War darkens the horizon...
In the wake of destruction, revenge drives Arioch en Kyrida to hunt down the man responsible for destroying half his village. His search leads him to a town where truth is hoarded and secrets lurk in every corner. Solely focused on making his target pay, Arioch cares little for the whispers of approaching evil until he is strongarmed into helping protect one of his most recent nemeses. If Anthi Klarkson doesn't drive him insane—and if he manages to keep her alive long enough—they may be able to help stop the incoming war in its tracks. But someone wants Anthi dead, and they'll do anything to achieve that mission.
Zinnia Klarkson wants nothing more than peace for her mourning family, but nearby attacks, kidnappings, and rumors of impending war steal all hope of a quiet life. When a mostly-dead man lands on her doorstep, hunted and without strong chance of survival, she is thrust into a covert operation that threatens her family's safety. As secrets grow and answers remain veiled, Zinnia must choose between helping a ragtag group of reluctant allies or keeping her family out of harm's path.
Trust must mend what was once shattered and courage must be sought as a second All Lands War threatens to decimate the six lands.

I admit it, I squealed SO HARD when I saw the cover for this book. 😍🥰🤩 I read Shattered Reflection a few months ago (totally did not sentence my sister to a fangirly rant and lots of emotional wails *cough cough*) and absolutely fell in love with the sister duo Anthia and Zinnia.
And when I heard that this book was about THEM?
*dramatic sobbing and flailing of arms*
YES, YES, YES, GIMME THIS BOOK NOW.
*cough*
Anywho, all that to say:
WE HAVE THE COVER!!!!!!!!!!!
And y'all?
IT'S GORGEOUS.
You ready for it?

*Que the dramatic rantings and ravings in deranged Hobbit*
ISN'T THAT PURE GOLD?! I am SOOOOOOO excited to get this book on my shelf, to take it's rightful place beside Shattered Reflection.
But how, you may ask, do I get this lovely, lovely cover in my hands? Why I'm so glad you asked. 😉

STATS AND BOOK INFO:
Genre: Christian Fantasy/Fairy Tale Retelling
Series: The Shattered Lands, Book Two
Releases: June 27, 2023
Retelling of: Snow White and Rose Red
And something interesting I found out, Snow White and Rose Red is actually one book. It's not a combined effort of "Snow White" and "Red Rose". Nope. It's one single fairytale, which I think is SO cool (especially because I've never heard of that particular fairytale.)
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Madisyn Carlin is a Christian, homeschool graduate, blogger, voracious bookdragon, and author. When not spending time with her family or trekking through the mountains, she weaves tales of redemption, faith, and action.

Y'all, PLEASE go preorder this book. And if you haven't, read the first book in this series, Shattered Reflection. It is SO amazing, and very, very beautiful. (You can find my review here.)
That's it for today, y'all! Thank you for tuning in for this very impromptu cover reveal and listening to me fangirl with reckless abandon. 😂 It was much appreciated. 😉
What do YOU think of this cover? Have you read any of Carlin's works? Any of you ever heard of Snow White and Rose Red? ARE YOU GOING TO READ THIS BOOK? I'd love to know! <3
Thank you so much for sharing SR2's cover! And feel free to fangirl away. We authors like that. ;) Ah, yes. Anthi and Zinnia. Dear, dear girls. I think Anthi's gotten even saucier, though. She's quite a spitfire. And I heard they have a goose named Snow White who's equally sassy. The things my characters surprise me with.
Ahhhh I love your enthusiasm and how you did this post!!!! I'm SOOO excited to read this book too!!!!!!
