Welcome to a new cover reveal!

Today we have the pleasure of helping reveal the cover of Our Ways Unmasked, second part of the Apidecca Duology, written by C.B. Lansdell.

Let's take a look at the blurb:

Knyadrea’s sovereigns grow ever more paranoid. Armed enforcers patrol Apidecca’s streets, and tensions escalate. With nothing to lose, Oklas Sayve turns to resyn for solutions. Could the mystical substance that unravelled his life also prove to be his salvation? There is no room for doubt. Too many are relying on his expertise. The knyads he once considered charities are now close friends and allies… and one of them might even be something more. 

New threats stand between Prismer and the dreams she’s only beginning to open herself up to. Venturing out from under the shadow of the Pentarchy, can she recover her faith in the knyad god, in herself, and in the people who see past her mask? In Our Ways Unmasked, the second book in the Apidecca Duology, Oklas and Prismer are not the only ones with an eye on the city’s future. Rebels, traitors, and scumbled outcasts have a myriad of reasons to seek change. Together, can they overcome an oppressive regime that has stood for hundreds of years?

Our Ways Unmasked will be released June 25th, 2026. You can already pre-order it on this link. 

If you are a reviewer, you can sign-up for an ARC.

The cover has been designed by the own author.

C.B. Lansdell

Mountains, sea and urban sprawl: these are as much a part of C.B. Lansdell’s imaginary worlds as the place where she lives. A Capetonian, she’s a lifelong fynbos-appreciator. For best creative results, she should regularly be left soaking in a rockpool by the beach. She has illustrated material for the South African Department of Education, Stellenbosch University, and many other institutions for the past 17 years.

Her published works include the Apidecca Duology, The Tidelings of Dras Sayve (a novelette) and Little Bead in a Squall (an interactive short story on the Unearthed Stories app). All titles are set on Knyadrea, a habitable moon, and her characters are knyads, a near-human species who mysteriously emerge from the sea.

Her books are sold by many retailers in a variety of formats. Far Removed is also available as an audiobook.
