Hey Guardians!

Checking in from the writer’s cave, where preparations for the release of Shattered Souls have taken over every waking hour around here. Today, I bring you Shattered Souls art! Look at how beautiful it is. From start to finish, Leah (@the.sketching.hour) did an amazing job. I was in tears when I saw the final product. 😭

This artwork is going on the exclusive edition of Shattered Souls! It’s a bit of spoiler, but I think you can put together what is coming in book three. Lots of highs and lows, and more secrets will be uncovered. One of them is in this piece.

I will have more artwork to share as we get closer to release. Several artists have joined in and I am thrilled. Leah is the main artist for the exclusive edition. She did a piece of Von and Yavi, and we are now working on Lucenna and Klyde. I can’t express to you how I excited I am for all we got planned!

Exclusive Editions

And the news you have all been waiting for: The Shattered Souls box will be up for pre-order on my website next month! And yes, it will be full of so many bookish goodies, plus the usual gold. Prints, bookmarks, candles and a (large) pin. The merch will be curated to the book, and the name for this box is Firelight & Frost. We’re getting glittery blue edges of course, and we will also have a slightly different cover in honor of Cassiel. It will still match the series, though. As with the other exclusives, this one will also come with inverted chapter headers, interior artwork, and a bonus chapter. All the preorder info coming in June’s newsletter!

Shattered Souls will be the only book with a box of goodies. The Divine Blood and Bonded Fate exclusive editions will also make a return, but they will be sold by themselves without any merch. I will have those available for pre-order in July.

What’s Next

Right now, the Shattered Souls ebook is up for pre-order on Amazon. Pre-order before release and receive a free art print! You can fill out the form HERE. Regular hardbacks and paperbacks will be up for pre-order on all available online retailers in July! The reason for the delay is I do not want to risk the books being misprinted again as they were with Bonded Fate. But no worries, The preorder gift will remain available until release day.

Plus, more art reveals next month!

If I could sit down with any character and have a conversation with about life, it would be Rawn. Most of you know he was inspired by Legolas. I was just in awe of his elegant manner, nimbleness, and skills with a bow. I had to recreate that with Rawn, and also bring leadership qualities that inspired others. Many people are curious about him, so we get to learn a bit more about his background.

That is all for now, my lovelies. I will have more fun stuff to share soon. Keep scrolling for a Zev snippet!

As always, stay safe and read good books.

Love,

Beck

They held the stare for a moment before she said, “I would like to see your wolf.”

A faint accent tinged her words. But her voice—it reminded him of crisp nights and the rustle of wind. Of the free wild.

Zev stilled, stunned by the sound and her request. If they considered him a threat now, surely they would if he shifted. But she was watching him with those vibrant eyes. Waiting. And damn if his wolf didn’t bristle with pride. They both knew his form was impressive.

Not looking away, he kicked off his boots and peeled away his tunic. Her gaze immediately dropped to the many scars marking his body. The sign of his chains was gone, but not of the brutal life he lived. An omega was always challenged, and it had been marked by claws and fangs.

Her stare dragged over every inch of him as she took in each scar along his arms, chest, and ridges of his stomach. Then he removed his trousers next. The glide of her eyes slipped to his feet, and ever so slowly, made their way up to his face again. Zev called on his wolf.

An ache passed through his body as his muscles rippled with the shift. His large paws hit the dirt, and he rose to his full height. The pack snarled, some stepping back and others holding their ground. Their alarm barely registered when he was so focused on the sharp rise of her chest. Her scent heightened in his senses and her pupils dilated, mouth parting with a low breath.

After a pause, she walked away.

“You’re right,” she told the beta as she passed him. “He isn’t as big as you. He’s bigger.”
