Exclusive Cover Reveal: Nalini Singh Archangel’s Shadows
Contests/Giveawaysgiveaway470 Comments
I wish I could say that I have this on my Kindle and I’m reading it right now. Alas…no. But I have stared at the cover for a while since I received it last night. I love that Ashwini is not depicted as a blonde haired, blue eyed Scandinavian but matches her in-book description. And yeah, Janvier, you look nice, too.
Return to New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh’s sensual and painfully beautiful Guild Hunter world in her new novel of sacrifice, loyalty, and the choices of love that can shatter the heart.
In the wake of a brutal war, the archangel Raphael and his hunter consort, Elena, are dealing with the treacherously shifting tides of archangelic politics and the people of a battered but not broken city. The last thing their city needs is more death, especially a death that bears the eerie signature of an insane enemy archangel who cannot—should not—be walking the streets.
This hunt must be undertaken with stealth and without alerting their people. It must be handled by those who can become shadows themselves…
Ash is a gifted tracker and a woman cursed with the ability to sense the secrets of anyone she touches. But there’s one man she knows all too well without a single instant of skin contact: Janvier, the dangerously sexy Cajun vampire who has fascinated and infuriated her for years. Now, as they track down a merciless killer, their cat-and-mouse game of flirtation and provocation has turned into a profound one of the heart. And this time, it is Ash’s secret, dark and terrible, that threatens to destroy them both.

Now, the first question I asked was when the release date was. November 2014 is the answer. WHAT???? That’s so far away. To appease us, Berkley and Nalini Singh are offering up a complete set of the Archangel series, in paper, to be shipped anywhere. Yes, anywhere. AND 1 Advanced Reader’s Copy of Shield of Winter (here’s why you want to read this book)

If I could have wings they would be a deep red with gold filaments. Maybe some kind of female version of Illium. What shall I say Bluebell is my favourite.
@Linda: Wings: I actually don’t know what color I want because all them are so pretty *g*
If I had wings, I’d want deep purple wings fading through the spectrum of purples, lavenders, and violets, before reaching silver at the tips.
I am so excited! Love Ash and Janvier. My wings would be several shades of purple.

So happy for this book. I’d like mood change wings. lol The color would change with my mood. My wings would probably be back a lot. 0_O
I’d like purple and gold wings, in a nice tiger-stripe pattern. Thanks for the great giveaway.
What a stunning cover! And wings? Iridescent onyx :)
Oooh I so want that ARC!!!!!
I want Black wings with green shining through and could find no pic, boo
Wings of blue shading from deepest azure to palest blue, top to bottom.
Mine would be midnight blue with white quarter moons on them.
Blue and green jewel tones all stacked together.
Hey all,
The cover is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous! I am in awe. GH series is one of the few series whose cover dont make me avoid reading them in public :)
Wings wise, I would like to be a degrade colour of green like Mahyia’s minus the blue.
If I could have wings, I’d want them to be able to support my body weight, but still not take up too much space (because I’m considerate like that). I’d like the pattern to replicate this missoni dress: http://cache3.asset-cache.net/xc/105430568-amber-tamblyn-during-the-sisterhood-of-the-filmmagic.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=77BFBA49EF87892102A727B1636DE2E6FB1612BE467908ADE321FDF858EBBAF3BDA3E650FDD353B6E30A760B0D811297
I would like my wings to be emerald green fading to charcoal
Yay! I can’t wait!
I’d totally have to have winter inspired wings…that look like snowflakes or what the windows look like overnight after a frozen storm.
If I had wings I would want them a deep blue with silver on the edging.
I cannot wait! A&J have such great chemistry; if the previous novella and books are any indication, this will be awesome!
My wings would be very deep black right at your back and then spread slowly into a soft purple. I looked for a picture but did find one that I liked well enough.
I forgot to add, I’l love black, fading to silver
My wings would be a deep black starting right at my back then fading into grey toward the edges.
Green wings, like leaves.
I can’t wait to see more of Ashwini and Janvier! If I had wings, I would want silver ones.
I would love dark silver wings with white tips! That would be beautiful:)
I LOVE Nalini Singh! If I had wings I’d want them to be a silvery translucent color.
They would be sky blue.
Yes! we will finally get answers, no more teasing entries in other books! And when does Venom get a storyline/book?
I have not read any of the books yet. Looks like a good read!
Love that cover. My wings would be black iridescent with purple and deep blue hues to it. :)
I haven’t been a huge fan of angel themed books but I was hooked from the first Guild Hunter book and I am thrilled that Ash has her own book! I mean c’mon, we’re talking about Javier here. What woman living or fanged wouldn’t want a laid back smexy looking Cajun?
Mine would be cobalt blue, black and white. Just because those colors are amazing together.
I would like burgundy-colored wings, preferably with a simple, minimalistic design!
I have been waiting for another story of Ash and Javier!!! If I had wings I would want bright blue and black like Morpho butterfly.
WhoaaMiiGosh!!!! I love Janvier!!
If I had wongs they would be a beautiful blue that almost shimmers silver!

Thanks for the giveaway. Love Nalini’s books!
My Wings would have to go a full palette of silver, grey, baby blue and navy blue :)
Maybe in this “model”:

They seem feather leight ;)
Here they are in blue! Gorgeous!

If I had wings, I would love if they were purple with silver spots. These are my favorite colours!
I’ve been anticipating Ash’s story. Can’t wait!
I would love violet mixed in with black for wings.
I’d like royal blue wings with black and gray accents.
Midnight blue with nice sleek feathers…
Can’t wait – that cover is awesome! I’d love Dark wings at the top, fading to a pale shade at the bottom. Blue, or course, to match my very favorite Bluebell ;-)
Blue as Bluebells’ blue would be my wings… Or blue as the sky around me so that I would look like I was floating
My wings would be a combination of blue and grey, like Raphael’s and Elena’s eyes. :)
Thanks for the contest. I have most of the series in ebook but actually prefer dead tree. So lookingforward Ashwini & Janvier’s story.
If it’s okay to sound like someone else, I would like wings with an ombre effect from cobalt to turquoise (had a silk shirt like this years ago and loved it) adding a silver trim on the feathers a la Ilium. However, they would probably overwhelm my little wren-like self and actually end up being something pale and beige/brown. But really, who cares? I would be FLYING!!!
Wings, either a dark indigo that drips into flame, or a silver/black that switches depending on the light hitting it. Pattern not needed with those!
Honestly? I don’t know. I love waay too many color/pattern combinations.
Heck, I have to spend half and hour deciding on which mug to buy and they were just simple colored ones.
So excited… Archangel’s Shadows will be an awesome birthday present! (My birthday is near the end of November :D)
I would love to have wings so black that they would have purple highlights under the right light that would shade into indigo/amethyst and then a deep, rich sapphire at the primaries and secondaries. Some flecks of amber and bronze throughout would not go amiss, either.
I love the Psy-Changeling books, but still need to read the Guild Hunter series. Love all the covers especially this newest one…very refreshing to see cover models that apparently match the actual character descriptions.
I would probably want wings that were dark purple (almost black) with silver tips.
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!!
Gorgeous cover! I can’t wait to see the UK version. Ash and Janvier at last! :)
I would love to have wings resembling the colours of sunset.
Absolutely love this series! It will be fun to see Javier again. Looking forward to Blubell’s story as well.
Great! I like Ash!
Can’t wait for this. I love the cover <3
Thanks for this giveaway :D
@Deborah B.:
And I would love gold bronze wings
AHHHH ONE MORE STEP CLOSER!! Though I’m not that big a fan of Ashwini and Janvier (don’t..really care about their merry go round kind of relationship), there’s gonna be more Elena/Raphael action and that’s good enough. *sigh*
Omgg! That’s the question I kept asking myself back when I read Angel’s Blood!! Haha, I finally settled with white wings with blue and silver at the part where the wings flow into the shoulders/back but it’s a slow gradient out into the whites. Like rays of the sun but blue and silver on a white background. ;)
If I had wings, I would like them to be orange, red, yellow, gold, and white and have a pattern of flame so that eveytime they flex or arson flight it would look like fire.
@Shannon C:
I meant are in flight – damnable auto correct!
If I could have any wings it would be a tie between sky coloured wings in all the pretty shades of blue or dark rich entirely black wings :)
Can’t wait for Ash’s story. hmm. wing color – deep, iridescent purple.
A dark blue or indigo or black wing looks cool.. don’t you agree?
I can’t wait for this book so excited. LOVE the cover :)
Oh gosh, if I had wings, they would be a vibrant red velvet color. Of course, with a light sheen of gold or perhaps, silver! (;
Oooh, I love this series and pretty much anything Ms. Singh has written! I can’t wait. :)
My wings would probably be dark blue with a little bit turquoise green or dark gray.
I can has hair like that please?
I cannot wait. I am so excited! I would want dark grey wings.
I’d love wings like Bluebell’s. I think they are beautifully described in the series. I absolutely cannot wait for this book and the next Psy-Changeling book. Thanks for the giveaway!
