HARPER SUMMER 2016 TOUR: United As One (Lorien Legacies #7)



Hey everyone! It's my turn to feature another one of HarperTEEN's amazing summer titles. Have you been checking out the books on this tour so far? Can you believe all the amazing books that are coming out this summer from HarperTEEN? My featured book - UNITED AS ONE by Pittacus Lore - is one of them.

Check out everything you need to know about United As One, and then keep going for the rest of the awesomesauce. There are a ridiculous amount of giveaways in this post. Read all the way to the end so that you know how to enter all three giveaways. Yep - I said THREE. Oh - and you'll need to know the secret word for one of them. It will appear later in the post (hint - it will appear in green).



United As One (Lorien Legacies #7), by Pittacus Lore
Publish Date: June 28, 2016
Publisher: HarperTEEN
Genre: young adult fantasy
To Pre-Order: Amazon * Barnes & Noble

(From Goodreads) The Mogadorian invasion has come to Earth, and they have all but won the battle for our planet. Their warships loom over our most populous cities—like New York City, Tokyo, Moscow, Beijing, and New Delhi—and no army will risk making a move against them. The Garde are all that stand in their way . . . but they are no longer alone in this fight. Human teens from across the globe, like John Smith’s best friend, Sam Goode, have begun to develop Legacies of their own.


The Garde have always known there is power in numbers. If they can find these new allies and join forces with them, they just might be able to win this war. The time has come for the Garde to make their final stand.


TO THE PEOPLE OF EARTH:

There are mysteries in human history for which there are no apparent explanations. There are unexplained jumps in the development of human technology. No one can explain things like the lost City of Atlantis, the Loch Ness monster, the Bermuda Triangle, and, of course, crop circles and UFOs. The explanation for these, and many other of Earth’s mysteries, is that aliens have been visiting your planet, and influencing events, for as long as the planet has existed.

I am Pittacus Lore. I am from the Planet Lorien, three hundred million miles away. I am one of ten Elders who lived on our planet. I am ten thousand years old. Everyone on Lorien was gifted. We are incredibly strong, incredibly fast, and we are born with powers called legacies. Despite our powers, the Elders, responsible for the defense of our planet, failed.

Lorien has been destroyed. Our entire population was killed, except for nine children and their nine guardians. The Nine fled to earth, where we hoped they would be able to hide and grow, to develop their Legacies and one day avenge the loss of Lorien. Unfortunately, the same race that destroyed Lorien followed them to Earth. They have been hunting the children and have killed three of them. The six that are still alive have started fighting back. Our war has come to your planet, and it will either be won or lost here.

I am telling the story of Lorien, the Nine, and the war at hand so you do not allow the same thing that happened to us happen to you. I am trying to find the Nine and unite them. They may be walking past you right now, or sitting near you, or watching you as you read this. They may be in your city, your town. If they are doing what they are supposed to be doing, they are living anonymously, training, and waiting for the day when they will find each other, and me, and we will make our last stand together.
