Barnes & Noble Announces Red-Headed Stepchild From Jaye Wells’ Sabina Kane Series As The Latest Spotlight Pick

Barnes & Noble, Inc. (NYSE: BKS), the leading retailer of content, digital media and educational products, today announced that Red-Headed Stepchild from Jaye Wells’ Sabina Kane series, will be featured as the latest pick for “Barnes & Noble Spotlight” ( www.bn.com/spotlight), a NOOK Book ^™ program that features great writers at irresistible prices. Twice a month, Barnes & Noble Spotlight picks an author of a popular or breakout series from various genres and offers one of their titles at a special price, helping NOOK ^® readers discover new authors and dive into an exciting series for a wallet-friendly price. From July 28 through August 10, Barnes & Noble’s NOOK Bookstore will offer Red-Headed Stepchild for only 99 cents.

The Red-Headed Stepchild introduces readers to Sabina Kane, half-mage, half-vampire assassin. Despite her mixed background, Sabina’s loyalties lie with the Dominae, the vampire rulers who have raised her to be an assassin. Sabina’s latest mission threatens the fragile peace between the mage and vampire races. As she fights to choose a side, she uncovers family secrets, new powers and a political web. Red-Headed Stepchild is the first of five urban fantasy novels in the Sabina Kane series. Each book follows Sabina as she seeks to reunite the warring dark races and bring peace to the land.

Jaye Wells is the author of the critically acclaimed Sabina Kane series. The much hyped final novel in the series, Blue-Blooded Vamp, was released last month. In addition to this series, Wells has written many short fiction stories and flash fiction novels.
