DARKNESS REIGNS UNCHALLENGED.For the villagers on the accursed Island, life has only one meaning—death. Bound to the Island by the curse, the villagers suffer beneath the iron claw of the serpent, daily breathing the poison of his breath and dying to appease his insatiable appetite.When Marya’s parents are slain by the serpent for their belief in a legendary king, she becomes an Outcast. Struggling to survive and avoid the vengeance of the Tribunal, Marya is torn between legend and the harsh reality of the Island. Yet when a forgotten promise springs to life, she cannot help wondering if the old stories might in fact be true. And if they are, will the promise prove stronger than the curse?
I'm so excited for this one! It's been a long time and coming, but I'd say it's well worth the wait! You can find out more on Gillian's blog.

Oh, I like this premise! Thanks for sharing.
Gillian's truly terrific, Meredith. Oh, and here's a description of the cover. A writhing sea serpent rises from the water, hot flame burning in its throat and eyes, embers spilling down into the stormy water. Spikes rise from its coiling spine. It faces a knight. He stands ankle deep in the water, his side to the viewer. He glares the serpent down, his blond hair tossing in the wind. His silver armor gleams, his cloak tosses in the wind, and his sword poises ready...
Gillian Adams has such incredible sounding books. I can't wait to read this!
