| Cersei Lannister...there is a resemblance! |
But more about M.J. and her fabulous novel, because this is her day and her time to shine. Here's the Effigy cover detail:
The survival of a once-mighty kingdom rests in the hands of its young queen, Haleine Coileáin, as it slowly succumbs to an ancient evil fueled by her husband’s cruelty.
A sadistic man with a talent for torture and a taste for murder, he is determined to burn the land and all souls within. Haleine is determined to save her kingdom and, after a chance encounter, joins forces with the leader of the people’s rebellion. She gives him her support, soon followed by her heart.
Loving him is inadvertent but becomes as natural and necessary as breathing. She lies and steals on his behalf, doing anything she can to further their cause. She compromises beliefs held all her life, for what life will exist if evil prevails?
Her journey leads to a deceiving world of magic, monsters, and gods she never believed existed outside of myth. The deeper she goes, the more her soul is stripped away, but she continues on, desperate to see her quest complete. If she can bring her husband to ruin and save her people, any sacrifice is worth the price—even if it means her life.
Release date: July 22, 2014 (one month away!)

I'm so happy for M.J.
ReplyDeleteIt does look like her.
ReplyDeleteMJ's committed - this book WILL happen now.
After reading the blurb, the cover seems to fit the book really well. I especially like the last line of the blurb.
ReplyDeleteI'm so frickin excited for MJ! WOOT WOOT! Congrats MJ, the cover is awesome and I love the blurb. :)
ReplyDeleteI think she's hotter than Cersei. And also probably doesn't screw her brother next to her dead son's carcass.
ReplyDeleteI am pleased to report that Haleine neither stabs people in the back nor screws her brother next to her dead son's carcass—and not just because she doesn't have a brother, either.
ReplyDeleteThanks for helping me out today, Michael, and for writing such nice things. You're truly wonderful!
The cover is soooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe resemblance is frightening, but I like M.J.'s cover more. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the cover. Beautifully painted.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read it too but now I'll be wanting to call her main character Cersi thanks to you.
ReplyDeleteI love the cover! What a fantastic book. I hope it does well. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteYup, that's a nice cover. Interesting name too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, everyone, for your very kind words. I salute you all!
ReplyDeleteThat is indeed a gorgeous cover. I'll check out Effigy 'cause it sounds exciting!
