Omar Mtz says
YaY!!!! Pre-order done. Thank you!!!!
Andri/Kaylenn says
BEAUTIFUL!!!! =)
Tais S says
Wheeeeeee! One step closer <3
Cindy says
Looks fantastic. Gene’s covers are the best in the genre, in my opinion.
Cassandra says
Stunning.
Bookworm says
Amazing (and pre-order done)!!! I don’t do either Instagram or Twitter – but fantastic job by all!!
Mary Beth says
Beautiful. Everyone worked so hard. I can’t wait to read it.
JMH says
Wow what a great treat for the end of my very long day. Pre ordered! Now I can count down the days.
Christina says
And it looks quite fetching on my monitor. Thank you.
Brooke Travis says
I can’t wait! My husband is also a huge fan, but he only listens to the audiobooks. Is this one going to be recorded, too? If so, do you have any idea on when it might be available? He’s dying to get it. We both love your books so much. Thank you for sharing these wonderful stories with us. 😀
Ilona says
Yes, the audio is in the works. It might be a bit behind the e and print release, but it is coming.
Anne in Virginia says
Oh goody, delighted to hear there will be a print release too. I’ve already pre-ordered the e book and will also pre-order the print version as soon as it’s available. The cover artwork is wonderful. Since I don’t do Facebook or Instagram please pass on my admiration to all who participated in its creation.
Anne in Virginia
tylikcat says
Yay!
(I just spent a somewhat ridiculous amount of time determining that animated gifs that aren’t too large and that I know I have the rights to really aren’t the right mood. I need to work up some dancing slugs stat.)
Brooke Travis says
Thank you so much! Even if it’s behind the print and e books, it’s so worth the wait.
Erin says
Yay!!! Preorder done!
Tara says
So if I’ve learned anything about Ilona Andrews’ covers, it’s that everything means something. There’s falling oak and maple leaves, what looks like electrical wiring going to the castle, a suspicious looking tornado-like storm, and a not-charging-forward Hugh. Hmm… This is going to be some ride!
trailing wife says
Power lines down, lighting rods on the roof peaks of the fortress… It’s going to be an *interesting* story!
strangejoyce says
This cover looks AWESOME!!!!! Hugh looks broodingly sexy, and the White a Warlock looks as strong as I imagined. Boom! Preorder done! I’m so freaking psyched for this.
Ginkgo-girl says
Beautiful cover! I can’t wait to read it and am going to go preorder it right now!
Wes Dee says
Yes!! Bought! Waiting..
Leslie says
Beautifully awesome!!!!
Theresa Linger says
Love the cover. Will preorder as soon as Kobo gets it
Teresa Hughes says
Wow! Great cover. So glad to hear audio is coming.
Joanne says
Whoa! Dark and intense!! And I really loved seeing the end result versus the modeling!
Joanne says
And of course pre-ordered 🙂
Sarah says
Preordered. Thank you!!!
D_SA says
It could be a plain white page and I’d be happy because I can place a preorder. Woot for Blood and Magic!!!
D_SA says
Gah! Iron and Magic!!! And
Claudia says
The cover is stunning and absolute perfection! Have pre-ordered from amazon.ca — can’t wait!
Claudia says
PS Many thanks for the wallpaper!
Diane L says
Yowser! Hot cover! Heading over to pre-order . . . naturally. 😀
Kristine says
Just preordered from Kobo!!
Jennifer says
I buy at my local independent boomstore and they don’t do the preorder, but the day it hits shelves I will be the first in line! I have always liked Hugh. ?
Khara says
Hugh is giving me is giving me Hugh Jackman’s version of Van Helsing vibes.
Lp says
Spectacular! Simply spectacular! He’s the Hugh of my imagination.
Tessa says
The cover is very dark, but that suits Hugh pretty well. he hero standing like that makes me think of Inigo Montoya, and is ready for vengeance. That is a great thing. 🙂
Yeah pre-order!
Linda DeLeon-Campbell says
Pre-order made. Can’t wait to get the book.
Jen says
Great cover! Not quite how I imagined Hugh in my mind, but my mental pictures are always a bit skewed….
Courtney Mincy says
What I was thinking. Not quite how I pictured Hugh but I still love the cover.
Chris L says
It’s the hair, takes some getting used to
Ilona says
Read the excerpt. The long hair makes sense considering what he has been doing for the last few months. 🙂
Tara says
It’s not the length, it’s the bounce. Those are some unexpectedly luscious locks…
Takes a bit of getting used to- check.
Still absolutely love – check.
KR says
Awesome! Can’t wait!
Amanda P says
Love the cover. Congrats for all the hard work put ??
Preorder done for kindle on UK Amazon and I will get the audio later too
Amy says
This is a full-length book that’s part of a trilogy??! I though t it was just a novella or 1 stand-alone. whaaa?!?!?!
trailing wife says
They just can’t help themselves — Sweep of the Blade was intended to be a novella, too, and we’re getting a second trilogy out of Hidden Legacy…. As long as stories occur to them and life lets them write, we’re the beneficiaries.
Michelle says
I really love how the relationships develop when it’s a trilogy. No ridiculous insta-love. Everything feels much more organic and meaningful.
I just re-read HL and restarted kate yesterday. The way those relationships develop are awesome!
kommiesmom says
And we like it. We get “invested” in the people and their world(s) and we don’t want to leave…
Patricia Schlorke says
Awesome cover! I’m not on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram, so please pass on the great job to everyone message. ?
I’ll check to see if I can pre-order on Barnes and Noble after writing this reply. If I can, I will. Yippee!
Patricia Schlorke says
Not up yet on Barnes and Noble yet. I’ll check them tomorrow.
Jenn says
??
Holly C says
Love the artwork and am looking forward to anything you write.
Jan_nl says
The cover is fabulous! The models and mood are striking. I have pre-ordered; can’t wait.
Jill Smith says
Ooooh. Gorgeous!
Jessica Winn says
Sweet! I love it! The models and artist did great. very cool. Clicked and ordered. 😀
wont says
That cover promises a lot! I’ll be checking B&N hourly! And, the best part (for me), it’s a trilogy!!! Wheeee!!!
mdy says
Once I got over the shock of seeing Hugh’s hair (since I still remember the behind-the-scenes video earlier), I have to say I quite love it. All that red on the cover makes it feel bloody and dangerous.
A question: is there a reason we don’t outright say “Book 1 of the Iron Covenant Trilogy” on the cover? I ask because I’ve experienced buying a book (not by our authors here) thinking it was a standalone work, only to be (not pleasantly) surprised to learn that it’s actually part of a series. The book itself was great and I ended up getting the rest of the series, but it was a mismatch in expectations that could have been avoided by proper labeling.
Looking forward to the release date!
MeggsH says
!!!! Pre order done! Awesome cover. I hope I don’t offend when I say I like these and the latest Kate covers soooo much better than the Legacy covers. (Even though Legacy is my favorite series) Hugh totally fits what I have always imagined him to look like. Zoomed in on Elara- she reminds me of Belle from Once Upon a Time with white hair. She’s fierce! They look awesome.
Soooo …Trilogy ehh. I’m so intrigued how that story is gonna play out against the wrap up of Kate 10. Might we get some cross over/cameos from Kate’s digs even after wrap up or is this gonna be pretty solidly stand alone series in the same world?
Either way I’m totally there…just curious 🙂
Amy Ann says
Smokin’ hot! Love the juxtaposition of the dark brooding and the powerful light. Intense!
vinity says
I LOVE this cover. LOVE! It’s my favorite of all your covers.
I know it’s only a chance but crossing my fingers the audio reader is Grace Draven’s MOC guy.
kommiesmom says
Cover is fabulous. I am going to go ruin my book budget for this book. I already had a book ordered for the 26th. Oh, well, “it’s only money.” And it’s worth it. I will get the ebook from Amazon and the hard copy from Murder by the Book. (I can preorder there, too, but it’s more time consuming.)
Thank you for your usual fabulous job. I’m going to enjoy the dickens out of this book!
Michelle says
Books, food, books, food……..Who needs to eat, I’m sure we can all afford to skip a few meals!
vinity says
Oh yes, WILL Murder by Book have dead tree books? I know it’s a self pub print on demand?
Tamara says
Bam! Order is in. Whoo hoo,
Angel Mercury says
Can’t wait to read it! Already have a day off booked in. Looking forward to a great relax day *^.^*
Alex R. says
Just hoping that Ilona and Gordon aren’t super hardcore April fools fans and set all of this up just to say “Ha! Gotcha!!! April fools!!!”
I mean, who has time to write another book with all that’s going on in their lives??
I’m not being an Eyore. I swear.
mz says
Pre-ordered. Of course. Was there any doubt?
p.s. I am loving the Sweep story with Atlanta and Maud. I’m sorry if I missed this but will it come out as an e-book in the end?
mz says
Danged predictive text! ARLAND. (Sheesh)
trailing wife says
Yes to the e-book, mz.
Carter says
Not really how I see the characters in my head but I really love the background. The colors really pop and give you a a feel of the conflict brewing. Such a great use of detail. Can’t wait to get my hands on the book.
Candle says
That’s pretty much how I feel about it too.
Mu says
Yep, me too, being very sensitive and diplomatic about it….
I am sure the book will be ace !!!
Tiff says
all this thing. It’s a shame the art has made the model look _less_ athletic, but it’s a kindle book so!
Debi mccarthy says
Hugh is supposed to be this muscular, powerful guy. Perhaps the costume hides the model’s physique. The background and atmospherics are great.
Elaine says
Remember he has been cut off from Roland’s power for a while (at least one year?) He has also been doing nothing but drinking and feeling sorry for himself for months. That all is bound to show.
Tiff says
I meant Elara, hugh is all covered with armour and that. The hugh is obviously prettier than headcanon but the elara depiction is the most jatring for me. It’s a book cover though and given that, it’s pretty great. A lot of scifi/fantasy covers bear no resemblance at all to the content..
Ilona says
The characters as portrayed on the cover are true to the content of the book. Hugh is handsome but not well groomed. Elara is not particularly athletic and wears dresses. 🙂 Given that we wrote the cannon, we are the ultimate authority on it.
Tiff says
I thought she boinged around the woods all spiderman like – but actually she does it with magic doesn’t she!
M says
Will preorder right now! I am looking forward to it. I know there can be no guarantees, but will Renee Raudman be the narrator or did you find somebody else?
Vala says
I’m so excited! Love the models, great cover!
Teresa says
Oh Yeah I agree. The models are great. Swoon oh wow
Verslint says
Awesome cover, check
Suspenseful story we’ve been teased with, check…
Pre-order? Hell yes!
Thank you so much! Yay!

I think the preorder goes live alittle later on. The uk amazon site. Week look out for it.
Brilliant cover. Very dark and mysterious
trailing wife says
Clearly the Amazon (USA) pre-order button is working perfectly on day 2 of the pre-sale:
Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #29 Paid in Kindle Store (See Top 100 Paid in Kindle Store)
#1 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Romance > Paranormal > Witches & Wizards
#1 in Books > Romance > Paranormal
#1 in Books > Science Fiction & Fantasy > Fantasy > Romantic
Congratulations to our favourite authors, to their effective agent, to their wise publishers, to the models, photographers, and artists involved in making that clothed cover (they heard the complaints about the shirtless Hidden Legacy ones, and responded), and congratulations to us, who are getting a Kate Daniels spin-off trilogy out of an April Fools Day joke. Life is very good, indeed.
Ronette says

Patricia Schlorke says
Now if Barnes and Noble would get the book up on its website for pre-order………..
Frances says
Yes this. The depiction of Hugh is perfect, except I too have somehow never pictured him with such long hair, but I’m ready to adapt to that (I’ve been abstaining from the snippets because I want to the book to be a surprise for me). The cloak, the sword, the humongous hands, the dark smouldering intense stare. Looks like Hugh to me.
Verslint says
You have much, much more willpower than I will ever have…. I see a snippet and do my funky convulsing chicken dance whilst screaming my head off and then promptly devour whatever has been written.
I can see the appeal of waiting, really I can, I just can’t manage that level of self control…
Verslint says
And yes, he does have a magnificent :ahem: sword, doesn’t he?
Solntse says
Awesome! Very intense.
Bibliovore says
Ordered. Now to sleep. Will have day off to read book when released.
Louise says
It looks awesome. Great cover
Elenariel says
Yeeeee! Thank you! ??
It will be avaliable in paperback too?
Paroma says
Definitely. It’s set to be a proper trilogy and they’re doing it through an agency. Now my only concern is how quickly they can produce the audiobook. XD
P.S. No pressure, Authorlords, we know you just got done submitting the final Draft. We can happily stew a few months in anticipation.
Joan says
Looks great + can’t wait to read it ?
Tink says
3 am and couldn’t sleep. Saw the email about a new blog post, jumped on, clicked the preorder link. Score!
BTW, it’s already #1 in several Kindle categories, and it’s only been up for a few hours. The Horde has voted!
Kris says
Oh my. Hugh wasn’t this hot in my head. Been eagerly awaiting the preorder button. Fabulous cover! Just goes to show that your covers would be awesome if you were allowed to do them yourselves 😉
TKD says
Oh Hugh was definitely that hot in my head, though I was imagining his hair much shorter or maybe pulled back. However, due to what happened prior to this book, I can see why he looks more disheveled.
Zirraella says
*squeeeeeeeee*
Love the cover!
Lia says
The image as a whole is gorgeous. I’m just not too sure about the male model’s hairstyle. Andy Peeke is a gorgeous lad, but this long do doesn’t do anything for him. On Insta, he still has short hair, so this is either a wig or it is photoshopped on? Just wished they kept his hair the way it was.
But other than that, it’s great.
Jan_nl says
…..but Hugh has long hair so it matches the description. Hugh is also described as handsome so that fits too ? I know some folks are saying the cover doesn’t fit the image they created in their mind’s eye when reading the book – that is pretty normal — but Andy Peeke, with short or long hair, works for me ?
tylikcat says
And there is the convention that for cover shots people have their hair all loose and flowing, whether this would be practical for them on any kind of regular basis.
Patricia Schlorke says
Fabio has a lot of explaining to do. 😀
tylikcat says
Drama! Flowing things! It’s right up there with clothing blowing dramatically in the wind. And heavens knows that women being pictured/filmed with their hair loose is part of our visual language. I for one am all for equal opportunity hair porn. (Especially considering how disreputable and forbidding he looks. Also, I want to steal his coat…!)
Frances says
I want his coat and his sword. 😀
Sharon says
Wow – awesome art and bam; pre-ordered.
Only 48 or 49 sleeps to go (in Australia).
Henry says
I get what the cover’s message is sending about place. The place is in Kate’s Universe. Magic up, rips things up. Magic down, we can drive to town. Yes, very well done.
Caro says
Wow!!!!
What news to wake up to and of course preordered directly- one thing off my to do list.
And congratulations for turning in the manuscript with so much else going on- amazing things coming our way that you hinted at like the tunnel, the moat, the big battle, and the whole book really, sigh…
Cover is fascinating to behold after seeing your posts on its production it really shows how much creative energy went into this from everyone involved.
Lorrie says
+1!
Betul says
LOVE IT! I am super excited about this book!
Judy B says
I don’t know how to twitter or instagram,,, but that is a lovely cover..
Thank you.
Susan Ivey says
WOW! Love it! Can’t wait!
Love Elara! Hugh doesn’t have a chance!
Lauryn M says
Preorder done. LOVE this cover and the interpretation of Hugh for where he’s been in recent months. Love the thematic elements and mood. So much smolder!! Powers of light and dark. Can hardly wait for release. I am on IG under my studio name and will pop over to root for each of them with my thanks. This is fabulous. Hugh’s story, at last. Thank you!!!
Christine says
Awesome ?
I imaged Hugh with short hair but since his split with Roland I guess he’s gone a little wild ? but I like it. Elara looks just as I imagined.
Anne in Virginia says
Just wondered, will there be a way to buy a print of the cover, suitable for framing? I know David Mattingly sells signed and numbered prints of covers he does for Baen. I’ve bought a couple of them that were from books in Sharon Lee and Steve Miller’s Liaden series that I especially liked and I especially like the cover of IRON AND MAGIC. It would make a nifty framed print. Do you have a link to the cover artist to inquire or do you own the full rights to the artwork print yourselves?
Anne in Virginia
PS I checked Amazon first thing this morning and IRON AND MAGIC is #37 in the top 100 kindle sales and #1 in all three of its sub categories. Wow, we the BDH are mighty and had a busy evening pre-ordering.
Michelle says
Now it is #23 in paid kindle sales and #1 in all sub-categories.
Lindrine says
I really like their poses and the colors and layout. It will really stand out!
Jenn says
Wow! Really see the intensity… Awesome!
Marianne says
Very dramatic and arresting cover! Definitely sets a mood!! So excited about the book, and can’t wait to see what delicious surprises you have in store for us in it! Glad to see how well it is doing in the rankings already. The BDH has spoken, hear us roar!!! ?
Deb says
WOW!
BelleBok says
Wow! Love be the cover. Very edgy and definitely can see the conflict brewing.
…And did you say a trilogy? Yaay!
Jane says
Hugh’s giving off a darker vibe than I ever imagined – me likey!!! I always imagined him as more military/uptight in appearance. Sorry if I missed a previous post – any update on audiobook narrators?
Lisa says
Yes!!!!!! Any idea when preorder for audible will be available?
Lynsey says
Love it! Cover Hugh is more brooding and forbidding than anticipated but that’s not a bad thing!!! Just pre ordered on Amazon UK! Yay!!
Jan_nl says
Iron & Magic is flying off the virtual shelf in Canada, in less than 24 hours. We are a small population, but with many voracious readers. I imagine BS Rank number will only get higher as news gets out. Congratulations.

CONGRATULATIONS on finishing and the FABULOUS cover!!! SO looking forward to it!!
Tiger Lily says
I love her corset or whatever is on her dress. It makes it look like armor.
sarafina says
Are you doing a signing at Murder By The Book or in Austin?
Lyuba says
Thank you Ilona and Gordon for sharing the photo shoot for the cover. It’s fascinating to see how the process works. I can see the photo shoot pictures in my mind’s eye and see how they were the basis for the cover art. So cool!
Gloria Magid says
Love the cover – really sets the time for the book. Looking forward to reading it. Have preordered, of course!
Gloria Magid says
Sigh… Time => tone
Autocorrect is not my friend!
Caroline says
Just pre-order on Kobo Canada : https://www.kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/iron-and-magic
thanks
Lora Tyler says
I am so happy to have ordered. Thank you so much. The models are gorgeous. I appreciate all their hard work too.
Cynthia says
Wowww ……
I remember your post about the photo shoot and your description of the models/positions. WOW ? they did a really job !!!!
PS I don’t have Instagram or Twitter, could you just pass along my WOW ? for me?
Cynthia says
really ‘Great ‘ job
Darn computer!
Tink says
“PS I don’t have Instagram or Twitter, could you just pass along my WOW ? for me?”
Me, too!
Cynthia says
Ilona, I tried to take your test you had posted on your Blog the other day, but since I’m not on any of those accounts I was unable to complete it. Sorry ?, it was good of you to try to include us in the fun anyway.
Cynthia says
I finally figured out why I didn’t get a result on the quiz/test posted on the Blog, I must of missed one of the questions, so I didn’t get my place in Kate’s world the other day when I first tried. Now I know …… The Pack.
Patti McGhie says
As soon as I saw the picture, I focused on Hugh’s nose and immediately thought about Kate breaking it during their sparring bout. Ouch! Great cover. Can’t wait to read the book. I could never see Hugh as a redeemable character, but from the snippets, I’ve definitely reconsidered.
Cessie says
Lovely cover! Tho I was curious how the sticking out leg pose that was in video was going to be translated into the cover. Did not get to see that. Nice job everybody. Thank you and Authorlords and team.
Patience says
You must be so happy to “birth” this baby. Very excited to see what this new series is all about. Another awesome job by our benevolent Authorlords!
KathyInAiken says
Sorry, but I haven’t figured out how to Twitter or Instagram, but I really like the cover.
Thank you Gena Mollica; the images are enough to pull me into the story even without IA name on it.
Andy Peeke, you make me wonder if I had Hugh wrong all this time, but still look menacing enough to leave some doubt.
Jam Murphy, I love your look; you look as if your character could give Hugh a run for his life!
Natanya Wheeler, thank you for all the design elements. The cover is beautiful.
Fan in California says
If you could give us a heads up when the print version is available that would be fantastic!!!!!!
wont says
The Barnes and Noble pre-order link is up and running. Checked that off my list of to-dos!!! Yeah!!
Patricia Schlorke says
It is?! I just checked, I don’t see it.
Patricia Schlorke says
For all Nook lovers out there…for me to find Iron and Magic on B&N’s website I had to search under “Iron and Magic” instead of Ilona Andrews. Wont is correct…the link is up. 😀
Pre-ordered…boom! By the way, B&N thinks I have great taste for pre-ordering the book. I think so too.
GailinPgh says
I like the cover. It is fun to see after the sneak peek at the photo shoot. I think the models are believable as these characters.
Also, I’m thrilled they are wearing clothes.
MagicTrix says
The video footage had Elara in front, but I think it is appropriate that, dastardly villain though he is (er, was?), Hugh should be in front for the first book. We know something about him, we’ve never met her. Maybe we have despised him, and his actions, but he has always stood out among the rest.
Simone says
Wowzers! Great cover – gorgeous guy, gorgeous gal, love the whole look. Great job by all involved. Already preordered. Can’t wait!
lada says
Congratulations!! I know you’ve worked hard on both the manuscript and putting together a great book including this cover and I hope the sales reflect proper BDH appreciation.
FYI: I have money at BNN that I’m trying to burn through so thought what a great opportunity to pre-order your books from there but it’s not working for me. I tried ordering Diamond Fire weeks ago and there it still sits, in my cart. Tried again just now and same thing happened with both books even though it seems like my pre-order went through. So don’t know if you feel like your pre-order sales through BNN are low but there is something whacked with their system.
lada says
Seems like it’s working for others so I’ll keep trying!!
ReneeG says
What a fabulous cover!! And I think I broke my one-click finger, hitting the button so hard . . . .
June is going to be AWESOME!!
monica martin says
Right?! One clicked that bad boy!
Claudia C says
Yeah! Ditto one click!!
Audible coming????
Chico Laura says
Wow.
Shlomi says
Pre-ordered. 105k, huh? Wow!
Maria says
Love the cover!!!! Can’t wait.
🙂
MMD says
Urban fantasy no 1 bestseller on amazon Uk already ?
Gretchen says
Gorgeous cover! The characters look perfect, exactly as I would picture them, with Hugh looking handsome, but battle- and life-hardened. So many times there’s what looks like a 22 year old GQ model on covers. Same with Elara – they took a young, pretty model and made her look a little older, sexier, and mysterious. Great job Gene Mollica, and Ilona and Gordon!
Carolinareader says
Love the cover but I am focused on that lovely word “trilogy”
Sue says
awesome – it just oozes “power”
Ellen Z says
Can’t wait for the book. Not wild about the cover. All the loose, bushy hair seems all wrong for a swordsman.
Charisn says
Ditto
Nina says
Me too. I’m sorry but it’s not my favorite. I like the new Kate covers – they’re “real” somehow, this one is a little like the first Kate covers.
And I loved the models. I just don’t buy the outcome.
Maybe it’s just that the Hugh I pictured in my mind looks completely different and Elara in my imagination looks more sharp.
For me they don’t look real and I’m not the fan of the whole red around them.
But I’m a big fan of all your books so I will buy this one too for sure 🙂
Kathlyn says
Yes. He doesn’t look like the high in my head either. But I kinda like it. But I do want to attack him with a hair brush. 🙂
Sarah says
I can’t wait to read Hugh’s story, I’m even more excited by the idea that it’s the start of a trilogy too! So many exciting books to look forward to from you guys 🙂
I’m assuming it’s because this is self published that the paperback isn’t available for preorder? If memory serves me correctly the paperback usually appears just before or on release day but I’ll definitely be watching for it & I’ll probably end up getting the kindle version too so I don’t have to wait to read it LOL
Rohaise says
Wow! What an amazing, intense cover. I was a bit torn about this becoming a real novel. Loved the April fools joke, but a real book? With Hugh? The snippets were winning me over and now with this cover I can’t wait.
Charisn says
I know you hate cover comments but I kinda miss the guy from the April’s Fool day cover. I have a thing for arm muscles!
Doc Jules, were-unicorn wannabe says
Pre ordered here on UK Amazon, can’t wait!
Chachic says
What an awesome cover! I can’t wait to read it ??
Tonya says
Love how both characters look real. Not a stick thin female with giant gravity-defying boobs.
Verslint says
I just remembered something….
https://ilona-andrews.com/friend-news-the-hair-the-hair/
Pfft, you finally got yourself a well-conditioned flowing locks male to write about! Hugh really did grow out his hair!
Karen says
Heh heh. It had to happen eventually, and this was THE book to do it in 😉
Karen says
Loving Elara! Her pose and outfit are awesome and so much character and strength in her close up. Hugh’s costume is fabulous and the close up is smoulder-licious. Can already picture them snarling at each other toe to toe…
mj says
Oh boy. That is one gorgeous cover. I can’t come up with a single complaint. And I tried. 😀
Jenn says
I re-read the Giant Excerpt last night and like the cover art even more. ?
momcat says
Oh Holy! What a cover! Elena is just right. But Hugh? You really, really should have set him up as Raphael.
Melissa says
Which site will give you the most royalties? Amazon, Smashwords, B&N, or another site? I want to buy from whoever will give you the biggest piece of pie on June 26th. 🙂
Vwiles says
I found the release date on the Amazon pre-order link (June 26, 2018 ), but I’d love to see a place on the drop down menu for Up and Coming works in progress so that when there’s a lot coming up I can check on upcoming release dates etc without combing back though the posts after I forget. For example I think I pre-ordered the linking novella coming next in the burn for me series, but I can’t find the post to check for a date. Might y’all consider such a link? I know there’s supposed to be something like it, but the up-coming book and novella information often doesn’t show up under Books.? Maybe it’s because I have to use the mobile website?
