Welcome to a new cover reveal!

Today we have the pleasure of help reveal the cover of Mists of Memory, the second book in the dark fantasy series Sea of Souls, written by N.C. Scrimgeour.

Let's take a look at the blurb:

She had no need for the tides to be kind, not if she became the storm…

The Selkie Isles were meant to be a safe haven for Isla Blackwood, a place she could finally call home. Instead, she finds herself hunted across the sea for a pelt the Grand Admiral will do anything to recover.

But the Admiralty isn’t the only threat on the horizon. A terrible mist sickness plagues the isles, carried by the vengeful spirits of fallen selkies. To stop it, Isla will need to learn the lost secrets of her mother’s rare magic—if she can earn the trust of those who call her an outsider.

Back in the capital, Darce Galbraith prepares to set sail with the enemy fleet. Surrounded by danger, he will do all he can to sabotage their search—even if it means risking the wrath of the Grand Admiral himself.

A storm is ready to break on human and selkie alike, and only the tides know what’s waiting on the other side…

Mists of Memory is the gripping sequel to Sea of Souls, a dark fantasy saga filled with folklore and monsters, ancient magic and high-seas adventure. Perfect for fans of Adrienne Young, Katherine Arden and Naomi Novik.

Mists of Memory will be released the March 5th, 2025. You can already pre-order it on this link. 

The cover has been designed by Miblart.

The hardcover includes a design under the jacket.
