BALLAD: An Animated Storyboard Trailer by Maggie Stiefvater

This is a trailer for my October 1st release, BALLAD, a dark love story about a boy offered a dangerous deal by a faerie muse. I drew several hundred frames and composed the music for the trailer; the music ("Nuala") is played by me on harp, keyboard, whistle, & bodhran & and Kate Hummel on fiddle.

Ballad was BRILL!!!!!!! I seriously hope that you will write this sequel that exists in your head Maggie! No rush though, I never realised how long it takes to weave together a novel until I tried it xx

Is there any tin whistle sheet music to go with this song?

I am totally in love with your book trailers but this one is my favourite. The song and video are both beautiful.

Love it.

dancing to exhaustion

tearing my body asunder
