Obsidian Blog Tour Closing Post

Well, it's the last day of the Obsidian Blog Tour. I've ended it here on the Mystic Stones Blog to let you see all the other Obsidian and Mystic Stones content. Feel free to follow this blog to stay up to date on news about the Mystic Stones Series. I am working hard on getting book two just right for you all.

If you missed anything in the blog tour, you will be able to find most of the content here very soon. I will be posting it again over the next few weeks. First I want to put all the calendar pages in one spot incase you missed one and can't find it. Also, there is still time to enter the giveaway, so be sure to do so. I'm sure some of you are wondering what the mystery prize is, well, we'll get to that in a moment . . .

Along with all the calendar pages, I'm also posting an awesome announcement!!

So do you want the AWESOME ANNOUNCEMENT first? Or the calendar pages?

Okay, okay, I'll give you the awesome announcement first.

My publisher has given me permission to write and release a short story for Obsidian!! Or rather, the characters of Obsidian. This short story will take place before Obsidian begins, but you will be able to read it before or after you read Obsidian. I might do this for each of the books in the series, so I am going to call these short stories Mystic Stones Jewels. The first one will give you another look at Ava and Tom and will be titled Ruby: A Mystic Stones Jewel. The tentative release date is sometime in April.

Want some more exciting news? I've decided to reveal the cover today!! So, here it is:

 
Want some more exciting news? The mystery prize for the giveaway is a free copy of the short story. Not only that, but you will be the very first person to recieve it and you will get it a few days before the official release!
 
 
Okay, now that I've announced all the exciting news, please enjoy the calendar pages and enter the giveaway!

Venom Injecting Wristband

This is the VIW, or the venom injecting wristband that Tom puts on Ava. It's tamper resistant, and will inject the wearer if he or she travels too far from the beacon it is connected to. The venom changes the weare into a vampire. These are typically used on people who do not wish to become a vampire when the Empire needs them to do something for the good of vampires. It has the stealth of looking like an ordinary bracelet incase the wearer needs to be out in public without causing curiousity. If you want to read the scene where the wristband first shows up take a look at the Chapter Three Excerpt

Official Obsidian Book Trailer Reveal!

Obsidian Crossword Puzzle


Carved Seashell Ring

In the Mystic Stones Series humans are protected from vampires by wearing a ring or bracelet that has been carved from a seashell using an obsidian blade that has killed a vampire.

This happens because the obsidian absorbs the vampires' soul when it pierces the heart. Once the dagger is used to carve a seashell ring the soul is then transferred into the ring and remains there to warn other vampires that the wearer is protected. The ring forms a shield around the wearer so that even if a vampire ignores the warning from the soul of the dead vampire, no harm can be done to the protected.








Obsidian

Obsidian is the name of the first book of the Mystic Stones Series and is also the only thing that can kill vampires in the Mystic Stones world. The characters use daggers and throwing knives carved from obsidian to kill vampires. The obsidian must pierce the heart of a vampire to kill it.

Obsidian is a volcanic glass that contains a large amount of silicone. Lava with high silicone content form obsidian when it cools rapidly. When broken, obsidian forms an extremely sharp edge such as the edge a shard of glass would have, therefore, if a vampire were encased in obsidian, it would be very dangerous for that vampire to try to break out.
