It looks like Kresley will be going on a three book a year schedule, one from each series. The next IAD book will be Uilleam’s story, MacRieve. It has been pushed back from May to July 2nd.
Uilleam MacRieve, a centuries-old Lykae warrior, was captured, caged, and experimented on by a shadowy human order, along with other immortals. During a prison break that devolved into one of the bloodiest massacres in recent history, he escapes. But the aftermath of his unspeakable torture preys on his damaged mind, while the wolf inside him roars for vengeance and carnage. In the days leading up to the full moon, can MacRieve rein in his beast, even when he encounters his mate—a vexingly impossible female unlike anything he’d ever dreamed for himself?

Book two of The Arcana Chronicles, Endless Night, will be released on October 1st.
Evie has now fully come into her powers as the tarot Empress. And Jackson was there to see it all. In the aftermath of killing Arthur, the tarot Alchemist, Evie realizes that a war is brewing between the other teens that, following the apocalypse, have been given powers and its kill or be killed. Things get even more complicated when Evie meets Death, the mysterious, sexy Endless Knight. Somehow the Empress and Death share a romantic history – one that Evie can’t remember, but Death can’t forget. She is drawn to the Endless Knight, but is in love with Jack. Determined to discover why she’s been granted these powers, Evie struggles to accept her place in a prophecy that will either save the world, or completely destroy it.

Book two of the IAD spin-off series, title TBA, will be released on December 5th.
I think his bride will be the queen who had been trapped by the previous king….
It is so hard to say. I know I still want Lothaire and Nixie, but some have been bringing up the idea of the Hag from Rydstrom’s book being the lucky gal. That sounds interesting, too, but I still don’t know who else other than Lothaire would be strong enough to tangle with Nix and come out on top.
Hi Kaleigha!
Just in case you don’t have it yet….
From Kresley Cole on her official FB page as of 5/12/11:
The cat’s out of the bag! Lothaire’s heroine is revealed. Her name is . . . Elizabeth Peirce, and she is the first mortal IAD protagonist, a character we’ve met before, not his original Bride, a being of untold power, and on death row. (And at least one of those statements is false) Which do you think are true? p.s. for those of you who’d wondered if his heroine would be Nix . . . I’ve had her hero picked out from the very beginning of this series (he’s the only one who can handle Nucking Futs). Lothaire and Nix have a surprising history though, and in the future, you’ll see why they could never be more than just friends/enemies
As a matter of fact, several shocking secrets will be revealed in this book . . .
Kresley announced today on FB that she will reveal the cover next week for Lothaire exclusively to people who “like” her FB page
Thanks Amber…Man, I guess I am going to have to get with the times and start hitting the Facebook thing. I have tried to avoid it till now, but looks like it is going to be the go to place now. Thanks again. Now I just have to figure out how to work the darn thing…
I understand why you’d want to avoid it! Lol! Unfortunately, that seems to be the direction authors have gone for getting covers & info to their readers faster.
On a side note, I’m not getting your responses by email like I used to. I have to go to your site to see responses even though I’m checking the “notify me” box…hmmm
Hey Amber. Looks like wordpress played around with a lot of crap behind the scenes…all of the administration and dashboard stuff is just a bit different. Not sure what is going on, since it was normal when I left for work this morning. Might be something where you have to re-submit, or something. Not sure how most of this stuff works.
Thanks Kaleigha…hopefully it will go back to normal soon or I can somehow figure out to fix my subscription to your postings. Just FYI Kresley will do the cover reveal on her FB page @ 9:00 AM (not sure what time zone) on Tuesday, the 24th
she says it’s her favorite cover!
It is very funky…between that and the firefox update crap I did today, it feels like I am trying to fly the damn space shuttle rather than just browse the internet. Getting on the one last frayed nerve I still had today, too.
Looking forward to Lothaire’s cover…that little snippet was just a tease. Thanks for the heads up.
I think Elizabeth could be Kristoff sister unless Emma has a cousin or sister. Lothaire can only take the crown with a mate of royal blood. I think Kristoff will be paired with Furie. Are Lothaire and Nix brother/sister? The plot thickens and January 10th is so far away.
I think you are right about Furie and Kristoff, I think I heard that one before. You know, the idea of a blood relationship brother/sister dynamic for Lothaire and Nix would work, too. Can’t wait, either.
Lothaire says he doesn’t have or know where Furie is so where is she? Amnesia?
I figured that it was Demestriu, rather than Lothaire, who had Furie imprisoned – that would be just a bit too evil for ole Lothaire to pull. Maybe he helps find her in the end, though.
Demestriu said that he let Lothaire handle the Furie situation. It’s going to be interesting to find out.
And you know Lothaire couldn’t have done anything too evil to Furie, since it would be difficult to redeem him as a hero if he had. Definitely very interesting.
So excited for this!!! Just finished the 5 chapters at the end of The Warlord Wants Forever… ahh one more week
So does anyone know who she is planning on writing about next….? I am disgustingly in need of knowing this… cant help it!
I just the email that Lothaire is being sent out soon from the Book Depository, and it made my night.
No clue at all who is next, but for some reason I think it might be Lanthe and Cronos. Of course, that could just be me totally wishing for it, but that is what I am betting on! I wonder if there will be a novella between Lothaire and Shadow’s Claim?
I didn’t even know there was going to be a spin-off until I cam on your site (which I love by the way! You have ALL of my favorite series on here, it makes my life!!!) I doubt that there will be one in between the two just because its being released in the summer… Kresley would seriously have to killing herself to get all that done haha… unless you mean in the timeline of the books in which case I have no idea… But I agree Lanthe should be next!!! Although I wouldn’t mind some Uilleium (cant spell lol) he sounded like he found his lady… I want to know who she is! (by the way… your site has made me WAY to many books to my already to long reading list haha… this is a great site!)
Thanks, Corie! I am always on the hunt for new info, so glad you get some use out of it.
I think we definitely need Lanthe next – no way can we be left hanging after Cronos finally got his, er, claws into her. Wonder if she can command him to heal like she did for Sabine?
Oh, god, the reading lists just get longer, and longer…
Tell me about it!!! There needs to be more time in a day… I can’t keep up!
I spend way more time blogging about books than actually reading them. Sad, really.
Oh NOooo!!! Well I appreciate the blogging haha it does me well!!!!
Thanks, Corie…I am trying to read more, but I think the TBR pile is overwhelming me – either that or I am just a hoarder.
