You are currently hunting on TEAM GOLD.
Looking for my exclusive bonus content? You’ll have to keep searching.
Somewhere on this blog hop, I’ve hidden four fun secrets for my most zealous fans! Before you go looking for them, check out the amazing author I’m hosting.
But, first, a few rules.
SCAVENGER HUNT PUZZLE RULES
DIRECTIONS: Below, you’ll notice that I’ve listed my favorite number. Collect the favorite numbers of all the authors on TEAM GOLD, and then add them up (don’t worry, you can use a calculator!)

There are FOUR contests going on simultaneously as well as a bonus contest and you can enter one or all! I am a part of the GOLD TEAM but there is also a RED TEAM, BLUE TEAM, & a PURPLE TEAM! Check out each team for a chance to win FOUR different sets of signed books!
If you’d like to find out more about the hunt, see links to all the authors participating, and see the full list of prizes up for grabs, go to the YA Scavenger Hunt page.
Now that all the technical stuff is out of the way, I’ll introduce the author I am hosting on this hunt.
This season I am hosting…
Sara B. Larson
Sara B. Larson is the best-selling and critically acclaimed author of the YA fantasy DEFY trilogy (DEFY, IGNITE, and ENDURE), the DARK BREAKS THE DAWN duology, and SISTERS OF SHADOW AND LIGHT (11.05.19 TorTeen/Macmillan). She can’t remember a time when she didn’t write books—although she now uses a computer instead of a Little Mermaid notebook. Sara lives in Utah with her husband, their four children, and their Maltese, Loki. She writes in brief snippets throughout the day and the quiet hours when most people are sleeping. Her husband claims she should have a degree in “the art of multitasking.” When she’s not mothering or writing, you can often find her at the gym repenting for her sugar addiction.
She’s online at www.SaraBLarson.com.
Check out her book SISTERS OF SHADOW AND LIGHT!
“The night my sister was born, the stars died and were reborn in her eyes…”.
Zuhra and Inara have grown up in the Citadel of the Paladins, an abandoned fortress where legendary, magical warriors once lived before disappearing from the world―including their Paladin father the night Inara was born.
On that same night, a massive, magical hedge grew and imprisoned them within the citadel. Inara inherited their father’s Paladin power; her eyes glow blue and she is able to make plants grow at unbelievable rates, but she has been trapped in her own mind because of a “roar” that drowns everything else out―leaving Zuhra virtually alone with their emotionally broken human mother.
For fifteen years they have lived, trapped in the citadel, with little contact from the outside world…until the day a stranger passes through the hedge, and everything changes.
Bonus Material
For my bonus material, I created a Word Art piece for my book. What clues can you spot?
That was awesome, right?! Personally I’m particularly interested in the word ROAR and FIRE being so prominent. I’m also intrigued by HAIR, VEIN, and BARE.
If like me, you are sucked in already, you can buy her book HERE!
Check out more on her Website, Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook page.
And don’t forget to enter the contest for a chance to win a ton of signed books by me and many more! Just check out all these books on team GOLD.
Oh, one interesting fact I forgot to mention. This year is a big one for me. Not only am I celebrating my 25th anniversary but I’m hitting a milestone birthday. Can you guess how old I am? Hint: You’ll have to count the balloons.
Thank you so much for visiting my website! While you’re here don’t forget to enter the Rafflecopter bonus contest I am running exclusively during the YA Scavenger Hunt.
Five lucky winners who sign up for my newsletter will get a book of their choice. And, there’s a bonus rafflecopter for my biggest fans. You’ll have to know the tiger series to enter this one, but the prize will be worth it. Good luck everyone!
Enter the rafflecopter below for a chance to win,
For my Tiger’s Curse series superfans, here’s another chance to win!
Note: These books will be shipped as soon as they are available to me. They are slated for publication November 12th. My best guess is that I’ll be able to get early copies by mid-October so I won’t be able to ship this prize out immediately following the hunt.
