Welcome to a new cover reveal!

Today we have the pleasure of help reveal the cover of The Shadow of the Ice, the fourth novel in the Legends of Elessia: Age of Rekindling series, written by Luís Falcão de Magalhães.

Let's take a look at the blurb:

The Holy Kingdom burns. While two princesses vie for the throne, the undead launch a new invasion, backed by allies out of myth and legend. The elves have returned to Elessia... and they come as conquerors.

Johan, his thieving days long behind him, seeks only to live peacefully with his young daughter. But when an old ally asks him to join the rebel cause, he is pulled into the maelstrom of war as the last protector of a princess on the run.

Meanwhile, the fighting separates Knight Erika from her family during a diplomatic mission. Her only hope of reunion lies with a mercenary army. Yet their price is steep…

Unbeknownst to all, the assassin Annah hunts a craftsman of god-killing weapons in a distant kingdom. But the strange land has its own deities, and she has caught their eye.

When the warrior Andoh marches with his undead host and ruthless elven allies, razing city after city and encircling the capital, the threads of fate conspire to pull all four together.

In a clash that will reshape their world, some will rise as legends… while others will fall as dust and ash.

The Shadow of the Ice is planned to be released the November 12th, 2024. You can already pre-order it on this link.

The cover has been designed by Eureka Akerue (Arstation).

Luís Falcão de Magalhães

 My name is Luis, and I’m the black sheep of the family.

Born the scion of a household of magistrates and physicians, I was groomed from a young age to meet those expectations. I threw the chain of office away and became a bard instead.

I’ve since traveled the breadth of my homeland, picking up tales here and there. I’ve dined with aldermen and drank firewater with vagabonds; I’ve sung moonlit serenades to hussies and taken the daughters of wealthy merchants to grand balls. I’ve joined secret orders, learning their lore and passphrases; I’ve locked arms with tree-huggers and danced with them under the full moon.But two things sing to my soul like nothing else.

One, the roll of the dice, be it on the wood of the tabletop or within the shards of magical glass that are everywhere in our society.

Two, the tales of daring, of heroism and valor, of wickedness and deceit, to be found among the dusty tomes of the world’s libraries.

To contribute to those, I have made my life’s work.
