Happy Birthday to Me! The DAGGER AND COIN cover is here, and it’s beautiful!

February 11, 2018Contests and Giveaways, Dagger and Coin, Young Adult Fantasykathymacmillan

Today is my birthday, and I had such a great present this week: the official cover reveal of Dagger and Coin this past Thursday! Thank you so much to YA Books Central for hosting it!

For those who haven’t seen the gorgeousness yet, here it is:

Like the cover of Sword and Verse, this cover features art by Colin Anderson. I love the way he worked in elements of Soraya’s story, but in a way that reflects the design of the first book too. Don’t they look beautiful side by side?

Dagger and Coin will be published November 20, 2018 by HarperTeen. You can read more about the book here.

And make sure to head over to the cover reveal page at YA Books Central to enter a giveaway for an Advanced Reading Copy and a personalized bookmark with your name in the language of the gods!

Last Friday, Nicola at Queen of the Bookshelves hosted the first post-publication extra from Sword and Verse: “Exposed“, a story from Mati’s point of view about what happened when his father found out about him and Raisa. You can read the story here.

This is the first of several extra stories and deleted scenes I will be posting over the next few months. Want to get early access to the next one? Here’s how:
