I am so excited that WOLF BY WOLF by Ryan Graudin releases today and that I get to share the news, along with an awesome giveaway! If you haven’t yet heard about this book yet be sure to check out all the details below. And as always, there's a giveaway at the end of the post, so keep scrolling.
Special intro from the author...
"Once
upon a different time, there was a girl who lived in a kingdom of death. Wolves
howled up her arm. A whole pack of them--made of tattoo ink and pain, memory
and loss. It was the only thing about her that ever stayed the same.
Her story
begins on a train."
And so
begins the story of Yael, a girl who can change her appearance to mimic any
other female. A girl who must win a 20,000 kilometer cross-continental
motorcycle race from Germania to Tokyo so that she can have an audience with
Adolf Hitler. A girl who has every intention of killing him.
Whenever I
describe the premise of WOLF BY WOLF to people, the reactions I get are quite
similar. It's the "are-you-insane-or-are-you-onto-something" face:
dropped jaw, squiggly eyebrows. I must admit, I felt many of those same
feelings when I first started penning Yael's story. Alternate history + sci-fi
+ epic motorcycle journey felt like a strange recipe for a novel. But I pushed
through my fears and kept writing, and I couldn't be happier with the result.
I, for one, don't think I'm insane, but I'll let you, dear reader, come up with
your own conclusion. Happy
reading!"--Ryan Graudin

Code Name
Verity meets Inglourious Basterds in this fast-paced novel from the author of
The Walled City.
The year is
1956, and the Axis powers of the Third Reich and Imperial Japan rule the world.
To commemorate their Great Victory over Britain and Russia, Hitler and Emperor
Hirohito host the Axis Tour: an annual motorcycle race across their conjoined
continents. The victor is awarded an audience with the highly reclusive Adolf
Hitler at the Victor's ball.
Yael, who
escaped from a death camp, has one goal: Win the race and kill Hitler. A
survivor of painful human experimentation, Yael has the power to skinshift and
must complete her mission by impersonating last year's only female victor,
Adele Wolfe. This deception becomes more difficult when Felix, Adele twin's
brother, and Luka, her former love interest, enter the race and watch Yael's
every move. But as Yael begins to get closer to the other competitors, can she
bring herself to be as ruthless as she needs to be to avoid discovery and
complete her mission?
