Seventeen years ago, an eclipse cloaked the kingdom of Relhok in perpetual darkness. In the chaos, an evil chancellor murdered the king and queen and seized their throne. Luna, Relhok’s lost princess, has been hiding in a tower ever since. Luna’s survival depends on the world believing she is dead.
But that doesn’t stop Luna from wanting more. When she meets Fowler, a mysterious archer braving the woods outside her tower, Luna is drawn to him despite the risk. When the tower is attacked, Luna and Fowler escape together. But this world of darkness is more treacherous than Luna ever realized.
With every threat stacked against them, Luna and Fowler find solace in each other. But with secrets still unspoken between them, falling in love might be their most dangerous journey yet.
With lush writing and a star–crossed romance, Reign of Shadows is Sophie Jordan at her best.
Now on to the interview!
Hi Sophie! First I want to say welcome back to Two Chicks on
Books! I freaking LOVED REIGN OF SHADOWS and I know my readers will as well and
am so happy that you could stop by for a visit!
For the readers:
can you tell us a little bit about REIGN OF SHADOWS and the characters?
Sure! REIGN OF SHADOWS is an epic story told in the POVs of
Luna (a lost princess) and Fowler (sexy badass archer). It's a dark and twisty
fantasy full of adventure and romance (lots of smooch!), monsters, evil kings,
bad guys. You name it, REIGN OF SHADOWS has it. :D
So book 2?
Do we have a title yet? How about a cover?
Oh, wow... I haven't announced it yet, but it's not a secret.
So ... sure, why not? I love the title for book 2! It's ......
RISE OF FIRE
As I was
reading REIGN OF SHADOWS I felt like it was a loose retelling of Rapunzel was
that the idea?
Well, there's a kernel of RAPUNZEL in the story ... mostly at
the beginning. I love the whole notion of "girl-trapped-all-her-life-in-a-tower".
I'm surprised at how many readers are identifying with the idea of it as
retelling though. Mostly because I go so far off the rails from the Rapunzel
fairy tale after the beginning. But, hm, maybe that's the idea of a retelling???
Taking a well-known fairy tale and driving it off the rails?
Who was
your favorite character to write? What about your least favorite?
This book is "shared" between Luna and Fowler. I view
it as their story, so I have to say they are each my favorite characters. I've
never written a dual narrative in a young adult book and I loved it so much! As
for my least favorite that award would have to go to the baddie - King Cullan.
What is
your favorite passage/scene in REIGN OF SHADOWS?
Hm... there is a scene where Luna walks in on a naked Fowler.
That was one of my favorite scenes!
What kind
of research did you have to do for the story?
I researched moles, believe it or not. Since they're
underground creatures like my "monsters", I researched their habits
and how it is they survive/operate underground.
What are
you reading right now?
Right now I'm reading THE HATING GAME by Sally Thorne and it's
unbelievably good.
Who is
your ultimate Book Boyfriend?
Hm. Off the top of my head? Jay from Kimberly Derting's THE
BODY FINDER.
