This awesome event was pulled together by Danielle L. Jensen & Angry Robot Books in celebration of Hidden Huntress‘ recent release on June 2nd. Now that you’ve had the chance to read it (or that you’re about to) we would love for you to join in on the fun and share your love for The Malediction Trilogy through ART!
Here’s what Danielle L. Jensen has to say about the competition:
“I am insanely excited about The Malediction Trilogy art contest! There is no greater compliment than knowing my stories have inspired someone’s artwork, and I LOVE when people share those images with me. I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with.”
Hear, hear!
But if you haven’t heard about this wonderful series, here’s the info about the first two books:
For five centuries, a witch’s curse has bound the trolls to their city beneath the ruins of Forsaken Mountain. Time enough for their dark and nefarious magic to fade from human memory and into myth. But a prophesy has been spoken of a union with the power to set the trolls free, and when Cécile de Troyes is kidnapped and taken beneath the mountain, she learns there is far more to the myth of the trolls than she could have imagined.
Cécile has only one thing on her mind after she is brought to Trollus: escape. Only the trolls are clever, fast, and inhumanly strong. She will have to bide her time, wait for the perfect opportunity.
But something unexpected happens while she’s waiting – she begins to fall for the enigmatic troll prince to whom she has been bonded and married. She begins to make friends. And she begins to see that she may be the only hope for the half-bloods – part troll, part human creatures who are slaves to the full-blooded trolls. There is a rebellion brewing. And her prince, Tristan, the future king, is its secret leader.
As Cécile becomes involved in the intricate political games of Trollus, she becomes more than a farmer’s daughter. She becomes a princess, the hope of a people, and a witch with magic powerful enough to change Trollus forever.
Beneath the mountain, the king’s reign of tyranny is absolute; the one troll with the capacity to challenge him is imprisoned for treason. Cécile has escaped the darkness of Trollus, but she learns all too quickly that she is not beyond the reach of the king’s power. Or his manipulation.Recovered from her injuries, she now lives with her mother in Trianon and graces the opera stage every night. But by day she searches for the witch who has eluded the trolls for five hundred years. Whether she succeeds or fails, the costs to those she cares about will be high.
To find Anushka, she must delve into magic that is both dark and deadly. But the witch is a clever creature. And Cécile might not just be the hunter. She might also be the hunted…

You can draw Marc, perhaps? (See my not-so-great unfinished attempt on the left) Or our swoon-worthy Tristan? Oh, we would also love to see how you picture Anaïs and the twins!
I have no artistic talent whatsoever, so I’m not sure how I’d do at this; but I’ll definitely have to consider maybe doing a digital drawing. Thanks for sharing this amazing contest Melissa – what a fabulous way to promote the book! ♥
