Cover Reveal: Azriel by Lee James (Laurie)

Hi friends! I hope everyone had a very happy Fourth of July weekend! I was originally going to share a Story Snippet with you today from my Peter Pan-inspired short story, "Threshold," which was published in the Mythical Doorways anthology put together by the Fellowship of Fantasy...

...BUT, then I saw the cover for Azriel by Lee James, which is being revealed TODAY, and I knew I had to share that instead! I know I'm a little biased since Love2ReadLove2Write Publishing is also my publisher, but their covers are just *so* gorgeous!!! First, here's a little bit about the author, Lee James:

Lee James writes stories of hope and redemption. Whether she creates fantasy, mystery, or historical fiction, her beautifully awkward characters traverse a dark labyrinth on their journey to a hopeful end. Her work is dedicated to sharing the beauty of Christ, one faith-infused project at a time. Keep up-to-date with all of her stories at www.leejameswrites.com.

Now, here's the back cover blurb for Azriel, which will release sometime this fall. I can't wait!!

Bree Faro learns early in life that she has only herself to depend on. Due to her feisty nature and unusual ability with a sword, she is educated in every fighting style imaginable and excels at them all. When she’s sent to infiltrate the city of Azriel, she does not expect to find her place among the Watchmen of the Keep, but they welcome her as one of their own. 

Little does Bree know that her new companions are in danger. 

An immortal creature lies in wait for any Keeper of the Flame, the city’s water source has dried up, and they are under constant attack from the Yirtzi—former Watchmen reduced to vengeful spirits, who sold their souls for power only to realize the enemy of Yahweh does not translate to the friend of mankind. Not only that, but the Watchmen are fraying. Hostilities come to a head when a Watchman is murdered. 

Only a Watchman can kill another Watchman, and all eyes shift to Bree. 

Bree finds herself faced with a choice. Does she engineer the betrayal of the powerful city, or does she embrace her destiny as a true Watchman of Yahweh and find the killer before it’s too late?

And finally, here's that amazing cover you've been waiting for! 

So many congratulations to Lee James and the L2L2 Publishing team for creating such a stunning book!!

See you next time!
