The Anti- Trailer?

So, when my friend asked me if "#Stormdancer" had a trailer and I answered "Not that I know of", I really didn't expect to see what she linked me to afterwards. This is hilarious and in true Jay Kristoff fashion. I really enjoyed it!

Synopsis:
A DYING LAND
The Shima Imperium verges on the brink of environmental collapse; an island nation once rich in tradition and myth, now decimated by clockwork industrialization and the machine-worshipers of the Lotus Guild. The skies are red as blood, the land is choked with toxic pollution, and the great spirit animals that once roamed its wilds have departed forever.

AN IMPOSSIBLE QUEST
The hunters of Shima’s imperial court are charged by their Shōgun to capture a thunder tiger—a legendary creature, half-eagle, half-tiger. But any fool knows the beasts have been extinct for more than a century, and the price of failing the Shōgun is death.

A SIXTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL
Yukiko is a child of the Fox clan, possessed of a talent that if discovered, would see her executed by the Lotus Guild. Accompanying her father on the Shōgun’s hunt, she finds herself stranded: a young woman alone in Shima’s last wilderness, with only a furious, crippled thunder tiger for company. Even though she can hear his thoughts, even though she saved his life, all she knows for certain is he’d rather see her dead than help her.

But together, the pair will form an indomitable friendship, and rise to challenge the might of an empire.

Stormdancer was released in Australia/NZ on September 3rd and will be released in the UK on September 13th and in the US on September 18th.

  1. If the synopsis hadn't sold me, the "anti-trailer" definitely did. We both know that I had planned to read it, but this just sealed the deal. So funny!
