The Immortal Rules on Sale TODAY!!

via Harlequin TEEN:

THE IMMORTAL RULES is on sale TODAY!! 

Immortal Rule #1: You must feed on human blood. To go without will drive you mad and force you into a frenzied killing state. 

 Immortal Rule #2: You must relinquish your human past and any loyalties you held as a mortal. Former friends and family will see you only as a monster now. 

 Immortal Rule #3: You can be killed by beheading, fire, or exposure to direct sunlight. A wooden stake through the heart, while it will not destroy you permanently, will immobilize you and force you into hibernation. 

 Immortal Rule #4: You will heal from most other injuries, but your body will draw upon its own reserves to do so, and you must feed to replenish them soon after.

Book Trailer: The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa

In a future world, Vampires reign. Humans are blood cattle. And one girl will search for the key to save humanity.

Allison Sekemoto survives in the Fringe, the outermost circle of a vampire city. By day, she and her crew scavenge for food. By night, any one of them could be eaten.

Some days, all that drives Allie is her hatred of them. The vampires who keep humans as blood cattle. Until the night Allie herself is attacked—and given the ultimate choice. Die… or become one of the monsters.

Faced with her own mortality, Allie becomes what she despises most. To survive, she must learn the rules of being immortal, including the most important: go long enough without human blood, and you will go mad.

Then Allie is forced to flee into the unknown, outside her city walls. There she joins a ragged band of humans who are seeking a legend—a possible cure to the disease that killed off most of humankind and created the rabids, the mindless creatures who threaten humans and vampires alike.

But it isn't easy to pass for human. Especially not around Zeke, who might see past the monster inside her. And Allie soon must decide what—and who—is worth dying for.

Cover Ogle (#3): The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa

We've still got to wait until May 2012 to get our hands on this bad boy.

Here's the blurb:

You will kill. The only question is when.

In the dark days since the insidious Red Lung virus decimated the human population, vampires have risen to rule the crumbling cities and suburbs. Uncontested Princes hold sway over diminished ranks of humans: their "pets." In exchange for their labor, loyalty and of course, their blood, these pets are registered, given food and shelter, permitted to survive.

Unregistered humans cling to fringes, scavenging for survival. Allison Sekemoto and her fellow Unregistereds are hunted, not only by vampires, but by rabids, the unholy result of Red Lung-infected vampires feeding on unwary humans. One night, Allie is attacked by a pack of rabids, saved by an unlikely hero...and turned vampire.

Uncomfortable in her undead skin, Allie falls in with a ragtag crew of humans seeking a cure, or cures: for Rabidism and for Vampirism. She's passing for human...for now. But the hunger is growing and will not be denied. Not for friendship—not even for love.

I really love this cover. It's so different from the covers for The Iron Fey series, which are bright and fantastical. The cover for The Immortal Rules is dark and edgy. It shows us a peek at how the world of the book is. I'm excited to see how the transition from fey to vampires goes.
