Alright, y’all, listen up because a major literary queen is rolling through Atlanta, and you absolutely do not want to miss this. The one and only Ava Reid, the genius behind some of our favorite dark fantasy reads, is making her way to Decatur to spill all the tea on her brand new YA dystopian masterpiece, Winterveil! Get ready to dive deep into a world where playing games turns into a full-blown war.
What can you expect when you get there? Ava will be joined by the lovely Jordan Ifueko, who will introduce us to the world of Winterveil. Imagine four precocious teenage criminals, each with dark skills and even darker secrets, getting a fresh start at a secret military academy in an alternate future where the Cold War is still raging. But instead of just training, they find themselves on a mysterious mission that will test everything, spark some romance, and possibly even end the world as they know it. Sounds like a wild ride, right?
After they drop all those juicy details, you’ll get to meet Ava herself during a signing line. This is your chance to get your copy of Winterveil personalized, and you can even bring one additional book for her to sign. So go ahead and pick out your favorite Ava Reid novel to bring along.
This event is perfect for a solo night out if you’re a bookworm looking to connect with a favorite author, or even a fun, intriguing date night if your boo is into dystopian thrillers. And for all the parents out there with young readers, this is a fantastic opportunity to introduce them to a brilliant author and a captivating story.
Now for the deets you need to plan your night. Mark your calendars for September 21, 2026, at 7:00 PM. We’ll be gathering at Holy Trinity Parish Episcopal Church, located at 515 East Ponce de Leon Avenue in Decatur.
Let’s talk tickets because you’ve got options. You can snag an Admission plus Book ticket for $25.00, which gets one reader into the event and includes a copy of Winterveil. If you’re feeling a little extra, there’s the Admission plus Deluxe Book ticket for $30.00. This one also admits one reader and includes a special Deluxe edition copy of Winterveil. And trust me, the deluxe edition sounds amazing with its color swapped and embossed jacket, intricately foiled case design, custom designed edges, and character portrait illustration endpapers. For parents or guardians bringing a young reader, there’s a Companion ticket for $5, but remember, this must be purchased with an Admission plus Book or Admission plus Deluxe book ticket. Clear those calendars and save your seat for what promises to be a very special evening!
