Newsletter Exclusive: GHOSTSMITH Cover Reveal

Early Access cover reveal for the sequel to BONESMITH

ARE YOU READY?!?!?!

We are officially in Spooky Season™ which feels like the perfect time to reveal the cover for GHOSTSMITH, the sequel to BONESMITH, and the final book in the House of the Dead duology ☠️👻

PLEASE REMEMBER: This is an early exclusive for my newsletter subscribers! The cover will be trickling out online over the next couple of days, but will not officially be revealed publicly until Wednesday, so please do not share or post anywhere online!! 

GHOSTSMITH COVER REVEAL

Here is the official description:

In this action-packed finale to the House of the Dead Duology, Wren and her friends put everything they know to the test as they battle the living and the undead to save their world.

Wren is still reeling from the revelation that the mother she thought was dead is actually the Corpse Queen, a ghostsmith with the terrifying power to control the undead. It was Wren’s own mother who created the iron revenants—an army of near unbeatable undead soldiers. When the iron revenants attack, no one in the Dominions will have the strength to stand in their way.

Now Wren, Leo, and Julian find themselves once more in the Breach, this time on the run from Wren’s father, who is determined to secure more power for himself and the House of Bone. The three are desperate to stop the upcoming war, but working together is easier said than done with Julian still furious about Wren double-crossing him. And to make matters worse, Wren is plagued by powerful new abilities that force her to reassess everything she knows about being a bonesmith.

When Wren’s long-lost twin brother shows up and vows to help her destroy the well of magic that feeds the iron revenants, she must decide if trusting him is worth potentially playing right into their mother’s hands.

After all, the dead might be dangerous, but it’s the living who can betray you.

GHOSTSMITH is book 2 of the House of the Dead Duology, and it’s releasing August 13, 2024! 

And now finally, FINALLY, here is the cover!!!

Behold the COMPLETE and UTTER badassery! My girl Wren has honestly never looked better, wielding both a bone blade and a certain bone ring, not to mention that antlered skull. And the eyes. THE EYES. Plus we have IRON REVENANTS people, looking slick and scary and just plain fucking COOL.

I am so so lucky to have been blessed with these covers, the artwork once again coming from the incredible Tommy Arnold, and I couldn’t ask for anything more. This is the perfect accompaniment to BONESMITH, and I cannot wait for all of you to get to read this book next year! But speaking of reading this book…

GHOSTSMITH ARCS

I’ve gotten some questions about this and I am thrilled to share that YES, there will be print and digital ARCs (advanced reader copies) for GHOSTSMITH! I will definitely be doing some giveaways (though the ARCs won’t be available until the new year), so check your inboxes as I’ll be in touch again soon 👻

FAIRYLOOT EDITION

I’m SO GLAD I can finally share the stunning photos that have been all over my instagram the past couple months, as BONESMITH was the YA selection for Fairyloot’s August box! This edition was truly magical, and while getting a fancy edition is such an incredible honor as a writer, the truly best part is all the new readers I find through book boxes. So many people messaged saying how much they enjoyed the book, but that they’d never heard of it or wouldn’t usually pick a book like that up, and they’re glad they did. That is the magic of what these boxes do!

This book box is also the reason why BONESMITH was a bestseller in the UK (and has already earned out, which is an exciting milestone for an author, and means I start to get royalty checks, yay!), so needless to say, I am extremely grateful ❤️

I have also gotten some questions about a Fairyloot edition of GHOSTSMITH, but I haven’t heard anything yet so fingers crossed (and maybe let Fairyloot know there’s demand on their posts)!

Behold these gorgeous photos courtesy of @booknerd623 on Instagram.
