It's May 15th!
Not only does The Near Witch by Victoria Schwab come out in paperback today, but to celebrate its release, "The Ash-Born Boy" is finally up over at Disney*Hyperion's website!
So what IS "The Ash-Born Boy"?
It's a free story that Victoria wrote as a thank you to her fans, and she wrote it to answer one question: "Who was Cole before he came to Near?"
Now, if you've already read The Near Witch, "The Ash-Born Boy" is guaranteed to change the way you see Cole.
And if you haven't read The Near Witch yet, don't worry, "The Ash-Born Boy" won't spoil anything!
So basically, either way, you should read Cole's story!

AND
Cole's story isn't the only goodie to go along with the paperback release. In the back of the paperback itself, you'll find the first chapter of Victoria's new book, The Archived, which doesn't come out until January!
So what are you waiting for?
Help Victoria celebrate today by taking a look at "The Ash-Born Boy," and don't forget to buy/order/pick up your own paperback copy of The Near Witch!
After you read "The Ash-Born Boy" come let me know! I'd love to hear your thoughts!
