To celebrate the release of THE SHADOW THRONE next Tuesday (woot!), I’m going to post one quote a day from the book. If you want to read the entire story for yourself, ask now if it will be at your library, or you can find one wherever you shop for books.
If you are a Utah type, there’ll be a launch party on Feb 25th at the King’s English in SLC at 7 pm. You can also check my Events page for other places I’ll be signing (though there aren’t many public appearances this spring, I admit)
Quote 1:
Mott licked his lips and said, “My first duty is to you, Jaron, and I will gladly go in your place. But your first duty is to this country. Not to her.”
That only made me angrier. “Do not lecture me about duty! What else have I done in life but my duty? I disappeared in the name of duty and returned for the same reason, and I will fight this war because it is my duty to do so. No matter how I wished to do otherwise, each time duty presented itself, I answered. But not this time.”

Oh no…which girl? We need to know!
One of `em, for sure.
War is Coming…
Ha! That literally made me laugh out loud. My 14 year old son and my 35..er..25 year old self are anxiously awaiting The Shadow Throne!
Jen please don’t stop worrying these books please I will be the first buyer for all you can’t stop at this section make it like the vs Lewis series please I love these books. Don’t stop worrying them!!!!!
I will tell you this, Gabby – Jaron certainly will never have trouble getting into….well, trouble. And wherever there’s trouble, a story may follow…. 😉
love your books ecpesially mark of the theif and the rise of the wolf and finnaly wrath of te storm
Thank you very much, Noah!
Cannot wait until The Shadow Throne is out! I have reminders set on my phone to remind me for Tuesday so I won’t forget during these next few days when school gets crazy.
Aw, poor Jaron! And Imogen! My fingers are crossed so hard to get my copy. Starting Saturday I’m watching the mail with eagle eyes, just in case Amazon forgets and sends it early. These daily quotes will just whet my appetite! Actually, this may not be good for me . . .
The suspense is killing me!!! I just can not wait to read it this book…!
The book’s not even out yet and Jaron is already messing with my emotions. I think he should win an award for that or something.
This quote just makes me even more excited for the release!
Was honored to read an advance copy. This book is wonderful. I highly recommend!
Thanks much, Jennifet!
Loved this scene. Can’t wait for the book to come out!
FEB 25 SHADOW THROWN OK CANT WAIT …. ok now im mad when dose it come out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am literally dying of suspense as I sit here! I am honestly bringing my kindle to school (I pre-ordered it) and I’m going to read it during class (probably), because I have been waiting SO long to read it, Im sure my teacher will understand…Right?? 🙂
Ok, I won’t read in class, but I will read at lunch and recess. Probably. Only 6 days, 5 hours, 19 minutes, 15 seconds!!! I need to read it!!!!
It’s not long to wait now, Tori! War is Coming…
I think I know that now…
2 days, 11 hours, 59 minutes, 27 seconds left (according to my computer)!
You won’t kill Jaron, will you? Because it says “Fight for the future… Die for the throne” and if Jaron dies, I’m gonna kill him.
Oh wait… that wasn’t logical, was it? 🙂
😉
Do you think that maybe you could make a second series? Like at the same time but maybe from the point of view of someone in a different country or something?
And btw, who said that Imogen isn’t a spy from another country who is plotting to get revenge on Carthya?
Did anyone say that?
I don’t think they did…
I am absolutely BEGGING now, please, please, please, with ice cream and sprinkles and cherries and chocolate cakes on top, please make another book!!!!!!!!!
🙂
PS. please?
Hee-hee – thanks Tori. Nothing’s in the works right now, but anything could change. I’ll announce it here if it does.
OH MY GOSH!!! My friends are going to DIE when I show them this! I would too, but I’ve already been dying for the last couple months! 😉
I died on the 15th, I’m planning my funeral now 🙂
IMOGEN
Sorry for spamming your posts! but i have to catch up!
I read this part in the preview! Love it!!!!!
Hey Jennifer Nielsen, I love this book more than anything in the whole world, I loved it so much, I read the whole series twice every year. It would mean the world to me if you made more books in this series, I absolutely love how you make the reader desperate to know what happens next. Maybe you could write aboht imogens and Jarons childs adventure. Thanksgiving!
I will think about your suggestion – thanks Nihal!
I absolutely love this book thank you Jennifer for writing this me and my friend love it
