Welcome to a new cover reveal!

Today we have the pleasure of help reveal the cover of A Chorus of War, the second verse in the Last Ballad series, written by Scott Palmer.

Let's take a look at the blurb:

Fires return. Empires burn. 

James Culdaine and the surviving folk of Mal Hallow have spent the winter sheltered in the haunted castle of Kallahorn. When a dwindling food supply and the looming threat of siege forces them to leave, James struggles to keep his family's kingdom from breaking and begins to question his place in the world.

Deep in the mountains of the Fells, Etta struggles to find the peace she has promised to her young grandson. But when she is forced to take help from a mysterious person from her past, Etta finds herself deep in the tangles of ancient prophecy and at odds with everything she has ever believed in. 

Meanwhile, a prophet of Karaat, and the growing army at his back, make their way through the Behruvian desert to exterminate all who don't bow to His name, while a young prince of Hest tries to prepare for their coming amidst a civil war and the growing influence of a baleful spirit that has possessed him.

An ancient echo of war has returned and the gods are silent.

Welcome back to Ardura.

Scott Palmer

Scott Palmer was born in London, Ontario, Canada, where he lives with his wife, daughter, and two cats, and they conjure up magic (love and happiness) daily. His whole life has been a journey of collecting stories and stowing them like a library of experiences. 

Growing up in Middle Earth, Kanto, and Hyrule, before moving to darker worlds like Westeros, The Circle of The World, and The Randlands provided a sturdy foundation for Scott’s imagination to grow upon. He travelled to those other worlds and walked, and fought, and bled with the people that lived there. It was somewhere in those pages that he fell in love with the art of storytelling. Since taking those first steps out of reality, Scott has immersed himself in creating his own world. A place that could transport readers somewhere they could only dream of. A place of magic, and love, forgotten lore, and long history.

Scott started writing seriously in 2020 and now he cannot stop.
