Shadow of the Mark Cover Reveal!

You guiiizzzeee! You have no idea how excited I am to be helping reveal the cover of Shadow of the Mark, the second book to Carrier of the Mark! (CotM review here.)  In short, I'm super excited for the release of Shadow and am pretty psyched to be doing this cover reveal. 

And if you're wondering what this absolutely gorgeous cover looks like, here it is:

Order from Amazon

Life for Megan Rosenberg just got a lot more complicated.

While she evoked the air element, and her feelings for Adam
intensified, a web of lies, deceit, and betrayal has been spun around her. With the Order tightening its hold, and the reinstatement of the Mark Knights, Megan has more questions than answers as the
Marked Ones grow in strength.

New people arouse suspicion, the DeRises start behaving
strangely, and Megan begins to unravel a destiny shrouded in mystery. It's a destiny the Order has struggled to hide, and a destiny someone from the past, far in the past, has already laid claim to.

Alliances will be made, and friends will be lost, as the
Order's dark secrets are revealed by the very thing they sought to destroy.

AAHHH!! Ermahgerd!! Isn't it fabulous??  Oh, just look at her hair! It's so red!  And how she suddenly poofs up in a cloud of purple . . . SWEET. 

Oh, and if you're thinking that it looks strikingly familiar to another book cover, check out what Leigh has to say about the cover!

I know, there's no mistaking it. This is definitely a Carrier Series cover, but that was the intention. After the amazing reception to the cover of Carrier of the Mark, HarperCollins wanted Shadow's cover to be instantly recognizable. And it is, but the new darker color palette reflects the darker tone that this installment brings, and the pink and purple really make it pop. I love it and think HarperCollins have done another amazing job. I hope you like it too.

I totally agree!

Also, this baby won't be released until July 9th, 2013.  Soooo, I suggest you either pre-order this baby or put it on every TBR list you may have.

About the author:
I started out life in South Africa. A year later my parents moved home to Dublin, Ireland. When I was older and realized my parents had moved me from exotic Durban, to sedate Rathfarnham, Dublin 16, I was rightly ticked off.

Giving up lions for sheep, I grew up in the foothills of the Dublin Mountains where I went to a convent school and had to contend with uniforms, gabardines, and nuns. When not dodging the beady glare of the Sisters of Mercy, I was devouring every book I could get my hands on.

I traveled all over Europe while working in banking and treasury, but I gave up my calculator in favor of a keyboard and haven't stopped writing since. My first book, Carrier of the Mark, was published by HarperTeen in 2011.

Our home is in Cork in the south of Ireland, but we're currently on loan to Massachusetts in the US where I continue to write books about magic, ghosts, and romance, with a bit of Irish flavor.
