Welcome to a new cover reveal!

Today we have the pleasure of help reveal the cover of Blade of the Wanderer, first book in a new post-apocalyptic fantasy series Scars of Magic, written by Steven Raaymakers.

Let's take a look at the blurb:

The chronological short stories of Esterra Stake. Tractwalker. Mercenary. Exile.

When the stars fell, the world died.

Magic claimed Esterra's arm when she was a child. For her curse, she was exiled into the weird, pockmarked world of Verpace. The magic eats away at her, twisting her bones and psyche to its own will, the curse spreading with each use.

Now an adult, she wanders the world as a tractwalker, making her living through hunting, mercenary work, and whatever opportunities arise. It is a dangerous life. Deranged cultists cry out to the red-dwarf sun, deformed beasts prowl in every shadow, creatures born from myth lurk in broken temples, and every night brings the threat of the lethal lichtvallen.

Yet some greater danger seems to lurk on the horizon, and there are whispers in the dark. Will Esterra survive, or will she succumb to the incessant call of the magic?-

The first volume of stories in Scars of Magic, a post apocalyptic sword-and-sorcery series overflowing with horror, mystery, magic and action.  

You can already pre-order this book on Amazon, as it will be released the February 2nd, 2025. 

The cover has been designed by the own author.
