We're still waiting for Warner Bros. to conjure up casting scoop for the big-screen adaptation of Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl's magical "Caster Chronicles" (Lena and Ethan weren't among our top 10 most anticipated casting announcements for nothin'!), but in the meantime, we'll tide ourselves over with this tidbit: Little Brown Books for Young Readers is set to publish two new books by Ms. Garcia!
"Unbreakable" and "Unbound" are the first two installments of Kami's new "Legion" series, which will debut in fall 2013. According to Publisher's Weekly, the series "follows a girl named Kennedy Waters, who, when her mother dies, finds out she was part of a secret society that guards the world against a demon trying to escape his realm and come to Earth." Sounds pretty dark and twisty to us (i.e. awesome!).
And following in the footsteps of she and Margaret's "Beautiful Creatures," Kami scored a movie deal before the novel even hit bookstore shelves. Producer Mark Morgan, who worked on "The Twilight Saga" and "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief," is attached to the project.
Publisher's Weekly broke the news earlier this summer that Kami's writing partner Margaret is also working on her own YA series, "Icons," whose first installment is due spring 2013. The novel "set 16 years after an alien invasion, follows a group of teenagers who become swept up in a resistance movement looking to unseat the extraterrestrials who've taken control of the planet."
Looks like we have plenty of Kindle fodder to expect from these ladies in the coming years. Be sure to check back in 2013 for our casting suggestions for "Unbreakable." Because you know we'll be all over it.
