Cover Reveal: Theater of Shadows, by Jennings Zabrinsky

19 Sept 2025

Welcome to a new cover reveal!

Today we have the pleasure of helping reveal the cover of Theater of Shadows, second novel in the Strange Frontier series, written by Jennings Zabrinsky.

Let's take a look at the blurb:

Sellane has assembled an army of exiles, conquered her rival warlords, and carved a small protectorate from the wild frontier. For a woman born to inherit an empire, it is not enough.

A bloody misunderstanding threatens to flare into an unwinnable war with the neighbouring Kingdom of Aelland, but when their ambassador summons her to the negotiating table, Sellane spies a slim opportunity to turn this powerful new enemy into exactly the sort of friend she needs, one who will help wrest her stolen throne back from her traitorous brother.

To forge this alliance, she will have to readopt the title of crown princess and venture into the heart of an alien civilization, into a tangled web of poisonous intrigue. She’ll have to bargain with criminals, conspire with monsters, deceive princes, and most importantly of all, watch her back.

The stage is set for the tale of her restoration, but the role she must play is perilous, and all the other players are hiding very sharp knives.

Theater of Shadows will be published in November 2025. In case you are a reviewer, you can request an ARC here.
