HEART OF OBSIDIAN: Psy-Changeling #12 - June 4, 2013!

From the publisher’s site on Psy-Changeling #12…

Get ready for a major event in the smash-hit New York Times bestselling series—a secret finally revealed, and fans are guaranteed an epic surprise.

In 2006, Nalini Singh introduced the beguiling and sensual Psy/Changeling world in Slave to Sensation, which spawned a series that has had readers and critics cheering. Througout the incredible 11-book run there has been one question that has tantalized Nalini’s legion of fans. Now, in the eagerly-awaited twelfth book in the series, Nalini Singh finally reveals the answer to the biggest Psy/Changeling mystery—an answer so surprising we wouldn’t dare spoil it. Even if we knew.

Features a secret so shocking, the title can’t be revealed until publication.

The title can't be revealed until publication? I can't see that actually being kept a secret until June. Somebody is going to slip and publish it somewhere. The title must obviously be significant though in some way.

hmm, ja, you´re right...it´s obvious that there is something to reveal, something special...otherwise they would tell the title officially...

I have a feeling that the title is going to feature the word 'Ghost' in it, as in 'Ghost of [insert word here]', hence why they can't reveal the title......and probably not who the main characters are either now that I think about it...

OMG really! I cannot wait that long.
I guess it will reveal who the Ghost is and be Kaleb and Sahara's story.

Let's bet Alice and Kaleb hook up and the Ghost is revealed as Kalebs Twinbrother (would be awesome if "he" was a "she" and "she" just fooled us all the time ).

Good Twin/Evil Twin? In that case, Judd would think he knew who the Ghost was but didn't really.

Hmmm...a confirmation that either Kaleb or Vasic is the Ghost isn't going to shock anyone methinks.

Now, if we're talking of something outlandish, like...the Ghost isn't really a person at all but an astral projection of that person Kaleb has been searching for...lol. now, that would be something that would surprise me.

Now that's a fun theory!

You're right that neither Kaleb or Vasic would be particularly shocking. I hope that Nalini and her publisher aren't hyping this too much. I remember how Christine Feehan made a big deal out of keeping the heroine of Dark Predator a secret up until release last year, and it turned out to be the most obvious candidate so she had readers rolling their eyes.

OMFG!

I wanna know like... NOW!

Ok, no, I don´t, but... ugh!

My Guess ist:

It will be Kaleb´s book... but he isn´t the Ghost ^^

Scratch that!

In the Q&A I did with her in berlin, she said, we didn´t have to wait for long, to see, if Vasic would make it.
As in.. we don´t have to wait very long.
*jaw drops*

Oh my god, my sweet, sweet baby... It might be Vasic's book....

*goes to curl up and cry from happiness*



Alright, let me flesh out my theory. See above, why I think it might be Vasic (Oh god, please, let it be Vasic...)
Anyhow...

After ToN, she said, the 2nd half of the story arc would span 2-4 more books and she already had parts of the next books written.
IF I remember correctly, it was said, the Ghost's book would be the last in the series.

So, we have two conflicting things here:

Both Kaleb and Vasic have had a major build up in the last book.

With Vasic stepping ever closer to the edge of no return, to the point, where Aden says, he can´t be left alone anymore and Kaleb finally finding his elusive prey.

Might be both. The Setup for either one is there.

Vasic's surely would be the more urgent story. While Kaleb would absolutely be the more breathlessly anticipated one. (except by me, of course... yeah, yeah, I know... but I´ve been waiting for it, since the first time he appeared on a page. Sue me!)

But then... add that comment from above.
Added it below for better reference.

And will Vasic get his own book dammit... or at least survive?

Wait and see. Wont have to wait very long,though (enter wild fangirl squee here... I´m not quite sure if I should be terrified...)

We still might find out, who the Ghost is, or Kaleb's mysterious lady.
Or If Vasic is truly a decendant of Said Adelaja or...

Everybody thinks, there aren´t many secrets left to explore. Oh boy, I can´t even express how wrong that statement is

Thanks, Fluff! Interesting stuff. I'm just as excited about Vasic's book as Kaleb's. Vasic is a great, tortured character and I so want him to find peace and happiness like Judd.

Hmm, maybe it's Vasic and Kaleb that are twins lol.

Ran out of cans.

Pat, you lost me here

Me too lol!

Just a quick update.
I asked Nalini on FB if we would find out who the main characters are, or if that is also too much of a reveal since the title is being kept hidden and she responded with:

Alas, I'm afraid I can't answer any questions about the book as yet. You'll have to wait and see.

...which is pretty much a non-answer. I wouldn't be surprised if she's midst discussion with her publisher(s) about how much she can reveal to the fan base.

Sorry. Argh! >_< I spend too much time on tumblr when I'm sick.. I meant, "I can't even", which led to "I lost the ability to can", and that to "I ran out of cans". All as in, I don't really know what to say about this, and I'm not sure I can even properly talk or comment on the whole thing, because daaaamn.

Like..



It's really hard behaving like a normal person once you spent 30 hours on tumblr and haven't properly eaten for days because yo're sick.

I know if there won't be any spoilers or hints ... I simply will get bored and stop reading the next books. I also thinkg that they HAVE to say something, for promotion and stuff.

I have to agree. Even if we don't get an excerpt and teasers like we usually do they have to release the title at least. How will the book sellers make the book available for preorder and stuff if they don't? To keep fans interested they have to do something besides say its so big that they can't say anything about it.

that´s a very good point, hmmpf, can´t wait....
