Hey everyone! I’m delighted today to be helping to share the exciting COVER REVEAL for the next book in the Legends of Light series by Hope Ann!
You may remember me reviewing Burning Rose, which was a collection of the first three novellas in this fairytale retelling series with a dash of Christian allegory.
Well, now the 4th one is coming out soon, and I COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED, because it’s a Twelve Dancing Princesses retelling! And… I mean… hello, this is me we’re talking about, and in case you didn’t know, this is my FAVORITE fairytale and I’m obsessed with retellings of it. XD
SO YEAH.
This novella is titled The Stealthmaster’s Shadow (*cue shrieking because I love this title*) and now it’s time to reveal the gorgeous cover designed by Kate Flournoy!
Oh, whoops, just another snarky quote.
NOT SORRY.
Ahem.
Okay, okay, you’re here to see the cover, so I will finally share it. š
Now for the actual cover.
*drumroll*

Itās ten confounded years since the war ended.
Ten years since the Prince won the war and pardoned the rebels.
And left.
The Prince left, but lasting peace never had a chance to begin.
As a Stealthmaster, Verus is determined to complete the task the Prince left, whatever the cost. Traitors, needlessly vague governors, and threatening rumors are all part of a standard mission. Verus will bring peace to what is left of the world, one city and village at a time. According to the governorās daughter, the war was never about a physical peace in the first place, but what does she or any of the other Followers know? They werenāt there during the war.
They didnāt see the horrors Tauscher spread over the land or the scars that will never fade.
Commandeering the task of a former soldier, Verus presents himself to the governor of Nerva. Eventually heāll need to undermine the man, but even Stealthmasters need money, and a mission to discover the owner of a misshapen slipper shouldnāt be difficult.
Until the ambassador from Zahavia appears.
Suddenly face to face with nightmares from the past, Verus struggles to help those plunged into danger, from the governorās newest prisoner to a serving lad to an infuriating woman heās taken to calling princess. Fleeing will only make the enemy stronger. But stayingā¦
Staying could doom them all.
Coming June 1, 2018
EEP. I LOVE THE COVER. I’m really, really excited for this book. š
In the words of Hope Ann herself: “Seriously. Go preorder it before you forget. Unless you have doubts about sarcasm, danger, and a cover that cool. Or if you don’t have money. That might make preordering it a little difficult too.”
