Vera Nazarian's Norilana Books Presents YA Angst

Cover for SENRID by Sherwood Smith

Norilana Books is proud to present our first original title from the YA Angst imprint, now available for pre-order: Senrid by Sherwood Smith.

Senrid is a story of swashbuckling boys and girls, royal stakes, mysterious villains, high adventure and strange magic, set in the universe of Crown Duel and Inda, in the tradition of Lloyd Alexander's Westmark and Megan Whalen Turner's The Thief.

Sherwood Smith is the beloved author of over 25 books, best known for her stories for children and young adults. She has been writing in this fantasy milieu since age eight, and her first novel set there, Crown Duel, is currently in its ninth printing.

For more detailed jacket blurb and Pre-Order links to Amazon, Barnes & Noble and various Amazon international sites, see YA Angst.

"Sherwood Smith's Senrid, written when she was fifteen, offers an extraordinary window into the development of a wonderful writer. Here in embryo are all the elements that Smith's fans have come to love."

— Justine Larbalestier

"There's a lot of camaraderie, as well as budding sexual tension and never-a-dull-moment momentum."

— Kirkus Reviews on Wren's Quest

"A realm in trouble, a spirited female hero with magic to surround her, mystery, romance, an enigmatic marquis, court etiquette and secret messages -- this is the stuff of dreams!"

— Tamora Pierce on Crown Duel
