigid Kemmerer landed in my mailbox I was literally so so excited! If there is one YA fantasy author (or series) I can stand behind with all my chest, it’s Brigid Kemmerer! I absolute adore her writing, it’s very accessible fantasy in my opinion, and going from reading almost all fantasy to mostly queer contemporary, as I read more and more, Brigid is an author I can always make room for on my shelf. I am so excited for this next installment in the Forging Silver into Stars spin off series of New York Times bestselling A Curse So Dark and Lonely hitting shelves on January 28th 2025! If you preorder you can submit to receive a page overlay artwork from Bloomsbury (see embedded Instagram below)! You can also preorder a signed/personalized copy from Park Books!

Dangerous magic. Fateful choices. Broken promises. The spellbinding series by New York Times bestselling author Brigid Kemmerer continues.

The King's Courier Tycho has made a treacherous bargain. Now beholden to the magical scraver who saved King Gray's life, one false move could end everything.
Jax escaped his life in Briarlock and traveled with Tycho to Emberfall. But life outside his small village brings unexpected challenges--and unlikely adversaries.

After years of hating the royal family and their magic, Callyn never expected to be at the Queen's side, with magic on her fingertips. But at the royal court, she can't trust anyone--including the man she thought she loved.

Cast apart, Tycho, Jax, and Callyn must learn to wield the magic that is dividing their kingdom. As the magical scravers attack from the north and the king's rivals gain strength, time is running out.

War is looming. Love is tested. And magic could be the only answer. . .
