Cover Reveal: The Rill Lord, by L.L. Stephens
25 Mar 2026Welcome to a new cover reveal!
We have the pleasure of helping reveal the cover of The Rill Lord, the sixth and final novel in the fantasy series The Triempery Revelations, written by L.L. Stephens, published by Forest Path Books.
Let's take a look at the blurb:
The Wall has been destroyed—and magically restored—by Dorilian Sordaneon. Instead of welcoming him with a hero’s return to Prince Handurin’s army, the Kheld and Esseran troops are mutinous, fearing Dorilian’s newly revealed powers. The rift allows the sorcerer Nammuor to spring a deadly trap.
When Handurin and Dorilian finally engage with Nammuor’s sorcery, the full powers of both sides are revealed, unleashing both desperation and cataclysm.
The Rill Lord will be released the April 21st, 2026.
The cover has been designed by Larry Rostant

L.L. Stephens
L.L. Stephens is a pen name. The author is somewhat along in years and has enjoyed—let’s just call it that—a long career as a published author. Her first book was published by DAW when she was 29 and an editor at DAW encouraged her to write Sordaneon as an entry point into her Triempery series. But then life happened. (It was ugly.)
When L.L. (her real initials) could not find an agent in the 2000s she had modest publishing success as a writer of erotic romances. Giving up on ever snagging an agent for her series (few things are more painful than being an older author trying to land an agent), L.L. accepted an invitation from a small independent press, Forest Path Books, to publish the series—which by that point had been fully written. Of course she accepted: nothing is making L.L. happier than seeing her hard work being discovered and embraced by readers.
