Ladies and gentlemen, for those who haven't heard, head over to the Waterstones site for a very special special edition announcement...
http://www.waterstones.com/blog/2014/08/the-dying-of-the-light-black-edition/#more-59340
This is something I've had in mind for years — a super supreme limited edition of only 1000 copies— the Black Edition. Those lucky few who have managed to get your hands on a proof copy of the first book should recognise the design we're echoing, bringing the whole thing full circle...
We're working with Waterstones on this, and so the Black Edition will only be available in their shops. You won't be able to preorder these. You won't be able to reserve one online or in person. Not even Waterstones STAFF can preorder these for THEMSELVES! On the day of publication, they will be put on the SHELVES — not on a table, not in the store window, not on a table out in front, but on the SHELVES. So you'll have to go hunting for them.
We already have 5000 copies of a Special Edition that comes signed, with that stunning cover, but the Black Edition will NOT be signed, and there will be a ONE PER PERSON policy. Basically, we're torturing you. We're making you choose.
The fact is, because there will only be 1000 printed, and so each store will only get a limited amount of copies, the chances of YOU, individual Minion, managing to snag one is pretty low. Because there is no way to guarantee that you get one, you're just going to have to be EXTREMELY lucky. Oh, and you should also check Twitter that day, because the stores will be tweeting how many copies they've got left. Until they tweet, there is no way of telling how many copies a particular store will have received.
Ooooh I can't wait to get mine....

*walks away out of hearing distance*
*calls Delila*
*after a few rings, she picks up*
Delila: Kes! Why are you calling? You know I'm at school!
*quietly* Yes, I know, I'm sorry, but it's important. Can you try to reach Sil? Check if she's a remnant?
Delila: *sighs* Fine, give me a minute. *after a couple seconds, quietly* Yeah. Yeah, she is.
*swears* Okay, thanks. I love you.
Delila: I love you too, but be careful! Actually careful, not like you usually try to pass as it!
*hangs up*
((L, why is it a secret?))
(Sophia: If I wear a dress, it will be your blood spilled on it.)
*is a bit annoyed she doesn't believe her, but she understands*
Well, so here's what happened. Silente was was trying to save us so she set off the sigils. The remnants swarmed her trying to stop it. Eventually they all died and it sigil was shut off but somewhere in that a remnant got her. She then pretended to be normal. But then when she was with Viv she stabbed him, trying to kill him. But then he called Jag's wife and she saved him. And Silente pretended she had no idea. And yesterday Sil was just acting normal and then Vic told us so we hand cuffed her and she showed us the black vains.
(Sil:....but you'd still be wearing a dress...)
*winces at the headache she gets whenever anyone messes with her head*
Alright. That hurt.
(Oh, never mind..)
If you were you I would have already tried to get you out. But now you're possessed why would I help out a remnant?
BECAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY REALLY CLEVER
((Dragona, I like the second picture))
*walks back over*
Yep. She's a remnant. If we can get her inside, I can try to get it out of her, but it's kind of useless unless we have somewhere to put it.
Yeah, we need a soul catcher. Hmm.
Does anyone else always get that feeling that their entire life has been practise for their real life?
And then every so often it hits you that this IS your real life and you're just like "Oh." :P
*throws hands up in the air*
We don't have one? Really? What about Zaf, as Grand Mage?
*walks up to Dugglyn*
... Is Silente still controlled by the... Remnant?
Lets say your little lie ISN'T a lie Dug, if I WAS possessed when you say I was, that means keeping me locked up any longer than tomorrow 8ish (gmt) would just get the remnant STUCK.
*raises an eyebrow*
HOW would that help?!
(Star, no, sorry. :P)
(@star can't say I have, no.)
((Star, yeah, all the time. Or the feeling where it's like you're a background character in some book that someone's writing :3))
Silente, or whatever you're calling yourself. All I have to do is force you out and then well have another three days. I am a sigilist, remember.
((Gtg, byee!)(
Well...
We'll get it out before then.
(Bye Kestrel!)
(bye Kessy!)
Bye!!
*activates her computer and scans Silente*
BYE MY DARLING KES<3 I LOVE YOU!<3
*looks at Dugglyn*
When. How. What will you do with it afterwards?
Um, put it in a room? In a soul catcher? Kill it?
(How are you angel?)
But I won't tell you more than that. Don't want it foiling our plan.
*a holographic image of Silente appears on her computer, showing her bones and veins*
... I've never seen anything like this before...
Remnants can escape from most rooms. You have no soul catcher. We don't die.
Fours, Kes! :(
And, yeah, I get you. :)
*hugs*
*looks at Dragona and Silente* O_O
Well, Zaf should. And yes, they kinda do. Silente drained them of energy basically killing them. We could prepare a room. It's been done before I bet it can be done again.
(Why are you looking at me? :P)
... Silente drained their energy?
... Is... is that how I nearly died?
... Oh...
(*stares at Star O_O*
Yes, but Leri, it was to save us. We had people who gave you more energy. It was to save us.
(*stares at everyone at once*
0.00.0
Ugh. Drained them of energy. And you say that as if you're speaking to someone else. It's me Duggy!
... No. We had two people who helped me. Only two... I owe Hunter my life, and I'm grateful to Alastair for giving me energy... but I could have died... I nearly died... If Hunter was a second later... I would have...
No. No it's not.
(That was to Sil)
Yes it is!
*smiles*
It's me! Sil! The person who you had to save from a remnant dimension! Who you found in her family crypt letting blood! Who used to be a vamp. It's me dumb dumb!
I... I'm sorry, I should probably go... or something...
*goes and sits underneath her tree, crying slightly and quietly*
(Everyone has suddenly gone silent.)
(That is in my nature.)
(*pokes nature*)
(Maybe we were always silent (*accidentally types 'silente'*
My friend F says that I wasn't always weird, and that I used to be normal. She said I used to be kind of quiet, actually.
What she doesn't get what that I was always this weird, I just didn't used to show it, and that was why I was quiet, because I didn't let my weirdness out . . .
Embrace your inner lunatic. Fun times guaranteed. :))
*sobs quietly underneath her tree*
When I found the blog.
That's when I started letting my weirdness out.
:)
Thanks, guys . . .
You've really improved my life, you know. :) :)
:/
*feels really bad for Leri*
Soy sauce me Poof. But I Gtg anyways.
(Nature: *eats Dragona's finger*
Yw Star.)
SORRY FOR VANISHING!
I WENT FOR FOOD
BUT NOW I AM BACK.
HELLO
(bye Dug)
:( Fours, Dugglyn!
*stares at Nature* O_O
@Silente: :)
Hey Mushroom! :)
STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR! *attacklehugs* How are you, my darling?
(Hey angel, how are you?)
Hey Sil! *hugs* I'm good! You?
Okay, I think, Mushroom. :) *hugs* You?
I'm good thanks, Star! On a bit of a sugar-high though, hahaha!:3
@Mushroom: *laughs* :) Well, I hope you haev fun up there. :)
Are you serious?
*activates her suit's cleaning systems to get rid of her tears*
(Im alright...)
(Hey El.)
Hmm... Will be distant, whilst I write a dedication...!
(How are you El?)
*plotting*
🗿
(Hey Viv)
👀🔒 📞🚔🚓🚐⚠️
I’d love to dedicate this page to Flora, because she’s one of the most amazing and wonderful people I’ve ever had the honour of knowing and I love her to pieces, but I don’t think I could ever do her and her perfection justice by talking about her. She understands me better than most people, despite how little she and I converse nowadays and, no matter how long the periods of silence between us are, when we do talk it’s like not even a day has passed since the last time. Talking with Flora feels really… natural, I guess. And no matter how thankful I am for her, I don’t know how on Earth I can even explain how important she is to me.
So, I guess, in a way I am dedicating to Flora, but I am also dedicating to Death Rose. And all I can say to you is what I e-mailed to you earlier, Rose:
Rose, my darling dearest, I am aware of the horrors that life can hold and I am aware of its beauties. You, Rose, are one of its finest, rarest beauties and it is an honour to know you and have you in my life. I adore you more than my writing, and you understand how much I love that.
Living a life without my sister, without you, would not be a life worth living and I know that I would be so much more easily tempted to let go without you in my life. It already is incredibly difficult for me to keep my grip strong on the handles of this roller-coaster that we call life. It is already painful, at times, to keep holding on, when the only thing I want is to let the air become my ride, until I meet the black paving beneath me. Rose, sweetie, you often give me a reason to keep on holding on and keep fighting.
Rose, I know it is difficult and I know you want to leave, but, if you cannot think of yourself and what could be, think of us - your friends - and think of what will be if you let go. I'm apparently a strong person, but, let me tell you, losing you would allow the cracks in my person to deepen and my whole being would smash into nothingness. I would die with you. So, please, don't let the world lose two lives tonight. I love you.
Also to strippers and pole-dancing and boobs and bums. Yes, good. Bye.
(Loki's comment on your blog is funny..
*hugs El* I'm worried too...)
(That last part...)
(2🌹!)
(🐜🌼)
(Hear Hear..
That last part though...)
ItwasMatt'sideaandIamnotsorry.
(Thank you Matt!)
(👏👌)
*pulls against Viv*
👀 👄📥😀
😠👊
*pulls her back*
(why do you keep posting blank comments?)
Let me go Vivvy! I'm all for bondage, if that's what you like, but we're not in the bedroom right now..
(4⃣👹.👯💃)
(I'm not...I'm using emoticons...do they not show up?)
(They show up for me.)
See, you aren't the real Sil. That's not what the real Sil would say.
(Draggie, will you be my translator?)
(They are all messages.)
(I can try.)
(they ain't showing up for me...)
Oh but I AM the real Sil!
*pulls away again*
It's me, see
*smiles*
(👍,👏)
Prove it by sitting still and waiting.
*pulls her back over so that she doesn't try anything with Chi*
You think I'll sit still and WAIT when you're going to help HER throw me in another cell?!
*yanks hard against him*
That was a beautiful ded, Mushroom . . . :) Thanks. :) *hugs*
*puts his arms around her, keeping her in place*
Yes, if you want you can think of it as together time.
*still sat beneath her tree - has stopped crying, but isn't feeling happy at all*
(🍄✅❗️❗️☑️)
*holds up the arm attached to Chi*
Time together, with another person.
*glares*
She isn't paying any attention.
We can move somewhere more romantic if you wish.
*raises an eyebrow, a slight smile playing along her lips*
Why not.
(🐉a, 😀2⃣ 🇬🇧. 👆)
(Especially when I can't see it!)
Like a prison?
*looks hopeful*
(🎷🎶, RU 📥 or👂)
(Fine!)
*frowns*
How is a prison romantic?
*rolls her eyes and twists her wrist in its cuff, intertwining her fingers with Viv's*
( I had just given everyone a symbol...Dragon was 🐉, Elleni was 🎷🎶 Sil was 💉 Rose was 🌹 Luce was 🍄)
(all I see there is '( I had just given everyone a symbol...Dragon was , Elleni was Sil was Rose was Luce was )' no emoji's)
*squeezes her hand*
Aren't they romantic? The guy goes in and saves the girl...that sort of stuff.
El- I do love the Roki picture. Apologizes, my author is actually driving (Save me) so I shall vanish.
(Dragona is a dragon, El is a sax and music ((jazz...)) you are a syringe dripping blood, rose is a Rose and Luce is a mushroom)
*raises an eyebrow*
I was under the impression one person gets arrested and stays in prison for ages.
*moves onto tiptoes and kisses Viv lightly on the lips*
(... Isn't it illegal to drive whilst using a mobile phone? :P)
That's ACE, Viv. O_O O_O O_O
(That's smart.)
@Dragona: I assume she posted that before she started driving. :P
*kisses her back, his hand tracing her body, pulling knives as he goes*
*removes around 2/3 of her knives and throws them in a pile out of her reach*
*continues searching*
*keeps her lips locked on his to distract her, maybe as a human her senses aren't what they were*
*can distantly hear the knives hitting the ground*
*opens her eyes and looks at the pile out of her reach*
*pulls away from Viv again*
Hey!
(Star ⭐️🌠🌟✨💫💥)
*pulls her back*
I don't want to be stabbed again.
(Star, so did I. For a start. But Loki said that his author was DRIVING. So that would imply that she's actually doing it, not about to set off? :P)
I can't duffus. One hand attached to Chi, the other attached to you remember. Plus I've already told you, that was a dream.
*smirks*
(Maybe she was at a 🚦? Redlight for you Sil...)
(*nods* maybe. Or a pit stop type thing...)
Well the dream has me scared. Please throw all your knives over there.
(Brb.)
(🚉? ⛽️?)
If you can't TRUST me not to stab you, even when I'm cuffed up on both sides, I'm a bit worried about our relationship Viv..
(Train crossing? Gas stop?)
Neither is being stabbed by your girlfriend...
Just get rid of the knives, what are YOU afraid of?
(I'm a bit worried too, tbh . . . D:
Trust.
The Mistborn series.
:'( :') D:)
Even at a redlight, one still shouldn't be texting . . .
@Dragona: Yeah, I just assumed it was a communiation error of hers/Loki's. :P
*redlight/train station
Gas stop I can allow. :P
I'm afraid of a lot of things.
*rests her head on his chest*
*listens to his heart beating and smiles*
*-I cannot keep this up much longer-*
*instead of 'neither', insert 'isn't either' after girlfriend
(Viv has his partial armor on...)
We can do this one of two ways Sil.
What are these ways then Viv?
*looks up at him*
Either you throw ALL your knives over there and we can cuddle...
Or...
You sit in my lap and let me wrap my arms around you nice and tight so that you can't reach yhe weapons anyways.
*the
*sighs*
*reaches for her knives, pulling then and throwing them to the pile*
*almost all of them*
*all except the ones on her wrists, in her boots and on her stomach*
Better?
All of them.
I can't REACH the ones in my boots...
*takes off her boots*
*removes all the knives in them, counting as he goes*
There are still a few more.
*raises an eyebrow*
I lost some. Haven't gotten around to replacing then yet.
*shrugs*
Lost them when?
At Dug's.
*look at her warily*
If I feel any knives when we're cuddling...
(*meaningfully* Aren't these knives metal?
*thinks they'll've acknowledged that in their heads already but just in case*)
(*or not . . .*
Would I do that?
*smirks*
*-I swear how hard is it to het close enough to steal a few keys-*
(Viv's not a metal detector...except, he did make them I guess)
(@Viv: Oh, okay. :))
(Viv never has keys...)
((Interesting...))
*runs a hand along her sides*
*over her belly*
*stops*
What is this?
(keys for the handcuffs?)
My stomach?
(Nope, Viv never has keys at all, they melt into his suit and he just makes new ones as he goes...)
(Back.)
*presses his palm against a barely noticeable bump*
This?
*showers everyone with glitter*
(Leri actually HAS a metal detector (well, it's more like an x-ray thing) in her computer, so y'know. :P)
...a baby? A chocolate bar?
*grins*
You conceal babies in your sheaths? Chocolate bars I can at least get close to understandin, but babies...
*fingers feel for a way to reach the knife*
(Then why won't she help?)
Okay so obviously not a baby. Chocolate and energy bars I do try to carry around nowadays...
@Lantern: Interesting . . . ?
Hunter would like to say he IS a metal detector, but he's not really, not that he wants me to say that part. :P
Details, my dear Starberry. It is a matter of details.
How do you even access it?
*grins despite himself*
@Lantern: :) *smiles at her for being her and being perfect and then hugs her for the same reason*
(Leri doesn't KNOW she needs to help? I mean, she's currently sat under a tree and not being very happy.)
Going under the shirt usually. It's an upside down sheath...
*grins*
What would you do if it WAS a baby? But not in the sheath obviously.
(I'd try and cheer he up but I'm a tad bit preoccupied )
**her
Probably ask you who you've been cheating with...
*reaches in and pulls the knife out*
Good thing I caught that before we cuddled huh.
*smirks*
Yeah. Great thing.
*thinks for a moment*
What's your thoughts on babies?
It didn't fucking work. Fucking Hell.
(What didn't, Rose?)
(OMG DEATH THANK THE LORD WE ALL LOVE YOU SO MUCH DONT SCARE US LIKE THAT AGAIN PLEASE! *hugs*)
I think that ove all they quite loud and smelly but that they grow up to be ok.
*pats down her legs and then starts moving down her arms*
*rolls her eyes*
I meant on HAVING babies. Dufus.
ROSEEEEEEEEEEEEE <3
(I hope you understand with Silente's body's age, if she ever had a child whilst appearing that age, something would probably go wrong.)
(I realise that Draggie. At least now she grows up...)
Oh, well I can't...males can't give birth.
*rolls his eyes*
*his fingers catch on her wrists*
Sil?
(Just read back...Rose!)
*hides her hands behind her back*
We were being serious.
(Rose, people here love you and care about you. Always remember that. I'll pray for you.)
*brings her hands back*
Yes, now give me those knives.
Roseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, perfect, e-mail?<3<3<3
*sighs irritably*
This is getting me no where. Melt the cuffs and I'll give you the knives.
We already decided on your reward for handing over the knives. You chose it.
*grabs her wrists*
Rose....
*chugs in*
Hey guys, check out my swanky new body!
Trip! *tacklehugs*
*pulls her wrists away*
*smirks*
There's no point me hiding is there?
(Chi! Help!!! Viv can't do anything without your help!!)
*snatches back her wrists with s grip so tight it threatens to break them*
There never was.
*would have been knocked over before, but is now a tank engine*
Hello Chione!
*winces and doesn't pull away*
*let's the black flood her veins and lips, turning her cheeks ashen*
Hm. Wonder how your girlfriend will feel about you kissing a remnant..
