Book News: All the details on 'Changeling' the first YA novel from Philippa Gregory!

Changeling, the first in a four book series entitled Order of Darkness signals Philippa Gregory's highly anticipated entrance into the Young Adult market. Changeling will be released simultaneously  in the US and UK in May 2012. I've always been a fan of Gregory's historical fiction, and I can't wait to see what she brings to the YA market. There's a wealth of great YA historical fiction out there already, but Gregory's addition to the fold can only make things better!

The  Changeling cover art and excerpt  were exclusively revealed on USA Today a couple days back, but if you missed that announcement, you can check it out here now. Let me know what you think!

Changeling is set in 1453; 17-year-old Luca Vero has been expelled from his monastery and recruited by a stranger to record the end of times across Europe. On his journey, he meets 17-year-old Isolde, a lady abbess who has been trapped in a nunnery to prevent her claiming her rich inheritance.
