Robin Wasserman sold the YA The Book of Blood and Shadow to Erin Clarke at Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers, as part of a two-book deal handled by agent Barry Goldblatt. The book is “about a girl who, upon discovering her best friend murdered and her boyfriend the apparent killer, is caught up in a dangerous world of competing secret societies, all searching for the Luminus Dei, an ancient device that will supposedly allow direct communication with God.” Knopf expects to publish it in Autumn 2011.
Wasserman, a former editor, is the author of the Skinned trilogy, Hacking Harvard, Chasing Yesterday, and Seven Deadly Sins.
