Super awesome news on the blog today -- Claire's book Blood of the Seer now has a COVERRRRR and BOY AM I EXCITED!!!! <3
So Claire has been a favorite author of mine ever since I stumbled across her indie book The Rise of Aredor (which I SUPER SUPER SUPER recommend -- think The Horse and His Boy meets G. A. Henty). The sequel to Aredor (The Wildcat of Braeton) was also awesome. And then her first book in the Dragon Keep Chronicles (Oath of the Outcast) was AMAZINGGGG
and now the second book in the Dragon Keep Chronicles HAS A COVER
and I get to share it with y'all.
(so I have a little sister bellowing away on our bagpipe chanter right now IN THE SAME ROOM as I try to type this up and it's RaThEr DiStRaCtInG....)
Anyway, let me share with you this cover. Because there's a high change y'all scrolled down and didn't even read half of this to begin with, yah?
Isn't it beautiful??? <3 And let me share the blurb, just in case you already don't want to read the book based on the cover alone.
A blood curse.
A shadow world.
An indomitable evil.
A forgotten bond.
Banished for a crime he didn’t commit, Rhys MacDuffy risked his life to rescue the little brother he no longer could claim as his own. Sean, the Seer of Clan MacDuffy, returns from his ordeal to war between the Clans and Lord Adam Barkley. Moreover, the Clan Lords refuse to lift the exile on Rhys. No outcast has ever been forgiven.
But the druids who held Sean captive have taken the key to controlling his powers—his blood. Rhys determines to keep his brother safe no matter the cost. Heedless of the war, he leads his rowdy band of Mountain Brigands on a hunt to destroy the druids before they destroy Sean with their dark magic.
The druids force Sean into a shadow world full of demons and danger, where their menacing god Deronis can consume him. Yet Rhys is able to follow Sean into the other world. There they discover an older magic that might be the key to stopping the druids.
The bond of brotherhood between Rhys and Sean runs deep. But is it strong enough to stand against the druid’s blood god?
