Coming Attraction: Stormdancer - Sept

I mentioned in last week's FFO that a Coming Attractions post for Stormdancer was a-comin', and I wasn't lying... And from the reactions on that FFO, I know I'm not the only one eagerly awaiting this.
Make sure to check out this cover reveal from TOR with a breakdown of how this gorgeous cover (our FFO winner) came about (as well as some equeally beautiful/awesome mockups)!

Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff
Fantasy, 336 pages
Expected publication: September 18th 2012 by Thomas Dunne Books
A DYING LAND
The Shima Imperium verges on the brink of environmental collapse; an island nation once rich in tradition and myth, now decimated by clockwork industrialization and the machine-worshipers of the Lotus Guild. The skies are red as blood, the land is choked with toxic pollution, and the great spirit animals that once roamed its wilds have departed forever.


AN IMPOSSIBLE QUEST
The hunters of Shima's imperial court are charged by their Shōgun to capture a thunder tiger – a legendary creature, half-eagle, half-tiger. But any fool knows the beasts have been extinct for more than a century, and the price of failing the Shōgun is death.



A HIDDEN GIFT
Yukiko is a child of the Fox clan, possessed of a talent that if discovered, would see her executed by the Lotus Guild. Accompanying her father on the Shōgun’s hunt, she finds herself stranded: a young woman alone in Shima’s last wilderness, with only a furious, crippled thunder tiger for company. Even though she can hear his thoughts, even though she saved his life, all she knows for certain is he’d rather see her dead than help her.



But together, the pair will form an indomitable friendship, and rise to challenge the might of an empire.
