HOSTED BY: BOOK ENTHUSIAST PROMOTIONS & MARK MY WORDS BOOK PUBLICITY
The Dominion of Atalanta is at war. But for eighteen-year-old Aris, the fighting is nothing more than a distant nightmare, something she watches on news vids from the safety of her idyllic seaside town. Then her boyfriend, Calix, is drafted into the Military, and the nightmare becomes a dangerous reality.
Left behind, Aris has nothing to fill her days. Even flying her wingjet—the thing she loves most, aside from Calix—feels meaningless without him by her side. So when she’s recruited to be a pilot for an elite search-and-rescue unit, she leaps at the chance, hoping she’ll be stationed near Calix. But there’s a catch: She must disguise herself as a man named Aristos. There are no women in the Atalantan Military, and there never will be.
Aris gives up everything to find Calix: her home. Her family. Even her identity. But as the war rages on, Aris discovers she’s fighting for much more than her relationship. With each injured person she rescues and each violent battle she survives, Aris is becoming a true soldier—and the best flyer in the Atalantan Military. She’s determined to save her Dominion . . . or die trying.

PRESS RELEASE:
Alloy Entertainment Launches New Digital-First Imprint with Amazon Publishing
First three books release today
SEATTLE—(NASDAQ: AMZN)—July 29, 2014—Today, Amazon Publishing and Alloy Entertainment, a
division of Warner Bros. Television Group, announced a digital-first imprint that will focus on young
adult, new adult and commercial fiction. The new imprint, named Alloy Entertainment, will be part of
Amazon Publishing’s Powered by Amazon program. Powered by Amazon enables publishers and authors
to leverage Amazon’s global distribution and personalized, targeted marketing reach.
Today also marks the publication date for the imprint’s first three titles:
• Imitation by Heather Hildenbrand, which follows Ven, the clone of a wealthy, 18-year-old named
Raven. Imitations like Ven only leave the lab when their Authentics need them—to replace the
dead, be an organ donor, or in Ven’s case, serve as bait when Raven’s life is threatened. It is
Ven’s job to draw out Raven’s assailants, but she must decide if she is prepared to sacrifice
herself for a girl she has never met.
• Every Ugly Word by Aimee Salter, a coming-of-age story about a teenager named Ashley who
sees her 23-year-old self when she looks in the mirror. Her older self has been through it all
before, and helps Ashley survive torment from high school bullies, unrequited love for her best
friend and a volatile relationship with her mom. But her older self also carries the scars of a
terrible and imminent event in Ashley’s life that she’s powerless to stop.
• Rebel Wing by Tracy Banghart, a sci-fi fantasy adventure set in the war-torn Dominion of
Atalanta. For Aris, the fighting is worlds away from the safety of her seaside town until her
boyfriend Calix is drafted into the military. When Aris herself is recruited to become a pilot for
an elite search-and-rescue unit, she leaps at the chance, hoping to be reunited with Calix. But what starts as mission driven by love turns into one of duty as Aris becomes a true soldier
determined to save her Dominion...or die trying.
Alloy Entertainment acquired the books based on the unique voices of the authors and originality of the
stories. The company worked closely with each of the writers throughout the publishing process in an
effort to gain the widest possible readership. The books will be published under the Alloy Entertainment
publishing banner, which currently includes more than 75 New York Times bestsellers.
“One of our strengths is working with talented authors to create and develop properties that have mass
entertainment appeal,” said Leslie Morgenstein, President of Alloy Entertainment. “This program is an
exciting extension of our business and will allow us to leverage Amazon’s ability to distribute to an
incredibly diverse and broad readership.”
"Rebel Wing is the book of my heart. It’s a story I felt compelled to tell, both from the perspective of an
Army wife and as someone who believes you can never have enough strong female characters in the
world," said author Tracy Banghart. "Being given the opportunity to work with the incredibly talented
folks at Alloy to make it the best version of itself was an exciting and affirming process, and knowing
that its distribution will be handled by Amazon—a company that has already made so much possible for
me as an indie author—is pretty much the definition of win-win as far as I’m concerned."
“Alloy has a tremendous track record developing stories, like Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars and The
Vampire Diaries, that our customers love,” said Jeff Belle, Vice President of Amazon Publishing. “We’re
thrilled to promote these books from Alloy Entertainment with our Powered by Amazon program. It’s a
great fit.”
Authors who publish with Alloy Entertainment’s new digital-first imprint receive an advance and
royalties paid on a monthly basis. Alloy Entertainment will also look for opportunities to develop
acquired titles as television series, feature films, and digital entertainment.

"Original. Authentic. Heart-breaking....Officially one of my favorites!"
-- Cora Carmack, New York Times Bestselling author of Losing It.

emotion searing every page. I couldn't put it down."

IMITATION
Clone Chronicles #1
HEATHER
HILDENBRAND
Everyone is exactly like me.
There is no one like me.
The rough fabric of my cotton nightgown chafes so I lie very still.
They say my discomfort comes from being built like one
accustomed to niceties. How is that fair when I myself have never
experienced anything but copies of the real thing?
My entire life is an imitation.
I am an Imitation.
I’ve been here five years. Training. Preparing. Waiting.
And now I have a letter.
My assignment has begun.
I am a prisoner.
I am not Raven Rogen.
I am here to die.

Imitation will be one of the first of three titles to be released under the newly launched imprint.
Ven is an Imitation, a clone of a wealthy girl named Raven. Imitations only leave their home, Twig
City, when they are needed by their Authentics- to replace them in any situation, to serve as organ
donors, or, as in Ven's case, to become bait when her Authentic's life has been threatened. Ven must
pretend to be Raven even as she experiences the sights, sounds, and feelings of the real world for the
first time. But real life is more dangerous than she ever imagined. The attacks begin the second she
replaces her Authentic, and Ven is quickly caught in a game of cat-and-mouse
with her assailants.
Heather Hildenbrand has published more than eight YA & NA
novels including the bestselling Dirty Blood series. She splits her
time between coastal Virginia and the island of Guam and loves
having a mobile career and outrageous lifestyle of living in two

About REBEL WING:
There are two things in the world that Aris truly loves: flying in her wingjet above
Atalanta, and Calix, the boy that she is about to be promised to after the selection.
Just before the selection happens, a mysterious military officer named Theo presents her
with a job alternative in his sector she never thought possible: to fly. But from all the
information that Aris has ever known, women are not allowed in the Military sector of
the Five Dominions. What could he possibly have in mind?
With the war between the Five Dominions and Safara becoming increasingly dire, Theo
also shares with Aris that there will be an increase in military recruits assigned at the
selection and Calix will likely be on that list – allowing Aris to truly consider the job
She could save lives, maybe even Calix’s.
In a society where conflict has overtaken, relationships are tested through the most
dangerous of situations: war. REBEL WING will test the limits of love and explore how
far people will go for the ones they truly care about. But even with Aris stepping up, high
up in the backbone of the Five Dominions reside the wards of each sector, those in
charge, and they truly have all the power.
Says author Tracy Banghart of writing REBEL WING:
