Enter, Lost One.

Can you solve the riddle for a chance to win?

One lucky winner will receive a $100 Barnes & Noble gift card + a signed copy of Asteria!

Only in death do I survive.

Only in darkness do I rise.

A thousand thousand souls have gazed upon my glory.

I am brightest when I shatter, and none shall see me healed.

The lovelorn and the lost call to me at twilight,

the saeges and the sooths seek me before dawn,

the outcast and the rebels tread the path I wander.

Always, always, they come—

hands clasped and hearts stirring,

bearing arrow and sword,

longing and ruin,

secrets and lies.

Yet I return not a word.

What am I?

The Rift is opening in unexpected places . . .

You've already discovered your first Rift.

But it won't be the last.

As more Asteria creator boxes begin appearing across Bookstagram and BookTok, each new creator you discover can unlock another bonus giveaway entry.

Discover up to ten creators throughout the campaign to maximize your chances of winning. Each creator may only be used once, regardless of how many platforms they post on. Submit a new form (i.e., place another entry) for every unique creator you find.

Solve the official Asteria riddle correctly to earn one additional bonus entry.

Happy hunting, Lost One.
