Lia's Kavah and giveaway!

6/21/2016

61 Comments

 

The final installment of The Remnant Chronicles is almost here!  To celebrate the final book,
The Beauty of Darkness, I wanted to have a fun, creative giveaway. Do you like to draw or doodle? Show me your creative brain! It is all about Lia's kavah . . .

Remember this?


"The others waited in silence for my response. I resisted drawing in a breath. I wouldn't give my mother that satisfaction, but I couldn't deny that my wedding kavah was exquisite. The ugly crest of the Kingdom of Dalbreck had been made startlingly beautiful, the snarling lion tamed on my back, the intricate designs gracefully hemming in his claws."
--Page 7 The Kiss of Deception



<------One of my doodled interpretations                             

First off, I want to clarify. . . this is not Lia's "official" kavah.
     The Remnant Chronicles are stories, and stories are made up of words that create images, so whatever image you imagined, IS what her kavah looks like. I don't own the words, I just put them down. (This applies to book covers too! They are not the final say on what a character looks like.) So, back to the kavah. Here's what The Kiss of Deception tells us about it:
  •      There was a lion claw.
  •      There was a vine.
  •      It was made with a henna dye
  •      Lia thought it was beautiful
  •      That's it.

       So I doodled around and this was one possible way I thought the kavah might look--a little snip of grapevines and a lion claw. Lia's kavah was supposed to be temporary, lasting only a few weeks, but in Lia's case something went wrong (or maybe right?) and some of it became permanent. On my Pinterest page I have a bulletin board of henna body art and designs where you can see how elaborate they can be. Maybe these pictures will help spark some of your creative energy.

Now for the giveaway part!
What do you have to do to enter?  This:
1)    Draw a kavah!
It's easy! There's a "blank" kavah below that you can add your own designs to (a fine point Sharpie works great. Just print the blank out on a piece of paper and have at it!) OR you can start from scratch. Interpret Lia's kavah for yourself. From badass to sweet, I'd love to see what you come up with!
2)    Post a picture of your kavah creation on Twitter, Instagram, or Tumblr
3)   
INCLUDE this hashtag in your tweet or post: #RemnantChronicles (This is a must!)
4)   Follow instructions on Rafflecopter entry below. Leave a comment.
(edited to add: You don't have to wait to do this step last--you can do it now.)
The giveaway ends at midnight on 7/20/16


That's it! And yes, it is open internationally!

THREE random winners will get:
1)   A signed and personalized hardcover of The Beauty of Darkness
2)   A Beauty of Darkness heart-shaped fan! (for my amazing fans)
3)   A Remnant Chronicles Charm. Hang it from your purse, backpack, zipper, belt loop--your pony tail! Whatever suits you! Inside the little antique brass book it says, "In the farthest corner, I will find you."
4)   Signed bookmarks from all three books.
5)   A mini poster of the gorgeous map! (and the reverse side is the cover of The Beauty of Darkness)

a Rafflecopter giveaway
And last but not least, the "blank" kavah I mentioned is below.
Have fun with this! Doodle your heart out! It is quite relaxing.
Or ditch the blank and create something entirely new!
I can't wait to see what you come up with! Neither can Lia!

I'm most excited to see Kaden, because I love him to bits, but I'm also excited to see what's going to happen with Pauline.

Also, my favorite quote? Hmm. I really like this one:
“I see only reminders that nothing lasts forever, not even greatness.”
“Some things last.”
I faced him. “Really? And just what would that be?”
“The things that matter.”

OH MY GOODNESS. I have very atrong feelings for Kaden, and I'm praying that things work out in his favour. But of course, I am so excited to see what Lia does. She's such a strong, independent young woman and I love seeing such a strong female character. Also, favourite quote "even the great can tremble with fear. Even the great can fall"

I'm looking forward to finding out the fates of Lia and Rafe ;-; The Heart of Betrayal made me so anxious it was the first book I ever stayed up to read :o AND the ending has left me so, so sad. The cliffhanger is comparable to the end of House of Hades... Apparently, I also took it with me to the dog park and read while my dog ran around (I still watched her, I promise!) .
I have a question too: on the giveaway box, it says to provide a link to where my kavah is posted... what do I do if I'm posting it on instagram?
Thanks so much for creating this world, Mary E. Pearson ^-^

The character I would be most excited to see in The Beauty Of Darkness would be Rafe, especially because of the cliffhanger him and Lia were involved in at the end of Heart of Deception. I love his protective natured and personality that I'm so excited to see what happens. Can't wait till August!

I'm definitely most excited to see wat's going to happen to Lia and Rafe. The Heart of Betrayal ended on such a cliffhanger! Ugh! Rafe is by far my most favorite character, as are most book characters with blue eyes!

My favorite quote is either when Rafe says, "I'd do whatever it took took to bring her back. I found her once. I would find her again." or "In the farthest corner, I will find you."

I wasn't sure where to share my link but it's here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BHpNdezjVp_/ I'm not an artist though! I imagined it having something to do with their cities, like a skyline or something similar, so I'm trying to show that too. I was thinking underside of claw also... not sure why! Anyway, I hope you like it!

I can't wait for the next book to see how much Lia continues to grow.

Thank you for the chance!!
