Welcome to a new cover reveal!

Today we have the pleasure of help to reveal the cover of the third novel in the dark fantasy series The Palace of Winds, written by Karen Lykkebo.

Let's take a look at the blurb:

The Spirits are free and Literra is on the brink of civil war. Following the destruction of the City of Winds, Jodea, Lady of Earth, has taken refuge in her family’s fortress of Groma. Here, while waiting for Mareau to recover from fatal wounds, she advocates for peace. An appeal that’s continuously ignored by Panmar’s soldiers who are raging terror upon the land. Forced to act, she marches her army to meet them. But the power of the Spirits is a sporadic and unreliable ally, and soon she finds herself in need of aid that perhaps only the Wind can provide.

Trapped between the lines of war, Samerra and Jerro search for Storm whom they refuse to believe dead. Their journey is treacherous and old foes become forced allies while they tread along a knife’s edge of danger and failure.Far out in the wilderness, Lira is hiding with Panmar, struggling to understand the purpose of her existence while memories of another life merge with those of an ancient one. Putting her faith in the one person she knows – Panmar – she hopes to find the truth about herself before Literra succumbs to war. But Panmar has his own agenda, one that strikes fear into her heart, and she sends the Spirits to find another who might know her truth: The Spirit Guide.

When she finds that her fear and anger is not only justified but the base of her very being, the question remaining is not if she should take vengeance, but on whom.

In a race against time, the Wind will rise one last time in a fight for justice. 

Winds of Determination will be released the December 18th, 2024. You can pre-order it using this link.
