Cover Reveal: The Hand That Casts the Bone (The Vanguard Chronicles #2) by HL Tinsley

March 25, 2022 by Tyra Leave a Comment

A big thank you to HL Tinsley for allowing FFA to host the cover reveal for The Hand That Casts the Bone (The Vanguard Chronicles #2). First, a quick refresher on what the cover for book #1, We Men of Ash and Shadow, looked like.

Synopsis

“Effortlessly readable. Grimdark Gaslamp at its very best,” – Peter McLean, author of Priest of Bones

‘It was funny how everything came down to resources. Who had them, who wanted them, and who would die for them. That was the thing, when you cast a bone into the dog pit to watch the hounds fight; it was not the strongest dog that won. It was the hand that cast the bone.’

Alone in a city on the cusp of revolution, separated from his allies and with nothing to his name, former mercenary John Vanguard finds vigilante life can be a poorly paid gig. When an influential aristocrat’s death causes a sudden shift in the balance of power, Vanguard finds himself once more caught in the crossfire between dangerous men with murderous ambitions.

From his tower far above the city, Captain Sanquain seeks to tighten his iron grip on the capital and its citizens. Amidst the chaos of the Black Zone, a deadly turf war is brewing between the crime lords. Outside the city, libertarian Argent Cooke struggles to gather support for the uprising. And from the smog-stained rooftops, Vanguard’s former protégé Tarryn Leersac is watching all.

With any hopes of redemption fading, Vanguard finds one last shred of hope in the form of an old friend, risen from the dead and promising the chance for atonement.
