Heart of Valor was originally published in 1990 in hardcover, and for many years was the most difficult LJS book to find. It didn’t have a specific UK release, and many fans (including yours truly) didn’t know it existed until they had joined one of the many LJS e-mail clubs and saw someone post about it.
Like Night of the Solstice, it was published in hardcover and paperback in North America, and had a dubious reprint in 2008. 2010 marks the first time (to the best of my knowledge) that UK is getting its own edition—with the U in “valour”. (I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to edit the U out, grumbling all the while.) And as with Night of the Solstice, the new UK Heart of Valour shuns a lot of the current YA cover conventions and goes from imagery that—gasp!—actually has relevance to the novel. Be still my fannish heart. I haven’t found any good sales for it yet (I imagine the different spelling may cause some problems for internet searches), but I’ll tweet about any I find.
