Damsel movie release date!
Netflix news!
BIG NEWS! Netflix finally announced that DAMSEL the movie (starring Millie Bobby Brown) will hit screens later this year on October 13th!
You won't have to wait that long, though, to read DAMSEL the novel. My book collaboration with Netflix goes on sale on March 14th, less than 2 months from now!
Of course, I also have two more books coming out this year... And since it's hard even for me to keep track, here are release dates and pre-order links for you in case you want them:
DAMSEL (fantasy, adult & YA) - March 14, 2023
PRINCESS PRIVATE EYE (Disney princess, middle grade) - May 2, 2023
THE HUNDRED LOVES OF JULIET (adult fiction) - August 1, 2023
In the meantime, I'm busy working on two new books for 2024. Have I mentioned lately how much I love writing stories for you?
I hope your 2023 is off to a great start. And to those of you who celebrate it, Happy Lunar New Year!

Book Description:
Elodie never dreamed of a lavish palace or a handsome prince. Growing up in the famine-stricken realm of Inophe, her deepest wish was to help her people survive each winter. So when a representative from a rich, reclusive kingdom offers her family enough wealth to save Inophe in exchange for Elodie’s hand in marriage, she accepts without hesitation. Swept away to the glistening kingdom of Aurea, Elodie is quickly taken in by the beauty of the realm—and of her betrothed, Prince Henry.
But as Elodie undertakes the rituals to become an Aurean princess, doubts prick at her mind as cracks in the kingdom’s perfect veneer begin to show: A young girl who appears and vanishes from the castle tower. A parade of torches weaving through the mountains. Markings left behind in a mysterious “V.” Too late, she discovers that Aurea’s prosperity has been purchased at a heavy cost—each harvest season, the kingdom sacrifices its princesses to a hungry dragon. And Elodie is the next sacrifice.
This ancient arrangement has persisted for centuries, leading hundreds of women to their deaths. But the women who came before Elodie did not go quietly. Their blood pulses with power and memory, and their experiences hold the key to Elodie’s survival. Forced to fight for her life, this damsel must use her wits to defeat a dragon, uncover Aurea’s past, and save not only herself,
but the future of her new kingdom as well.
~A damsel in distress takes on the dragon herself in this epic twist on classic fantasy. Based on a screenplay by Dan Mazeau, this is a groundbreaking collaboration between New York Times bestselling author Evelyn Skye and the team behind the upcoming Netflix film Damsel, starring Millie Bobby Brown.~
Evelyn Skye is a New York Times bestselling author of books for adults and young adults. Her highly anticipated forthcoming novels include Damsel (which will soon be a Netflix film starring Millie Bobby Brown, Robin Wright, and Angela Bassett) and The Hundred Loves of Juliet.
Evelyn is a graduate of Stanford University and Harvard Law School. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and daughter.
