When she’s not writing, you can find her planning her next beach vacation, beating her boys at Just Dance, or belting out karaoke (from the comfort of her own home). She’s a Virginia girl at heart, but currently resides in a small North Carolina town with her husband, five sons, two dogs, and one leopard gecko.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Told from alternating points of view, the story of Sienna Preston, Trey Winchester, and Zane Ryder continues in this third installment of the thrilling Deception Game series, a sci-fi dystopian saga from best-selling author Kristin Smith.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">*When you can't escape, you hide.*</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">On the run from the government, Sienna and her Fringe companions seek refuge in the primitive Zenith Camp. But navigating the camp isn't easy. It's run by a tough, no-nonsense girl named Paige who has a long, complicated history with Trey. And Sienna's caught right in the middle. Not to mention Sienna is still confused about her lingering feelings for Zane—feelings that are especially useless now that he's returned to Legas to marry his perfect genetic match.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But it turns out Zane has his own set of problems to deal with, and they may force him back on the same path as Sienna, working to uncover a dark government secret. When the government issues a decree that will change the course of history, Sienna and her cohorts are forced out of hiding, ready to resist. Problem is, it may be too late...</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This time, the narrator is quite different from the one we used in all my other titles. It's fitting, considering this book is different from anything I've ever written. We chose a male narrator with a beautiful British accent to really spotlight the old world fairytale atmosphere. </span></div>

The frabjous gift I've been teasing for weeks has been revealed...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As part of my publisher's preorder incentive for <i><a href="http://piquebeyond.com/stain/" target="_blank">Stain</a></i>, I've written a brand new prequel "origin story" about our favorite moth-man, Morpheus! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">These print copies (with gorgeous original cover art) will ONLY be available via this campaign. <b>It's not for sale anywhere, and it's not available online.</b> So if you want to see how Morpheus became the master of mischief who stole the show in the Splintered Series (or if you've never read Splintered and want to meet him before starting the books--the story's spoiler free!) be sure to preorder Stain and follow the instructions you'll find at the link I provided below.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Also included in this gift pack </span><span style="font-size: large;">is a signed bookplate for your copy of Stain, and a beautiful customized gold and purple enamel rose pin. Exclusive only to this campaign, it pays homage to some very unique roses from my gothic fairy tale.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">MADELINE DYER lives on a farm in the southwest of England, where she hangs out with her Shetland ponies and writes young adult books—sometimes, at the same time. She holds a BA Honors degree in English from the University of Exeter, and several presses have published her fiction. Madeline has a strong love for anything dystopian, ghostly, or paranormal, and she can frequently be found exploring wild places. At least one notebook is known to follow her wherever she goes.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">**2017 SIBA Award Winner for Best Dystopian Novel** </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In a world where addiction is encouraged, one girl must fight to stay clean... </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As one of the last Untamed humans left in the world, Seven's life has always been controlled by tight rules. Stay away from the Enhanced. Don't question your leader. And, most importantly, never switch sides--because once you're Enhanced there's no going back. Even if you have become the perfect human being.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But after a disastrous raid on an Enhanced city, Seven soon finds herself in her enemy's power. Realizing it's only a matter of time before she too develops a taste for the chemical augmenters responsible for the erosion of humanity, Seven knows she must act quickly if she's to escape and save her family from the same fate.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Yet, as one of the most powerful Seers that the Untamed and Enhanced have ever known, Seven quickly discovers that she alone holds the key to the survival of only one race. But things aren't clear-cut anymore, and with Seven now questioning the very beliefs she was raised on, she knows she has an important choice to make. One that has two very different outcomes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Seven must choose wisely whose side she joins, for the War of Humanity is underway, and Death never takes kindly to traitors.</span><br />
