Today Tiffany Truitt and
Entangled Teen are revealing the final cover for The Lost Souls Trilogy,
CREATORS. Along with an exclusive excerpt and a pre-order giveaway that Tiffany
has set up on her blog!
On to the reveal!
Blurb:
Heartbroken but more
determined than ever after a tense showdown in the woods, sixteen-year-old Tess
once again returns to the safety of her community of Isolationists. Bolstered by
new alliances and desperate to protect those she loves, this time she knows she
can return stronger and more powerful than ever to take back what is hers.
As she trains in combat
and grows more confident, Tess receives beautiful letters penned by her forbidden
love, the chosen one James, from his prison in Templeton. He is now serving as
a bodyguard to the creators—the team of scientists who created artificial life
in the first place. And what he has discovered about the true origin of the
illness that halted natural life could change everything.
Enemy will become ally
and death will bring new hope in this stunning conclusion to Tiffany Truitt’s
epic Lost Souls trilogy.
Exclusive Excerpt!
I thought
of the morning when we lay with each other, curled against one another, never
beginning and never ending. How we’d stayed like that till the sun began to
rise.
James had
reached down and pulled me off the ground. He wore a satisfied grin on his
face. “Someone is mighty proud of himself,” I teased.
He laughed.
It bounced through the forest, calling it awake. Readying it for the day. “I’m
just insanely happy.”
I stood on
the tips of my toes and kissed him gently on his scar. “I’m insanely happy
too,” I whispered.
James
looked down at me, and I was lost all over again. I would never tire of looking
into those mismatched eyes. They didn’t make him different. They made him him.
He chuckled as he reached over and pulled a leaf from my tangled hair. “They’ll
know just by looking at you that we’ve been up to no good.”
“No good?”
I purred. “I thought it was very, very good.”
James
growled and lifted me into the air. I wrapped my legs around his waist as he
pressed his lips hungrily against mine. I moved my hands to his hair, curling
my fingers into it, attaching myself to him. I never wanted to let go. Every
part of me ached to be touched by him, and every part of me ached to touch him
right back.
“Do you
know how much I love you?” he breathed into the base of my neck. His lips
fluttered against my skin.
I nodded,
kissing the top of his head. “As much as I love you.”
James
slowly put my feet back on the ground. He cradled my face in his hands. “That
will never change. No matter what.”
I looked
deep into his eyes. “I know.” Because I did. It was one of life’s few
assurances. I would always love James.
I pressed
my lips once again to his scar. “I adore this scar,” I whispered, unable to
hide the smile that seemed etched on my face all morning.
“You’re
enough to drive a man crazy,” he said The tremble of his voice caused my toes
to curl. I wanted him again. And again. And again.
My fingers
traced the waist of his pants. “Tonight?” I said, knowing full well it was a
promise that I probably wouldn’t be able to keep.
James
grabbed my hand and brought it to his lips. “Tonight,” he echoed.
As the sun
climb higher into the sky, I knew our moment was coming to an end. James
reached down and placed his hand over my heart. “Thank you,” he said.
“For what?”
I asked, my voice choked with emotion.
“For
everything.”
As the
memory slipped away, I looked back up at the night sky. Praying and hoping that
James knew how much I wanted to thank him too.
For
everything.
