And here, in all its awesome, is the cover for Ascendant
--the second book in Diana Peterfreund's killer unicorns series. I love it. I love it from the complicated look on Astrid's face, to the scroll work on the sword, to the slightly lighter overall tones. Yep. It's gonna look just swell next to my copy of Rampant
. What do you guys think? And if you'd like a chance to win an ARC of Ascendant
, Diana's giving one away right now! I love what you have to do to enter--comment with a 6-word work of fiction. Check it out.

I hope that you're finding small ways to stay afloat, to remain connected to something, someone, someplace (real or fictional) that sustains you. Dark and difficult times, indeed.

I love that cover! Thanks for posting it :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that's such a beautiful cover! I haven't read Rampant although I'm curious about it. Killer unicorns sound awesome.
ReplyDeleteprophecygirl, my pleasure. I've been eagerly awaiting it!
ReplyDeleteChachic, isn't it? Yeah, the killer unicorns are nothing but win. I'm anxious to see where Astrid and the gang go in this one.
It's such a beautiful cover! I just love, love, love it. I can't wait to read it; I just finished Rampant a couple weeks ago and I'm hungry for more!

ReplyDeleteKiller unicorns? Okay, even if the cover wasn't amazing, I am now very interested by the killer unicorns :)
Kay, yup. Having just finished RAMPANT you are primed for this baby!
ReplyDeleteCat, lol. Hie thee to a bookstore/library near you and get your hands on RAMPANT. She really knocks the whole killer unicorn thing out of the park. Truly.
