READ Soul Seekers: Fated chapter 1 and 2 now

Posted By Amy, MKB Marketing on Wednesday 7th Mar 2012
OMG chapter 1 and 2 are now available to read from Alyson Noel's new novel FATED - the first in the Soul Seeker's series coming 22nd May 

Here's Alyson to introduce it for you . . .



Dear Reader,

I can't tell you how excited I am to introduce you to Daire Santos—the gutsy protagonist of my new YA series, THE SOUL SEEKERS, debuting with FATED on 05.22.12!

After ending THE IMMORTALS series with the publication ofEVERLASTING last summer, I was itching to create a new supernatural world with a brand new cast of characters. And since New Mexico has always been one of my favourite places to visit, with its interesting cultural mix, breathtaking landscapes, and mystical legends, I decided to place my story there, in the fictional town of Enchantment.

The world of THE SOUL SEEKERS is brimming with magick, mystery, and, yes—intoxicating romance! And I have to admit that when I first started writing Daire's journey, I was a little jealous of the life she lived—it's filled with just the kind of excitement and glamour I dreamed of as a kid.

As the daughter of a Hollywood make-up artist, Daire's spent her entire life travelling the globe, moving from movie set to movie set. Getting lost in a Moroccan medina, getting kissed on the Pont Neuf in Paris by a young actor destined for the big time—it all seems so exciting on the surface, but after a lifetime of it, all Daire knows is that she's never attended a real school, never enjoyed a real home-cooked meal, never spent a holiday in a place where she could actually speak the language, and she's never stayed in any one place long enough to make a real friend.

But all of that changes on her sixteenth birthday when the visions and dreams that have plagued her in the past, return with a vengeance, and she is sent to live with the grandmother she has never met but who recognizes the signs as Daire's true calling as a Soul Seeker—one who can navigate between the worlds of the living and the dead.

There, on the dusty plains of Enchantment, New Mexico, Daire will make friends, fall madly in love, and confront an enemy so dark, she's not only forced to embrace her fate as a Seeker, along with the sacrifices that go with it, but also to discover if Dace, the boy from her dreams, is her one true love—her fated one—or if he is allied with the enemy she is destined to destroy.

Every six months brings a new Soul Seekers novel, so be on the lookout for Echo, Mystic, and Horizon, in 2012/13!

I've had so much fun creating this world—I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I've enjoyed writing it!

Peace * Joy * Love

Alyson Noël

Normally I steer away from these types of books, but this sounds quite exciting! If and when I spot it on the high street, I'll go buy it, but until then, any other suggestions??

The first thing I noticed when I got Fated was the cover. The bright yellow stood out, and the girl on the front made me immediately intrigued! Having now read Fated, I think the girl on the cover is perfect for Daire – especially the earrings. The start of Fated pulled me in. Daire is the daughter of a travelling make-up artist, who works on various movie sets worldwide. While in Morocco, she has a major breakdown, which terrifies her mother, Jennika. Her grandma offers to help, and seeing no other options, Jennika sends Daire off to live with her. There, she learns the truth about the visions she’s had since childhood, and the importance of who she is. One thing I really liked about this book was that the romance wasn’t the focus. Instead, Daire’s self development and relationship with her grandma are prioritised. The plot was interesting, and there were some really good, unexpected twists that I enjoyed. I love how intensely Alyson Noël describes situations – she is amazing at creating visual images that stick in your mind. It was a really enjoyable read – I can’t wait for the sequel!
