“Ruled” Cover

*UPDATE: The story will be released earlier than expected! Now it is due out on Wednesday, September 19th!

“Ruled” (Birthmarked 2.5) a short story that bridges the gap between Prized and Promised, will be released on Tor.com  Wednesday, September 19th, two weeks before the last book in the trilogy.  It’s another glimpse of the Birthmarked world from Leon’s perspective, and it catches the outsider looking in.

Many thanks to Julie Dillon for the cover artwork.

"Ruled" by Caragh M. O'Brien. Cover Art by Julie Dillon. The story goes live 9/25/12.

  • Beautiful cover! So glad to hear that we’ll get another snippit from Leon! I’m so excited about Promised!!! I have a reminder alarm on my iphone for it’s release. 🙂 I actually just re-read Prized last week as a quick refresher.

  • Tanya ~ That is so sweet. You’ve totally made me smile. Thank you!
    All best,
    Caragh

  • Awesome cover! I’m a bit surprised it doesn’t match the others, but I like it. I have a copy of Promised from BEA…should I read Ruled first, or does it matter?

    Either way, looming forward to reading them both! It’s an amazing world you created. 🙂

  • Oh! Will Ruled eventually be available through Amazon for Kindle?

  • Haven’t seen any UK version of PROMISED up for pre-order – did you only sell UK rights to the first two books?

  • Amber ~ I was surprised by the different look, too. This art matches the story very closely. You can read the story or Promised in either order. Chronologically, the story comes first, but I definitely wrote it last, so it was my good-bye to my characters. “Ruled” will be available on Kindle and Nook. At least, that’s the plan!
    All best,

  • Tez ~ So far, we’ve sold only the first two books to the UK. Thanks for your interest. All best,
    Caragh

  • Thanks so much, Caragh! Yes, I’ve been staring at the cover, teasing myself about what it could mean LOL!

  • Amber ~ If you like Leon, Gaia and Peter, I think you’ll like the story.
    All best,
    Caragh

  • Will “ruled” and “tortured” come out on amazon.es? Because I’m from Spain and I can’t download it from amazon.com

    By the way, I loved the books “Birthmarked” and “Prized”. I can’t wait until “Promised” come out!

    PS: Sorry if something is wrong. My English isn’t very advanced. Several things I have to ask my mother.

  • I do not even understand how I stopped up here, however I believed this submit was once good. I do not realize who you might be however certainly you are going to a famous blogger should you aren’t already. Cheers!
