Blurb:
A primeval fiend is loose in the ancient metropolis of Malkandrah, intent on burning it to a wasteland. The city's leaders stand idly by and the sorcerers that once protected the people are long gone.
Maldren, a young necromancer, is the only person brave enough to stand against the creature. Instead of help from the Masters of his Guild, he is given a new apprentice. Why now, and why a girl? As they unravel the clues to defeating the fiend, they discover a secret society holding the future of the city in its grip. After betrayals and attempts on his life, Maldren has reason to suspect everyone he thought a friend, even the girl.
His last hope lies in an alliance with a depraved and murderous ghost, but how can he trust it? Its sinister past is intertwined in the lives of everyone he holds dear.
Can only evil defeat evil?

Isn't the cover awesome? I can't wait to read Graeme's book.
Please don't mind the new changes to my blog. I'm trying out new looks. I'm loving my new header, but it's difficult to find the right background to go with it. If only I wrote steampunk, because there are some fabulous free background that would match the color palette! Right now, if you can tell, the 13th Floor cover (without the text and silhouette) is in the background.
My mom's visiting next week, so I won't be around, but then the next week, school starts! Yay!
Have a wonderful weekend.
Oooh, like it.
ReplyDeleteVery cool cover!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your visit with your mom.
That is a very cool cover. It caught my eye immediately.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your visit with your mom!
Ooooh very cool cover! Congrats to Graeme! :D
ReplyDeleteThat header looks amazing. I adore this cover too- so much promise. :)
ReplyDeleteHave you considered plain browns for your background without an image- sometimes less is more and it might make your header pop- throwing ideas out there. :)
Ooh, beautiful cover. It definitely draws the eye.
ReplyDeleteYour header is great and I think this background works out just fine. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteGood-looking cover -- and a nice new look on your blog, Christine. It's fun to tweak things until we get them just right (for now...)
