Virtual Book Tour + #Giveaway: The Cycle of the Six Moons Series by Adelle Yeung @Adelle_Yeung @GoddessFish
The Starriest Summer:
BLURB:
Fifteen-year-old
Michelle saves the world on a daily basis…with her trusty video game
controller, of course! Naturally, she jumps at the chance to play an
experimental virtual reality game.
The beautiful fantasy
world of Starrs? Check. The power to mold matter? Check. No reset button? Wait,
she didn’t sign up for this!
Turns out Starrs is
really real, and to make matters worse, Michelle’s interference awakens the
Cycle of the Six Moons, a series of devastating trials that will devour the
universe.
Fighting the
apocalypse was way easier when danger stayed on the other side of the screen,
but Michelle finds a secret weapon in her new-found powers. She uses them to
rescue the crown prince of a powerful magic kingdom from their sworn enemies, a
technologically-advanced cult that strives to eradicate magical blood.
Michelle starts to
fall for Prince Jayse, the only one who believes Michelle to be a savior rather
than a curse. But not even video games could prepare her for what the cult has
in store for them…
An Eclipsing Autumn:
BLURB:
Deciding last minute
to stay in Starrs, Michelle continues her epic adventure as Goddess. After all,
learning how to save the world sure beats a year of pre-calculus. With her
friends by her side, Michelle travels to a city of scholars to learn the lore
of the Cycle of the Six Moons.
At first, the exotic
retreat turns romantic, as Michelle spends her free time exchanging sweet
letters with the crown prince, Jayse. But, during her studies, Michelle learns
something that drastically changes her game plan. Powerful blood must be
spilled to end the Cycle…blood that only runs through her veins and the prince
destined to fall in love with her.
During a celebration
honoring their enlightenment, Michelle and Jayse are whisked off to a rogue
city as trophies of a tournament, where only the strongest can claim a taste of
their blood. Gallant as ever, their guardian, Gediyon, enters to prevent harm
to his friends. Unfortunately for the contestants, the Cycle’s latest trial
prevents everyone from waking from a cursed slumber…
EXCERPT:
He pulls up the stone and looks at
it, then steps forward. “It’s
midnight.” Standing a few feet in front
of me, he lifts it from his neck and dangles the chain from both hands.
My heart wants to escape my
chest. I know what he’s going to
do. I watch him expectantly, wondering
if he can hear the drums of my heart. He
looks at me with his gorgeous green eyes, his cheeks tinged pink. Maybe they reflect the red of my own face.
“A few lifetimes ago, Cyal gave this
to Saei to protect her. Now it’s time I
return it to you.” He raises it above my
head as if it’s a crown and slips it around my neck. I catch the stone as it falls over my
chest. It’s still warm.
That was enough excitement for one
night, but then Jayse leans closer and places his cheek against mine. He’s going to kiss me. Oh God, he’s finally going to kiss me!
He doesn’t, and instead whispers
something even sweeter. “Happy birthday,
Michelle.”
Then I burst into tears, cover my
mouth with my hands, and gasp, “How did you know?”
He smiles bashfully, wiping my tears
away. He says, “You told me once.”
He deserves a kiss for this. I’m crying, laughing, and I throw my arms
around him. I don’t kiss him, and go on
bawling, “This is the first time I’ve ever had a birthday without my family.”
“I’m sure they’re celebrating the
day in honor of you.”
I don’t know if they are. Jayse tells me that he hasn’t told anyone else
it’s my birthday, and I want to keep it that way. I don’t want everyone treating me any more
special than they already have.
We don’t stay long at the Inner
Temple, because we need to be well-rested for the performance tomorrow night.
I hold Jayse’s hand while we walk
back to the guest house. I sigh every
now and then, thinking about how perfect his fingers feel intertwined with
mine. He has such a strong grip, but it
doesn’t hurt me. I feel safe.
My parents used to ask me if I felt
any different each birthday. When I was
little, I thought I felt older. Then I
started to lie to make them think I felt special.
Now that I’m sixteen, with the
responsibilities as the Cycle’s Creator, now that I’ve fallen in love, I
definitely feel different. I feel like
another person.
Guest Post:
Do the characters all come to you at the same time or do
some of them come to you as you write?
Before I begin writing the actual
story, I like to write an outline. This
includes a basic idea of the plot, the setting, and characters. When it comes to writing about the
characters, I come up with the names, ages, positions, and relation to the
protagonist. After all, these are the
people that the main character will have to encounter immediately upon
embarking into the story. I like to have
this information before I start writing, so I know how to write their
interactions. The protagonist would
treat someone who used to cheat on spelling tests in elementary school
differently than the hot new barista with the irresistible smile.
However, as the protagonist ventures
further out into the world, they’ll encounter other locations, and I tend to
populate these new places once the protagonist arrives.
So, to answer the question, it’s a
bit of both!
