Dear Readers, I can't tell you how excited I am. My next book has a cover and it's awesome!
The artwork was created by Oliva Pro Design, who does book covers and logos on Fiverr. I highly recommend her work. She also created the cover art for The Unwinding House and The Whisper, as well as the art for my friend Theresa Howard's The Reluctant Empress.
The Blood Prayer isn't up for preorder quite yet (I'll let you know when), but for all you Goodreads users out there, please click on through and hit that "Want to Read" button!
The Blood Prayer drops on ebook and in print on or about June 1. Here's the blurb:
The end of the world starts with a celebration.
Led by the greatest heroes of the age, Majadan’s army has driven back the hordes of the Madlands – or so the city’s protectors believe. In welcoming their soldiers home, they allow a foe inside the city gates more powerful than any they could imagine, an evil dark enough to end history itself, greeted with cheers and open arms.
Aust is a young man fleeing from his past, hiding in plain
sight as a minstrel for a mercenary guild. His knowledge of Majadan’s secret
ways has saved his life before, but this time he isn’t on his own. When the
powers of Hell are set loose in the streets, Aust becomes a guide for a
desperate band of survivors:
Eris, a warrior fighting to prove her worth; Vandal, a soldier
without a cause or country; Jago, a man-wolf caught in a fight not his own; Moth,
a nomad girl who is not entirely human; and Jenin, an elemental priestess from
the Wild, haunted by sorrow and searching for a reason to die.
When confronted by an enemy that cannot be defeated, they
will each be forced to choose between their honor and their lives. The world
they know has drowned in blood and fire. The battle for the city of Majadan has
begun.
