An Ancient Evil
Long
ago, Etanun buried his sword in the depths of the Netherworld then
vanished from all known history. One day, it is said, his heir will find the
sword, and the Dragonwitch, firstborn of the Dragon King, will be finally
slain.
A Desperate Hope
These
stories are no more than nursery rhymes. In a world of cold reality, what room
is left for fairy tales? Lady Leta of Aiven is pledged to marry a man she does not love
. . . sleepless Lord Alistair struggles to unite the stubborn earls of the
North Country . . . Mouse is lost, far from home, slaving as a kitchen drudge .
. .
. . . and
the reclusive Chronicler, keeping the records of Gaheris Castle, bears a secret
so dangerous it could cost him his life and plunge the North Country into civil
war.
An Impossible Journey
But
when nursery rhymes begin to come horribly true, will these unlikely heroes
find the strength they need to fulfill a prophecy of fire? For the Dragonwitch
lives. And she has vowed vengeance on all who have wronged her.

And more to come!
It looks quite frightening what with all the smoke coming out if her dress.
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing, Anne Elisabeth, I can't wait to read it! Definitely looking forward to Starflower, too.
ReplyDeleteOooooh the story sounds amazing! I wasn't sure what this book would be about, but now I know it has something to do with the Lady of Aiven! I'm looking forward to it!!!
ReplyDeleteI think it's awesome that the sword is the stone. Rather classsic. Only it's a really bad sign for the good guys that the bad girl is reaching for the sword in the stone.
Ah...but perhaps only they who are worthy will be able to pull it out.
I just got your first three books in this series from the library last month, and I feel in love with them. I went ahead and bought the first three and pre-ordered Starflower. Being a new fan, this is a real treat to see so soon after falling in love with the series! I think the cover is amazing!
ReplyDeleteOH MY WORD I CAN'T WAIT!!! Now I really can't decide which cover I like best...
ReplyDeleteOk; I've decided I like this one best. They are all just so perfect it's hard to decide!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! Great cover, great story...I can't wait for it to come out.

Don't judge a book by its cover but.....
ReplyDeleteTHAT LOOKS EPIC!
Truly terrific! A queen of evil not to be taken lightly! Make room Maleficent! I can't wait to hear the story you have weaved, but first, Starflower. :o)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the cover and your inspiring stories. Anne. Hope your weekend is blessed.
Yay yay yay!
ReplyDeleteWOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, everyone! I was SO excited to receive this cover. Can you see some of the details . . . such as the moon-and-stars detailing on the hilt of that sword? (Bethany House really hit the nail on the head as far as details in this cover . . . so many things that look just how I decribed them in the book itself.)
ReplyDeleteAnd a special welcome to Emma as a new fan! :) Happy to see you here, and glad you could share in the fun of this cover reveal!
Looking forward to sharing DRAGONWITCH with all of you next summer! In the meanwhile . . . STARFLOWER . . .
Wow. EPIC. I can't wait for this one!! And I completely love the name Mouse, don't know why. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a new fan here, too. Your stories are amazing! Can't wait to get my hands on Starflower!
ReplyDeleteThis cover -- a bit of a wake-up after the quieter Starflower cover, I think. ;) Amazing!
Congratulations, Mrs. Stengl. I love stories with kitchen maids in them, so it will be interesting to see what role this Mouse character plays. I'm sure she's a mouse in name alone. The DragonWitch was so frightening in Veiled Rose, so I'm sure she's even more so in later books. Can't wait to learn more about her. A true villainness! God bless you.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is so cool! It will be a hard wait until next summer for it to come out!
ReplyDeleteThe cover is amazing, and I totally can't wait to read the book. :D
Ohmygosh! That looks absolutely amazing! NOW I definetely can't wait! The suspense is killing me :)
ReplyDeleteA-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!
ReplyDeletePerfect!
I didn't think you could get better then the Heartless cover (realizing that the girl inside the dragon's eye wasn't being watched, but was Una INSIDE the dragon). But this definately rivals it.
Can't wait to learn about the Lady of Aiven... or should I say Beana???
Good for you Emma! I kinda wish I had just jumped in.
ReplyDeleteI read Heartless two years ago, than only just as Moon Blood came out found out there was more.
