Saundra Mitchell's The Vespertine Cover Revealed


Saundra Mitchell just revealed the cover of her upcoming book, The Vespertine. It's just so lovely and magical, isn't it??

Here's the synopsis:

The summer of 1889 is the one between childhood and womanhood for Amelia van den Broek-and thankfully, she's not spending it at home in rural Maine. She's been sent to Baltimore to stay with her stylish cousin, Zora, who will show her all the pleasures of city life and help her find a suitable man to marry.

Archery in the park, dazzling balls and hints of forbidden romance-Victorian Baltimore is more exciting than Amelia imagined. But her gaiety is interrupted by disturbing, dreamlike visions she has only at sunset-visions that offer glimpses of the future. Soon, friends and strangers alike call on Amelia to hear her prophecies. Newly dubbed "Maine's Own Mystic", Amelia is suddenly quite in demand.

However, her attraction to Nathaniel, an artist who is decidedly outside of Zora's circle, threatens the new life Amelia is building in Baltimore. This enigmatic young man is keeping secrets of his own- still, Amelia finds herself irrepressibly drawn to him. And while she has no trouble seeing the futures of others, she cannot predict whether Nathaniel will remain in hers.

When one of her darkest visions comes to pass, Amelia's world is thrown into chaos. And those around her begin to wonder if she's not the seer of dark portents, but the cause.
Visions. Chaos. Not the seer, but the cause?? Oh, this is going to be a page-turner!!!

Be sure to check out the Saundra's fun extras: printable bookmarks as well as a view into The Vespertine world: the story, the characters, the music and what Baltimore was like in 1889. So are you ready to enter the world of The Vespertine? Pre-order it now at your favorite bookstore. It's release date is March 2011, which is just around the corner.
