Happy New Year, everyone! As it's now 2025, I can officially say: It's THE ASHFIRE KING's release year! 🥺🎉
This sequel is by far the most difficult thing I've ever written and I am *so* excited to finally share it this April. I might just cry when I see it on the shelves next to Book 1.

When I was a buyer at a large indie, my rule of thumb was:
1 preorder: huh, let me take a closer look at this one
2 preorders: we need to stock this book
3 preorders: we should order enough to face this out
4+ preorders: this should be on front-of-store display
1 preorder: huh, let me take a closer look at this one

More detail: When booksellers get pre-orders, it's a quantitative and qualitative signal that there is like *something here* about a book. The avalanche of new books out there is hard to communicate if you're not in the industry, and pre-orders are one of vanishingly few signals. It is a real thing!
The thing about pre-orders: If you pre-order thru an indie bookstore (which generally doesn't cost you up-front!) it is HUGE for the lifeblood of the book, it is a boost to authors, the publisher, and the booksellers who steward this life. It's a little thing but it's meaningful should this inspire!

WHAT WAKES THE BELLS is a YA dark fantasy about a magical bell keeper, the vengeful saint she unleashes, and the sentient gothic city that turns on its inhabitants. It's out March 11 and it's got tiny little slivers of my heart in it, so be gentle with it please.

My debut VESUVIUS comes out in less than 200 days 🫢
Set in the final days of Pompeii, two boys must untangle myth, magic, and memory to stop the destruction before it starts. This is a meet-cute with an explosive fallout.

Hi everyone!
I’m Chelsea Abdullah, author of THE STARDUST THIEF, an Arab-inspired epic fantasy that’s a love letter to oral storytelling & to the tales I grew up with as an American-Kuwaiti writer.
My sequel, THE ASHFIRE KING, is out Apr 15, 2025. I’m working on Book #3. It’s great to be here! 💫
