Its both an honour and a pleasure to bring you the cover reveal for Jessica A McMinn’s second novel, The Blood Curse. Which is Book 2 in her Gardens of War & Wasteland series, aka the sequel to #SPFBO9 semi-finalist, THE RUPTURED SKY!
Blurb
Amika has left Holania in ruins.
Grief-stricken and betrayed, she is on a fiery path to set things right—even if it means submitting to prophecy’s chain. Emboldened by her growing powers, Amika heads towards the wastelands of Qhoraak to rescue her brother and drag another Chosen into destiny’s sick game.
With demonspawn mobilising in unprecedented numbers, she and Rei-Hai Shaw must confront the dangers awaiting them beyond the western border… and those lurking within their shadows.
Kriah, adrift at sea, struggles with the aftermath of breaking the first seal. Now, Azet’haal and his Meah-Hyren army know of the plan to revive the Goddess and it’s only a matter of time before they make their move on the mainland.
But as a new threat spreads across the east, Kriah must uncover the origins of the deadly blood plague and convince the vulnerable people of Whyt’hallen that it is not the old Sickness they fear.
Or did breaking the first seal release more than just a lock on the Goddess’s soul?
And now for the juicy reveal…….
