Annabel (Delirium #0.5)
Author: Lauren Oliver
Expected Publication: December 26, 2012
Lena's mother, Annabel, has always been a mystery—a ghost in Lena's past. Until now.
Discover her secrets in Lauren Oliver's brilliant original digital story set in the world of New York Times bestsellers Delirium and Pandemonium.
Lena
Halloway's mother, Annabel, supposedly committed suicide when Lena was
only six years old. That's the lie that Lena grew up believing, but the
truth is very different. As a rebellious teenager, Annabel ran away from
home and straight into the man she knew she was destined to marry. The
world was different then—the regulations not as stringent, the cure only
a decade old. Fast forward to the present, and Annabel is consigned to a
dirty prison cell, where she nurtures her hope of escape and scratches
one word over and over into the walls: Love.
But Annabel, like
Lena, is a fighter. Through chapters that alternate between her past and
present, Annabel reveals the story behind her failed cures, her
marriage, the births of her children, her imprisonment, and, ultimately,
her daring escape.

Author: Courtney Allison Moulton
Expected Publication: January 2, 2013
There were shadows in this alley that no light touched, and where there was no light, anything could hide.
At the end of the fourteenth century, angelic reapers struggle to
defend London against a legion of the demonic who have their sights set
on claiming human souls and ancient relics for a dark purpose.
Madeleine, a young but powerful warrior, is duty-bound to fight the
demonic, and she lives for this pursuit above all else. Then, on a
routine night of tracking, she is ambushed by a cadre of reapers and,
though she defeats them all, she is left wounded and at the mercy of
their lord, the notorious Bastian.
Madeleine is astonished
when Bastian lets her live. She goes deeper into the world of the
demonic and is shocked to meet him again-this powerful reaper whose
touch makes her restless and gives her a thrill unlike anything else.
When they fall into a dangerous clandestine affair, her head and her
heart must wage their war: can their love overcome his demonic nature?
Will her dance with darkness burn her or bring Bastian into the light?
With scorching romance and fantastic action, this original novella
is a prequel to Courtney Allison Moulton's gripping and epic Angelfire
series.
