Fresh cover for Margaret Rogerson’s next stand alone, Sorcery of Thorns! ❤
At long last, it’s here!
If you would like to read a preview of Sorcery of Thorns, there’s one available on the Barnes & Noble Teen blog. This is a standalone YA fantasy about magical libraries, battle librarians, and sentient books that can transform into monsters.
What an incredible privilege to have cover art illustrated by Charlie Bowater. I always tell my editor that I spend hours staring at the covers—and I’m not joking. I cried when I saw this one and An Enchantment of Raven’s for the first time. There are so many things I love about Sorcery of Thorns’ cover, but what stands out to me the most is what a great job Charlie did making the heroine, Elisabeth, look physically strong. Elisabeth is tall (taller than her love interest!) and can really hit stuff with that sword. In an environment where there is often pressure to make YA heroines look delicate on book covers, this strikes me as something special.
“He couldn’t stand it, all of this inside him. In the end, he was nobody to Adam, he was nobody to Ronan. Adam spit his words back at him and Ronan squandered however many second chances he gave him. Gansey was just a guy with a lot of stuff and a hole inside him that chewed away more of his heart every year. They were always walking away from him. But he never seemed able to walk away from them.”
