Happy Boxing Day! I am very excited to kick off our Twelve Days of Christmas giveaway today.
The Crown by Nancy Bilyeau (UK Cover)
On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me… the chance to win Nancy Bilyeau’s fantastic historical thriller The Crown.
All you need to do to be in the running to win The Crown is to leave a comment after this post. A winner will be randomly selected and notified once the competition closes on January 12, 2013.
This is an international giveaway.
Here is some more information about this book.
The Crown is a historical thriller about a young Dominican novice who, during the Dissolution of the Monasteries, struggles to find a lost mystical object to save her father’s life. Nancy Bilyeau is a novelist and magazine editor who has worked on the staffs of “Rolling Stone,” “Good Housekeeping” and “InStyle.” “The Crown,” her first novel, took five years to research and write. In 2010 it was bought in an auction by Simon & Schuster and later acquired by 10 foreign publishers. The Crime Writers’ Association put it on the short list for the Ellis Peters Historical Dagger Award in 2012. Oprah magazine described it as, “Bilyeau deftly weaves extensive historical detail throughout, but the real draw of this suspenseful novel is its juicy blend of lust, murder, conspiracy, and betrayal.” The sequel to The Crown is The Chalice, coming out in March 2013.
