(Note on the pre-order date: I set it for a year out just to make sure I don’t feel like I have a deadline breathing down my neck. The plan is to simply bump up the launch date once the book is done, so having it for a year out is just a placeholder).

Thank you for taking this risk with me, and I hope you felt the same magic in these pages that I felt while writing them.

The best is yet to come.

With gratitude, Penelope Bloom

BEHIND THE MAGIC: READER EXCLUSIVES

ENTER THE HIDDEN REALM OF UNBOUND

Join Penelope Bloom's inner circle (does that sound like a cult? Oh well… we’re rolling with it) and receive:

✦ Deleted First Chapter and more – See the original opening chapter of Unbound, a cliffside meeting with Raith, Nessa, and Bastian, and even the discovery of a siphon victim by Nessa and Mireen. All the scenes were deleted and never made it into the final book, but I had a lot of fun breaking them down and explaining my thoughts behind cutting them.

• An alternate opening sequence that takes place in Saltcrest, showing a different version of events where Nessa volunteers to protect her family instead of running from tragedy.

• A cliffside meeting with Raith that ends with Bastian showing up and a near fight

• A version of the story where Nessa and Mireen discover a siphon victim in the water tower after a mysterious warning from Raith.

• My explanations on what I thought about these chapters and why they didn’t make it into the final book.

But wait… there’s more:

• Receive cover reveals before social media

• Get notified when new books are coming first, new pre-orders are available, and any special offers or deals I have in the works.

• Totally awesome perks I haven’t thought of yet, but theoretically could think of at any moment.

JOIN THE UNBOUND COMMUNITY NOW

“Wow! I never thought signing up for an email list would be so life-changing. Now, I wake up every morning wondering if there’s an email from Penelope in my inbox. It’s like Christmas every day.” —Not an actual quote, just trying to give you a totally-not-exaggerated visual of how great joining my mailing list could be.

SNEAK PEAK: UNVEILED

Chapter 1: Unveiled

* * *

"How many people did you kill in your first year?"

The question hangs in the air, spoken by a first-year water aspirant whose name I've already forgotten. Twenty pairs of wide eyes fix on me, waiting. These students survived their elemental trial just hours ago, still wearing the stunned expressions of those who've faced death and somehow stumbled away alive.

The question sparks a vivid image in my mind.
