26 Aug 2025

Welcome to a new cover reveal!

Today we have the pleasure of helping host the reveal of the cover of Tales of Lunis Aquaria Volume II, a new fantasy short story collection, set in the shared universe that author Tessa Hastjarjanto has used in many of her stories.

Let's take a look at the blurb:

Decades have passed since the old gods vanished, but their divine mark still lingers on Lunis Aquaria. Look carefully, and you'll find traces of them hidden in stories and whispered in the hinterlands. Will you unravel their secrets? 

Step into Lunis Aquaria with nine new tales of adventure, mystery, and wonder. 

While most stories can be read as standalones, some refer back to stories included in Tales of Lunis Aquaria Volume 1.

Tales of Lunis Aquaria Volume II will be released the 6th November. 

You can already pre-order it at this link, and add it to your Goodreads.

The cover has been designed by Arden Powell.
